Six tracks from a 12-song project by my darker alter-ego, A Cult of Lies. The music is a reflection on my time of being in an abusive religious cult as a child. Unlike my Anderhill compositions, for this recording I created 12 full-sentence song titles first, then I created the music to best suit each title. The music is darker, has more voice, vocals, and sampling of real instruments in the mix. 

Listen or buy the entire album at BandCamp.

A Cult of Lies - He called himself Michael the Archangel but he was born to destroy.

The first time ever I saw the devil’s face I was just a boy.

Those deceived by the promise of paradise will live in sorrow.

I know something is not quite right in this lovely place.

If obedience is the only way to win his praise, run away.

My body belongs to the collective but my mind is still my own.

A temporary track. Just playing around with rhythms and vocals with dirty effects. Oh, the lyrics are all tongue-in-cheek.
