Bingo. I hate Kione BECAUSE she’s an incredibly well written character. God’s perfect dipshit.

Although, in a moment of stray thought, the idea of a captured Kione arc flashed before my eyes. That shit would be peak. Not even houndbreaking her just fucking up her mental so bad and sending her back to Knossos totally broken and useless. World of dogs? Yeah bitch, YOU.

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

If Kione had that shit used against her I think she would literally paint the inside of her cockpit red too. Taste of her own medicine = taste of her service weapon

I won’t dive too deep into that one because it’s all pretty self evident. If you DID want some Handler-coded songs you should check out these: I Am Colossus The Hurt That Finds You First Sane And for a little bonus song about Knossos, check out Monstrocity! Thanks again, byeeeeeeeee :3

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Also, this song transitions perfectly into The Mouth Licking What You’ve Bled. It’s really a great encapsulation of Handlers status as the “apex parasite”. HOWEVER, I think it fits a lot more cleanly with Meetra Kotys. She’s a lot better example of a common parasite. Handler is anything but common.

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Anyways! That was Neurotica. I hope you’ll listen to it for yourself and form your own opinions. I’m clearly way too close to the subject matter to be objective. Let me know what you think! Thanks again for reading my unhinged ramblings :3

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It’s almost one for one what that final section of SHOWHOUND feels like to me. Just non-stop punishing, soul-crushing weight. Each chug is an another shovelful of dirt, poured directly onto the coffin. I may be out of my mind here but this shit means something to me truly. 15/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

And then? The dream ends. The music here is something special. It’s just singular, unrelenting chugs of unchanging certainty. They go on for too long. It’s a death march. All the color has been stripped from the world. This will last forever. It is the sound of Handler’s victory dance. 14/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Infinite regret comes forward to meet her again. A vision of Ancyor is poised to devour her. So she runs back again, back to what she hopes will be the soporific control of Handler. The music here really fucking goes with this part. Sprinting down the halls as Ancyor shreds reality behind. 13/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

come crawling back to fight over her thoughts. Once, she was alive. At Hebros, in 100 other battles besides. But here, in the halls of the dead, she is begging for another chance to choose. But lurking in the darkness, stalking down the halls, she is watched by scorching eyes.

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

She’s always been like this. Always had a choice. Even in the past, as a hero, she chose her fate. But the illusion of Handlers love turns her fear into more power and that power only brings pain. In permanent solitude, unable to connect with even her closest allies, ghosts from her past… 12/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

She is frozen in time. Unable to move on from the past but held solid in the ‘future’. Her talent has been stolen and used for the goals of the empire. All of her love, heroism, hope is dead, draped in a thin sheet of fantasy, holding it‘s ghost inside. She dreams of Thezea Celik… 11/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Ok, then we get into the real meat. Sartha. Particularly post-SHOWHOUND Sartha. It reminds me a lot of SHOW particularly because we are finally stepping back inside her and realizing how very lost she is. She is also dead inside. Her soul, long distant, speaks again from within the labyrinth. 10/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

The next short verse is about Leinth. (or possibly Amynta, but I relate it a lot more to my goat the HUNTING HOUND) Her soul has been split surgically in two. The shell of who she once was is easily thrown off to reveal the self-cannibalizing twin wolves inside. (Catch33 is about her too imo :3) 9/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

with Kiones manic “cool” energy in a way that really clicks with me. The next verse is heralded by a rumbling, growling bass break that I CANNOT separate in my mind from the sound of Genetor. Rattling the ground and approaching steadily before exploding into erratic but controlled violence. 8/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Overall, she’s lying to herself. She NEEDS this power, she needs ownership of Amynta. It motivates her. Though she may believe herself to be a god amongst hounds, she’s no better than them, still submitting to Handler’s will. Musically this section is great, quite bouncy and fun. It matches 7/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

nothing. ‘The progressives’ here could mean the hounds, eyes glazed over staring into nothing, or it could mean the common people she sees as lesser. Their default state is submission, in her eyes. But she would be nothing without them. They animate her, giving her life in her post-death state. 6/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Her forfeit cause (rebellion, mercenary work, even Sartha) has been assimilated into the empire, she’s simply playing the part. She’s willing to bow just for taste of her reward, whether that be Sartha or Amynta. She is master and servant in equal measure. She serves the empire and it serves /5

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

If you REALLY wanna get nitty-gritty with it, Theaboros (her vessel of confusion) has been refitted with comms jamming equipment, literally MUTING the enemy. Again, some of this is getting WAY too literal with poetic language but every part of it feels like it connects to my obsessive brain. 4/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

The first verse, I think, is so Kione coded it hurts. She’s a *daughter* of the vortex. (Sartha, black hole, you get it) Like I discussed in my last post, she is reborn in RESCUE by Sartha’s hand. She has been subdued and repressed by Handler and elevated to godlike status because of it. 3/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

So, I think this song is a great encapsulation of the internal struggles of the main ‘hound squad’ particularly post-SHOWHOUND. Kione, Leinth, and Sartha, each trapped in their own little mental prison, fighting themselves at every turn. Ready for some serious rambles? cuz this one is dense. 2/

100

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Ok! Thanks for the great responses on the last one! Up next is another one that connects so effortlessly. Neurotica. Spoilers for all of #WARHOUND through SHOWHOUND and maybe a little bit of Archon. This song is quite dense, lyrically and I think it’s multiple split POV’s. 1/?

110

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Honestly, I could write an easy about every song on Chaosphere, connecting it to WH. Leinth: Concatenation, Exquisite Machinery. Knossos: Corridor of Chameleons, Sane. Kotys: TMLWYB. I have something specific in mind for Neurotica though… that song has so much sauce. More to come.

