Thoughts, Reflections - My favorite part of this album is how deeply it resonates with me.

"'Monarch of Monsters' is an allegory for how trauma, loneliness, and selfishness can turn you into a horrible person; it's about endeavouring to stay alive even within a terminal state of regret; how — in this regret — experiencing any happiness at all feels insincere and undeserved; about perpetuating cycles of toxicity and wickedness because it's all you've known, especially in denial of being wrong; and ultimately, learning to find purpose and self-love in that din." (Monarch of Monsters Bandcamp Page)

This hits deep for me. Deeper than any album I've ever encountered in my entire life. It's terribly, and beautifully, bittersweet. I wish I listened to this album sooner, I blew it off for a while but it's what I needed.

Favorite Song - Huntress
