So grateful for all of you who still listen to this song! I'm also releasing a new song "Myself & I" on April 26th, you can pre-save it here: thefatrat.ffm.to/chapter6
This song definitely portrays the feeling of marching into battle, heavily outnumbered, barely equipped, thoroughly filled with terror, but refusing to back down. And so, with adrenaline searing through our bodies, we march off to fight, and maybe die.
I literally neglected the title for the first minute and thought “This reminds me a lot of Lindsey Stirling-“ then freaked out when I realized it WAS her. So freakin’ cool.
Updated album lore/story theory summary: In Hiding in the Blue, (Chapter 1) the female protagonist with a sword is now floating above the clouds to seek shelter from the mechanical monsters and demons who tried hunting her down in the past. It is revealed that she was a soldier in the rebellion's efforts against Heaven's giant machines that invaded and ravaged her home planet of Arcadia. (The rest of the album is a flashback that starts back when Arcadia was still peaceful.) In Arcadia (Chapter 2), Laura is together with a loved one on her peaceful home planet of Arcadia. This may be the same person she was mourning the death of in Monody. This is a flashback prior to the disaster that is about to occur, ruining the planet with the arrival of an orb in… In Pride and Fear (Chapter 3), the once beautiful and prosperous planet of Arcadia suddenly is met by the arrival of the mysterious orbs. Those controlling the orbs give promises of peace and a bounty of something in exchange for something "owed" (possibly natural resources), but the promise is never kept, as they never "planted or sowed". The orbs also have the ability to instill certain emotions, like pride, fear, and greed into the people of the planet. Eventually, Arcadia becomes empty and abandoned, haunted by the souls of those who died from the demons and monsters sent by the antagonist. In Upwind (Chapter 4), a navy is formed to fight back against the orbs by those who are aware of their threat, and Cape Guy (different from Hoodie Man/Chris) is now leaving to enlist. Sword Girl is saying goodbye to him for the last time, since she is not on the deck of the ship. Also, note the definition of “Upwind”, according to Oxford Languages via Google, which is “in the opposite direction to that in which the wind is blowing; against the wind”. In the artwork, Cape Guy is literally moving in the opposite direction to the wind (as evident by the direction his cape is flapping against the clouds), or upwind. The ships are warships since they are equipped with weaponry. In Our Song (Chapter 5), Sword Girl has been waiting a long time for Cape Guy to return from war as the storm grows near, birds start to flee, and winter arrives. The trees start to “turn to stone”, like possibly in Monody and in the other instances that the Storm might have occurred, and she feels herself barely clinging on to life. The village now has advanced technology, maybe given to it by the orbs, with antennae-topped skyscrapers. In Violet Sky (Chapter 6), Sword Girl has a vision of her home with Cape Guy, so she goes back to the holy place where she lived together with Cape Guy, only to find that it has been destroyed by a mechanical demon. The air has turned the color violet, filled with electricity. In Warbringer (Chapter 7), Sword Girl, determined to fight back against the demon, finds a mechanical gorilla suit to climb into (indicated by the ladder in front of it) to use as she decides to wage war against the invaders.

