MUSIC: M. Graham; LYRICS: S. Eliot

This one had some dust blown off it a few times. I recorded the music in 2022 - the first metal song I'd written in...10-15 years? Mixing metal is hard as hell, and I restarted from scratch about 2-3 times as I was learning. A colleague of mine (who you can find online as Jackal Crow) lent his incredible lyrical and vocal talents. We worked so well on this that we have a few more in the works.

Took me over a year to get the time to really dive into it and polish it up, and then I decided I was going to release the 4 songs we have almost finished all at once as an EP. And with that single move I created an obstacle so large I couldn't even begin to surmount it. 

So I took 2 months off (not by choice, just entered a fugue state and finished every Soulsborne game), and then came back to it a few days ago and finished it. 

And here we are - the first song from a project called REFINERY. I hope this gets you through your work day.

Blood Red Rust

Welcome to the strange world of Jackal Crow. A masked artist with the visceral influence of Slipknot but with the colour and lateral thinking of Tool.. A creature combining the light and the dark sides of life with a visceral sound but esoteric ideals and ritualistic practices with a cyberpunk aesthetic and an avant-garde presentation to bring this strange music and visual art to life.

Greetings Metal Fan's , I'm dedicated to my love of loud grinding guitars,rolling bass and banging drums that are so fast that the ground shake's.Thats what I love about metal .singing the message at top of the scale.when I write a Song it's from pass experience's, relationships failed marriage's of heart ache and break, personal failure's, Army times, lost of life,lost of ones mind, addiction, alcohol,drugs,meth, Norcos, sex, parties, women you name it if it had apart in my life I wrote about in a very distorted way.I write and compose to relay a message to who needs it.?!? I just love to make music and every song is a message and every message has a song to tell.And I just try to capture it and bang the shit out of it.thank you so much for taking the your time to listen
