Roxas returns to a world overtaken by the Arcanum’s song. The people are hollowed out. Ylias, triumphant, activates the Hymnal Protocol. Roxas flees through the streets as the terrible beauty of the music of the great machine takes hold of his mind. With the last of his will, he consumes the sacred oleander and falls into the dark.

In Mercenarium, Arcanum is a board wipe—sacrificing one unit to destroy everything nearby. It’s total catharsis. In Dragonfruit, it represents collapse, revolution, and the trauma of sudden transformation. The old must be obliterated for the new to begin.

This is the album’s most intense track; a desperate sprint toward silence. Jason Kermit Jennings co-composed it in a fevered session that closed the trilogy (Hymns VIII–X).

LYRICS

If the Dragoon Destiny should come to pass
The stars will tumble down
Fools procuring heroes, more or less
Adrift, and twisting in the wind

Come while you’re young enough to say
Your songs will never go away
Within our glorious array

Synthesizing art
Arcanum of parts
Application, please
Restart

Caught in the chaotic current of souls
Trying to decide if it’s worth it to hold on
And stay strong
Charting the course of truth and remorse
inducing dichotomy, audience, enemy, please

Ctrl + freeze
Ctrl + freeze

Arcanum

End of Luv

*This song is a part of me. “Pursuit of (Un-)happiness” was born out of nights where I felt trapped in my own head – chasing happiness but finding only emptiness.

I poured my thoughts, fears, and scars into this track, shaping it into something that feels both heavy and fragile at the same time. The guitars, the drums, the voice – they all carry pieces of that storm I’ve been living through.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running in circles, like no matter what you do it’s never enough, maybe this song will speak to you. It’s not about perfection, it’s about being real – and maybe finding a spark of hope somewhere in the chaos.*

This is my way of saying out loud what I couldn’t put into words for so long – maybe you’ll hear a part of yourself in it too.



Pursuit of (Un-)Happines

This was not meant to sound aesthetic and pleasing to the ears. It's just a musical journal entry of the complicated mix of emotions I feel right now, so that I feel better after releasing it. Also, an experimentation of going out of the standard chords and rules. And allowing my body and fingers to move however they feel like without caring how I sound or controlling the outcome. Just letting the process unravel. 


Recorded on my phone, raw and unedited.

MORE OF SUCH RAWNESS TO COME because it's so fun! And if people want masterfully mixed music, there are tons on spotify and youtube to satisfy.

August feelings - a spontaneous flow to release the pent up emotions

Castle of Dreams

A sonic relic born between the folds of dimensions.
A journey in three acts:
the longing,
the friction,
the release.

It moves through the soft and the jagged,
through collapse and new breath.
A mirror held to the skin.
Bathed in ether and mother of pearl clouds.

You’re invited to go in —
and come out different.

This is not an escape.
It’s a mirror with teeth.
Enter at your own risk.

Castle of Dreams

Lyrics : 
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground

Mythic synthpop for the end of the world.

Anthromancer is the sonic wing of a transmedia myth created by Daniel James Drake—a fusion of game, oracle, and concept album. The debut LP, The Hymnal, scores the fall and rebirth of a fictional civilization, blending icy electronica with poetry into a 13-track spiritual epic.

Our sound is somewhere between The Postal Service, Muse, Aesop Rock, and Nobuo Uematsu, with shades of Röyksopp and our venerable RPG nostalgia. The sound is cinematic, existential, and driven by a hunger to be known.

Support the work through Patreon. Or just listen closely. The secrets are already in the songs.
