Malice Against The Rend (Vox Ominum) Vern Carson Remix
Voidscan, Vern Carson
That is not my purpose Nor is that my design The Vox Ominum only reveals the path ahead I burn with stellar flame Forever unwavering, yet forever watching A waypoint of light in the darkness of the unknown before you Still, to my eyes: you... You are beyond salvage The future for which you strive leads to naught but ruin In the name of order, this is... Where you die (where I die/where we die). yelling laughing or coughing You misunderstand human nature In defiance of the end With malice against the rend One must fight You ask why I'm here Despite my prophecies Despite your fiends I am human. But for those behind me I am something more VOX OMINUM

In This Skin (Unfiltered Carbon)
Voidscan, Salimer
Dust and sand Is that all that i am? So small Insignificant I can be lighter than the wind But so heavy in your hand Yang and yin Never ends nor begins I'll fall As the grains run thin I can be lighter than the wind Like cherubim and seraphim Lighter than the wind But so heavy in this skin In this skin So heavy In this skin In this skin In this skin

The Tired Monster doesn’t sleep.

I didn’t set out to make an album. I set out to survive some long, stressful nights and once again I set out to make another remix album.

Each track from the original Tired Monster has been reimagined and reborn through the hands of incredible artists. Featuring remixes by: Salimer, Vern Carson, Jude Kerr, RVN3, The Exerion, Exit Chamber, and SparkySynth.

Vern Carson has created a narrative to accompany this reimagined album.
Visit vox.voidscanmusic.com to read the lore behind Tired Monster Insomnia.

Thanks for listening to what I couldn't put into words and to these remixers, for turning these songs into something incredible.

And a special thanks to Maria Forsberg for allowing me to use her wonderful piece of art.

“Tired Monster by Voidscan might just be my favorite electronic album I've ever heard. It carries all the drive & energy to keep me engaged & moving, but it's just laden throughout with this deep sombre tone. Never have a felt the duel urges to cry & dance so strongly.” - MetalMinder|Steve
