Flux Tendu x Station Station @ Point Ephémère - 02 Apr feat. Calamity
-
I'm sorry DM Dokuro for not being part of the community and not defending you when you were harassed by breathing trash bags, your music is absolutely brilliant. I do not know whether you consumed Auric soul or not, but this is god-tier.

I killed Exo Mechs, thus finishing the mod.
I def recommend, it was a great experience. Calamity is great and I loved the experience and lore. Maybe just start with Expert Revengence tho, instead of Death mode, like me.
Some ending notes:
1. Miracle matter have not enough uses and weaponry made from it is bad.
2. Vivid Clarity, a weapon I really really couldn't wait to get my hands on, is below average. Elemental Ray remains my single most loved weapon ever. And it doesn’t feel like a worthy successor.
3. Sylve staff, besides being trans🏳️⚧️ is also pretty cool. But its a shame shadowspec bars do not require miracle matter. They really should. And they're also too powerful to be on the same tier as Exo weapons.PS. If someone wants to play the mod, there are a couple of must-have mods:
- Magic Storage. Single best storage solution in *any* game.
- Recipe Browser. Quick and easy way to search for recipes. I binded it to ~, to not get in my way when I don’t need it.
- Auto Fisher. Fishing is bad and boring.And lastly, optional-but-not-really, we have Fargo's Mutant mod. A big collection of QoL changes that really make the game nicer to play.
Also, if you do not play Calamity, shorter respawn time mod is also a must-have (Calamity includes it OOTB).
-
I defeated Calamitas. My heart is pounding so hard...
-
I wonder if its possible to kill Exo Mechs with a landmower
-
Honestly, Calamity is such a great mod overall. I cannot recommend it enough. Maybe just don't start with death mode like me. A lot of QoL changes, nice bosses.
I rec playing it with Magic Storage, Recipe browser, auto-fisher and Fargo's Mutant mods.
-
I tried Exo Mechs
First thing: WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING SO MANY LASERS AND PROJECTILES
Second thing: wow
Third thing: even tho DM Dokuro wasn't the one composing the music, it's not bad.
I also tried Witch. And I dealt 0 damage.
-
Yharon killed. That was a great fight.

A quotation from George Carlin
And now, ladies and gentlemen, that we’ve enjoyed some good times this evening, and enjoyed some laughter together, I feel it is my obligation to remind you of some of the negative, depressing, dangerous, life-threatening things that life is really all about; things you have not been thinking about tonight, but which will be waiting for you as soon as you leave the theater or as soon as you turn off your television sets. Anal rape, quicksand, body lice, evil spirits, gridlock, acid rain, continental drift, labor violence, flash floods, rabies, torture, bad luck, calcium deficiency, falling rocks, cattle stampedes, bank failure, evil neighbors, killer bees, organ rejection, lynching, toxic waste, unstable dynamite, religious fanatics, prickly heat, price fixing, moral decay, hotel fires, loss of face, stink bombs, bubonic plague, neo-Nazis, friction, cereal weevils, failure of will, chain reaction, soil erosion, mail fraud, dry rot, voodoo curse, broken glass, snake bite, parasites, white slavery, public ridicule, faithless friends, random violence, breach of contract, family scandals, charlatans, transverse myelitis, structural defects, race riots, sunspots, rogue elephants, wax buildup, killer frost, jealous coworkers, root canals, metal fatigue, corporal punishment, sneak attacks, peer pressure, vigilantes, birth defects, false advertising, ungrateful children, financial ruin, mildew, loss of privileges, bad drugs, ill-fitting shoes, widespread chaos, Lou Gehrig’s disease, stray bullets, runaway trains, chemical spills, locusts, airline food, shipwrecks, prowlers, bathtub accidents, faulty merchandise, terrorism, discrimination, wrongful cremation, carbon deposits, beef tapeworm, taxation without representation, escaped maniacs, sunburn, abandonment, threatening letters, entropy, nine-mile fever, poor workmanship, absentee landlords, solitary confinement, depletion of the ozone layer, unworthiness, intestinal bleeding, defrocked priests, loss of equilibrium, disgruntled employees, global warming, card sharks, poisoned meat, nuclear accidents, broken promises, contamination of the water supply, obscene phone calls, nuclear winter, wayward girls, mutual assured destruction, rampaging moose, the greenhouse effect, cluster headaches, social isolation, Dutch elm disease, the contraction of the universe, paper cuts, eternal damnation, the wrath of God, and PARANOIA!!

