Message to the band "VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY"........I'm a musician from Australia. Heard your music for the first time the other day. Have absorbed so much of it in such a short time. Your music is brilliant, the blended instruments traditional and new, the ability to be a big band and reduced to a small band of 3, maintaining the essence of your music true!. YOU GUYS ROCK! AND THIS ALBUM IS EPIC AND HAS STRONG FOUNDATIONS TO TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, YOUR LYRICS ARE INSIGHTFUL, INSPIRING, AND ENLIGHTENING. THANK YOU 🙏👍👍👍

I happened to be listening to this and Masayoshi Takanaka's prog stuff for a year or two. Combine that with Jojo fans usually being Jrock fans that get exposed to prog by looking up the names Araki uses and you get a bridge between experimental Japanese music and the stoner side of rock.

I'm going through some serious changes in my life, at 39 years old. After using drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years, my life was in ruins. I found myself homeless, and in and out of hospitals due to underlying and quite serious health issues. This album got me through the darkest of those days. I'd listen to it every chance I got. Now that I'm in recovery, I can listen to it again! I've been sober for 51 days today. Sitting here jamming out, and enjoying being me. Truly incredible. It's amazing how much music has helped me on this incredibly tough, challenging, and brutal journey. I'm not always happy that I'm sober today, but I know it's the best choice I've ever made. I'm finally finding out what makes me tick. Thank you for making this incredible music. I cannot do anything to possibly repay you. Just know that there's someone out there who loves what you do, and making this album was worth it.

Yeah Hema is kind of expensive when you start buying the kit... especially if you train lots of different weapons (i've recently placed a £400 kit order, and that only scratches the surface. A steel longsword alone will be upwards of £250). It's super fun though. I do home gym, but would deffo recommend some form of weights/calisthenics workouts (not that I'm a big guy, but I try :) Outside gym is a better bet if you're looking to be around people more, so deffo sign up to one! Tbh, any martial arts is gonna improve confidence and bring you out of your shell, so Judo sounds great, or any of the standard "mma" styles. Also worth using youtube videos of the appropriate subject to help get yourself motivated and into the groove. For example Academy of Historical Fencing is a local club near me here in South West England that has a great youtube channel. I find fitness youtubers are very good for motivation - just use them to indoctrinate yourself :) I also listen to this album sometimes while I work out, as well as other stuff obv.

You ever yearn to find something cool ? Like fossil hunting and finding an intact sharks tooth, or metal detecting and scoring a late 1800's Morgan. Something cool you will treasure for life. That's how I feel now. 50% of Mt musical time is taken up by hardcore punk that I've listened to since I was a kid in the 80's, the other 50% is usually spent on Death Metal or Slam. I've never heard or seen this band until today, honestly I would likely pass this just because the name of the band doesn't sound interesting to me, maybe that's not the right word . It made me keep looking at the thumbnail wondering where or what Ioannina city was and whats up with their villagers... so a few seconds later I clicked it to find out and within a minute I was glad I did! I'm getting (sort of) an prog Opeth meets Alice in Chains vibe, kinda... at any rate, if you read this far, apologies for being long winded!

Who would have thought that echo and reverb on a good voice can do such wonders? OFc it's not only that but that is really about 50% of the whole magic, more people should realize how important echo and reverb are for vocals.

The blues pentatonic scale, meeting with the pentatonic rhythms of ancient greek music of Epirus. Ancient greek Askavlos, and Balkan Clarinet, interchanging and overlapping high output humbuckers from a Les Paul. Mighty basslines accompany snare drums, ride and crush cymbals, in a rhythmic wave. All of these with the most fitting stoner vocals. Very good production. Wonderful songwriting. This will be a classic album for this generation, and the ones to come in the future. Great stuff!!!

Man Greece sure has the US beat with rock music right now for sure. This album sounds like one of those absolute classics from the more intelligent forward thinking "Indie" rock bands right around year 2000 or so. Like the album you throw on with a few chill friends over and just let play and enjoy. Good stuff gentleman. Perfect mix of energy, mood, emotion, awesome production while still being raw! And has that timeless sound to it. Bravo. And this is from a 42 Yr rock musician birthed in the heyday of seattle rock and still here and still hopefully bands like this will keep things going.

When I recorded the record the world changed in front of my eyes. The plants grew back to life and time and reality shifted. It was an amazing experience and some of it, people in the comments suggest they enjoyed some of the experience. There was just myself at the lighthouse when I recorded the music originally. But the first guy to hear the records got a band together and learned the songs. I have experienced a live show once and reality changed and I faded in and out of exsistance while watching them perform on a stage in Oregon. The video for the live performance of Through Space and Time is an experience to remember. I was at one of their live performances of Through Space and Time. This band and music has a way of transcending Space and Time. It was originally performed in the cosmic concert that crossed the cosmos while it was being peformed and the cosmos ensures th cosmis experience is still enjoyed to this day
