This sucks unless you have autism. What the duck is this garbage?

i like how existence of eye on this art makes the skeleton looks more humanly and desperate, and less like a cool angry skeleton. you can close his eye and the vibe will be entirely different

did anyone else notice that the song titles are like a poem? creation at the dawn of time the sky wailed upon the world to no avail nothing lasts the angels wept! it was futile she has left us alone deterius laid to waste reduced to guts torture machine what remains of her

I imagined an atmospheric game where you just... move along in a world and this is the music that plays as you slowly learn about a dead god and the world it created. a beautiful album. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

This album is crankin’ awesome.

''An album about a dead god and the world it created.'' This made me realise that the title of the beautiful songs tells a story just like the songs themselves like a poem. I just imagine this god, rotten guts deep in a dark ocean. All that Remains of Her. I wish I could explain what's going through my mind and heart more thoroughly, but, I think this is my favourite story of all. I can tell there's been a lot of passion put into it. Sometimes, songs tell more than a book does. So brb, going to listen to this album on repeat now for the rest of my life.

Thorny's art is fricken sick! Can't wait for this album

this album would make a great OST to a game or anything, honestly just by listening my imagination goes crazy and I feel myself slipping into another world! Love it!!!

My first creation was not the sun. I had no grand vision, for no blank slates like I are capable of beauty- not without the first unconfident stroke, the first ungraceful line. I was not a thing with eyes or sights to look at- I was not anything at all, until I suddenly was. A blank slate aware of its blankness, and hands to mar its own unbroken face. I had no grand vision, but I had a thought to marvel at it- that first clumsy stroke I’ve made. A peeling smear of rock and dust I rolled into a ball, no bigger than a palm, ridges where my nails have caught and craters where I have pushed to hard with my thumb. A rugged ball I have made. It was the most wondrous thing I’ve ever seen. I wound my arm and threw it far, and watched it roll, roll, roll across the emptiness. A blank slate knows it must let go of its first stroke, after all. My second stroke was the horizon for the moon to disappear into. The horizon I drew from left to right, my stroke still clumsy and rough, but all the more better for it. Earth and clay and silt I pared from the meat of my palms and laid to meet the rises and dips of the horizon. They were soft, still heated and malleable from the warmth of my hands. When they dried, they bit at the sole of my feet, those rough peaks of my lone sandbox, and I have bled for them to fill their hollow pits and seal their gaping fissures. In those rugged plains and rough hills and sharp mountains I poked holes into their faces with my finger, where I spat my teeth onto my palm and planted them in those holes. From scraped knees and exposed blood vessels and empty gums I have dug to bleed more for this land to stain its body with colours, to cast my shadow to create its hues. My first colour was red, my first sensation was pain. My second colour was green and through my pain I had felt my love for it, though I have given it away to the land. My third colour was blue and I had stained my fingers with grief, smeared the trail of the moon with my loss. Then it was orange, wonderment, for it was gone but perhaps one day it’ll come back to remind me how I had marvelled. And marvelled I had, for I have felt, and from there pink and purple and thousand other colours sprung. From the wick ends of my nerves I alighted lightning, from my chest I wrenched free my ribs to whittle trees until I had teeming forests and my hands felt steady, sure in their work. With unfurling grace I carved shells and flowers and wings of bees, intricate then more intricate until I felt fear for the first time- fearful to break them, fearful to grieve their loss. I ruined them anyway, and from our agony I found courage, grim determination in our broken bodies. When my blood ran dry and my nerves dwindled, my chest hollow and my skin half shorn away, I knew I would see the moon again. A blank slate runs out of strokes and though I will never be finished, I will end- and I am complete because of it. But I do not want to be. I will end and I knew I would end the moment I had let the moon go. The dawn of time will turn to dusk and I will grieve to see the moon again just as I had grieved to see it leave. When I made my first stroke, I had created a beginning and I had created an end. From soil I clawed with my fingers until they bled the little they had left to give, and from there I made my bed. I hummed wind into existence and broiled molten metal with the quake of my throat to make the earth sing, whispered my closing lines. When I saw the stars of distant voids forged into creation by others who had my same carved hands, I had wanted that- perhaps my first grand vision, perhaps a parting gift. The sun I spun from the heat of my final breath from my torn-open lungs, a drop of liquid incandescence I moulded between my forefinger and thumb then watched it fall into the crevice between horizon and sky. Yellow, and I have felt- I have felt. When the moon came, my first clumsy stroke, I watched it eclipse the glow of my finishing line. It was beautiful, and I accepted that. From the decay of my body sprung forth the rest of my creations. My evening will lead to another dawn, though I will not see it. Half-detritus and buried I raised my hand to the sight of my moon before that too, was lost to me. From obscurity I came, then, and to obscurity I return. But from my grave I gift you a legacy of fire, my final thought: what a wonder, this marvel of life.