Sartha: the New Millennium Cyanide Christ? she's definitely a "carnal, organic anagram" made to fit the gaze of whoever looks at her, and has eradicated the "fake, pre-present" her. whether or not she's here to "redeem all from lies" probably depends on your perspective of Handler's kind of baptism

111

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Oh don’t worry… we’ll fucking get there. It doesn’t fit perfectly, NMCC is a lot more about PHYSICALLY changing one’s body to fit the state of mind. But oh yeah, it’s there… depending on how Sartha’s story continues, we will certainly see. “Follow the god of cyanide into the new eternity”

Oh shit, thanks! I’m just an obsessive and a mental connector. It’s your words doing the heavy lifting.

011

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Anyways, that’s just one example of many. Some songs are more specific character focused, some are more thematic, some just sync up perfectly with my own vision of the scene. I’ll probably get into more in the coming days. If you’ve read this far, thank you. I can’t keep this shit contained anymore.

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

There’s more to say, I think every single word in this song can be directly tied to the story in a beautiful way. But I’m already going on far too long for one song. Musically it’s also very connected, especially the end section. The stars singing over the pulse of the void. It’s good shit. 13/

140

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

But there, once all has been devoured, is Sartha. The black hole. The void will free her from this fate, she believes. Their loop is complete, Sartha will devour Kione and Kione will pour herself into Sartha. Kione is reborn. A lifeless, soulless thing, made in Her image. Stillborn. 12/

140

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

This section, to me, connects to Kione looking up, and seeing the stars. Realizing that Her hand has been guiding this whole process. Seeing the great hound, jaws wide, swallowing her whole. It’s a funeral shroud for all of her hopes and dreams. Putting them to rest permanently. Killing her. 11/

130

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

end, Kione, who will be begging. And it will hurt, in every way. Then there’s this line, about insanity flowing through your veins. Through the bruises and ligature marks, scars of bondage both mental and physical. I mean cmon folks, I hope you can understand why I connect this shit. 10/

130

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

She also just sacrificed someone for the sake of her own pride and survival. Trading the life of an ally for her own perverted ascension. I like to think Vola is there, in this moment, ‘lingering in the shadows’. Kione believes that Sartha will crave her, beg her to stay. It’s obviously, in the 9/

140

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

She thinks she’s changing Sartha, in the moment, but her realignment has already been completed, and cannot be undone. Honestly, wild move Kione, dosing yourself with “the drug that makes you lose your humanity” just to test the dosage. You’re crazy, girl. Do whatcha gotta do I guess. 8/

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

the center of Sarha. Changing herself permanently into what she thinks Sartha needs her to be. She is realigning the weaponry of her mind, burning away all doubt. Carving out a piece of herself and tossing it into the black hole. Throwing away her humanity in an attempt to become something more 7/

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

With all of that background out of the way let’s start with a fairly obvious example, at least to my rotted brain. RESCUE HOUND Ch.8 and Ligature Marks. This chapter is about changing. Kione is stepping beyond the pale, into Sartha’s world. She learns what she believes to be the truth at 6/

I should also say, these are just my thoughts and opinions as a weird little psycho. My interpretations and analysis are not concrete. I love to hear anyone else’s interpretations! (Music-based or not) Take all of this as the ramblings of a sick dog and maybe you’ll find it a lil interesting. 5/

There will, by necessity, be unmarked spoilers for all of @kallidorarho.bsky.social’s work. However I will try to open with what chapter I’m talking about at the beginning of each so you can avoid spoilers. As always, READ WARHOUND. It’s incredible, you won’t regret it. 4/

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

And unbelievably heavy. You don’t necessarily have to like the music or even endure it to follow my thoughts here. I just believe that thematically, sonically, and tonally they share so much territory. I know I’m currently preaching to literally nobody right now but my brain is bubbling over 3/

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Let’s start with a little background. When I first started reading WH I was just starting what would soon become a bit of an obsession with Meshuggah. They’re an incredible band, unlike anything else in their precision and crushing ferocity. To me, this IS the sound of WARHOUND. Punishing, dense 2/

160

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I’m gonna do it. I’m going to post my Meshuggah x WARHOUND thoughts. I have so fucking many of them. It’s an obsession I’ve milked for months. Some of these may be straight up schizophrenic in their connections but I swear once you start down this rabbit hole it never ends. #WARHOUND #Meshuggah 1/?

A black hole.

Kione’s arms fall limp to her sides. It’s beyond hypnotic. More beautiful than all the stars, and more terrible. She could look it at forever, and perhaps she will. Perhaps she already has. There’s something calming about the black hole. It scared her, but only at first. Then it took her fear into its heart and stretched it beyond breaking point. In its presence, the great hound of the stars is forgotten and Kione is no longer afraid. She sighs gladly. Blood drips from her nose. She watches the black hole’s glowing arms spin and spin.

“The lives of all they occupy. Their eyes in dismal gloom The all-piercing, dead oculi - mirrors of our doom Oblivious to the trespass as you gaze into the black The demon of surveillance insultingly staring back - Into you“ Hey maybe I should actually start posting all my WH x Meshuggah thoughts…

*Richard III voice* “One gun, one single gun, my ego totems for a gun” the as of yet unnamed hound would say if she could speak.

void @voidisadog.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It’s like Genetor… but much less tanky and less well armed… and with a worse pilot… and without a head. But what it lacks in everything else it makes up for in “aura” or at least that’s what Xanthe tried to pitch to a very distracted Handler who was too busy 3D printing Sartha’s to care.
