[@father.george679]

You can just tell the thought and care that went into each song! The talent from everyone involved in the making of the album just exudes! And every bit of the vocals fit perfectly!

[@fabilsuper]

That's the best thing that happened this year. Thank you Alan and thank you Tragic Hero Records for having supported this band. Greetings from Italy. Oh vocals are phenomenal

[@sEEKllsevN]

this surpassed my expectations. what an incredible and powerful album. I really love the feel of this.

[@Fillet_O_Chris]

Alan, your songwriting is phenomenal. I'm happy you're not letting that talent go to waste.

[@mattlee8501]

Yes well said... the breakdown on pages makes me cry real tears

[@DivineMind222]

This album is very moving. I literally got chills. Not sure why, but I did. Wish there was a track listing though.

[@macolincolncybersec]

and honestly the rhythm+melody of the vocals in syncopation with the guitar's is a beautiful combination.

[@ivanmarquezwekilledtheharv4622]

I love how it makes me feel your music Thanks for this album, guys, it's full of love ... it's awesome!! Keep it up! Greetings from México.

[@lukeedwards1472]

You guys killed it I'm absolutely blown away with how good this is, well done and keep it up :)

[@paulyswift7609]

I can't stop going back to "Materia Spiritus", it's amazing!

[@itssssasazaki9410]

absolutely in love with this album!!! they never cease to amaze when it comes to songwriting!!! the lyrics are damn meaningful... 😍😍😍😍

[@gasmaskfacednerd5896]

Finding good, unknown music should be its own feeling.

[@thepostfire]

THIS ALBUM IS LOVE

[@zholyk3433]

Love this 100% one of the only albums I’ve found that sings about God 🤘🙏

[@TheArtificials]

Never gonna stop! ✝️❤️‍🔥

[@newlightgaming6081]

THIS ALBUM NEEDS AND DESERVES A LOT MORE ATTENTION THEN ITS GETTING HOLY CRAP

[@jbman890]

0:42 to 0:50 This was 0 to a quadrillion in less than the reciprocal of Graham's number. The artificials are officially my favourite band, sorry Erra :(

[@UnhallowedEssence]

i mean this band has Alan of Erra in it

[@jnperez7685]

The Artificials put their *heart* and soul in their music!

[@MegaRaymond2009]

I fell in love with "Lifespeak" I love how it combines slow melodic riffs with the badass/aggressive ones . Keep it up!, love your style and work. I would love to hear an instrumental version of the album. The lyrics and the female vocalist are awesome btw :)

[@hansolzy]

What's everyone's favorite song so far?

[@father.george679]

Hansol Lifespeak is fairly dope EDIT: I lied, pages is doper...

[@Gaos031]

Vessel, my god that intro.

[@jbman890]

Hansol VESSEL is fucking insane.

[@misfits765]

Materia Spiritus..

[@ethereal8655]

Soul Catcher, as it's title really does the work.

[@ScarrCheif68]

I just can't stop loving you guys....... I just can't .

[@TheArtificials]

It warms our hearts to hear that friend!! ❤️‍🔥 Thank you!

[@lukebailey3023]

This is wonderful! like the good ol erra days Alan's writing is phenomenal brilliant female vocalist too i will purchase my physical copy now.

[@Timmysk8er89]

Man, TragicHero just can't stop knocking it out of the park with these bands!!! Soo good

[@ryanwarburton8019]

One of the best releases this year!

[@mattlee8501]

This is the most uplifting spiritual magical and emotional and just cool a.f. masterpiece ever

[@abrazilianoutdoorsman]

you got a new fan from Brasil, keep up the good work lads

[@jbman890]

IM BAAAAAAACK, new appreciation for “in the hollow” amazing work.

[@hammerheadanimations5689]

WAIT! Is that Alan from Erra???

[@ChaoticPhantasy]

yes. and that is his girlfriend doing vocals

[@alexanderyoung8961]

ChaoticPhantasy it's his wife

[@Aequilix]

Hell yeah. An album to surpass Impulse and Augment.

[@notstarboard]

They have potential, but Impulse and Augment are in a different league. The instrumentals are solid, but neither vocalist does it for me. Having a female vocalist is definitely refreshing, but she doesn't stand out. The screams aren't good at all either, which is a big problem with this comparison. Garrison Lee was god-tier.

