The second album, released in 2020. With this album, I started to progressively shift from synthwave to something else, by incorporating more metal and post rock elements. If you have time for only one track, listen to Beam.
“Volkor X, by giving metal and synthwave equal amounts of dedication and attention, has created an album which proves that the two genres were meant for each other that they, indeed, amplify and improve each other.” (Heavy Blog is Heavy review)
“As a rule, all Synthwave should be as progressive as Volkor X. This Is Our Planet Now is the spiritual sequel to his 2016 album, This Means War, and has set the barometer extremely high for this genre. (…) In short, this record is a great soundtrack to your nightmares and dreamscapes. An ethereal experience that’s creative and innovative. It’s a bold genre-mixing effort that embraces contemporary Metal and Post-Rock. “ (Scream Blast Repeat review)
