It's been a couple years, and like everyone else I've gone through a lot. I don't have a ton of fans, but the ones I do have I felt an obligation to provide a collection of tracks instead of just a single release. To let you (you're definitely a fan if you're reading this), and them, know that I'm still here. I'm back, and I'm coming with a new perspective, a new drive, and with new force. These tracks are Demos (as all my soundcloud posts are) so be sure to follow on other music platforms for the official release later this year and they're obviously subject to change for better, or for worse.
I wanted to play around with certain textures in my voice in recording this. You might notice that in OD I'm subtle with it and in BM it's more dramatic. LME is just a love letter to the beloved genre, I didn't want to do anything but give you at least one track that's repeatable and that I know metalcore fans will love. Fun fact! This is the first songs I've ever recorded on analog hardware that I own. So all initial stages of EQ, compression, mic pres, etc is what all of you are hearing and my buddy Jeremiah Culver who mixed and mastered the track (seriously, he's a powerhouse. We've done other music together that you can find on my CTS channel) complimented on the quality of them when the multitracks were delivered. So guess that means I'm doing something pretty alright.
As far as themes and emotion goes, you'll notice the EP is hovering around inner truth, inner self, and vulnerability just in a simple general sense. I learned about masking and not only did it break some of my reality (which is where most of my PTSD from the Navy comes from), it was also fucking vindicating. I immediately went into therapy and was diagnosed with some disorders that I'm not ashamed of, however now that's an entire avenue that I have to figure out for myself and how it impacts my navigation of life so I won't speak on it until I'm more educated. 
From Long Way Down that was released in 2023? 2022? I was starting from an absolute zero base of a mental, emotional, and physical journey that has now turned into me having the confidence to release a 3 song work. I've been incredibly busy and have so much in the pipeline I wish I could just give everyone everything tomorrow. But alas, things take time. And in this meantime, from mosh bangers to ballad belters, fucking enjoy.

LYRICS:
The words I threw out still ricochet
This silence is the sound I made
They hang like smoke, ow! 
A bitter sting
A testament to what I bring

I trace the cracks along the wall
And brace myself to take the fall

My anger was a fortress proud
I never meant to say it loud

I see your face behind my eyes
Before the shock, before the lies
The moment that the trust was torn
A fragile thing, a fabric worn

I watched you build your defenses fast
A future buried in the past
My pride was just a sharpened stone
A thing I had to throw alone

I’d trade the thunder for the rain
I’d take the sorrow, take the pain
I’d tear this stupid castle down
To hear you make a single sound
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong
Is that a sad enough new song?
