Exclusively Van Halen: Balance (Expanded Edition) | Official Anniversary Reissue #vanhalen 6/25/25

Primary marks the center of The Hymnal. It is ruled by Libra and positioned between sorrow, chaos, and transformation. In the myth, this is the golden age of the Arcani. Under Anthromancer’s silent guidance, the Arcanum brings power, beauty, and connection to all of Akash. Cities rise; matter bends, and the song of progress hums beneath.

In Mercenarium, Primary lets you glimpse the future—three Hymnal cards revealed, one chosen. It’s a quiet card, but one that can utterly reshape the game. In Dragonfruit, it represents knowledge: the power of understanding, the control of perception. Its alteration is empathy born of awareness.

Primary is the only instrumental track on the album. No lyrics. Just a chill, glassy sci-fi soundscape. Built in collaboration with Patrick Creselius, who brought dynamic shape and color to its minimalism. 

Primary

“Bold & Gentle” is about embracing contradictions. It’s a celebration of tension, change, and everything in between – chasing the rise and fall, feeling both big and small, without needing a reason. A quiet anthem for those who want to live wide open.


„Bold & Gentle“ feiert die Gegensätze des Lebens – laut und leise, wild und sanft, Anfang und Ende. Ein Lied über Bewegung, Wandel und das Gefühl, ganz da zu sein – ohne Erklärung, einfach lebendig. Für alle, die das Leben in seiner ganzen Fülle spüren wollen.

Bold and Gentle

We are living in a tumultuous time.  Art should reflect this.  This track starts melancholy, as what we are witnessing and experiencing is quite sad and nonsensical.  It moves into action, as I believe, at some point, all will have to fight for what is right and just.  The reflection at the end was again, melancholic, mourning the fact that the fight needed to happen at all.   “No price to pay…..the bill comes due.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

The Bill Comes Due

Инструментальный EP "Баланс" (3 трека, дата выхода: 30 мая) – это концептуальное музыкальное путешествие. Композиции "Одержимость", "Выгорание" и "Баланс" последовательно рассказывают историю эмоционального пути: от всепоглощающей страсти к своему делу через кризис и выгорание к обретению внутренней гармонии. Релиз представляет обновленное, более качественное и глубокое звучание (ремастеринг/пересведение) этих композиций, объединенных в единую историю.

This 3-track EP ("Obsession," "Burnout," and "Balance") is a conceptual musical journey. It sequentially tells an emotional story: from the all-consuming passion for one's craft, through crisis and burnout, to finding inner harmony. The release features an updated, higher-quality, and deeper sound (remastered/re-mixed) of these compositions, now united in a single narrative.

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.