In the realm of dreams, where reality bends and imagination flourishes, I found myself standing atop a towering mountain, a sentinel in the midst of an eternal winter. The air was crisp and carried a sense of quiet anticipation, as if the world itself held its breath. The landscape stretched out before me, a mesmerizing panorama of white, where snow-covered peaks and valleys blended seamlessly into an otherworldly expanse. The mountain itself seemed to reach for the heavens, its slopes steep and majestic, adorned with glistening icicles that caught the faintest glimmers of light. As I walked along its ridges, the snow crunched beneath my feet, and each step I took echoed in the stillness. The sky above was a canvas of pale hues, a blend of soft blues and pinks that contrasted starkly against the pure white landscape. If you read it all the way to over here thank you :3 This whole album is literally a work of art that I decided to write over on. If I could in any way support or fund you guys Vivi and Grado let me know :) Thank you yet again for this amazing experience, I've enjoyed every second of it whilst diving deep into my thoughts. Loved it

THE ARTSTYLE THE MUSIC THE LYRICS '''THESE HANDS COULD HAVE HELD SO MUCH THAT I NEVER DARED TO TOUCH'''???????????? How is the EVERYTHING so GOOD like wwwwttttffffffff the amout of talent I literally can't even- I've been listening to this album on repeat for the last five days and have no plan to stop like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THISISJUSTSOAMZINGONSOMANYLEVELS

Torture machine surprised me because it hit me with that feeling of pure pasion for music. Over all nice album 👍

it sounds sad yet ALIVE. As if even if the deity died, its creations lived on, abandoned by their creator. The angels wept reflected this very well : we can feel the abondounment and the feeling of loneliness but also of grandiose they experience. I don't know if i'm clear but it's essentially awesome of you managed to put these sounds together trough a very smooth storytelling which is pretty cool

"Chiptune concept album about a dead god and the world it created" wasn't what I expected when I clicked on this, but it's what I got, and I'm so glad for that

This honestly reminds me of some of the stories I create for fun. At first, I really work on it, like a lot. Because it's fun. But slowly, I don't appear. and then I just abandon them. I always treat all my stories like people (For some reason, I can't treat them any other way) and when I do this I always picture my story dying. Just slowly withering away. The idea of abandonment creeping into the imaginary mind, slowly killing it faster. It kind of scares me, too. I've been trying to restore all my stories recently, but I left one to continue rotting. It's a great story, but I can't move past one point. I wonder what'll happen to it.

what a marvelous album. the Torture Machine hit me by a surprise with these lyrics, right when i thought that i'd never hear a word in vivivivivi's music. so damn good

This album was an excellent, possible her best work so far :) I hope others are enjoying this too :^

I really just want to give this album my absolute seal of approval. It's eerily serene, depressing, the emotions are all over the place. It's a story told with music, but the titles of the songs tell that story too. Creation "At the dawn of time, the sky wailed upon the world." "To no avail." " 'Nothing Lasts!' The angels wept." "It was futile." "She has left us alone." "Detritus, laid to waste, reduced to guts." "Torture machine." "What's left of her?" In music with no words, you are left with the task of telling a story through sound. Making your listener feel something, while saying nothing.I think you've done this quite expertly in this album. I'm filled with sadness by many tracks. There is so much emotion in your work. It really is beautiful.

It was definitely worth the wait. also aaaa leitmotifs

I know this is probably not gonna be seen by many, but I feel like saying this anyway. This album legitimately beautiful, it had me in tears at points and I think whatever fame you and Gradarobett have is not enough. Thanks for making music like this.

