PS Perkins: Guitars, bass, lyre, vocals
Ron Thomas: Autoharps, Drums

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

A New World Dawns

In streets once familiar, now strange and new
Ancient rhythms fade, replaced by a bolder hue
The land I knew, with traditions deep and strong
Slowly dissolves into a discordant song
Faces once mirrored mine, shared stories now untold
Amidst this sea of strangers, and cultures manifold

Our customs and values, once firmly in place
Blur and shift, leaving barely a trace
Languages mingle, accents collide
The essence of home seems to subside
In this tidal wave of change and flux
I search for anchors, familiar crux, familiar crux

A new world dawns, equally bright
A new world dawns, equally bright

Yet in this loss, a bittersweet truth emerges
As cultures blend and humanity surges
Though the country I once knew may fade from sight
Perhaps a new world dawns, equally bright
Maybe equally bright
Still, I mourn for what once was mine
A shared identity, now hard to define

In this global village, ever-growing
I'm left adrift, nostalgia flowing
Though the country I knew may fade from sight
Perhaps a new world dawns
Perhaps a new world dawns
A new world dawns, equally bright
A new world dawns, equally bright

Daydreams Of Coconut Grove

This song opens the emotions from someone in a long-standing relationship that has grown hopeless. Clearly it’s time to let it go.

Lyrics:
Just take it all away, can't listen anymore
What made you choose to stay, when love became a chore
At best I'm in the way, that's all there is to say
You’re just running up the score

Please take it far away, can't hear a single word
No matter what we say, we both sound so absurd
No love, then no obey, I've paid all I can pay
Just take it all away

How long can it rain, before you see the clouds
This weather is insane, we just have to end it now
When everything's gone grey, I never thought I'd say
Just take it all away, 
Ohhhhhhh, just take it all away

Please take it far away, can't hear a single word
No matter what we say, we both sound so absurd
No love, then no obey, I've paid all I can pay
Just take it all away

How long can it rain, before you see the clouds
This weather is insane, we just have to end it now
When everything's gone grey, I never thought I'd say
Just take it all away, 
Ohhhhhhh, just take it all away

Take It All Away

Charlie and the Fox are back with a banger , and in the next few weeks we'll be releasing our 1st album , the only trouble is deciding which tracks to leave out !

On the 1st of Nov' is a moody blues/rock song with Dave Cooper , closely followed by a ballad just by myself , phew , knackered ! Thank you for listening .

Heart In Your Hands

A dark, Gothic trap synth anthem, weaving themes of vampiric desire, eternal love, and the inevitability of death. With sick beats, eerie synths, distorted screams, and haunting lyrics, this track bleeds pain and passion, conjuring an intoxicating nocturnal world where shadows linger and love is as dark as death.

Lyrics

Mirrors on the ceilings,
A QUIET DRIP FROM HER WRISTS.
I can taste all of her feelings,
THE CHAMPAGNE ON HER LIPS.
Lying naked, on indigo velvet, her life...
IN DEATH...
COULD NEVER BE —
MEANINGLESS...

The clock...
BLEEDS DOWN OUR FACES .... OH !!
SUCH - A - PRETTY - RED !!!
All of the time could NEVER ERASE THE FEARS ...
OR  THE PAIN,
FROM — OUR HEADS !!!!
The words that fell from her mouth,
A MIDNIGHT ABYSS,
Pleading to me — A PURPOSE,
FOR ALL OF THIS...

The morning sun,
STEALS AWAY THE NIGHT,
CUTS IT - INTO - SHADOWS...
Peering faces from the window's thirst..
but there were, NO - MIRACLES...
IF ON EARTH IT - IS - IN - HEAVEN !!
THEN SO -  BE - IT - IN - HELL !!!

We've both been feeding —
YOU CAN TELL BY THE SWEET SMELL!

I'M STILL LETTING THEM IN!
AND THE SOULS THEY SELL ...!!
I softly lay my head down,
HER NAME ON MY BREATH, 
THE PASSION SWELLED ...

I’M SURE THE DEVIL HAS FIGURED IT OUT...

THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT TO GO NOW !!

THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT TO GO NOW !!!

