Riders of the End

TRAUMA  Final Album 

Hey friends,
it’s us again, but this time for the last time in this lineup.
Nothing is the way it used to be. Everything keeps changing.
Today, we’re sharing our final album together.
And honestly? We really believe it’s the best thing we’ve ever made.
And you know what they say, the best always comes at the end.
We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.

TRAUMA isn’t just a record 
it’s an open scar, a last cry from the edge of collapse.
It was shaped by emotional instability, addiction, mental illness, loss,
and the slow, burning fight to survive yourself
when the world around you stops making sense.

Every track comes from real pain:
Relapses.
Panic nights.
Days that meant nothing.
And the desperate hope that something out there might still save us.

This album carries real loss.
Three of our family members  Andy, Noriko, and Lisa, passed away.
Nothing here is fictional or staged.
It’s simply what was left when life took everything else away.

TRAUMA is the last album we’ll ever make in this formation.
But the project will continue — just not in the same shape.
It’s going to change, shed skin, evolve,
become something more experimental, more fluid, more fearless…
free from genres, free from expectations.

This might be our last shared album 
but it’s not a quiet goodbye.
It’s a scream for the ones we lost,
and a promise that their voices will echo
in everything we create from here on.

To Andy. To Noriko. To Lisa.
We carry you.
In every note.
In every breath.
In every piece of sound that refuses to die.
