"Bullies From The West" adds a little laid back jazzy feel to the many other different musical styles of the Empire Mine Road album. This song shares most of it's riffs with it's companion song "Beasts From The East" further acknowledging the album as a concept album with reoccurring notes and riffs that connect all the songs together. And the howling coyotes you hear at the end are the actual ones that roam Empire Mine Road in Antioch, CA personally recorded by me with my cell phone. 

Bullies From The West

Here is the 2020 revamp of my original song "The Disconnection" It's video was debuted on the Concord Couch Concerts in 2020. This version starts out very similar to the original acoustic version but adds drums and bass plus an electric guitar solo. The ending of the song gradually gets heavier along with the vocals. It will be officially released on "The (RE)connection E.P. which is a remix album containing all the different versions of "The Disconnection" and will be out soon.

"To: Day" starts off the very beginning of the adventures to be had on my newest album: Empire Mine Road. That album has 2 sides: Day & Night. This song is a very strong opening track that carries a nice mid paced groove with some pretty heavy distorted guitars. The lyrics are basically getting the listener ready to head out to Empire Mine Road for a one of a kind journey. It embraces the sun and is written in appreciation for the actual Day for lighting the way for everything to begin.

To: Day

"Come on walk your bones with me where Death roams so openly and then maybe you will see what picks our bones for free" Cow Skull Kingdom is another single and the 6th track on the newest album "Empire Mine Road" It's a groove metal song with that southern rock feel and some grim but fun imagery that paints a pretty clear sun bleached picture. Basically, it's about collecting various cow bones and building a shrine out of them! And where better to collect these dusty treasures than at the place called Cow Skull Kingdom! "Another day, another Skull"
