FoxPuppy I love this album! From the cinematic storytelling to the great vocal performance to the intense industrial/darksynth production, this was a great experience I'm going to want to hear again and again.

Draven Evil and terrifying till your blood runs cold! Incredible production with shattering compositions and so groovy basslines and rhythms that your booty won’t stop shaking!!! And let’s not talk about the vocals! The release is just mindblowing!!! Favorite track: Theme from Traumaville.

lessdead Out Of Traumaville is a complex beast of an album. It’s darksynth, but pulpy and operatic, laden with dollops of rock and metal. The production values are absolutely brilliant, underpinning the precise attention to detail Connör brings to his work. It’s the full package, replete with exceptional vocals. Get it, got it? Good.

kizunaut Great instrumentals, great vocals and the overall concept/story behind the album is great. Highly recommended for people who like synthwave with some substance.

Stand close to me now, it’s funny I’ve no memory Remembering how to speak now, Where is this place where can we be I lack all understanding what has happened where’s our landing It’s like a darkened dream now, Eyes wide awake No one knows how WOKE UP IN FEAR Light is so dim here I can barely see the sun People I’ve found sit in fear Someone’s coming I think we better run The year is 83 ATE Were on the move Stick close with me It’s like a bad dream now, I hope I’m not awake, I’ve got to know how WOKE UP IN FEAR woke up in fear i woke up right here Oh…. remain unseen, stick close to me, stick close to me Our parents left us walking, no time for talking Oh stick close to me, stick close to me now

Bleeding minds Hypnotised Round and round we go but there's nothing to show Like a Ferris wheel My body reels, At every turn a new horror show lures you in, Every step upon these streets is a dangerous game, You roll the dice with your own life in this city built on pain You run inside and lock the door so you can feel safe But there is no escape No there is no escape TOTAL DARKNESS Desperate moves At breakneck speeds One wrong move and your life will flash before your eyes We're living in fear No sanctuary near It's on a distance hill I dream of, but there's no sight of it down here Every step upon these streets is a dangerous game You roll the dice with your own life in this city built on pain You run inside and lock the door so you can feel safe But there is no escape No there is no escape TOTAL DARKNESS Here is the end, You feel your heart race There is no escape There is no escape Total darkness Every step upon these streets is a dangerous game You roll the dice with your own life in this city built on pain You run inside and lock the door so you can feel safe But there is no escape No there is no escape Total darkness

Who’s gonna stop the fire Once the light is lit What if it rages is higher And the dark won’t quit Said goodbye to myself tonight, I;ve gone Can’t stop this fight, it’s forever on So lost inside, dark is the night Need a place to hide, I’m out of sight Who puts the puzzle back When the pieces are smashed I’m scared to look when everything’s black What if all hopes have been hushed, oh no I didn’t set out to live like this I used to cry with fear, oh no I didn’t think I ‘d turn out like this With the edge of the cliff so near Said goodnight to myself tonight, I;ve gone Can’t stop this fight, it’s forever on So lost inside, dark is the night Need a place to hide, I’m out of sight Who stops the fire When the light is lit and it rages higher Who stops the fire When the light is lit and it rages higher Who stops the chaos When our hope is gone and the night becomes us Who stops the chaos When our hope is gone and the night becomes us

Spoken minds in the open Shattered dreams in the ocean Neon cultures are broken A future dystopian Built this world so well? Take my soul away from this retro hell Wasted in a junk lost land I’ll paint a picture For you to understand 83A.T.E a world that wasn’t meant to be 83A.T.E someone come and rescue me 83A.T.E a world that wasn’t meant to be 83A.T.E someone come and res-cue me The rocks and stones I know, A place I call my home Where fear will take control Take a trip to traumaville Down the rabbit hole As deep as you can go Broken signs of religion Feel the beat of the kick drum In a world full of wise men Wheres your god, where’s your amen? Back in time for your wisdom? 83A.T.E a world that wasn’t meant to be 83A.T.E someone come and rescue me 83A.T.E a world that wasn’t meant to be 83A.T.E someone come and res-cue me Rescue me from this NEVERENDING NIGHTS

