Still on his feet, back in the real.. mere nanoseconds had passed – his body just starting to fall to the ground. Muscles tensed, he snapped himself back, renewing the grasp on his blade, feet firm with absolute resolution – there was no time to waste, hope remained – his love might yet be alive. Striding past the now silent mechanism of the archdemon he crossed the chamber to the only other doorportal, moving with all of the speed his will could push his body to. The corridor was heavy with dark energy, a morbid passage filled with dread and interference – but he was indifferent, focussed, driven by ultimate universal forces. He slowed as he approached the far opening cautiously.. bewildered by what he saw there… as though the laws of physics ceased.. a broken landscape, parts suspended in the air, overlooking an endless dark crevice… there were people.. his people.. he’d found them.. he fought the urge to rush forward and cry to them – something was wrong – they stood, hunched without motion.. alive, but lifeless.. a great deformity stood menacingly above them, gargantuan tools of death in its limbs, bristling with technology… one of his tribe was kneeling sullen before the monstrosity as if uttering a quiet plea… then several things happened in the same moment – as it raised its obscene tools, twin cable like appendages leapt forth from it ghastly head unit, plunging through the very eyes of his kinsmen and burrowing into his skull. The victim’s scream pierced Velok’s heart, their body quivered within the onset of death’s rigid grasp.. through his implants Velok witnessed the energy transfer, the digitised soul passing with agonising slowness out of the soon to be corpse… Those vile weapons swung down as the process completed, severing the body brutally into 4 pieces – extracting any remaining bio-energy left within what had once been a person, before coldly sweeping the remains into the bleak depths of the crevice. Velok stood aghast in the face of the overwhelmingly quiet blanket of death, looking over the forms of his people waiting for that terrible fate, and then he saw her.. that golden hair spilling over her cast down face.. incapacitated, unmoving.. silent.

Lost Souls

Altar of The Lost

Released 23/09/2016 - reuploaded to soundcloud 10/03/2021

Severed from reality, detached from his corporeal body… his consciousness formed an echo of his image… drifting through the expanse of the virtual realm that now imprisoned him. The bridge back to reality, to that other dimension, was gone, part of him had been pulled across into the digital void… what remained of the archdemon’s code dissolved around him. His own code was broken, incomplete.. fragments of distorted, unrecognisable memories.. deep discomfort, purpose and direction lost with his fractured self. He was dying.. his incomplete state, unsustainable.. his integrity dissolving, he had to return to himself, to re-complete his mind before being lost completely in the digital ether. Other trapped souls drifted toward him from the abstract, beckoning his broken form toward them.. moving as he could, he followed – his decomposing cortex failing.. they reached out to him. A structure loomed out of the ether, flickering into life as fluid energy strobed across its translucent surface.. a portal.. the veil… he reached towards it with the last of his will, disappearing into its tender, powerful embrace

Soul Viel

Released 23/09/2016 - reuploaded to soundcloud 10/03/2021

The interior of the keep was blacker still, sub-frequencies permeating the structure and making the stillness feel yet alive with morbid energy. Interference was running through his implants, he sensed their inactivity and felt alone, unprotected. Picking his way through the labyrinthine stark corridors to the nexus. The low hum intensified in the passage, the air became much colder – difficult to breathe.. Pulling his cloak tight around him he ducked through a nearby opening to search for brief respite. A brief thought activated his gland through instinct, coursing agents to heighten his senses in the gloom around his system. He was not ready for the ghastly sight that creeped through the darkness into his awareness… the distorted bodies of his people, victims of horrific experimentation – their forms cut, mangled and respliced – leering out of the gloom with undead eyes, implanted with vile mechanisms, animating their twisted forms to obscure disturbing purposes in the darkness. Reeling with horror, his eyes moving swiftly across the deformed mass of his kinsmen, hoping, praying not to see her in this morbid tangle, he staggered back out of the desecrated space of life beyond death, pushing onward to the core.. conserving his breath within his chest, heavy with sorrow… determined to save her from this fate.

