Regular readers of “The Whole Kameese” know that we find an album that we are over the moon excited about , we want to shout it from the rooftops. “Accidentally Funding The End Of The World “ , from Qualia and the Five Ancestors of the Great Maryland Kingdom, is definitely one of those albums.

Formed in Athens, Greece in 2016, QUALIA quickly made waves in the local scene with their debut single The Overview Effect(2017), followed by their first album in 2018 released with support from Polyscope Music. Featuring standout tracks like Mr. S (Is a Snake Merchant) and Vantablack, the band blended elements of technical skate punk, mathcore breakdowns, and an explosive mix of clean vocals and screams.

Over the years, QUALIA have shared stages with bands like Mute, Acid Snot, The Burnt Tapes, and Greek staples like Day Oof and The Overjoyed. In 2019, they toured Italy, performing at La Cabotina alongside Blowfuse and Lineout, and later joined Punk on Sea Vol. 2 in 2022 at Okio Cafe.

With Accidentally Funding the End of the World, QUALIA stick to their roots while pushing the envelope of their genre—expect surgical riffing, aggressive rhythms, and sharp, socially aware lyrics. The band continues to define and defy what technical punk rock can sound like.

“Accidentally Funding The End Of The World “ is a brilliantly crafted punk rock masterpiece. From start to finish our jaw was on the floor in complete amazement of the musical greatness that flowed out of the record.

The opening track, “Devil’s Garage”, is more than a song , it is an epic breathtaking melodic experience. We found ourselves singing along almost instantly.

“Dreams Of Blue, Deeds Of Red”, “Styrofoam ( Wasting Away)”, and “Rounding”, are some of our favorite tracks from the album. If we had to pick our absolute favorite track, it would be without question, “The Conversationalist”. We loved everything about the track, flawless vocals and the next level musicianship and playing on “The Conversationalist”, is off the charts.

Stop whatever you are doing and treat your ears to the absolute magic of , Accidentally Funding The End Of The World “, from Qualia and the Five Ancestors of the Great Maryland Kingdom. You won’t be disappointed.
