And I’m still enjoying these! Some highlights for me:
The transitions between whispering and full-throated singing in “We do not wish to advance”, it’s like something out of my dreams
The building-to-break-the-heavens vibe of the “Nihil supernum” anthem
Tarrrrrski! Has me notice that shared reality about wanting to believe what is true is very relaxing. And I desperately want this one to be a music video, yo ho
It’s probably not intended, but I always imagine that in “We do not wish to advance”, first the singer whispers sweet nothings to the alignment community, then the shareholder meeting starts and so: glorius-vibed music: “OPUS!!!” haha
Nihil supernum was weird because the text was always pretty somber for me. I understood it to mean to express the hardship of those living in a world without any safety nets trying to do good, ie. us, yet the music, as you point out, is pretty empowering.This combination is (to my knowledge) kinda uncommon and so interesting for me. As it happens, my favourite powermetal band also has music with this combination, eg The Things We Believe In.
Yes, combining Litany of Tarski with a pirate vibe works surprisingly well. I guess it might not be that surprising if we consider that the job of a pirate usually requires a mind accurate enough to track truth well and resilient enough to adapt to hard circumstances..

That was indeed the intended effect!
