Inspired by Alyag's habitually ongoing co-op video game antics with his partner and copilot-in-perpetual-mischief, Bex, "Retropunkalypse" is a song about star-crossed lovers flourishing in the aftermath of the world's end. In direct contrast to the starkly tenebrous lyrical theme, the heavy melodic guitar-driven soundtrack serves as an uplifting anthem of hope and perseverance in the face of the utmost dire circumstances. So long as they have one another, the formidable team shall juggernaut through all.

Lyrics:

We walk through the shadows in the valley of death
Hand in hand, to the rhythm of our breath
The road is dark but you light my way
You're my beacon, my compass, and with you I shan't be led astray

Tenebrous may be the skies,
The streets are cracked, the trees have died
Yet the spark of hope within your eyes
Is everything I need to survive

It was always us against the world
But now it's ended, and we aren't fazed at all
Tattered remnants of a shattered past
Yet through it all our bond shall last

We'll dance through the darkness and the flames
These stalwart spirits can't be tamed
Our stars are crossed, our souls are tied
You're everything I need to survive

Imad Royal & Mark Johns - Heart-Shaped Box (VIRTU Remix)

This song is about the tension that exists between fear and surrender, and the moment of letting go.
… about the intrinsic value we all have, that is not based on what we do or achieve.
… about the evolutionary torque that is born out of the process of accepting what has been and what will be, such that we may land in the present moment.
… about dissolving into the fabric of the universe, as if dust on a faint breeze, and trusting what lies on the other side.

Here's my very last minute remix of Psymbionic's Hypnotoad for the Gravitas Recordings remix contest. It got a bit dreamy and floatier than I had originally intended but I kinda like it that way now. Hope you dig it. Heres the link if you wanna enter and the link to the original tune. Much love, and thanks to Psymbionic and Gravitas for having this contest.
