Imago
a powerful blend of Hard Rock and Alternative Metal, with a dark and utterly weird, doomy and sludgy undertone that emphasizes a feeling of dread. Instrumentally, it is built on heavy, distorted guitar riffs that range from chugging power to atmospheric, delay-heavy clean tones. The rhythm section is defined by a driving, prominent bass and aggressive, powerful drumming, often incorporating double-kick patterns to heighten intensity. Vocally, the style is dynamic and raw, starting with a haunted, strained melodic delivery in the verses that builds into a desperate, powerful, and guttural roar in the chorus and bridge, conveying a sense of pure, visceral despair. Horrorcore.

Lyrics
I do not understand!
These thoughts are not my own!
Is this static in my head?
Or a broadcast from the dead?
A signal buried deep inside
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I built my temple, brick by brick
So self-assured, so quick, so slick
This ivory tower, mine alone
My reflection on the throne
These curated thoughts, a perfect design
Every polished crack, precisely mine
A fortress built on "I" and "me"
The only god I'd ever be
But the walls are cracking, whispers bleed
Planting a parasitic seed
This echo chamber's losing sound
As ancient waters flood the ground
I do not understand!
These thoughts are not my o-o-own!
A stranger's memory, a ghost's regret
A thousand faces I have never met
Their triumphs and their shames unfold
A story that was never told
I see a life I didn't live
A love I didn't have to give
Familiar sorrows, not my own
On this path I walk alone
But the walls are cracking, whispers bleed
Planting a parasitic seed
This echo chamber's losing sound
As ancient waters flood the ground
What are these thoughts that are not mine?
A broken mirror, a fractured sign
The "ME" I was is stripped away
A hollow shell on display
The walls are cracking, whispers bleed!
Planting a parasitic seed!
This echo chamber's lost its sound!
As ancient waters flood the ground!
I do not understand!
These thoughts are not my own...
I am a chorus, not a voice
I have no say, I have no choice
Just a vessel for the tide
There is no "me" left inside.