Necromancy (ft. Rawtekk)

Released 23/09/2016 - reuploaded to soundcloud 10/03/2021

His consciousness was crushed by the pressing weight of infinity, a heavy darkness that pressed against his mind until he was nothing – immersed in the void. Thin tendrils of awareness crept back back to him, he didn’t recognise his surroundings.. a black forest loomed oppressively in his view with scattered points of light between the gnarled and twisted trunks of those bleak trees. They were moving.. more of them appearing in the dusk-like light of this obscure realm.. he could make out their bodies – almost formless, morphic entities gathering in the blackness pushing towards him. Quickly pulling himself up, he drew his blade before him, hacking at the closest horror with its gaping, ghastly appendages and slicing it apart. Sensing death the horrors moved with sudden speed, slaves to the dark eternity of this place.. seeking to mangle and deform, extricate the shivering life from warmer beings. Their touch was deathly, abrasively tearing at his skin… Velok focussed, cutting apart his new enemy tirelessly, ending them mercilessly until he remained alone.. panting under the infernal skyvoid.

Shadow Walker

Released 23/09/2016 - reuploaded to soundcloud 10/03/2021

The edge of Ethrane was where she dwelled – she who was stuck perpetually between dimensions, flickering across parallel universes on a microscale time-cycle – the oracle of the multi-fates, the bridge between worlds. Velok made his way through the bleak dawn to the shrine in the depths of the forest, careful to follow the footsteps implanted in him by his parents, and the generations before them. She was waiting for him, swathes of her energy wrapped around the trunks of nearby trees, feeding from the current of the central altar and the pathway to the other dimensional layers. Her voice entered the depths of his mind gracefully, illustrating the vast and intricate horrors of the being from the other side, the entity that had taken his people so mercilessly. They were alive but on the precipice of dark fate, ready to be fed on, to be opened up and experimented upon, to feed the infernal biomechanisms of the creature’s desire. It was not beyond hope… he could reach them… but the fates of their liberation and his life were obscured by darkness…

Oracle

Released 23/09/2016 - reuploaded to soundcloud 10/03/2021

There will come to exist a forgotten future land, a time and place where technology is indistinguishable with magic and black science is pursued by those who would wish to unlock the secrets of reality. In the depths of the planet’s darkest night, whilst the village of Ethrane slept in the embrace of the mountains above – a trio of explorers of the veil between dimensions were about to break the barrier between this universe and the next…
It was the sprawling face of black eternity that greeted them, spilling through the rift and eviscerating them – flooding through the deep tunnels of their order’s bunker and up into the cold, free night. It moved swiftly, sleekly positioned between dimensions and descending upon the village below. Rapidly it fed – blinking the unaware citizens with precision across time and space with its bleak fields, displacing their purest and most prime out of existence and across the dimensional skein.

Parenthesis

title track off my new EP coming out 6/26 via @renrakuglobalmedia

Finally releasing this dubplate, inspired by the classic Motown break beat from the Winstons 'Amen Brother' (yeah the one everyone uses), and the music that stemmed from it.  

I had actually considered postponing this release in solidarity of the protests current happening in the united states, to keep the airwaves clear for the people involved so that their voices have the space they need. However, since I live in rural predominantly white state where there aren't many opportunities to act directly, I decided to use this EP as a small way to help ease some of the financial burdens of those fighting for their basic human rights. 

All of the tracks on this release are HEAVILY inspired by music created and pioneered by black musicians, and as a white male, I acknowledge how privileged I am to have lived in the safety that my privilege affords. Additionally, the white majority I belong to has co-opted numerous musical movements originating from black musicians, so it is very important to take the time to respect and honor the creators(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break). 

Because of this, I will be donating my portion of all Bandcamp sales to the BLM movement and the ACLU. I chose Bandcamp because it is by far the largest source of record sales for myself  and because the funds are available immediately, rather than some 3-4 month quarterly lump sum later this year and the movement needs support NOW. I will also be matching this amount personally(up to $500.00 because I can't afford more sadly). If you'd like to learn more about these organizations, you can find links below. 

We are all human beings and we all deserve basic human dignity. The US govt and US police force have been violating and abusing our black neighbor's rights since this country's inception, a practice that cannot be allowed to continue.  This record will be available for purchase on 6/26, but if you want to donate sooner and/or if you think my music is shit and don't want to buy it, please consider donating and getting involved below:
