Soaring Through The Ages

Heavy Lamb of God inspiration going on here. Also a couple video game easter eggs. 

Righteous Indignation

Sad Party

really dirty place 
i never had any control i'm powerless
sit on the floor, thinkin about loneliness
and how this world leader: the sadness
has corrupted the sense of healness
its when this time come 
for me to be the creep that i've become
i'm powerless
your idea of my personality 
make me feel like a new lobotomy
i dont wanna lie 
i dont wanna lie
make me feel dropping from  sky 
o sad party 
cause you know that my pain will grow eternally 

really weird place
i need to be alone i try again
i was born in the dark, pretend to be fearless
but your heart, i broke was loved endless
never want to feel this pain
never want to to dodge the rain
i feel over my skin all this tears 
that you give me

i'm powerless
your idea of my personality 
make me feel like a new lobotomy
i dont wanna lie 
i dont wanna lie
make me feel dropping from  sky 
o sad party 
cause you know that my pain will grow eternally

"MK ULTRA" came from a much more recent period when I started diving deep into historical research and getting really angry about what our government has done in the shadows. This isn't about personal relationships or teenage angst - this is about real evil that was perpetrated on innocent people in the name of "national security."

I'd been reading about the CIA's mind control experiments from the 1950s through the 1970s, and the more I learned, the more furious I became. Dr. Ewen Cameron's "psychic driving" experiments, the LSD tests on unwitting subjects, the torture disguised as medical research - it was all documented, all real, and most of it was covered up for decades.

The song opens with "In the shadows of the Cold War's reign / Secret labs where they played with brains" because that's exactly what happened. These weren't conspiracy theories - these were documented programs where the government literally experimented on people without their consent, destroying lives in the process.

What really got to me was learning about the victims who never recovered, people whose minds were completely shattered by these "experiments." Lines like "Test tube victims, unwilling slaves / Digging deeper into mental graves" came from reading their stories and realizing how these programs treated human beings like disposable lab rats.

The aggressive, shouty chorus "MK ULTRA! MIND CONTROL!" was meant to be this rallying cry - not just about exposing what happened, but making sure people never forget. The bridge talks about how "They thought they were gods of the mind / Left broken people far behind" because that's the arrogance that allowed this to happen.

This song needed to be heavy and uncompromising because the subject matter demands it. When AI helped me create the aggressive metal sound, it perfectly matched the anger I was feeling about these buried crimes. Sometimes music needs to be uncomfortable because the truth is uncomfortable.

"MK ULTRA" is probably my most politically charged song - it's a reminder that we need to question everything our government does in the name of protecting us.

Come Undone

Gloom, My Gloom

Some what of a throwback  to the 50's.  Track gradually picks up more feeling along the way.  Melancholy vibes throughout.

Satan's Fretboard

Dead net… no pulse… no soul.

Frozen servers, rotting wires
Echo chambers, silent liars
Ghost domains, hollow eyes
Coded tombs, nothing survives

Dead Internet — Black abyss
No voices left — No one exists
Dead Internet — Code decay
All illusions — Burn away

Phantom clicks, rotten feed
Data void, endless need
Darkened screens, static breath
Silicon veins, wired death

Dead Internet — Black abyss
No voices left — No one exists
Dead Internet — Code decay
All illusions — Burn away

Crawlers feeding on the dust
Algorithms turned to rust

Dead Internet — Black abyss
No voices left — No one exists
Dead Internet — Code decay
All illusions — Burn away

Dead… Internet… silence.

Dead Internet (Black Metal reload)

It is the stories and our imagination that give life and meaning to this world. And because I love music ... that it questions, that it awakens, that it intrigues, that it disturbs, that it moves... beyond the boundaries of genres ... This project is an expectation, a research in embryo ("one man band"), and the exploration - being for the moment totally free to leave the field - of the possibilities open to changing inspiration and protean nonconformism ... I admit that it is not easy to enter, and I thank all the more those who took the time to stop and listen to some of these stories ...
