Life. It’s that crazy thing made up of connections—with people, animals, and the obligations we carry just to live comfortably. Every life has its battle. Maybe it’s a rocky marriage, a job that feels like a dead end, or that complicated relationship you face in the mirror every morning.

That mirror often reflects more than just appearance—it becomes a place of questioning. Who is that person staring back? The answer gets murkier in a world where social media warps how we relate to ourselves and each other. We all want to be the best version of ourselves, but too often we get lost in a self-made, matrix-like version of reality.

​

The truth is: we’re already wealthy. If you’re reading this, you’re alive. You’re breathing. Someone loves you. Right now, through these words, we’re connecting—and that’s the beauty of art. It bridges people from all walks of life. So give yourself credit. This moment, this breath, is real. And it’s the only reality we have.

​

Nobody is an island. While it seems harder than ever to connect with others, we can’t forget the importance of connecting with ourselves. No matter what song you’re humming or what weight is pressing on your shoulders, start by expecting the best intent in others. Forgiveness outward begins with forgiveness inward.

​

That’s the energy we’re carrying into our new single, “Delimitwhore,” dropping September 19, 2025—a track that confronts uncomfortable truths and challenges the stagnation of modern metal. It’s raw, unapologetic, and it’s meant to spark connection. And if you want to dive even deeper into these conversations, check out our podcast, Mental Moshpit, now streaming on Spotify and YouTube. It’s a space where we break down music, life, and everything in between.

“Emotions spin me while the world just looks on.”
The new single and the conversation continue.
