“Red Giant Protocol is a "An epic musical experience unlike any other." and "a stunning showcase of CMD.EXE’s incredible musical vision.” - Kat Lattimore
“There is a considerable difference between an album that simply contains fourteen good songs and an album that actually functions as a single, deliberately sequenced transmission, and CMD.EXE has clearly built Red Giant Protocol as the latter.”
“CMD.EXE [is] among the most imaginative voices currently working in cinematic electronic music.”
“There are plenty of artists who use science fiction as an aesthetic. CMD.EXE uses it as a way to ask deeply human questions.”
“Its fusion of industrial guitars, cinematic electronics, darkwave atmosphere, and deeply affecting storytelling results in a track that feels as immersive as it is thought-provoking.” - Naomi Joan
“CMD.EXE has accomplished something increasingly rare in modern music… ‘Thanatophobia’ is intellectually engaging, emotionally devastating, and beautifully written”
“Red Giant Protocol is a big, unwieldy swing of a concept album, and it mostly earns that ambition through sheer conviction.” - Abdelrahman Khaled
“CMD.EXE continues to create a unique creative realm where music and tale meet.” - The Strive Team
“This album will likely resonate with fans of multiple genres, making it a likely candidate for extensive streaming and exploration. As a musical project, “Red Giant Protocol” is not merely an album; it is a portal into another world.”
“Electronic music has always been a playground for imagination, but “Red Giant Protocol” takes that to another level. ” - Faith Koch