I finished the album! Entire thing was superb as always, well worth the wait and I can't wait to wait another year and get another absolute banger album from Vivivivivivivivivivivi again.

As someone who listened to music like "To no avail" and "What remains of her" countless times, it brought genuine tears to my eyes to see it all put together so well with so many other songs

The recreation of What Remains of Her genuinely made me cry so hard my eyes ache now, this is amazing

This feels so optimistic to me. Its not so much an album of death but of life. Just the life that can spring after the end. Absurdity, realizing god is dead, and still carrying on. The absolute power of persisting from nothing, for nothing, and still making something. Its really beautiful, but im blathering. It made me smile.

this album is simply incredible. torture machine has shocked me so much, first the vocals, then the instrumental, its just so good. i love the repeating motifs, the bass and just everything about it, cant even find the words to describe how much i adore this one. i felt some of those tracks in my bones. it was definitely worth the wait

now that i listened to this whole album like, 4-5 times i changed my mind. it's not "so damn good", and "marvelous". it's a work that was worth putting a year into, and it's great, magnificent, and other cool words. i can't really find any words to say how good it is, and i'm gonna listen to it for a while now, maybe a month or two. thank you VIVIVIVIVI for creating great music such as this album hope you're proud for what you made

I hope you know how many people's lives you've helped and improved with this. Especially mine ❤ Without getting too much into detail; your music helps me remember that life is worth living. Thank you for sharing your art with the world

FINALLYYY this was sooo gooooood. loved The Angels Wept!, incredible atmosphere all throughout. great melodies too. all of act 3 was also great, definitely the most intense part. Reduced to Guts is honestly one of the best examples of your atmospheric chiptune style, it builds and builds and it just perfectly delivers in the end, so mournful. Torture Machine was such a great surprise. fucking beautiful. honestly i kinda wished there was more crossover between the chiptune and acoustic sounds in the end because the little there was was very original and very nice, if you ever experimented in this sense i think it would come out great. another great album that ends with an acoustic twist. the wait was worth it. can't wait for this to be on spotify.

i like that the song titles are a read like a small poem in itself

I threw this album on while I was drawing, just to have some background noise. I like it way more than I expected to! Thanks so much for this :)

Ooo! Exited!! The theme for the album is unique, so I can't wait what journey it will take us through. The album art is AWESOME too!!! bout to attract people to click on this :D

Gorgeous! All of the titles are so evocative. I think you executed the concept of the album really well. And "It Was Futile" gives massive "It's Raining Somewhere Else" vibes, which brings a whole extra layer of feelings

She Left Us Alone just got my heart, genuinely cried. Thank you for this discover.

only clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the music.

Why do I feel like KZfaq recommendations just chose my personality for the next 6 years

Torture machine is immaculate. Please keep up the great work I'm excited to hear more like this! Edit: I need this on Spotify ASAP!

Listened to the album 5 times now, I can say for certain it's one of the best albums I've ever heard

He who stands immortal in his defiance of time is a slave to his own suffering. He will lose everything he ever loved. All will entropy. Yet he will remain.

This is such a good album! Torture Machine caught me off guard, but as a singer it also made me extremely happy. I'm gonna learn the lyrics to this song.

As someone who’s only made a handful of songs, all of which sound like backing tracks to a retro game, this inspires me. This is the kinda shit I wanna make one day. What a lovely album :000

This album is absolutely amazing! I love the direction you took everything, and it is probably one of the most unique and creative albums I have heard all year! Thank you!!!

i know you probably get this a lot, but you’re music just keeps getting better and better. in my head helped me get through a really tough time, and i just wanna say i appreciate the art that you’ve created! :) insert joke about long ass story comments here

There is no doubt that Viv never lost its essence, it is still excellent, even more so, congratulations on your new album, I love it!, Well done viv :3

chokes and dies

This is a really nice album. It's been a while since I just sat an /listened/ to a full album without really doing anything else but this one has had my attention, and going into the epilogue as I type this, I've enjoyed every single song and the story being told. Very nicely composed, so full of feeling, and overall a very nice listen.

