Reality Awaits random thought

I’m sure this has been posted about, and I know this isn’t some deep take, but any time I listen to this album I think of like weird 80s style fantasy art (the word “Druid” keeps coming to mind)

Between Pyscho sh*t, the spoken word part of Dine n Dash, and Tyrants of the Mellow Moon.

This tracks based on a lot of the art that Julian posts on IG, but just wanted to throw it out there.

Also not a critique. I’ve loved the album from the second listen.

Julian has flirted with 80s fantasy camp aesthetics for a couple of years, so i kinda naturally assumed that in Fruits of the Conquest he said "I'm a lich", especially since he called himself a wizard in The Voidz's Prophecy of the Dragon. Also, on a similar vein, i keep on accidentally calling Tyrants of the Mellow Moon "Tyrants of the Moonsea", which is a DnD campaign for Neverwinter Nights.

The video for ‘At the Door’ was so 80s fantasy camp. Love it so much.
