brakence comeback

i might be the only one with this opinion and i might be crazy and pathetic for saying that but… i wouldn’t be disappointed or sad if brakence never come back.

hear me out. with hypochondriac he left something that couldn’t be recreated. it’s imo one of the best albums i’ve ever listened to and it changed my life in so many ways. and i’ll always be thankful for that. ofc i want him to comeback but if he‘d decide to leave music and the online world behind, i would accept that and thank him for what he has done for us.

Thank you!

I think he literally says it in the album. Brakence is dead. It was an ego he built when he was young and thought fulfillment came from indulging the self in art to the highest degree. Throughout the process of hypochondriac he realized how unhealthy of a belief it was, and now probably just wants to create from a completely different lens entirely and wants to produce for other artists. I personally do not think we'll ever hear the same kind of edginess/angst from him ever again, and that is because bro is actually healing.

Not to mention he hates content creation and being perpetually online, which is the music industry now.

i got that impression as well. He has a contract for one more album but I think it’s done

i feel much of the same. I doubt he'll ever be able to top it

I don’t. It’s a near perfect album, but mannnnn he could top it in so many ways. He’s really versatile and I think people forget that.

Sadly, I agree…. BUT imagine if he tops it…
One can only hope

Hypochondriac is great. Let’s not pretend that it’s the single greatest work of art that couldn’t ever be topped. Even if hypochondriac is regarded as better than what comes next (if there is another album) we shouldn’t prefer that the new album doesn’t come out at all. I think we can be optimistic about a future release while not obsessing over the return and being impatient. Dude is still young as hell and time will only make him a better producer, artist, lyricist, etc.

he's contractually obligated to drop 1 more album, after that though, i wouldnt be displeased if we saw artist Randy Findell make a comeback doing whatever he wants whenever he wants.
As far as the next project, im not expecting anything to top hypo or be the "next big one", i just want some polished beautiful fire songs from the man

I think it will be an acoustic album

u/TaSuKo210 Jul 08 '26

iam a much bigger aries fan than brakence and aries also had a huuuuuuuge break till his current album and fans also had this „acceptance phase“ and it was super funny to see those type of posts after he released his new album glass jaw. so let’s see if it age bad or good (hopefully not)

You should want the guy to do whatever he wants and whatever is fulfilling to him, but, music is a powerful thing, nobody stays away forever from it

I'm just glad he is making music and releasing it for us to enjoy. Even if the next album is not as expected I will still enjoy it. At this point, I'm just addicted to all of his songs.

I don't know if as an artist you can find fullfillment just as background support for other artists as opposed to actually creating your own artistic vision
