…drowning in an ocean of new artists also trying to get out there. It’s really difficult to say if it’s easier now or easier then. I wasn’t really around back then, I hear stories. I have this nostalgic picture of how the 70’s and 80’s was, and it was probably as gold ticketed as I imagine it to be. Dead Rhetoric: Do you have a preference for the studio work versus live performances – or are both equally exciting to you, just for unique reasons? Ca…
…of the release. Not to ignore the opener “Bury Me” though, in contrast likely the heaviest cut. It’s also the song that really digs deep into that urban decay, with some utterly murky vibes emanating from it’s quieter moments.

…who are just looking for planet b while they put this one to waste. Hopefully that gives you a sense of the underlying theme of the characters and the story. It’s broken down into chapters, of the plot that comes together to battle these forces and what happens once it all goes from earth into the galaxy, that’s when it takes on a sci-fi angle to it. You have some AI thrown in there, that’s been infiltrating people’s lives, so it’s not too hard to…
