The Ascender

by Faderhead

supported by

lokimoya This EP is a fucking masterclass.

Kay Ninjita Might the most inspiring track in the entire FADERHEAD anthology. Favorite track: Where We'll Be Gods.

The Spinglass Hydra Everyone watch Faderhead work tirelessly, throughout the day and night to bring his audience, everything and more than what's ever expect. Decades of masterful adeptness has placed Sami at the forefront of true Cyberpunk music, built upon heaps of Industrial/EBM magic, as a cyclonic Master-Blaster ― Chronicling his own series of unique Graphic Novels, Anime Inspired Additions, and of coarse his incomparable Music. Support his particular artistry by becoming a Patreon member. He loves to create.

Exiles Outcast the cyberpunk feel I really needed Favorite track: With All Due Disrespect.

Emmi I love all songs on this EP, and the graphic novel that came with it, gives you an even deeper experience. It's classic Faderhead quality. Favorite track: Cables & Pain (feat. The Delta Mode).

2.	Noise Night 03:45	lyrics	buy track
I write on walls So someone knows I exist We are the voice in the night that you can’t hear We are the fragments of light We are the shadows that move when you’re not here And we are more than a file I was here Lightchaser Noise night Noise night I was here Entertainer Noise night Noise night We are the poison inside that you can’t feel We are darker than night We are the strange in the world that you see creep And we will riot tonight
3.	Cables & Pain (feat. The Delta Mode) 03:13	lyrics	buy track
So many questions So many lessons So many weapons Another fashion Another way to try Chorus: And all of them fake Through cables And pain Sleepwalking everyday Through cables and pain This body tired These nerves on fire And still not done These goals are moving Cause they are not defined

You can't see silence So scream to be visible I believed That the truth Sets you free I used to think That I knew I believed That you do As you will I once believed That's the truth Hex Wars Flex More Tech Whores Control Control Witch spells Shaped hell Phrased well Control Control I now believe That perception Is king I felt the power Of lies I now believe that the word makes the world And now the word will be mine

Electric Sun
by VNV Nation

supported by 95 fans who also own “The Ascender”

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