@@jawweba6916 Took a listen, and i'm sorry to say, but the vocals kinda put me off a bit too much to enjoy that one. reminded me a bit too much of modern pop music and i couldnt get into it..
It really is. We had a Christmas station on at work and I started hearing a violin version of Carol of the Bells. A few seconds in I go “…is that Lindsey Stirling they’re playing??” Looked up the song later and yup, that was what I’d been hearing!
Just one word to describe this song: Perfection. TFR’s orchestral melody, Everen’s drop melody and Lindsey’s violin skills combined together? What’s better them that? An amazing song, for an amazing album with an amazing story. Nice job Chris, Everen and Lindsey for doing this song! You guys are incredible!
Out of fear We kept running Tried to hide away Can you hear War is coming Beckoning our fate This is the day that we stand up This is the day we fight We'll take our place, we won't give in Our victory's in sight Only a sword in our hand but We enter the lion's den We're not waiting for a war We bring the war to them We bring the war to them
Blood for the blood god- Technoblade I have no other choice… I CHOOSE BLOOD-Technoblade Those who treat me with kindness will se e it repayed tenfold… but those, those who use me, hunt me down, Hurt my friends! They will see that injustice relayed a thousand times over…- Technoblade
The violin contrast with heavy bass mirrors the contrast between the elegant swordswoman and the robotic wonder in front of her. Great job to all the artists/musicians!
I has been dreaming with TheFatRat and Lindsey Stirling collaborating together for many years. I'm in shock, I still can't believe it ... What a wonder, I love all of you, guys 💙💫
You know that feeling you get when you hear the song that fits perfectly with the passion project you’re working on? Yeah that’s this song for me… it’s beyond perfect
So far, the story goes like this, In Chapter 1(Hiding in the Blue), the empire of Arcadia have been overrun by a demon invasion and our Female Protagonist survived and took refuge in a sky island. She was a soldier in the legions, who fought to defend her home but ultimately lost the war. Distraught over the destruction of her home, she reminisce her past life in Arcadia and the adventures she used to have. Now, she has waited day and night for a Hero to take her home. In chapter 2(Arcadia), from the music, the title and the background, it looks like our Female Protagonist is having flashbacks of her past life with The Hero in Arcadia, her home. (But to maintain continuity with chapter 4, i think it would be safe to assume that they are also going to someplace offscreen.) In Chapter 3(Pride and Fear), our Female Protagonist narrates the history of Arcadia. Once upon a time, Arcadia was a vast and highly prosperous empire. People revered it's glorious legends, and upheld the peace. But greed, pride, and fear slowly started to grow among the people. Eventually, the peace started to fade away, as no one was left to uphold it. Later, Arcadia got invaded by demons ( perhaps to collect the wealth the empire and the people hoarded due to greed). The demons ravaged the lands and now, Arcadia has become a ruin, haunted by the souls of the people who lived here. In chapter 4(Upwind), from the title, music, and background, it is understood that The Hero and our Female Protagonist has arrived in place which looks a 'Sky-port', and is seen boarding a sky-ship. As the ship is armed with cannons, it is highly likely that they are planning to use sky-ships to take back Arcadia. From the background, it also seems that they are parting their ways, and the hero is going to someplace. In Chapter 5(Our Song), the hero has left our Female Protagonist and went to war.( the background of chapter 4 is also indicating this plot-line.) She is now holding on for the hero and is waiting while singing their song. ( the lyrics "... da da da da da..." could refer to the tune of the song they used to sing together. This also indicates that she already knew the hero before chapter 1, which was also hinted in chapter 2.) Now, the seasons have passed and winter has come. She is still holding out for him. Whenever she misses him, she wishes that the hero would wake her with a kiss.( This indicates that they have a close relationship with each other.) In Chapter 6(Violet Sky), from the lyrics and the background, it is understood that our Female Protagonist has left the place where she and The Hero had parted ways. Now, it seems that she is going back to Arcadia, her home, to join the war. The lyrics "This is getting heavy but I carry on" indicates that ,despite the odds, she is continuing her journey. The background indicates that after reaching Arcadia, she has witnessed a colossal demon. In Chapter 7(Warbringer), it is seen that our Female Protagonist is going inside a Colossal Mech, that is, a robot.( This could indicate that the demon she saw in chapter 6 is also a mech and she has noticed it.) Now, it seems that she plans to use this colossal mech in the war for Arcadia. The lyrics also point out that our Female Protagonist and her allies had suffered enough and is bringing the war to the demons. In chapter 8(Fire), from the music and the background, it is seen that there is going to be a battle between our Female Protagonist's mech, which is the robot she found in chapter 7, and the colossal demon, seen in chapter 6 ( which could also be a mech, hinted by the electric-like currents flowing through its chest). In Chapter 9( Love it when you hurt me), from the background, it is seen that an epic battle between Our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech is undergoing in the ruins of a city, which I think is Arcadia. Both the mechs look quite damaged from the battle. ( I can't quite make any accurate summary from the lyrics, but I have two theories regarding the lyrics. First one is that our Female Protagonist is thinking about her beloved, The Hero, during the battle. Second one is that the lyrics signify some connection between The Hero and the colossal demon mech she is fighting, that is, he is the one controlling the demon mech. In that case, he might be bewitched or cursed and doesn't know that he is fighting his beloved. Our Female Protagonist might be aware of this and perhaps she is also trying to free him from his curse. The second theory makes more sense, as there are two mechs, one controlled by our Female Protagonist, and the two halves of the lyrics are sung by a male and a female singer, suggesting that the second mech might be controlled by The Hero.) In Chapter 10( Let Love Win ), from the background and the lyrics, it seen that the battle between our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech has finished, with both the mechs lying heavily damaged on the ground. In the aftermath of the battle, she and The Hero is standing on top of the mechs ( which also indicates that it was him who was controlling the demon mech). Now, she is asking him not to give in to the "sad machines" and to the " TV screens" ( which indicates that there are greater antagonistic forces at play) and let their love for each other prevail (which indicates that he was indeed brainwashed) . She is still having "Fevered dreams", that is the flashbacks, and here in the ruins of Arcadia their home, she is asking him for another moment of endearment with him, no matter where it would lead them.
