What can people discuss in this topic that isn’t weird then? We know the cover art, titles, and release versions - really don’t have a lot to go off of, but people are going to want to talk about what we have.

So, the album title apparently does refer to a depression that leads to death and, according to Shinya, is supposed to convey a feeling of the dead of night (or, more specifically, between 2 and 3 am).

But the album can also be listened to during the day, he says x)

Drumming between 2 and 3 am isn’t allowed, so I dunno if Shinya should even be describing the album (unless he finally wrote something for the bois).

The wizard on the cover reminds me of the most generic DnD or Wizardry mages, and Wiz is always about an old wizard at the end of a dungeon designed so terribly and tediously the atmosphere is known for being pure pain. That’s right, baby, Kyo is clearly trying to transport us into the dank and damp worldview of Wizardry, where you trudge for hours in a deep and dark dungeon with evil goblins and evil bunnies… Is he finally embracing the goblin inside??

All I can think of when I see “mortal downer” is “Debbie downer”.

It really evokes more something from ocultism rather than kkk for me. That man gonna cast fireball and summon demons from goetia in that cube
