Octohawk’s sophomore album takes the listener out of the prehistoric world from »Animist« and into the current and future era of determinism: humanity has left the world of mysteries, wonders, and chance. In a reality where all is calculated, analyzed, and predetermined, humans thrive on scientific progress, but at what cost? If everything is certain, humans have deprived themselves of the illusion of free will and the wonders of life.
»Determinist« is a synopsis of the deterministic era, from the humble experimental beginnings to the complete coalescence with ever-flowing information. Each of the seven tracks represents the significant stages in this endeavor, from man on the ground to being a part of the eternal stream.
This will hit fans of The Ocean, Mastodon, and Igorr right in the face – with expanded diversity, heavier, and more of the good stuff!
A video clip for the song »Quantum Age« can be checked out at this location! Quantum age – the birth of dataism. The dominant human has gained knowledge to foresee future lines. Intellectual tools are embraced, but will it lead to prosperity or the meltdown of our civilization?