Im glad you are here, existing, you are making life more bearable for us, thank you, viviviviviviviviviviviivivivivivivivi

"Detritus, open up my mind, if that's what you'd like-" (Spiritbox // rule of nines) ...so good, honestly, each piece feels like a theme to some occurrence. Actually, now that I think about it, this sounds like a soundtrack album for a game. It's a shame that it isn't. But thank you for sharing. I'm enjoying it.

Hi viviviviviviviviiviviviivivivivi! I’ve been following your work since I discovered Pretend I’m Not Breathing and it’s been such a delight to see your music progress throughout the short time I’ve known it. Loved the album (especially She Has Left Us Alone and Torture Machine)

vivivivivi has made their own style of music with how the songs are formulated and presented, in the way keys are played, it's like nothing I've heard before. It is completely vivivivivi's style of music. It's so weird and interesting, this just shows how good vivivivivi is. Fantastic work. This album is beautiful, full of so much passion and pain, so much revenge and hope. And instead of the energy from the pain being used to hurt someone, it's used for music. Or vivivivivi is a good actor. But this album is vivivivivi's revenge.

this makes studying bearable and literally almost nothing else does. i love you

Amazing

It's amazing to hear you get better over time. The quality of your songs are getting more and more consistent, and i love your style! Thank you for this

oh my god. i love this album so much. you're literally the reason i started trying to make music, and i just want you to know i'm a huge fan of everything you've made ^^

really love this album, you and everyone else who worked on it did quite the good job!

This is so beautiful! You are really good at what you do... Viv, I wanted to thank you for introducing me to the BeepBox/JummBox, thanks to that I was finally able to make good music

Maybe you won't understand me, but I don't have, at this moment, the capacity to write what I felt hearing this masterpiece in english, so I'll write in my mother tongue Cara, é simplesmente a sensação de quando você está completamente só e sem ninguém ao seu redor, mas por algum motivo ainda tem esperança. É a sensação de relaxamento acompanhada de pura melancolia e agonia, do medo do futuro e a esperança de que, em algum momento, alguém venha te reviver. São todas as vidas que nascem e morrem na sua cabeça no caminho do trabalho pra casa, é a sensação de empatia com essas vidas que nunca existiram, mas que tiveram uma vida tão breve obrigado

Reduced to guts is soo good. (So is the rest of the album too)

these are the first songs i hear from you and your stuff is amazing! the compositions are awesome, the melodies are unique, the atmosphere is dense, you really can be proud of yourself!

i excpected this to be a good album, but i didn't expect it to become one of my favorite albums of all time!! this is genuinely such a work of art, in ways i can't quite explain. the theme is so... i don't even know, like simultaneously hopeless and hopeful, and the music is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it's so fucking goooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like album :3

Wow.....all your other works of are are god tier, but didn't expect this album to completely wipe the floor with all your other tracks. Like i said, WOW this was truly an amazing album, needs for views underrated asf

what in the worlddddd i was already linking the album to all my friends by The Angels Wept, but Torture Machine absolutely blew me away. AMAZING album and your hard work really shows here!!!! amazing release. it's been such a pleasure to watch you grow as a musician, artist, and storyteller. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

V5, You're right to be proud of this fantastic piece - this is one of the best things I've heard this year, and it's almost December. I'll listen to anything you make from now on. Thank you for giving us something so incredible.

I am very hyped for this!! looking forward to listening to it :D

FINALLY! ive been waiting for a released version of it was futile! the cover looks absolutely dope, i love how the eye is still present

no but seriously quite the lovely album, the vocals and guitar work on torture machine were quite the pleasant surprise and everything was just incredibly well done. good job

this is such a good album, so melancholic. great work, I'm glad you're proud of it as you should be!

