thanks to @dapper-blueberries for introducing me to this gem of a band 💖

i just love the mars volta’s stuff. they just give off this powerful, sweet energy that motivates me to do great artistic things. there is also this strange element of nostalgia. although i only listened to them since last month, i feel like i’ve heard many of their songs b4.

the one that introduced me to it was “tetragrammaton”. beautiful masterpiece, albeit some parts were pretty meh. it’s 16 minutes long by the way.

my favorite album is “bedlam in goliath”, and it’s just (chef’s kiss ^_^) the energy, the chaos, and the essence. sorry i just am feeling super euphoric about this album hehe

also the story got me pretty invested in it. theres also a game based on it where yoy have to get some shit, including 7 religious based items, open up files on a computer about a man getting addicting to communicating with a spirit named goliath on his ouija board, apparently inspired by one of the members, cedric, having an addiction to the ouija board and bad luck occuring to him and his loved ones.

teh game

(warning: religious trauma)

some wild shit. i’m very intrigued with these for sum reason ^_^

also the album gave me some wild idea. like a gijinka for the album, with a typical cowboy/80s rockstar mix form, and this creepy ass vessel with ghosts surrounding them. the gijinka is connected to the spirits through some pendant, and the only way to release them is to bury the pendant. (inspired by another cursed relic story i read)

thx for reading this trash

the goliath:the soothsayer game was so wild. i finished it and it was a major experience. the best horror game i played. the aesthetic is also nostalgic to me :’) 💖
