Ascend

by Elevate The Sky

desikins This album is amazingly uplifting. From the musicality and vocals to the very lyrics themselves, anything feels possible with Elevate the Sky. Favorite track: Carry The Light (Truth).

palehorse666 uplifting, heroic, and mind bending. this is one of the best produced, pitch perfect synthwave releases this year. the title track just GOES from the starting gorgeous synth arpeggios, to the 80's rock inspired vocals, and that insane guitar solo. it took me 20 minutes to get past the damn track. a contender for my synthwave song of the year. not that the whole album isn't amazing; it surely is. I just think Ascend is the standout track, hands down. Favorite track: Ascend (Into The Night).

turboknight Fantastic work by a very talented artist. You can really hear the time spent on making this gem. Good luck to you with your brand new album mate! Favorite track: Dream Accelerator 2.0.

(City Of Angels) (Verse) In the shadows surrounded by all the light Forgotten world hidden away from virgin eyes Departed faith A crumbling empire no longer sustained breached by the hand, The very hand that stirred the waves In a sea of lies Where do we go when we fall Static in a city of angels lost Imprisoned by the desire to need Bound by the demon we feed Lost faith, Lost angels Reaching for the shore Reaching for hope, reaching for us
