pieces

Gothic metal horror inspired by the real asylums - Trans-Allegheny, Danvers, Willowbrook. These weren't hospitals, they were human warehouses. "They called it treatment" while performing lobotomies with ice picks and electroshock without anesthesia.
130 BPM in A minor with doom-heavy foundation. Cathedral-sized sound for institutional horror. For fans of Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, Moonspell.

Halls of Madness

Nowhere to belong

I saw you in your coat of many colours
I was surprised to discover
You think you understand me
But I know that it's all in your mind

There was a time when I believed I understood
There was a time when I'd believe in anything
There is no time to waste to bring some understanding
There was a time when I believed in anything

Riding the ups and downs of life
Like a wave on the sea
Waving at me while you go 
down, down, down 

There was a time when I believed I understood
There was a time when I'd believe in anything
There is no time to waste to bring some understanding
There was a time when I believed in anything

I've got the blues today
In the news today
I saw a man who would be king

I've got the blues today
In the news today
I saw a man who would be king

How can a man
hate another man
for the colour of his skin?

How can a man
hate another man
for the things that he believes in?

I've got the blues today
In the news today
I saw a man who would be king

King

This song is an AI-assisted creation, born from my deep love for the music that shaped me. While no human hands held a guitar or sat at a drum kit to record it, every note, lyric, and arrangement was guided by the echoes of the bands that defined my past. Think of it as a digital homage—a way of keeping alive the energy, emotion, and craft of the artists who once filled arenas and soundtracked my memories. This track isn’t trying to replace them; it’s a love letter to their legacy, reimagined through the tools of today. What you hear is the past and the future colliding, paying respect to the timeless spirit of rock that still refuses to fade.

Is It Real? (Bonus)

I’m a songwriter first and last - not a performer. My focus is on the craft of the song itself, which is why my music has such a wide range. I don’t have one sound; I write for other voices and a vast variety of genres.

You won't find my face on a stage or my voice on a mic. My tracks aren't about building my own brand; they’re about creating a mood or a story that comes fully to life through the right singer.