[@Aequilix]

notstarboard My main concern is the instrumentals. Part of why I don't like Drift as an album. The sound in the instrumentals was a pretty draftic shift from Augment.

[@TheAntarcticaProject]

Nice!

[@ggwp0816]

Please please please double your releases with an instrumental versions :)

[@CoffinZ12]

Fantastic album wasn’t expecting vocals but it was well accepted

[@corybeddington2934]

Such a beautiful and powerful album!

[@hammerheadanimations5689]

Woah im blown away only at 30 seconds!

[@Jdogdrums7]

I'm gonna be "that guy" and immediately request another album.

[@matoybotchok]

I want those guitar tones damn

[@masterhand510]

Along with Destiny Potato, both great progressive metal/metalcore bands with female vocal. These two bands are going to be BIG!

[@JensRoelant]

Incredible work, what a piece of art! Will we get to hear an instrumental version of the album? Don't get me wrong though, I love the vocals, but I'd love a more detailed listen to the instruments :)

[@FuCkCrazY1]

What a time to be alive!

[@JoshuaEpperson69]

Some titles of the songs remind me of Final Fantasy XIV (which is my favorite game). Like "Warrior Of Light" and "Stormwolf". Heart is my favorite album this year, I've been waiting to hear something like this for a while! And I really love the fact Garrison is on a track. "Tunnel Vision" hit me really hard. Cheers to such a masterpiece!

[@grimeyshred]

they both love video games and they recently did a one winged angel cover.

[@ethereal8655]

I don't usually say that, but FUCK ME ! This album is the first album I am totally enjoying while listening to those suberb Female Vocals ! What I love the most about it is the fact that female vocals cooperate in the best way possible with those screams ! You just got a new fan, waiting for more of this pure awesome job.

[@CodyDTD]

I like it, usually listen to heavier stuff but this is pretty cool. 👍🏼

[@bakkersyx]

amazing work guys !!

[@KiroKMC]

such a piece of art

[@pyth9n49]

combination with female vocals are very unique :) greetings from Slovakia

[@evilseedsgrownaturally1588]

This is *really* good. You can nitpick this and that, but c'mon -- these songs have beautiful melodies in them.

[@attilagal9]

Could someone enlighten me about what genre is this? Never before a band evoked such feelings in me and Im listening to metal since my 14th birthday. I'm 27 now. Incredible .

[@hammerheadanimations5689]

Yeah its hard to put a name to it, but in my experience the best bands usually fall into multiple categories. Best I'd say is maybe progressive metalcore and alternative rock with post-hardcore elements but some pop elements sprinkled in. All I know is that it's amazing

[@rhett5678]

Attila Gál check out surroundings, erra, and invent animate, if you're looking for similar of this style

[@christopherayres6937]

don't forget Silent Planet

[@niteguy6020]

Post-metalcore? xDD its strange but is good

[@kamikazetree2034]

probably some stupid core like progressive metal core but let's not label things

[@atamanovalex]

Alan, you are my absolute favourite musician.

[@skypunchingcow]

I love this so much! :D

[@keithseeman6985]

So much passion and soul.

[@henrydelrosario5929]

Missing the good old Erra. This time with a female vocalist. Alan is a riff machine! Greetings from the Philippines!

[@horizoniki]

Will there be instrumental version?

[@hammerheadanimations5689]

These lyrics are masterfully written, but im curious is there a theological aspect behind this? Some of the songs can definitely be seen through a theological lens but its also open-ended enough to be more metaphoric and symbolic. Loving this album so far

[@mrsriglicious7973]

Hammerhead Productions Thanks so much for asking! I tend to write lyrics pertaining to my faith in God. Every song has a deep meaning to Alan & I. Our desire is that others will find inspiration and hope from our songs.

[@hammerheadanimations5689]

I KNEW IT! The first couple of listens I didn't know most of the lyrics but heard several verses relating to faith in God but wasn't sure, but I had a feeling. I'm a huge lover of most things metal/post-hardcore/hard rock but I'm also a huge christian so whenever I find a band that incorporates their faith into their music I am immediately captivated. You guys have tremendous passion and such a beautiful combination of talent and skill. I know you guys will go far, you've already got a fan in me! Cant wait to order my copy of the album, God bless!