They gonna bring the pain They gonna arrest our souls We got make our claim We gotta go We’ve got a place to go, this is our time I’m like a man out of season, I was born to shine It’s not cowardness when you drink in the sun You can take your own life under the revolution, it’s the revolution They gonna bring the pain They gonna arrest our souls We got make our claim We gotta go All away…..don’t give up……all way I can’t give up I won’t give in, and drink it all away I can’t surrender life like this, drink away the pain Death fakes as a noble kiss, so you can drink it all away I stand alone this time, I stand alone this time Don’t tell me where to stand now I will make it on my own somehow I won’t lie down next to this poor lady I ‘won’t lie down just to make things easy

Find yourself a place to run my child For these days are running wild Find yourself a moment of light Get out of traumaville tonight are we save in our prayer? Don’t know are we heading for the light? Don’t know and will They meet us there? don’t know We’ll be alright? I just don’t know Stay in your fox hole dear, and you’ll be dead tonight Hopelessness is found in Mr right Stay in your fox hole dear, and you’ll who they’ll kill Stick with us instead, out of traumaville Finding yourself a place to hide. Won’t stop them from running wild He’s not coming back for you He was never coming back for you Stay in your fox hole dear, and you’ll be dead tonight Hopelessness is found in Mr right Stay in your fox hole dear, and you’ll be who they’ll kill Stick with us instead, out of traumaville are we save in our prayer? (he's not coming back) are we heading for the light? (from a moment of light) and will they meet us there? (he's not coming back) and will we be allright? Out of Traumaville tonight

We all have dreams to pursue There’s a beauty in how we chose I can lie in the morning sun, or swim in the ocean We can say never, to never again We can live life outside in the rain Freedoms are never ending, no fear Ho Ho Holy woöd Don’t trick yourself about it Your freedoms on the shelf Oh baby you act up so delighted You’ can’t recognise yourself Oh baby don’t trick yourself about it You hide behind your wealth Oh baby this place just needs a match stick Stop drinking to its health I’ve never seen that place I know their children’s face They weep on the TV They weep in another world I know there’s a heaven to find We can’t all be out of our mind Are they attacking? While Hollywood is clapping Don’t trick yourself about it Your freedoms on the shelf Oh baby you act up so delighted You’ can’t recognise yourself Oh baby don’t trick yourself about it You hide behind your wealth Oh baby this place just needs a match stick Stop drinking to its health Oh This is Hollywood The town turns from bad to good This is Hollywood This is bad for good Bad for good Bad Oh This is Hollywood The town turns from bad to good This is Hollywood This is bad for good Don’t trick yourself about it You act up so delighted don’t trick yourself about it this place just needs a match stick STOP DRINKING TO ITS HEALTH

Watching Waiting City gates are closed again Watching Waiting I’m calling to you in there, can you hear me I see city lights are bright tonight Have you heard of that place before If you knew it, you’d open the door We have a story you can’t believe We know the secrets you keep up your sleeve I got a question, a question for you Answer me straight, You got to tell us the truth Did you know? Did you know all the while Was tomorrow always your style We are at our end Send us to hell or send us to heaven my friend There’s been a war out here for years Whilst you sat all alone and wiped away your tears We’ve got a question, a question for you Answer us straight, You got to tell us the truth Did you know? Did you know all the while Was tomorrow always your style Was it a case of never or when Answer us straight, we’re at a dead end Could you hear us, calling at night Did you think tomorrow was your time to fight Come on let them in, wake up shouting, never to tomorrow, never tomorrow again Come on let them in, don’t give up in suffering, holywoöd is listening, it’s never to tomorrow again, Never tomorrow again

about

It is 83 years After The Event (ATE), the world has been torn apart and its people are at war.
Far beyond the shining city of Holywood is a dark wasteland people have started calling Traumaville.
Traumaville is a nightmare, it's people are exhausted, their communities shattered and broken into dust.
Pain leads to suffering, suffering breeds fanatics, and the fanatics try to destroy each other.
Hope exists in the cracks and the corners, underground and quiet. Some people are starting to move,
out of Traumaville for the first time. They are headed for Holywood, and Holywood has no idea they are coming.......
