I wish I could reply to each and everyone of you, but the amount of positive feedback I'm getting from everywhere is too massive! Thank you all for your incredible support!

[@Calvinl08]

you deserve it man, this song is absolutely amazing.

[@immatheloser2401]

As long as I remember to get back here every month to look for releases, I will always support you man!

[@OutlawLotus]

The almighty algorithm has brought me here to this serotonin-filled place for my ears! This is one heck of a jam! I get such a great “cruising through space” vibe from this!

[@VolkorX]

[@The_Void_]

Youre music is so amazing, ty.

[@rukanmert7793]

You have no idea what you've done to my life man. Your music was there for so long when i was in a bad place. I love your work so much and this one was no exception. Hope you continue to amaze us forever.

[@VolkorX]

You have no idea what you guys have done to mine!

[@signbusa]

Yes! his music lifted me up and motivated me too!

​@@VolkorX such a wholesome comment 😊 Glad you're living the dream!

We must resist, do not fall for evil plans of Volkor X!

How?

That Fuck You was personal. Incredible song

[@singularmusing970]

The dialogue is so heartbreaking. A beautiful pairing to the other |voices|

[@sirg1764]

sorry the music is great but the dialog is cringe af.

[@imaschnabeltier2184]

Such a great time for a new Volkor X song! Summer, midnight, open windows, view of the stars...is it a spaceship that i see? 🛸

[@mquant001]

What a genius you are my friend. Your art touches my soul very deeply and elevates its vibrational frequency to supra levels. God bless you.

[@Seth_Rogen_Josh]

Volkor X is wholly unique, no one else makes music with this building intensity and sense of place that drives so damn hard!

[@solidcoppr]

Turning feeling into sound flawlessly

[@NicMG]

I am a believer now, all hail, Volkor X !

[@VegasGlaive]

Thank you for all of the unique, mesmerizing and captivating content you create and put out for us to jam to. You truly are a gifted person/persons and I am glad that we have artists like yourself to give us ear candy like this! Thanks again!

[@Kadet1]

I would never ever want to live in a world where Volkor X does not exist.

[@BAWBBAGET]

What a sick monologue to top it off. BRAVO

[@randybobandy4716]

This is pure Volkor X and there is nothing else like it. Sublime.

[@SabElvenia]

THIS is pure wonder ! So moving & powerful...🖤✨ And the voice and lyrics are a super bonus to the emotional dimension of this amazing Masterpiece of a music...✨✨✨ Hail Volkor X 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@rickblasing1237]

Cannot wait for the new album. Adrift is fire!

[@IndrasChildDeepAsleep]

Found this song through the Sunset Bar in VRChat, happy I did

[@Bigreddwarf]

I love it... it is SO amazing. The epic music plus the dialogue brings tears to my eyes.

[@GoldenAura32]

From 4:45 onwards the electric ramp up in the background reminds me HEAVILY of the Stellaris Apocalypse trailer where a mother is leaving a message for her child as she's about to take off to defend the planet against hopeless odds. It carries that same heavy, deep emotional hit and I feel that given the theme on one of the later tracks this may have been a small inspiration for this great work.

[@VolkorX]

I've never played Stellaris nor have I heard its soundtrack, but a lot oyf people are referring to this game when commenting on my music. Maybe I should give it a listen!!

[@Calvinl08]

So stoked to hear this song in Full, and so excited to hear your new album

[@SirEstobal]

new album?! 😃

[@Calvinl08]

@@SirEstobal this single is apart of a new album coming out in October.

[@Stickers2Go]

October 20th is almost here guys!!!

[@thatguitarguy99]

So hype to hear new stuff. I now associate "This is our Planet Now" with a time period of my life

[@immatheloser2401]

This is going to be on repeat for days in the same way the others were, keep up the good work man! It's always a pleasure to check your new tracks, love from Brazil ❤️🇧🇷🤝

[@Bigjonmetal]

Awesome! Man that drop at around 5 minutes is otherworldly

[@SirianXM]

This song changed my perspective of life - how it is to be a being. What I hear and know in your music is... purest vibrations, harmonized with the purest of frequencies 🙏💙

[@VolkorX]

Thank you! Means a lot!

[@SirianXM]

@@VolkorX our gratitude can't be measured in words for the gift of your music. Thank you for sharing your resonance, it brings us together, one moment, one beat, one harmony at a time 🙏

"I am her empty corpse." Powerful man.. powerful.

Beautiful Volkor X.Absolutely beautiful! Will be ordering on Bandcamp

If you were adrift, in infinite oblivion... What would you do? Where would you go?

[@victmartins10]

Never stop doing that, it's simply ART. It's simply marvelous.

[@StephenLella]

There's something in this song that speaks to my very soul. I'm listening to my "Discover Weekly" playlist on Spotify, and this tune popped up. The previous songs kind of went unheard, and then this tune's initial grove perked my ears up. As the song started to grow and expand, I liked it more. The sounds themselves were uplifting in an odd way, and I've been feeling a bit down lately, so I liked it. Then the monologue started and it felt familiar, and raw, and REAL. I haven't a clue how or why, but I related to that monologue so much. Then after the monologue ends, the song hit harder and more emotionally, more powerfully. It was beautiful. I hope I can figure out what about this song speaks to me so loudly. It will be a very fun, very fulfilling search. Unbelievably good song, this is absolutely fantastic stuff. Thank you very much for sharing your art with us

[@VolkorX]

I often tell people who have an interest in what I'm doing that I'm trying to touch the listener's soul. I guess my job here is done! And the monologue written by Ben Dadds certainly helped! Thank you for your comment!

