Blaze Goldburst
“Reversed Order Existence will trace you and chase...”
Blaze Goldburst, Reversed Order Existence

Keith Kekic
“These streets belong to us because we decided not to punch the time clock. We decided to see what and f*ck is going on out here when all those other people are going to sleep. So we walk from dusk until dawn and we rule.”
Keith Kekic, Nightwalkers
