"Our resistances and preconceptions certainly didn't last long in the face of Volkor X's remarkable and captivating work, this mysterious galactic lord determined to conquer our planet and our earphones." 8.5 - New Noise (Q1 2024)
"Post (rock, metal) truly suits Volkor X, the author of a gem of creativity and intensity, a sort of space odyssey in 2023, to be enjoyed by fans of synthwave, various post-genres, or interplanetary journeys." - La Grosse Radio Metal
"A new album as immersive as it is exciting, creating an obvious junction between post-rock and synthwave through atmospheres effortlessly conjuring images of science fiction films in our minds (even though our eyes are mostly closed). With an added compelling narrative dimension, we get a uniquely genre-defying album, one that we hope to see adapted into a film in the near future." - Eklektik Rock
"Volkor X once again demonstrates his unbelievable abilities in composition, arrangements, and production." - COREandCO webzine
"A huge step forward for VOLKOR X both as a musician and a concept" Distorted Sound Magazine
"Of incredible quality that truly leaves us speechless." - Sounding Shivers
"An incredible musical journey that deserves its share of attention." - Les Oreilles Curieuses
"Volkor X takes [epicness] to a whole new level entirely" The Progspace
"And all of this makes Volkor X extremely endearing and effective. Don't miss out on a monument of the genre!" Margoth PDF webzine
Through this stellar opus, Volkor X bares his soul and takes you on an auditory journey to the profound depths of introspection. Amidst the mesmerizing fusion of ethereal guitars, resounding synths, and monumental walls-of-sound, secrets lie concealed, a requiem for the lost, an evocative journey through the never-ending whirl of the human spirit, a cryptic homage to those lost in the abyss.
He is Volkor X. He does not come in peace.
