Thank you man! Comments like that mean the world to us because that's exactly what we were going for: an electronic based album that feels alive and full of emotion. Our band started off making mostly guitar oriented stuff and a lot of the songs on Deus Eidola were actually originally written on guitar or piano, but at the time I was sick of the standard band setup and rather than recording them the normal way I decided to try something completely different. We had dabbled in electronica before but this was our first time doing an entire album like that, and we spent a lot of time in the production phase adding layers and trying to make it dynamic and interesting throughout. Lots more stuff in the works and we should be releasing two albums this year. I will keep this thread updated for sure.
And yeah, Xenosaga is where I first heard the term metempsychosis
Originally it was just a cool word and interesting concept to me, and we talked about changing our band name a couple times because it's not exactly easy for other people to spell or remember, but I think as time went on it became more and more appropriate of a name for our band since we change our sound and lineup so much.
I realize now that I've written a bit of a novel but what you said resonated with me so I wanted to share. And thanks so much for your donation by the way!