I like your take on it, it's pretty similar to mine, but I liked how you pointed out that perhaps the demon is also a mech of some kind... we shall see and find out! In the preview for Chapter 10, we see Cape Guy standing on top of the demon's head, and Sword Girl on top of the gorilla's head, suggesting that they both climbed out of them.
@@arbaran01 I think the demon in chapter 6 has got to be a mech because it's structure is quite similar to the gorilla-looking mech our Female Protagonist is climbing on to. So yeah, we'll get to know more about it in the upcoming chapters.
@@Arijit_Das_ it'd be an interesting twist if the man who left for war ended up getting brain-washed or mind-controlled into controlling the demon mech that destroyed their home... it would maybe explain why the album is named Parallax, which Chris (TheFatRat) said had to do with things appearing differently from viewed from another perspective.
The melody, The Beats, The Power, The Orchestral Elements. The Song which gave me a real competitor to the all time favorite Monody. Truly Underrated. It takes time to understand. Surely Deserves Fame, Real Fame.
@@cdy9858 no one cares if you think no one cares edit: @CDY edited his comment to make me look like an idiot. His original comment was "no one cares", but now he changed it to "Facts"
In shadows deep, where darkness shrouds the land, Retribution rises, a powerful hand. It is our strength, a fire burning bright, In the depths of the endless night. Let fury guide your weapons, fierce and bold, In battles fierce, as tales of old. Let vengeance be your song, a haunting cry, As we march forth, beneath the crimson sky. We are the angels of death, silent and swift, In the face of danger, our resolve will lift. And our enemies shall fall, before our might, In the name of justice, we shall fight. With hearts unyielding, and courage deep, We'll march as one, our promises to keep. Retribution's call, like thunder's call, In our united strength, we shall conquer all.
I couldn't have been more hyped about this song especially considering the people involved and it still exceeded expectations. Stronger by TFR + Roundtable Rival by Lindsey + Enchanted by Everen Maxwell = This masterpiece
God I love Lindsey.. She is the onlyone that can use a Violin in EVERY music genere.. Very impressive as a Chapter 7. I'm exited for every chapet I'm just listening them everyday and everytime
That was CRISP. Drumline, bassline, signal to noise was fantastic, even after the YT compression. Seriously some of the absolute **cleanest** audio I've heard in a long time. My neighbors and I will be listening to this one on the BIG system later...
This is the most powerful one he ever made, like this is actually a powerful orchestra creation as if it was done in a big stadium or whatever it’s called or something lol Edit also the lyrics were very strong and powerful and dark in a way, but luckily the people who were singing it are of course on the good side Edit thanks so much for all the likes I’ve never had this many 0o0
@@lorzkotzros yeah lol it would actually be good if this was the villains side since its so powerful, but its also good that these are in the allegiance of the arcadium (i think)
OK so here's what I've got so far in terms of the story. Two main characters: a guy and a girl who live happily in Arcadia as we see them in the Arcadia music video. But when the 'demons' attack, the guy joins the army to go to war and defend their home as we hear about in Our Song. But Arcadia's forces are overwhelmed, and the monsters unleash an all-out attack on the city (we don't know at this point whether the guy survived or not). Although Arcadia is destroyed as we see in Violet Sky, the girl escapes to the island we see in Hiding in the Blue. Now however, we see in Warbringer the girl has a weapon of her own, some sort of mech that she can pilot. I expect she is going to use this to wage a second war on the creatures that destroyed her home to get revenge, and this will most likely be explored in Chapter 8, 'Fire'. If I've missed anything important pls let me know in the replies :) I think this is a really great story so far and I could see this as a novel/book series (or imagine this on the big screen...)
I've never had an album before in which I adored every single piece, every chapter carries such a uniquely harmonic and elegant vibe, this is more addictive than drugs.
Damn I haven't listened to Lindsey Stirling's music in a while actually, but I've always loved it, probably should again. And the mix with the Bass is awesome! I also really liked the sung part, kind of expected a female voice again but this was way awesome!!!
Have been listening each and every song from this chapter and while they are mesmerizing. This one just really makes me feel like I am into some actual war! Amazing Song ❤️😍
Straight up musical magic, dimensional, foot stomping fun. So happy I am alive in this time to get to enjoy this. Especially with Lyndsey S. she throws it down with a violin and Mr Fat Rat The Great ! Thank you.
This whole Series is a masterpiece, Ive been listing to your music sense Middle school and man ur music is just fricken amazing. U are a true master of the arts!
Holy crap idk why but i got legit chills at around 2:33 i mean that part was so well spoken omg Aaaah i am so glad this came out!! A collab between 2 of my most favorite artists: TheFatRat and Lindsey Stirling i'm so happy!! ^-^
Definitely my second favourite song out of them all. Hiding in the Blue is still my favourite but DAMN, this is such a close second and I mean really close.
So grateful for all of you who still listen to this song!