Chorus

The clock...
BLEEDS DOWN OUR FACES,
SUCH A PRETTY RED...
All of the time could NEVER ERASE THE FEARS ...
OR ALL OF THE PAIN,
FROM — OUR HEADS ...
Her voice, like smoke...
LIKE BLOOD IN THE AIR...
A whisper that LINGERS,
LIKE A BROKEN PRAYER...


And as I lay here, in the last echoes of her breath ...
WE’LL FIND OUR PLACE ...
IN THIS LOVE ...
IN THIS DEATH ...

IT'S NOT OVER !!!

WE WILL FEED AGAIN  !!

IT'S NOT OVER !!!

WE WILL FEED AGAIN  !!

Mirrors on the ceilings,
A QUIET DRIPS FROM HER WRISTS.
I can taste all of her feelings,
THE CHAMPAGNE ON HER LIPS.
Lying naked, on indigo velvet, our life...
IN DEATH...
COULD NEVER BE — MEANINGLESS...

IT'S NOT OVER !!!

WE WILL FEED AGAIN !!

Clock Stays Red

"Concrete Jungle - Blood Moon Edit is an intense vampire-inspired trap anthem that takes you deep into the heart of a dark city. With a menacing, hard-hitting beat and a sinister flow, this male-fronted version pulses with aggression, fear, and hunger. A nightmarish feast on the streets awaits."

Lyrics

I’m a creature of the night
I don’t need no light
Shadows in the alley
I’m the one they fear in sight!

Teeth sharp like the blade of a knife
Catch me in the city where the air’s thick with strife.

Me and my lover, we feast in the gutter
Hunger never sleeps, yeah, we breakin’ the structure
Skyscrapers like tombstones
Watch the night, it can fucking puncture
Blood stains the pavement
I'm not just a sucker!!

Blood in the streets
Pulse in the heat
Clocks still red
Watch the hour repeat

Vampires in the city
Feast on defeat
We feast on the fear
Yeah, we never retreat!

I ain’t playin’ with these mortals
They don’t stand a chance
Cold hands grippin’ necks
Got ‘em lost in the trance
Elevator eyes, can’t escape this dance

Watch the clock tick
Time’s slow death
Red like the blood
I just took with each breath
Streetlights flicker
We the ones that they dread
Heartbeats racing
But you better be dead.

Clocks still red
But time's dead.
Cindered Heart the nightmare in your head!
They run, they hide
But we fed
The city’s ours
You're been fucking misled!

Blood in the streets
Pulse in the heat
Clocks still red
Watch the hour repeat

Vampires in the city
Feast on defeat
We feast on the fear
Yeah, we never retreat

We don’t fear nothin’
Not even sunlight!!

Vampires in the zone
We own the night
Tears in the sky
But we’re outta sight
Feast on the weak
Then vanish in flight.

Pray we don't find you tonight.

Dark alleys, no sound
You’ll never be found
We hunt in silence
But the blood’s always loud
City’s a playground
Your life is a vow
Sign in blood
Or you'll be lost in the crowd.

Blood in the streets
Pulse in the heat
Clocks still red
Watch the hour repeat!!

Vampires in the city
Feast on defeat
We feast on the fear
Yeah, we never retreat

Blood... blood in the streets...
Clocks still red... time won’t repeat...
Feast on the fear... yeah... feast on the fear...

Concrete Jungle - Blood Moon Edit

Dive into the dark, electrifying world of "Morning Stars", where rap-trap meets vampiric metal. A haunting fusion of fast, venomous bars, sinister melodies, and raw energy, this track narrates a power-hungry duo feeding off corruption and greed. It’s wicked, intelligent, and fiercely unforgettable.

Lyrics

The night whispers your name…

The temptations grow…

Bow to the shadows…

Power’s a cage…

I come from the dark, where the cold winds freeze
We take in the darkened and lost, and we're feasting with ease
Whisper to the powerful, bend 'em to their knees
Kiss 'em with death
Now they beg to please!

Temptin’ the kings, I’m the blood in their veins
Tie ‘em in chains, put their trust in the flames
Crowned in thorns, but it’s twisted with pain
Leaders of nations
I've blessed every name!

