Yeah, I simply put the previous record especially was such a channeling of me deciphering external influences. And, um, I felt that, uh, even though I, I mean, I'm, I'm super proud of impair. I thought that that, that, That was the record that I wanted to do at the time. Nothing wrong with that. But I felt not at all inspired to go back and make, you know, a sequel to that, like an Impera 2.

Even though, I mean, obviously there's plenty of fodder if you want to have, like, continue down that path. But I just felt that that's not inspiring. That's not, it doesn't. that is simply not what I need. And, and, and therefore, hence, I don't think that that's what my people like people are interested in what I think, feel or need, either.