From Dying Suns – Calamity Review
By Dolphin Whisperer
Before I even laid eyes once on the glorious pixel art that adorns Calamity, From Dying Suns had sold me on their debut promise of progressive death metal. Hailing from the great French north of Quebec, and pulling performers whose live credentials include heavyweights like First Fragment, Augury, and Obliveon, this side-scrolling informed album, this full-length offering stood before itself with veteran swagger. It’d be amiss to call this a supergroup, though, as many of the associated acts that comprise this mostly untested group—a single EP from a while back under their banner—staked their claim separate from the contributions of the names on roster here. From Dying Suns, then, has something to prove in this fairly crowded field of high bombast, high-tech strain of noodle-strewn death arts. But have they enough quarters to see it all the way through?
Whatever From Dying Sun may lack in quarters, they make up for in sheer exuberance for their brand of bass-forward, rifftacular technical, and melodic death metal. At least, that’s what Calamity comes off as to me. Much in the same vein as thrash-tempo arpeggio-rippers like the early works of Revocation and Arsis, each track across this fret-exhausting offering—the sweep-and-slay of “Calamity” to the classic Gothenburg descent of “Undergrowth”—can’t stop delivering riffs. To prevent from being too exhausting, though, From Dying Suns rips a page out of their local scene, reminiscent of acts like the brutally elegant Neuraxis or the wailing-yet-churning Martyr, often leading with an upfront refrain or lead to signal fresh beginnings. And I know I already mentioned that From Dying Suns takes their low-end seriously, but I cannot stress enough how forward Christian Pacaud (Contemplator, Aeternum1 to avoid falling into a trap of their own multithread weaving. Tracks that deliver moments of skronky chord-based progressions (“Turn Undead,” “Ruination”) help to break the smattering of hyperspeed pull-offs and precision-tuned arpeggion runs serve as sugar-rush fodder for those with a wanky sweet tooth. And mid-album ambient segue “Respite” too lulls the ever-feeding fingers and picks that From Dying Suns fuels liberally.
Despite finding a rollicking home in the arrays of tablature challenges that Calamity carves, I often find my mind drifting toward what From Dying Suns channels rather than the unique theme for which the band aims. This work contains many elements that attack the genre from an angel that other bands don’t—the practiced and forceful bass rhythms, Mathieu Dhani’s (Killitorous, Épiphanie) wild and whipping shrieks and howls—and it’s impossible to ignore the level of skill on display. But at the moments where it aims to hook the hardest, namely with simpler chorus structures and vocal patterns, many of the most impressive moments across Calamity begin to blur amongst the most memorable moments among heavy hitters like Arsis or The Black Dahlia Murder. Granted, these bands command respect, and music that resembles theirs is often good music. But when the theme visually pops on the page, and the band reinforces that Calamity is a hero’s journey through a landscape inspired by their favorite video games, I’d rather find my way through a soundscape that resembles that rather than just good melotech.
Nevertheless, From Dying Suns can’t help but charm with their aesthetic and musical command. Tonally, Calamity has a strong enough presence on its own to steer toward its own lane from up-and-comers in the same competitive space, names you may have heard in these halls like Carnosus or Xoth. And, like those acts, From Dying Suns, despite not capturing strongly the specifics of their narrative, maintains a playfulness that owes to the digital lands that they’ve mused about with Calamity. I’ve got confidence that From Dying Suns is far from closing the cover on this swinging battlefield of fanciful death metal. So even if this debut full-length isn’t quite it, its future sequel surely lurks around the corner waiting to strike.
