This video is a blatant nerd-out, an animation inspired by a few classic video games, particularly Final Fantasy 2 (SNES, 1988, a.k.a. Final Fantasy 4). In the recent past when I’ve been asked to reflect on Kayo Dot’s oeuvre, I’ve found a very apt analogy in Final Fantasy overworld maps, with each of our records being able to be thought of as different lands (Coffins on Io as the moon, Hubardo as the town of Ornac, Coyote as the underworld, etc). Because of Blasphemy’s lyrical content and themes, and that I’ve always been interested in playing with animation, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for such a video. And I was deliberately avoiding writing much music this year while I waited for the album to drop, so I had some time to try my hand at making some visual art. Mainly I did this to tickle myself. In this part of the story, our characters have finally reached their X-marked spot and haul their terrible treasure up from the depths of the sea.

vaura je mnogo laksa da se svari.

ima dosta nekih 80s rush/crimson vajbova na ovom albumu, iako ga sigurno boli kurac za oba benda 😄

morace detaljno da se slusa, standardna kayo dot prica, nove teritorije se istrazuju. synthovi su idalje tu ali se vratile gitare i neki metalni/goticarski vajb.

Band : Hey Toby, how much vocal parts do you want on this new album?

Toby : Yes

ovo bi imalo smisla da se bilo ko sem tobija ikad pitao za bilo sta 😄

jako je dramaticno, ima dosta nekih naracija, vrlo je jasno da je concept album sa nekom povezanom pricom, sto nije nikad bio slucaj kod njih i kad je bio concept album . meni se sve vise svidja. toby stvarno nikad bolje ni raznovrsnije nije pevao

Bas zanimljiv album, svega ovde ima.

Opet, siguran sam da mi ovo nece biti medju njihovim najboljim albumima, ali mi se vise svidja od proslog koji nikada nisam uspeo da svarim.

Opal mi je medju pesmama godine, sve mi se svidja, cak i Danny Filth vokali 🙂 (ovo bas nisam ocekivao).

Bubnjevi su odlicni, a i Toby se bas razmahao, ne znam da li je ikada ovako dobro pevao (mada ume i da pretera kao u drugom delu Vanishing).

Za početak, 10 puta bolji album od prošlog. Jedino mi je "An eye for a lie" bezveze stvar tj. tu upadnu u tripove i eksperimente koji mi se ne sviđaju. Iako ima svega od uticaja i mora dosta da se sluša, nekako je sve fino uklopljeno i ima dobar flow, koga poremeti pomenuta pesma, a i poslednja malo odudara, ali ona me je kupila još na prvo slušanje pre nego što je cela stvar procurela. Nemam problem sa tim što Toby ekstenzivnije peva, a još manje sa povratkom gitara u značajniju ulogu.

E da, ja skinuh neki dupli CD gde se drugi zove "Purity", prilično eksperimentalno sranje i za njihove standarde, al slabo sam slušao, fokusirao sam se na "Blasphemy". Ne deluju mi baš kohezivno te dve priče.