[@mrsriglicious7973]

Hammerhead Productions Thank you so much! We are so glad you are enjoying it. 💕

[@jbman890]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS NEVER DISAPPOINT! HOLY SHIT!

NM got it! Buying this album for sure. It's already a classic.

[@tnargttenneb2074]

Oh MY! Lifespeak....

[@macbeth642]

Amazing. Last song is my favorite

[@whybother1478]

Top notch riff writing but i feel like song structure is similar throughout the album, almost every track ends with clean guitar and ambient pad. Nevertheless sounds pretty fucking good. +10 points for nostalgia feels

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

I'm not feeling this one, but I'm glad Alan is still active. Can't let that talent go to waste.

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

Alan Rigdon I'm glad you like it. I'm not the original owner, but I had to share it. 👍🏻

[@bassmasta180]

so fuckin good. it's not a competition but this is so much better than anything Erra has put out since Alan left. Alan was the heart of Erra

[@haydenlaupland2382]

bassmasta180 I’ve realized after hearing Alan’s work by himself it was him that made that era sound we all fell in love with! Extra nowadays is still really good but they lost their melodic vibe

[@haydenlaupland2382]

Erra*

[@clarkh3314]

This is amazing, but you're 100% wrong. Especially 3 years later lol.

[@bassmasta180]

hope to own this on vinyl one day

[@randerins]

Holy fuck, so technical!

[@nickyoung6077]

omg This. This

[@formyepitaph]

the lyrics are as great as the music

[@appleipodtouch2g]

This album is incredible and needs more attention.

[@GamerSpite]

That storm wolf song though

[@macolincolncybersec]

Warrior of light is incredible

[@Aequilix]

Alan whats your favorite Gundam series and your favorite mobile suit? I'm actually into Gunpla and have a decent amount of the Real Grade figures. Some of my favorites are Astray Red, Exia(And all its evolutions like 00 Raiser and 00 Quanta), Freedom/Strike Freedom, and good ol' RX-78-2. This album cover reminded me of how you had a Gunpla figure in your room during the Augment album teaser trailer.

[@Aequilix]

Alan Rigdon You did! But honestly I double asked again on reddit because I figured my comment would be lost in a sea here or you wouldn't check up on this video. You're a human being lol. So totally get if you can't reply to everybody.

[@joshgrimm8443]

I can dig it!

[@alexrocio7627]

I hear GARRISON LEE IN SOME SONGS

[@lordbeartic1045]

Goddamnit! I was supposed to wait for my CD to come and then play this album. Look what happened. I'm here. The wait was unbearable.

[@lordbeartic1045]

Also, is it too much of a coincidence that I'm playing Dark Souls 3 now and Warrior of Light happens to be my favorite track off the album?

[@SleepingAtTheMovies]

Was this self recorded/mixed? Sounds very clean.

[@_NotEnoughMana]

What did you use for the guitar tones?

[@_NotEnoughMana]

Damn, this was all Pod farm/amp modelling??? That's awesome man, wish I could make my pod sound remotely close to this! haha

[@_NotEnoughMana]

Why didn't you just use your axe fx then?

[@benpurcell7329]

the intro is sick

[@KeithSeeman]

This is a masterpiece!

[@Beefshank61]

Is it just me or does the album cover remind anyone else of the Lich King from Warcraft III The Frozen Throne lol? Nonetheless, I'm digging what Alan has done with this project.

[@grumpyoldfartman]

Josh Gordon may have been subconscious when working the composition ;p

imagine this guys and Erra in a tour

[@martialpoet1495]

Definitely hearing a bit of the old Erra sound in this! However pardon my comparison this is good but Augment is so unique in it's way. Not hating though this i would definitely love to see this reach the glory of Augment at the peak of Erra

[@LINKchris87]

wow, great album Is this their debut?

Lifespeak is an example of this band's style done well. The rest of the songs need work. Loving the music though! Lots of potential!

[@drivenhabits7959]

Why did Alan leave Erra??

[@MattHalcyon]

Wow. Easily the best band with a female vocalist to date. I usually cringe. No wonder, it's the dude from fucking Erra behind this shit. Very well done.