The bishops are praying, but I pull on their strings
Angels are demons, when I spread my wings!
Twilight embrace, as I silence the kings
The throne is mine
Hear the bells as they drink

Beneath the moonlight, I carve out their sins
Set fire to the temples where the hollow begins
Minds get addicted, the power they’re in
Drink from my chalice
Let the darkness begin!

The sinners, the saints
No mercy!
No shame!
Pullin' the strings, we ignite the flame
Temptation’s a serpent, no way to reclaim
Devils or Gods power, both are claimed
Cause they are one and the same!

Leaders will fall, they play the game
Crowned in the dark, but we snatch 'em the same
A kiss on the neck, they whisper our fame
We’re takin’ the world
You're takin' the blame!

Kneelin' to the throne, man, the darkness is thick
Tears in their eyes, but they can't escape it quick
Hands on their necks, I’m pullin' ‘em sick
Sacrifice the soul, and I rip it to bits

Bow only to us, we’re takin’ your flesh
Blood on the streets, man, the power’s a mess
Stain on the Bible, we’ll twist it and test
Drink from the well, now you’re cursed with the rest!

Chained in the halls of your gilded deceit
Feast on your greed, while you shuffle your feet
Sins on your lips, now the devil’s elite
Welcome to the game
Where the real powers meet!

The ruler’s blood, it’s the sweetest of wine
Taste it on the tongue, let the darkness entwine
No escape from the clutches, we carve every line
The end is near, yeah, the throne is not divine!

We are the darkened and lost
No mercy!
No shame!
Pullin' the strings, we ignite the flame
Temptation’s a serpent, no way to reclaim
Cindered Heart is a power and we’re keepin the name!

Anywhere But Here

❤️‍🔥 Cindered Heart ❤️‍🔥
The Architect of VampTrap and Rockstep ! A brutal fusion of industrial bass, cinematic metal, and lyrical fire built for a world that still thinks genres have borders. This is the sound of rebellion sharpened into a dagger that will pick your bones clean by morning . 
CH is dark post-rap industrial rock and dubstep hybrid project forged with layered production, generated samples, synths, guitars and drum machines wielded as ritual weaponry.

Cindered Heart is insurgent music first ! bass-heavy, lyrically masterminded and raw to the bone. Fused with metal’s bite and activist venom. Every track is a call-to-arms against complacency, a cinematic rebellion for those who feel the rot and burn to erase it.

Emerging from a decade in shadow, Cindered Heart returns not as a solo act but as a rising coven of creators, collaborators, and conspirators. Together, they give blood to new genres like VampTrap and RockStep,  alongside brutal collision, showcasing many sides, and many different styles of music like dubstep, rock, metal and darkwave, with experimental offshoots in folk and reggae. This is not music made for market trends. It’s an audio doctrine where no church is sacred, no system safe, and no silence unscarred by rhythm.

                    At the center stands a one-man legion 

                                         — Lesstatt — 

overseeing songwriting, vocals, production, sound design, visual direction, and mixing/mastering/rendering. Through a blend of DAW's, hardware synths, drum machines, electric guitars, samplers, and generated sound layers, each track is summoned in a single uninterrupted ritual where melody bleeds into meaning and distortion becomes declaration.

But this vision no longer stands alone. The world of Cindered Heart now expands through a handpicked circle of featured vocalists, visual architects, sound sculptors, and creative allies — each amplifying the message without ever muting its power.

With over 60 releases across SoundCloud and global streaming platforms — surpassing 70K plays, 1.8K likes, 921 comments, and 750 reposts — plus international coverage including radio play, interviews, and published features in six countries, Cindered Heart isn’t chasing popularity. It’s spreading contagion.

This isn’t a trend.
It’s rebellion carved in waveform, pain, and blood.

These tracks don’t play.
They summon.

Intros unfold like rituals.
Whispers cut like venom.
Breakdowns crumble like temples.
And every lyric doesn’t just rhyme — it reigns.

From Clock Stays Red to Psychopaths, each release expands a mythos of vampiric power, divine corruption, systemic decay, and emotional survival. Cindered Heart doesn’t seek validation. It corrupts gods, bends truth into beat patterns, and drapes beauty in barbed wire.

You don’t follow Cindered Heart to feel good.
You follow to remember what pain sounds like when it’s finally free.
