The End of an Era

The End of an Era is the tenth studio album by the American metal band Kairos. It was released in June 2028.

Recording and Production
Recording began midway through 2027. "We had several pieces of music that we originally had planned for Alone: The Path to Victory before we were set on making it a concept album," said Michael. "As recording drew on, we realized that we really didn't have many ideas. We had some, enough for an album, but not much more. We collectively agreed that this would be our last album, and we structured it around that aspect. We definitely did not want to go out weakly."

Themes
The End of an Era was structured around the fact that it would be Kairos' last album. Because of this, the album focuses heavily on the legacy of the band and what they hope for the future. The song titles, when put together, tell a short message: "Reminisce in the art we have created. The powerful lion shall guide this generation. The hate we all share brings us all down. So please, for us, continue the revolution. Thank you."

"The End of an Era does many things" said Erika. "It reminds our fans of what we've given to them. It tells of our legacy as a powerful force of music, and that dwelling on the aspects of society that opposed us brought us down. In the end, even though we aren't making music, we are grateful for the support of our fans and we wish others would oppose the popular musical genres of today."

Reception
The End of an Era was met with positive reception. "Kairos' last album reminds us all of what the band was, and still is about," said one critic. "Every previous album is represented here to some degree, and while we are sad to see them go, if they are to go out like this, then they have succeeded."
