@ewaarnett Thanks a lot. I tried to balance out the strong vocalisation in the first half of the song.

that tone is so chunky and delicious! love the rhythms

Once Upon a Time

Rocking Gnossienne’25 (feat. Gary Hayward) breathes new life into the original instrumental released back in 2021.
This 2025 edition spins the familiar melodies into a fresh lyrical dimension — with words penned and passionately performed by the talented Australian artist Gary Hayward (@gary-hayward-volt-edge).
An atmospheric fusion where Satie meets guitars, and poetry finds its rhythm.

Rocking Gnossienne'25 (feat. Gary Hayward)

A new song I wrote under a title waiting in the drawer for a longer time now. I already made a cover ilustration for it, so I was looking forward to record something. "Orbis exterior" a tale of a journey through the unknown and sole desertion of hope and faith in the future.

*lyrics:

There's one way in
And one way out
The other side !

The voices I recognize
Trapped inside
Echo in my mind
Want me to stay

Want me to stay

Smells I know
Soak into the walls
Mysterious corridors
Nauseous !

I am not alone
Am I one of them, am I ?

Inside



The other side !

Mysterious walls bend and turn
Alone locked inside an empty world
Zest gave it's way to resignation
Every curve could end my peregrination

Orbis exterior

Produced by Taymxru
Mixed and Mastered by @JoshIGuess
Featuring @AkiraDoves

Lyrics:
akira: just suck me off
real good
I don't care anymore
just suck me off
and go real slow
and then go fast 
it's what I like

d34d: i miss your taste
cant stay away
she looks down upon me
as it starts to rain
she puts those flowers 
upon my grave
the worms eat my flesh
and the bones decay

akira: like the bite and the taste of your lips
take me home so we can fuck all night
i like when you cum
I liked when we fucked and fucked all night

just suck me off
real good
I don't care anymore
just suck me off
and go real slow
and then go fast 
it's what I like

d34d: her nails dig into my back
she gives me a heart attack
we poppin tabs and smokin gas
she said can i have some of that

we sittin at the lake 
but im trippin out my mind tho
i dont date no hoes
i only date psychos

she pulled my head out 
of the war that i was fighting
i was all alone
shes the one that took a liking
when i look into her eyes
it feels so exciting
shes my other half
our souls are coinciding

just suck me off
real good
I don't care anymore
just suck me off
and go real slow
and then go fast 
thats what i like

what i like (feat. AkiraDoves)

This song's aesthetics were vaguely inspired by @holidaysintheusa  more spacey/ambient songs as well as these two videos:
https://youtu.be/i41mDWwydxo
https://youtu.be/Vmz-yFfkgdU

Be sure to check 'em out when you get the chance. 

The big cover art is by Małgorzata Lapsa-Malawska - Pretty badass in our opinion.

Anyway, thematically, it's about empathy. I don't think there is enough space to fully explain how we perceive this topic. But the story is specifically about how blind empathy can bite you in the ass if you're feeling empathy for a "monster", i.e. sociopath. Think "Red Riding Hood". 

Because these "monsters" will manipulate you into believing that they are  harmless and will cry begging for help and/or your empathy, and for you to understand and forgive all of the horrors they inflict on others, when in reality it's nothing but a ruse to reel you into their manipulation and inflict those horrors on you. 

In the real world, the story's situation can take many forms. At a personal level, most people have, or will be led on and manipulated by a sociopath. If you zoom out, however, there have been hundreds of studies that show that certain positions of power in our world are particularly attractive to sociopaths, simply because of the nature of the job. Politicians, CEOs, Surgeons, Police Officers, Preachers, etc... All these jobs have extreme levels of influence in the world we live in, and are all plagued by people who will go to extreme lengths to come out on top in every situation. But those, everyone knows about, and stands guard against the possibility of a monster among those. But, what about the downtrodden? The ones who appear weak? The ones that don't seem to have any influence whatsoever? Could these groups also have monsters among their ranks? If they do, only our empathy for their struggle is what empowers them and gives them the influence that every monster so intensely desires.