So far, the story goes like this,
In Chapter 1(Hiding in the Blue), the empire of Arcadia have been overrun by a demon invasion and our Female Protagonist survived and took refuge in a sky island. She was a soldier in the legions, who fought to defend her home but ultimately lost the war. Distraught over the destruction of her home, she reminisce her past life in Arcadia and the adventures she used to have. Now, she has waited day and night for a Hero to take her home.
In chapter 2(Arcadia), from the music, the title and the background, it looks like our Female Protagonist is having flashbacks of her past life with The Hero in Arcadia, her home. (But to maintain continuity with chapter 4, i think it would be safe to assume that they are also going to someplace offscreen.)
In Chapter 3(Pride and Fear), our Female Protagonist narrates the history of Arcadia. Once upon a time, Arcadia was a vast and highly prosperous empire. People revered it's glorious legends, and upheld the peace. But greed, pride, and fear slowly started to grow among the people. Eventually, the peace started to fade away, as no one was left to uphold it. Later, Arcadia got invaded by demons ( perhaps to collect the wealth the empire and the people hoarded due to greed). The demons ravaged the lands and now, Arcadia has become a ruin, haunted by the souls of the people who lived here.
In chapter 4(Upwind), from the title, music, and background, it is understood that The Hero and our Female Protagonist has arrived in place which looks a 'Sky-port', and is seen boarding a sky-ship. As the ship is armed with cannons, it is highly likely that they are planning to use sky-ships to take back Arcadia. From the background, it also seems that they are parting their ways, and the hero is going to someplace.
In Chapter 5(Our Song), the hero has left our Female Protagonist and went to war.( the background of chapter 4 is also indicating this plot-line.) She is now holding on for the hero and is waiting while singing their song. ( the lyrics "... da da da da da..." could refer to the tune of the song they used to sing together. This also indicates that she already knew the hero before chapter 1, which was also hinted in chapter 2.) Now, the seasons have passed and winter has come. She is still holding out for him. Whenever she misses him, she wishes that the hero would wake her with a kiss.( This indicates that they have a close relationship with each other.)
In Chapter 6(Violet Sky), from the lyrics and the background, it is understood that our Female Protagonist has left the place where she and The Hero had parted ways. Now, it seems that she is going back to Arcadia, her home, to join the war. The lyrics "This is getting heavy but I carry on" indicates that ,despite the odds, she is continuing her journey. The background indicates that after reaching Arcadia, she has witnessed a colossal demon.
In Chapter 7(Warbringer), it is seen that our Female Protagonist is going inside a Colossal Mech, that is, a robot.( This could indicate that the demon she saw in chapter 6 is also a mech and she has noticed it.) Now, it seems that she plans to use this colossal mech in the war for Arcadia. The lyrics also point out that our Female Protagonist and her allies had suffered enough and is bringing the war to the demons.
In chapter 8(Fire), from the music and the background, it is seen that there is going to be a battle between our Female Protagonist's mech, which is the robot she found in chapter 7, and the colossal demon, seen in chapter 6 ( which could also be a mech, hinted by the electric-like currents flowing through its chest).
In Chapter 9( Love it when you hurt me), from the background, it is seen that an epic battle between Our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech is undergoing in the ruins of a city, which I think is Arcadia. Both the mechs look quite damaged from the battle.
( I can't quite make any accurate summary from the lyrics, but I have two theories regarding the lyrics.
First one is that our Female Protagonist is thinking about her beloved, The Hero, during the battle.
Second one is that the lyrics signify some connection between The Hero and the colossal demon mech she is fighting, that is, he is the one controlling the demon mech. In that case, he might be bewitched or cursed and doesn't know that he is fighting his beloved. Our Female Protagonist might be aware of this and perhaps she is also trying to free him from his curse.
