Can't believe people are trying this... Do NOT do this on my music please. You might die instantly, your ears might melt and your brain will definitely liquefy.
Just buy a good pair of headphones instead and leave the equalizer flat. Or go and do a hearing test. Thank you.

I'm sure you've heard of the recent archaic DMCA crackdowns on
@Twitch
. How do you feel about streamers listening to your music on their streams? Any objections?
"This is our planet now" should be available pretty much everywhere by now. Stream or buy from here:
I'm getting tremendous feedback so far. Keep it coming, I'm omnipotent, I'm reading everything.
Stay safe, OR DIE!

I also set-up a pre-order on Bandcamp for the digital album:
I have a different point of view. Spotify literally killed piracy. Now we still get paid even when people can't afford to buy our music. OK it's not much per stream, but it's our job to make the most of it. Before, the only alternative was illegal DL. I for one thank

It took 2.5 years to reach my 1st million streams on
@spotify
. It happened on the last day of 2017.
It took less than 5 months to get a 2nd million streams. How quick will we get the 3rd mil?
Stream, OR DIE!!!

How about some new music? From time to time, I will release some video game music covers. I'll start next friday with a song I used to play over and over on my

So yesterday was my biggest day on bandcamp since the release of This Means War. Actually, that biggest day alone was bigger than any full month since the release of that first album! Almost covered the cost of the gear I bought for the canceled shows.
#synthfam
, I salute you.
Yet unnamed side-project is starting to sound immense. 15 minutes of music have been written and recorded. It's taking me to places I didn't expect, and I have no intention of fighting it. Now more than ever, I know than not only you, but also I, should expect the unexpected!!
I didn't anticipate achieving these two milestones over the same weekend, but here we are! I'm truly grateful for it! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has supported me in any way. You made the new album coming on October 20th possible!
NRW released "Godwave Rises" in 2017. I had far less following than I have now, and this song has been overlooked by the majority of my followers. I talked with NRW, got the rights back. I can now upload it to my channels!

🚀Here's the last single from the new album!
"Shoot Them Up" is a tribute to the best thing Earth has to offer: the arcade shmups from the 80s/90s. Terra Cresta, Raiden, DonPachi, Batsugun, Aero Fighters, Twin Cobra... You name it!

Another track almost finished for the new album. This one starts as your regular mid tempo synthwave track and finishes in the most beautiful post-synth-black-metal way possible... The "it's not 80s enough" crowd will crucify me 🤣
Ok, that's a new record for me. 10000 streams in less than a week after release on Spotify. You people seem to like Stratos, don't you?
Thank you for your support! Together we'll conquer the universe!!

Let introduce the live musicians who will take part in the destruction of Bordeaux, France, on June 1st.
From left to right :
-
@Carbon_Killer
(crushing guitars)
- SR-16 (drums of war)
- Overlord
@VolkorX
(Earth shaking bass and air shattering synths)
You have been warned.
Side-project is progressing nicely. Trying to make it so the album can be listened as one 45 minutes song.
Almost at the 10 minutes mark.
There will be synths. There will be guitars. There will be vocals. There will be blast beats. But will it djent? Most certainly.
I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that the new album will be delayed. The good news is that it's because I'm working on a 2h long soundtrack for a webcomic. So in the end, it just means more music!
In the meantime:

Exactly 2 years ago today, "This is our Planet now" was released. Time for celebration! Here's a live recording of one of my favorite song from the album!

I obviously didn't work on that song. I don't even know that Grobbit dude, all I know is that he is a scam artist tagging other artists in his songs without their consent (including Nobuo Uematsu!). Anyone knows how to report this?
@spotifyartists
New milestone! Hypersleep passed 2 million streams on
@Spotify
Fun fact, this track almost didn't make it to the album, because I was afraid it would be a bit too ambient... Good thing I didn't chicken out in the end!

New cover! "Aquatic Ambience" from Donkey Kong Country. Hugely inspirational song! Original composed by the legendary

Featuring
@gotenfr
on the lead guitar, who also happens to be quite the Wise fan!
Enjoy, OR DROWN!
"In all, this album is a huge step forward for VOLKOR X both as a musician and a concept, and continues to place down solid footing for future releases."
Thank you for the great review
@Distorted_Mag

As I get this question a lot, here's a public reply:
Yes you can. Just be aware most of my songs will trigger content ID and ads might show up on your videos. If you're ok with that, use anything you like from my discography, OR DIE!
Look out for this. June 3rd. I have a new song called "Gateway" on this soundtrack album, and you don't want to miss it. It's one of my best songs ever.
Many thanks to all listeners and curators! 2019 has been a turning point. Looking forward to 2020 with the release of Part 2 of the Heart Wired soundtrack and of course, the new album you've all been waiting for for far too long now!
Prepare to die, OR DIE!

Thinking about making a game music covers EP. I have a few ideas, even started working on a good old classic. What game themes do you think would work well with the Volkor touch? Please post a link with your suggestions!

People of Earth, I had to change of digital aggregator. "This Means War" might need to be re-saved to Spotify/Deezer/Google Music/(...) library.
Do it now, OR DIE!
It's still missing from Apple Music but should be back soon.
