I got here from a comment in an interview to the band Acid King, and I was amazed by the sound of your music. It's really some earthshaking experience... with a nice side.
Congratulations and keep up your great work.

I loved it very much. I was amazed to see someone else who digs on electronics. I am in a band too. And we use typical instruments, but a shitload of effects. Its interesting. We are Tramaj Voyix. Let me know what you think. Maybe we could do an album one day.