The second theory makes more sense, as there are two mechs, one controlled by our Female Protagonist, and the two halves of the lyrics are sung by a male and a female singer, suggesting that the second mech might be controlled by The Hero.)
In Chapter 10( Let Love Win ), from the background and the lyrics, it seen that the battle between our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech has finished, with both the mechs lying heavily damaged on the ground. In the aftermath of the battle, she and The Hero is standing on top of the mechs ( which also indicates that it was him who was controlling the demon mech). Now, she is asking him not to give in to the "sad machines" and to the " TV screens" ( which indicates that there are greater antagonistic forces at play) and let their love for each other prevail (which indicates that he was indeed brainwashed) . She is still having "Fevered dreams", that is the flashbacks, and here in the ruins of Arcadia their home, she is asking him for another moment of endearment with him, no matter where it would lead them.
Thank u for this amazing summary I loved reading it! I hope u will continue.😌
Waiting for your comment.
I like your take on it, it's pretty similar to mine, but I liked how you pointed out that perhaps the demon is also a mech of some kind... we shall see and find out! In the preview for Chapter 10, we see Cape Guy standing on top of the demon's head, and Sword Girl on top of the gorilla's head, suggesting that they both climbed out of them.
@@arbaran01 I think the demon in chapter 6 has got to be a mech because it's structure is quite similar to the gorilla-looking mech our Female Protagonist is climbing on to. So yeah, we'll get to know more about it in the upcoming chapters.
@@Arijit_Das_ it'd be an interesting twist if the man who left for war ended up getting brain-washed or mind-controlled into controlling the demon mech that destroyed their home... it would maybe explain why the album is named Parallax, which Chris (TheFatRat) said had to do with things appearing differently from viewed from another perspective.
“We’re not waiting for a war, we bring the war to them…”
That line gives me goosebumps
Same
right? im hypeeed
reminds me of finn from star wars
Leaving this comment so when someone likes it I can be reminded of this masterpiece
The melody, The Beats, The Power, The Orchestral Elements. The Song which gave me a real competitor to the all time favorite Monody. Truly Underrated. It takes time to understand. Surely Deserves Fame, Real Fame.
TheFatRat is honestly so underrated like holy crap all this hard work and dedication for barely a million views this man deserves more 👏
Facts
@@cdy9858 no one cares if you think no one cares
edit: @CDY edited his comment to make me look like an idiot. His original comment was "no one cares", but now he changed it to "Facts"
Is he? I mean like everyone has heard the song atleast once. Most know his names and everyone likes his music. But he deffinitly deserves all that.
^^^^^^ 100%not a rickroll no scam no lie
No he's not. He + million subs and gets a lot of views on his videos.
I am in love 💙
Yeah its gud
yes
WE are in love
Same
In shadows deep, where darkness shrouds the land, Retribution rises, a powerful hand. It is our strength, a fire burning bright, In the depths of the endless night.
Let fury guide your weapons, fierce and bold, In battles fierce, as tales of old. Let vengeance be your song, a haunting cry, As we march forth, beneath the crimson sky.
We are the angels of death, silent and swift, In the face of danger, our resolve will lift. And our enemies shall fall, before our might, In the name of justice, we shall fight. With hearts unyielding, and courage deep, We'll march as one, our promises to keep. Retribution's call, like thunder's call, In our united strength, we shall conquer all.
My favorite song from the album. The emotions, the feelings, this determination of the war coming
When the beat enters like a boss.
The crowd: *Faints*
This is fire keep doing what your doing
Fantastic song I really really love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you play this song at exactly 11:57:03, the drop hits right at midnight.
Wrong song bud.
1:28 -Stronger.
I couldn't have been more hyped about this song especially considering the people involved and it still exceeded expectations.
Stronger by TFR + Roundtable Rival by Lindsey + Enchanted by Everen Maxwell = This masterpiece
Warbringer is finally out! So glad I got to work with Everen and Lindsey on this track. Listen to it here: lnk.to/tfrwarbringeryt
Huge fan of your music!

