In the near future all humans have been placed in cryogenic freeze for the safety of the planet. Inside the cryo-freeze their minds are plugged-in to the Simulation, an exact copy of a socialist utopia on a hyper advanced-planet. Initially they went willingly, entire countries at a time, but some resisted. These people were known as the Defectors, the men and women who did not subscribe to United-Front's grand plan for the future of their species. Initially UF tried to convince them that plugging in to the Simulation was the right thing to do, when it became clear that they would rather die than enter the Simulation, the last of the UF soldiers entered the Simulation, deploying a deadly bio-weapon behind them. Unfortunately for UF a tiny number of people developed a genetic resistance to the disease, leaving entire continents controlled by wandering bands of Defectors.

You play as Martin Richards, a 30-something man recently awakened from cryo-freeze with no memory of the world before he entered the Simulation.

Short horror/survival story. (My first CYOA story)

Ayyy Ghost is awesome fun, From the Pinnacle to the Pit is definitely my favourite, Cirice would still be top 5 though

Did you hear the theory that the Dave Grohl was the drummer at a bunch of their live shows? cool if its true

Have you checked out A Silver Mt. Zion? they're a side project of some of the GY!BE guys and their first two albums are just as good as GY!BE's stuff imo.

Fuck yeah old Kanye is gorgeous man, such a shame his music just gets dismissed as stupid brag rap by some people because of some of the stuff he says in the media. :/

Thats a helluva something aint it

Ay Gesu Otome is awesome!

Maybe check out The Pillows, theyre not super similar but theyre another cool Japanese soft rock band

THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE!

Hmmm i cant think of anything super similar as I don't listen to a lot of folk metal but try these albums;

Falkenbach - Magni Blandinn Ok Megintiri

Cult of Fire - Ascetic Meditation of Death (this is metal mixed with traditional Indian/Hindu music rather than traditinal European music but its great)

Also Kamni - A.T.O.M is a mix of really psychedelic stoner metal with a bunch of eastern European traditional instrumentation

Let me know what you think! :)

Lol fair enough man, maybe check out Bloodbound - Tabula Rasa, the lyrics are nothing amazing imo but its an incredible vocal performance

Fair enough man, i only really like the more psychedelic side of Doom and Stoner i agree the slower stuff can be a bit boring, I mostly listen to stuff without clean vocals so I'll probably check out Deliverance then , thanks for the rec.

Ay Mastodon's great, Leviathan would be my fave album by them.

I actually havent listened to much Opeth, what albums would you recommend?

You like Sleep or Electric Wizard?

Hey man no problem, definitely keep listening to the Squarepusher one, it really grows on you. :)
