Ooooohhhhhh see that makes much more sense. Cause the narrative I invented inside my head relied on him finding the hacker Automater at that black market then building a virus and using it to wipe out their internet because they relied on their technology to control people.

Edit: And it feels more like it's supposed to parallel Del in 2000 like it's him projecting a sci-fi narrative on what he was doing then. In the year 2000 Del was preaching the truth and battle rapping all these people but at the end of the day no matter how much he enlightens people on our crooked system, people seem to forget because it's easier just to go on with our lives so it seems almost pointless. While in 3030 instead of battle rapping Deltron is fighting robots and **** and after this great victory they wipe his memory and it doesn't seem to matter because everybody goes right back to the way it was. Almost like it's saying that the cycle never ends even in 3030 that's why the guy says "we were always coming back" at the beginning and end of the album.

Moonlover - Ghost Bath (2015)

When I was sent this album I made a point of not checking anything about the band: I'd never heard of them, so they could have been a hip-hop, punk, jazz or noisecore outfit for all I knew. I didn't want to know. I put on the album and heard nice reflective acoustic music and was, somewhat, surprised. Then the heavy guitars and vocals kicked in, and I decided to check. Black metal/Blackgaze, said Wiki. As I listened to the album, all I could think of was how ****ing amazing this was. I had never heard the genre before (Blackgaze, that is; a kind of synthesis of the best elements of black metal, shoegaze and post rock) but I instantly loved it. Well, I loved this album.

There's little point really in defining actual individual tracks, as this kind of plays, and is I think best appreciated and approached as a sort of dark symphony of several movements (seven, plus one extra bonus track which I was glad to listen to). If I had to describe it, I would say it's like the dark soundtrack to a slow mental breakdown, but somehow in a good way? It's powerful, at times savage, often soft and gentle, with wounded, screaming roars that so little qualify as vocals that you can literally take them as another instrument, and appreciate them very much on that level.

There was nothing I didn't love on this album. Reminded me in ways of some pagan metal I've heard, with elements of the likes of Panopticon, Wolves in the Throne Room and maybe Tyr about it. Music that not only grabs you by the heart but squeezes your soul while it's kicking you in the balls. And you just want more.

I've already downloaded their small discography, and Wiki tells me that if I like this I should like Deafhaven? If so, that's where I'm off to next. Thanks to whoever suggested this one: one of the best I've heard this year, and it's not even from this year! Clear 10/10, and I'd give it more if I could. If I were reviewing this in my thread, the speedometer would go right off the chart. Amazing. Just amazing.

Thanks, and sorry for the delay in getting to it, but well worth the wait.
