ReProgram by Lance King
>>Fed up with being bombarded with negative shit from all angles of our culture? #ReProgram might just be your little slice of metal heaven! <<
"ReProgram" is what you get when you blend Progressive Metal with real-life dramas, disappointments, and hope rising like a phoenix from the ashes. Lance's brand of sonic bliss breathes futuristic themes, philosophy, and sci-fi into an intoxicating blend of "Celestial Metal" that leaves the listener feeling uplifted even in the darkness! A shot of pure, authentic honesty, a middle finger raised high at societal norms and android like humanity that simply follow those before them... because you can't find your own authenticity in someone else's constructs.
“The single most powerful thing you can do is unlearn the limiting beliefs you have accepted as truths in your youth. This frees you from the chains that bind, the chains of the subconscious mind.” -- Lance King
