"This album is a testament to almost 4 years of producing, while still not finding what I truly enjoy making. Perhaps, one could say I'm lost. But at the same time, I've been lost forever yet I've never felt like it was truly a problem."

COUNTERFEST HEROES aims at exploring niche subcultures, whether they take root from otaku or worldwide cultures. We are looking for both fully original songs, original songs with intense sampling of existing songs, as well as arrangements and remixes.
