Cursed melodies, possessed singers, graveyard debts and ancient oaths. Welcome to the darkness that never dies.

Tales from the Void

A chilling gothic folk horror ballad, "The Lumberjack's Oath" weaves a tale of fevered promises, frozen graves, and the forest's vengeful return—where a dying lumberjack swears to scout beyond death and comes back transformed by the woods themselves. Blending working-class grit with ancient folklore, this dark Americana nightmare reminds us: some oaths bind forever, and the trees remember every cut.

The Lumberjack's oath

A crushing Southern Gothic metal onslaught, "Graveyard Rent" channels Demon Americana fury through heavy palm-muted riffs, demonic banjo scratches, and whiskey-ravaged preacher vocals—demanding payment from the dead who never forgive. This riff-driven nightmare of family curses, overdue debts, and graveyard vengeance blends aggressive chicken pickin', slide howls, and sludge breakdowns into pure sonic oppression.

Graveyard Rent

A hauntingly slow Dark Americana ballad, "Same Bend,  Same Note" traps the listener in an eternal loop of futile repetition—swinging the same axe, driving the same bend, chasing unresolved notes that echo into infinity. With whispering layers, infinite slide guitar echoes, and a fixed twilight sun, this gothic folk nightmare explores hell not as fire, but as perfect, unchanging routine where beauty fades yet the motion never ends.  #DarkAmericana #GothicFolk #EternalLoop #RepetitiveHell #ExistentialBallad #TragicFolk

The same Bend, the same Note

A brooding Southern Gothic blues ballad, "Dirt Road Crossroads" revisits the classic devil's bargain twenty years later—fame's hollow price coming due under a harvest moon, with mournful fiddle requiems, weeping slide guitar, and raw gravelly vocals painting fateful regret and inevitable collection. Rag'n'Bone Man depth meets Tyler Childers storytelling in this ominous tale of sold souls and borrowed glory.  #SouthernGothic #DirtRoadCrossroads #DevilBargain #DarkAmericana #BluesBallad #OccultFolk

Dirt Road Cross Roads

A chilling Shadow Folk incantation from the cursed Appalachian hollows, "Cursed Melodies" warns of ancient songs unearthed from coffin wood—haunting tunes that possess singers, plant seeds of night, and turn souls black with unstoppable darkness. Delivered in a deep, gravelly White Buffalo-style baritone over acoustic guitar, distant fiddle, banjo whispers, and mountain wind drones, this slow-burning dread ballad embodies forbidden hymns that wait in the fog to claim new voices. #DarkAmericana #ShadowF  #CursedMelodies #AppalachianHorror #OccultFolk #GothicBallad

Cursed Melodies

A harrowing Dark Americana confession, "I Am the Host" chronicles a man's unwilling role as vessel for a demon that corrupts holy light in everyone he loves—forcing self-imposed exile to protect them from his poisonous touch. With themes of damnation worn like skin, curdling blessings, and sacrificial loneliness, this gothic folk nightmare blends tragic isolation with possessive horror.

I am the host

3:00 AM. You can’t move.
He’s standing at the foot of your bed.
Wide-brimmed hat. No face. Just shadow wearing a man.
Millions have seen him. Grandma in ’44. Dad in ’73. Now you.
This is the song he doesn’t want you to finish.
Playlist: Tales from the Void

Hatman

Deep, gravelly male lead vocal, every syllable dragged from frozen lungs, slow and haunted. Ethereal distant female ghost harmonies and whispers in canon. Drop B low-tuned acoustic guitar, sparse fingerpicked banjo that cracks like breaking bone, bowed double bass drone, cold tremolo mandolin, sparse chilling piano chords, jaw harp bends, wind howl, crow calls. Extremely slow 34 BPM, night-bound mountain sorcery, inescapable dread, old-Appalachian curse atmosphere.

Storytellers curse

Forty years in the dark, and the mountain still remembers her name.
A white dress in tunnel seven. A mother’s curse in every vein of coal.
Now the new boys follow a little girl’s voice deeper than any map goes… and they never come back the same.
This is the sound of stone that’s learned to sing.
