Thank you.

[@FrostSapphire-bm2tt]

Its been 6 years guys, where the hell is Act. 2??

[@DoriansPortrait]

I vote that if a new DBZ series comes at that Volkor X should be the music maker for it!

[@Rurne]

There are so many contemporary and classic references in here, it’s disgustingly great. I knew this was going to require an Easter egg hunt the minute I saw the Gravis. Don’t get me wrong, Frieza in the freezer was good, but the Gravis tied was a foreshadow to a 16-bit work of awesome. I am only sad to be seeing this so many years after it dropped.

[@viktor7engineer]

We are very much looking forward to Act II, please

[@krux02]

This is so over the top that it is almost out of this world.

[@TrentonWade]

This album is so sick. Hypersleep then this right after

I need a 10-hour version of this... I know 10-hour versions of tend to be extremely dumb and repetitive in many cases, but this piece is genuine perfection.

[@robogod3000]

Hell Yes !!!

It just keeps getting better the more I listen to it!

[@mrbrandonbrown7072]

Thank you for this excellent work of art!

[@ExaltedRyo]

Volkor too stronk.

[@downwarecommunications]

IMO one of the best synthwave videos out there. Excellent song and pixel art! How much time did gyhyom spend to animate this? Weeks?

[@VolkorX]

Months actually!

[@downwarecommunications]

@@VolkorX Thought so. It's truly a labor of love and you can see (and hear) that. Thank's for doing this, I really enjoyed the track and the video a lot. Keep up the good work and good luck to you Sir. BR DWC

[@leonelsalazar2354]

FREAKING AMAZING! I love the mix between synthwave music and pixel art!

[@starflord]

RUMBLE !

[@basicfrogginhuman6023]

Hey Wolfy, "On The Run" is also a fantastic song :)

[@w.e.arnold6104]

[@Andra1150]

The scene with lift reminds me on Russian film "Brother-2", which is good, I guess)) And all in all the clip is awesome and tasty to watch)

[@unreal-forms]

super awesome

[@amargasaurus5337]

Beautiful song, beautiful album ♥ My studying days wouldn't be the same without it

[@ulrichwarthen]

Found this artist after a Scandroid song ended at the end of my playlist. Listened to this song in full length like 20 times today. I was hoping it had a music video. WAITING FOR ACT II I swear, I feel like the cooler music is the more underrated it is

[@Di0pap]

Such an epic song and video. Our power will be demonstrated now!!! Waiting for a new album

[@elektrooperator]

Great blend of the old and the new!

[@ivanpolanco2585]

[@BearHeadedWerewolf]

wow.... I want more.😂

[@lamphead5802]

You've literally inspired me to try pixel art. Much love from Russia!

[@VolkorX]

Gyhyom will pleased to know that!

[@Lancasthor]

This song is one of my hidden favorites of all time. Hoping to see bit more of galactic oppression in the future as well.

[@int0thedepths]

I caught Dragon Ball Z, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Bubblegum Crisis, Power Rangers, Neon Genesis Evangelion, They Live, Space Invaders, Akira, and multiple synthwave artists and channel references. Did I miss anything?

[@hobototalwar]

Gundam, Back to the Future (OutaTime car plate)

[@SiberianXP]

Cyber City Oedo 808 for the same car model

[@Rurne]

You didn’t catch the protagonist’s ship was piloted with a Gravis GamePad? They even got the button colors right. Fratelli’s Pizza? The Goonies. Think there might have been a TMNT reference in there too, but probably a reach.

Bob Lennon : "The Futuuuuuuuuure"

[@samuelronquillo7021]

The short story is just amazing!!! I loved it and the music is just delicious!!!! I felt a little sad when the hero die :( But it doesn't mean I don't like the video at all!!!! There is more about this Story?! Oh yes! I also caugth Ichiraku "Beyond" LOL

Roses are red, violets are blue; when I listen to Volkor X, the neighbors do, too.

[@chf9371]

I caught NES, Albator, Mask, Flashback, Another World, Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors, Yūfō Robo Gurendaizā (Goldorak), Back to the future.

[@MonsieurRitournelle]