EPIC MUSIC

These 3:39 minutes are one of the best in my life👍🏻. This song is so good!

This started playing and I was like “That’s giving me Lindsey Stirling vibes..” and I had to check. This song is absolutely amazing
This song literally feels like Stronger, but even better

Woahhhhh it’s AViVA!!
1: I'm a big fan of you, 2: this song is so good
collab with thefatrat?
@@eatrocks6704 OOOOO HELL YEA

That was CRISP. Drumline, bassline, signal to noise was fantastic, even after the YT compression.
Seriously some of the absolute **cleanest** audio I've heard in a long time. My neighbors and I will be listening to this one on the BIG system later...
I hope you enjoy this 🚀

After almost 3 years and Lindsey Stirling and thefatrat are a badass combo
This is the most powerful one he ever made, like this is actually a powerful orchestra creation as if it was done in a big stadium or whatever it’s called or something lol
Edit also the lyrics were very strong and powerful and dark in a way, but luckily the people who were singing it are of course on the good side
Edit thanks so much for all the likes I’ve never had this many 0o0
This is my favourite; It feels so electrically powerful with orchestra + ultra lyrics!
Try to listen his "Stronger", it sounds like this and much more powerful than this. Just my opinion.
I still don't think Monody can be topped
Of course on the good side 😂
@@lorzkotzros yeah lol it would actually be good if this was the villains side since its so powerful, but its also good that these are in the allegiance of the arcadium (i think)
OK so here's what I've got so far in terms of the story. Two main characters: a guy and a girl who live happily in Arcadia as we see them in the Arcadia music video. But when the 'demons' attack, the guy joins the army to go to war and defend their home as we hear about in Our Song. But Arcadia's forces are overwhelmed, and the monsters unleash an all-out attack on the city (we don't know at this point whether the guy survived or not). Although Arcadia is destroyed as we see in Violet Sky, the girl escapes to the island we see in Hiding in the Blue. Now however, we see in Warbringer the girl has a weapon of her own, some sort of mech that she can pilot. I expect she is going to use this to wage a second war on the creatures that destroyed her home to get revenge, and this will most likely be explored in Chapter 8, 'Fire'. If I've missed anything important pls let me know in the replies :)
I think this is a really great story so far and I could see this as a novel/book series (or imagine this on the big screen...)
A movie? Yo that would actually be kinda sick not gonna lie
"We're not waiting for a war. We bring the war to them."
it would be a really good book or movie. Also nice job with the story!
He got the next song name right!
ye she pilots the mech and fights something else
I love this! The orchestral elements are perfect
This is definitely my favourite song from you. Absolutely fantastic.
You can't get your money's worth TheFatRat. An artist who makes such beautiful songs should have at least 40 million followers but... ;)