[@bontrager29]

Спасибо!

[@VolkorX]

Thank you for the support!!

[@Dominic_OSullivan]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@spaceshoot9879]

Quasiment huit minutes qu’on ne sent pas passer, embarqué dès le premier break batterie, qui au passage a un put.. de son Huge!! Le passage parlé en plein milieu donne un côté SF supplémentaire à la sauce Volkor. Super évolution musicale toujours autant pleine d’émotions diverses et variés. Merci Overlord de nous toucher autant au travers de vos morceaux ! ❤

Thy art is touching in so many epic and wondrous ways. You truly deserve way more recognition. Thank you for keeping providing us with more needed mind fuel with each of your releases.

[@incognitech3593]

Ok i thought the vocals was a little intrusive at first listen and distracted me a little from the experience, how wrong i was. After many listens got engaged by this lady and her IA journey, and this powerful speech, can't live without now.

You are magic, man

[@SirianXM]

Every time I listen to this song, I experience a new resonance that raises my vibration higher & higher, every time. 🙏💙

[@neo692]

Titanesque banger, zero flops à ton actif ça change pas

[@DimiKaye]

The legend returns with an epic track. Post-synthwave (combining post rock and synthwave), that says it all. Just press play and get lost for 7+ minutes. EPIC! EDIT: Edited to clear any misunderstandings.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

"Post-Synthwave"? As fantastic and as lost as I can get within this track (your right by the way on that), Synthwave is no where near dead good sir. As a fellow Synthian, we hope for it not to die as this style of music far outshines the mainstream garbage that is out today.

[@DimiKaye]

@@kevynhansyn2902 Buddy you totally misunderstood me. I never said synthwave was dead. Instead, I am one of those that LOVE and still make traditional synthwave. Post-synthwave here means that this track by Volkor X has elements of Post Rock (which is a specific style, check bands like God is an Austronaut or Explosions in the Sky to hear how it sounds) and combines them with his specific synthwave style. I understand how you could reach that misunderstanding and that is my fault because the way I wrote the comment. But trust me, we are pretty much in the same team (just check the music I release and you'll see it's true). Whoever says synthwave is dead does it only to get negative attention. Synthwave is alive, well, and we can see that because people still want to make music in it and listen. I hope that clears the misunderstanding mate, take care.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

@@DimiKaye I am going to go along the lines to say that I didn't see who I was responding to at the time of the post. I follow you as well Lord Dimi, so your comment made more sense thou just a bit less confusing at the time. It's good to know that one awesome artist is supporting another awesome artist.

[@DimiKaye]

@@kevynhansyn2902 I'm glad all is well and solved that misunderstanding buddy. When I read my first comment after I saw your reply I totally understood how this happened and again I'm sorry for that. To me synthwave is my favourite genre together with heavy metal, I love it so much that I release music since 2015 and I love discovering new artists who want to try their hand in it. That's why I wanted to clear things and thank you for speaking passionately about the genre we all love. Volkor X specifically is my brother from another planet, he was the first artist who asked me for a collaboration, I met him in real life (he let me board his spaceship :D ) and of course I will support him, because of his amazing music and because he's an amazing Overlord :D :D Thank you for your words buddy, take care and keep supporting synthwave (I know you will and you'll do it with passion!)

[@FacundoTupac]

A new day with a new Volkor X song is a good day.

[@misanthropizza]

Awfully humble for a godlike being who doesn't come in peace 🖤

[@pashangaudio]

Well...I made it. Entire discog jammed and stayed awake for the premiere at 7 AM my time. This better be a 15-minute-er :D :D :D Much love, Overlord! So excited for this one

Great track! Volkor X continues to create the best combination of synth and metal. Excellent work and I look forward to the full album in October!

[@sarahszabo4323]

I'm always hyped for every Volkor X release. This is amazing!

[@ClownXmachina]

MY MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy a 7:47 minute track isn't too "long" lol, I also produce long tracks and I get the "it's too long" argument...ffs THIS HITS NICELY !!!!!!!!

[@VolkorX]

Don't worry too much about that. In the TikTok generation, most people will find a 3 minutes song too long :) Luckily, there are still people who can enjoy long songs!

[@oldmanmort]

I've discovered your work with Enclave and it's unique in its kind. And with every album comes an evolution to your style. I can't wait to hear the whole album. It sounds lighter and I'm eager for the release. Keep up it up and never come in peace.

[@MrGeekGamer]

I wasn't enjoying it at first, but man it really gets good!

[@Macrouph]

Très bonne première partie... Immédiatement ça m'a évoqué les bonnes sensations d'écoute de "Racked animal" d'Eric Serra, dans la BO du flim Subway.

[@PotatoBadBoy]

Cette mélancolie particulière que je trouve chez très peu d'artistes... Merci Volkor X pour tes oeuvres !