Why would Red Riding Hood consider the poor wolf a monster if it's just a sweet old lady?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Took the wrong turn 
Hiking in the woods
I do feel safe, but should head home soon

Faded song of birds
Fly towards the moon
For my own sake, I should head home soon

Silence ain't the word
Empathy was not my cure
I've strayed too far from my little commune

Faced now with a choice
To mend a mind's detours
I strained too hard, I should head home soon


In cold winds
Herald the silence of night
Cold winds
Speak in words of delight


I hear crying
Could it be infant? A child?
In distress? Alas...
Stuck in these woods, even I'm Oppressed 


I walk towards the sound
If anything, I'll help
It's already implied what this path entails

I'm here after all
And I know this path so well
I'm already inclined to what lies in it's trail


Strong winds
Bring the loudest invites
But no wind
Now even the owls gone quiet


I hear grunts
What is it? I can tell it is no child
Disguised, it was lies
Alone in these woods, Monsters, too, can cry


[Bridge]


And so I see how I was wrong
Betrayed by my own heart
I hoped to see the Light, instead I find the Dark

Monsters too do beg for life
But only once they've been caught
I can't bear to describe what I found in the Dark


I squint
To see the coldest of eyes
In a pool of red
Here, even the Devil is pale white

Monsters, Too, Can Cry

Tarantula (demo)

Bahama.

As the wind blows through the trees.
As the silence starts to break.
As the dawn is facing forward.
Passing time, prepared to wait.
While a crow is looking over.
As you're making your mistakes.
You hide your face.
Hide your face.

If tomorrow wasn't certain.
Would you still behave this way?
As there is no way of knowing.
Could you live on in disgrace?
As the current representative of the dead who lost their way.
You hide your face.
Better hide your face.

Can the sunshine ever touch upon.
The darkness at the heart.
Will the ancestors forgive you for your
mistakes at the start.
As the crows begin to circle.
All their eyes fixed in one place.
Better hide your face.
Hide your face.

Bahama.

When you're running down the white lines.
When you can not see the stars.
When you can not stop them watching.
When you can not fall apart.
Oh, should there be a knocking.
On the window in the morn.
You have been warned.
Better get things done.

Bahama.

And should you go a-walking in the trees.
Be careful not to show them any fear.
And it might be a crow at your window.
The Dead have nothing to teach us, so let it go.
Just let it go.

=========================================

Lyrics:

(I) waited too long for a savior.
(I) only saw a fraud.
(What can you hope for ?)
(They) fully control our behaviors.
I'm sure it's part of the clause .
(I) look down when I see my neighbor.
It's for the good cause.
(Nothingness is yours !) 
I don't need my thoughts anymore.
All is about to explode ! 

Your gentle words made me lose my faith.
(You're not strong enough !!! You' re not strong enough!!!)
Your pride has only increased my hate.
(I can only laugh !!! I can only laugh !!!)
I will no longer decide my fate. 
(I will never stop !!! I will never stop !!!)
We take part of this mess !

We are buried by our fathers, enslaved by our misery. (Face your enemy !)
Ready to the new order, end of our destiny.
Lies will be our only answer,  you will never be sorry. (Real fatality !) 
Stay away...No one is safe, end of the story.

(We) like to fuck ourselves for glory.
(To) become the next king.
(This is guarantee  !)
(To) be the best, we kneel for money. 
Greed is just the beginning !

I know there is nothing left to save.
(Welcome to this game ! Welcome to this game !)
My own life is a waste !

We are buried by our fathers, enslaved by our misery. (Face your enemy !)
Ready to the new order, end of our destiny.

(Lies ! Lies ! Lies !.................)
Domination...Confiscation...Condemnation...Sequestration.
This is what they need ! This is what we need ! This what you need !This is what I need !

I decided to become your slave. 
(It's the only choice !!! It's the only choice!!!)
I must resolve to stay in my grave. 
(I won't hear your voice  !!! I won't hear your voice  !!!)
I will entrust my life to the brave. 
(You are just a toy !!! You are just a toy !!!)
We fall into disgrace ! 

We are buried by our fathers, enslaved by our misery. (Face your enemy !)
Ready to the new order, end of our destiny.
Lies will be our only answer,  you will never be sorry. (Real fatality !) 
Stay away...No one is safe, end of the story.

We are only toys ! We are only toys ! We are only toys ! We are only toys !