One of my favourite songs. The music conveys the story so vividly I can see it

One of the best pieces I have ever heard. Great job!
“Those who love to write, become authors. Those that don’t love to write, make music”
TheFatRat: Ummm…no
Yeah he makes music and write these amazing looking pictures
well it's someone else who creates the pictures if you mean the background, but yeah he has amazing music AND amazing lyrics
I literally had chills when he said , We bring the war to them
same
You can say that again
Bruh same

Lol two years passedhello
"We bring the war to them"
This is one of the most badass lyrics line I've ever heard of.
I used to love these guys back in middle school so seeing them all together like this is epic af
i usually don’t like this type of music (like without any lyrics) but this is surely my exception, ITS SO NICE AND COOL
Me too
VERY Good!
طيب و بعدين

Está canción me gusta mucho
I like this song very much
That bass part though shakes my soul whenever i listen to it
This is by far the best song I've ever heard I love how the artists does different styles of music absolutely amazing! 100%
Can we all appreciate, that this wonderful music can be used freely in videos .
I've never had an album before in which I adored every single piece, every chapter carries such a uniquely harmonic and elegant vibe, this is more addictive than drugs.
It feels like a story of a hero and a female protagonist fighting demons who attacked them
this has that final battle in an anime vibe
I use to listen to TFR all the time earlier last decade and I’m so glad I remembered him and came back to see him still pumping out amazing creations
I love this song and the series. I cant wait to see what you make next!!!

Damn I haven't listened to Lindsey Stirling's music in a while actually, but I've always loved it, probably should again. And the mix with the Bass is awesome! I also really liked the sung part, kind of expected a female voice again but this was way awesome!!!
One of her newer sings, "Guardian" is a personal favorite of mine. Its just so good.
Yes you should! Artemis is an amazing album. I just saw her in concert. Best concert I've ever been to.
Nothing is more pleasent to see your favourite artists collaborating to create a masterpiece
We listen to this before every Dungeons and Dragon session lol. Nice work all! You killed it!
No way you got Lindsey Stirling! This is awesome! This and Hiding in the Blue are my favorites of this little series you’ve composed.
Yeah, Lindsey is so cool!
Fantastic.

Epic! Speechless. You told us this week will be "harder" - but this is truly epic! And you brought Lindsey 🤯🤯🤯
This is the description of perfection
This whole album filled me with such emotion. It's truly fuckin incredible. This song just...damn you feel it in a visceral level
Straight up musical magic, dimensional, foot stomping fun. So happy I am alive in this time to get to enjoy this. Especially with Lyndsey S. she throws it down with a violin and Mr Fat Rat The Great ! Thank you.
This whole Series is a masterpiece, Ive been listing to your music sense Middle school and man ur music is just fricken amazing. U are a true master of the arts!
Perfection

There are elements of each and every single one of y'all's music styles in this masterpiece, and I am 100% here for it.
This album is incredible so far. Such a wide variety of genres and all of them hit the mark. Great Job 👍
