August 8, 2025

After 6 months of hiding in The Hills, interdimensional hitchhiker Rock Anderson has had enough and is leaving the commune for good. But King Buford has other plans, and when a civil war is launched across Guyamar, Rock must decide whether he wants to continue running or face the King himself. And the tyrannous King is not alone: at his side is Bagman, a portal-crafting wizard born out of a test tube experiment gone sideways, overpowered only by the creator of King Buford himself, an all-powerful, cynical god-creature known only as The Maruchan Man. But Rock makes some allies of his own along the way: a friend made in The Hills named Finlo; A centuries-old scientist who was banished from the mainland to the island city of South Pointe named Dr. Wilson; and an ancient cult sworn to protect the portals (with whom he may have dealt with in the past) all prove to be pivotal in his journey from The Hills to Baytu... the only question that remains is whether or not he will crack once he gets there.

(P.S.... try pairing this with our 2023 record 'Buford's Revenge,' but sequence this entire album in between "King Buford's Revenge" and "The Battle of Baytu." Skip "Some Time..." and thank us later.)