I've been following your music journey for about 3 years now and it's amazing to see how much you've made and improve. I love this album and the story it makes with just sound. You're doing great and I hope to see more in the future

I have no idea how many times I've listened to this album. It won't even show properly here since I downloaded it to listen offline. The malencholic vibes, everytime I hear this album I get the vivid imagery of a monotone 8/16 bit game or animation. My Personal favorite is "she has left us alone." In my mind I see the story of a hero setting out, leaving behind the city she once protected in search of help to cure the blight that has plagued the people. But in the end, hope as the people may and withering day by day, she never returns. Failing to find an answer, sucumbing to the sickness she fled from, or simply not going back I'm not sure. I can almost see the streets of broken cobbles. the small ship, one you could barely call a raft, that the hero sets out upon to the mercy of the waves. The lifeless visage of the town from the hill afar. The hope masking gritted teeth, regrets at actions they had no part of. The decay eating away the people, the town, the earth they stand upon. All part of the much larger story I see when I listen, but among the most vivid. Torture machine being one of the harder ones to place since the lyrics put it off from creative interpretation.

What Remains of Her had been on repeat for so long and I am ecstatic to see it make a return here! Thank you for blessing my ears and my night!

i discovered this album a few months ago and honestly its my favorite album of all time, I listen to it daily!! you did an amazing job :]

i have no words. this is unbelievably beautiful. what luck i stumbled upon this... thank you for making and sharing this art

Thank you sm for bringing more chiptune into the world aaaaaa. 1 million hearts. I'm in love with this. Particularly in love with the moodiness and melancholia of this album, it's a nice change from usually pretty chipper/cheery chiptune. Well done!!

You've outdone yourself. Other people that worked on this also did a great job with music and the art. Awesome, I love this and I hope more people will find this masterpiece. You're the artist that inspired me to try making music, Thank you.

Literally every album you make gets me SO MUCH IN THE FEELS..! This one is now my favourite, it’s really relaxing and sometimes nostalgic, love this!!

Your music never fails to bring tears to my eyes. You worked so hard on this album and it shows, great job.

this album is fantastic, it makes me feel like an adventurer walking through a desolate and empty world devoid of life

The more I look at the art, the better it gets. As the music accompanies the melancholy feel of the death of a god, it's just perfect. I love this album so much. This deserves more love, and especially to be used in a game. It's nothing short of amazing, your music just keeps on getting better.

This is so incredible! I love the art and the sound and the poem in the titles and just all of it!!

Amazing music and album cover, I'm glad this was recommended to me!

It's so good, so ethereal but at the same time depressing. I would love to listen and emerge into your album once in a while, but can't do consistently. Random comment but just wanna say thank you for putting this album out there. Amazing work sir/ma'am.

your work always seems to follow a repeating pattern in each song, the real changes being the emotion behind it. love the simple but effective way of communicating emotion through music!

Amazing stuff, hits me in a way I think I needed rn. Thanks ❤

Just rediscovered your Channel and remembered how much I enjoyed your previous stuff. Happy to say this did not disappoint in the slightest :) keep up the amazing work !!

This album is really good thank you, I find its really helpful for slipping into a somewhat creative headspace so thank you ♥

been listening to it all day, makes me feel things. thank you for sharing it with us :)

Your best work so far. Love this album.

i love it thank you your music is amazing all of the videos in your channel are epic

this was so beautiful! thank you so much

Love your work Vivivi! glad to see another amazing album!

This entire album is amazing, but Torture Machines is on a whole different level. The craftsmanship is simply astounding.

Wonderful work form vivivivivi, as per usual. I can't wait for more!

I am absolutely in love, thank you for creating this masterpiece

Yo this is awesome (love the art, that's tattoo material right there imo)

When you listen to The Angels Wept, it's almost like pixelated crying.

I once had a dream where I was quietly swimming in this bog at night surrounded by these willow-like trees that had glowing blue bulbs that dangled from their limbs. It was so strangely peaceful and pleasant, the happiest I had ever been. I don’t know, this reminded me of that somehow.

So I practically exploded a tire for the first time, at 2 am in the middle of fucking nowhere in a random forest in the dark Kinda panicked and did many things but now it's over, fixed it Was driving around exausted, had this album on background and I love the vibes, to no avail cheered me up Well this was something, I'm so tired but I love driving at night with this music, the moon is also beautiful I feel so alone, it's peaceful

Amazing work as always :) Made me light up when I saw a post

viv this is AWESOME

Very enjoyable album. Thanks for putting it out there.
