Cindered Heart: A Voice Rising from Shadows

Cindered Heart is a one-man musical journey fueled by resilience, raw emotion, and unrelenting creativity. Rising from a history of pain and perseverance, Cindered Heart crafts a visceral fusion of VampTrap, Gothic Industrial Rock, and Alt-Hip-Hop. This isn’t just music—it’s a cathartic expression for the misunderstood, the unseen, and those who thrive in the shadows.

Behind Cindered Heart is Paul Brainerd, a self-taught artist with over 15 years of experience in writing, composing, and producing. What began as a passion for poetry and storytelling evolved into a deeply personal exploration of sound—a way to transform life’s chaos into something beautiful. A survivor of trauma and adversity, Paul channels that energy into every beat, every lyric, and every haunting melody. The result is music that resonates on a deeply human level: raw, unapologetic, and unfiltered.

Since its inception in late 2024, Cindered Heart has amassed over 10,000 plays on SoundCloud, with nearly 8,000 of those plays achieved in just over a month. This rapid rise isn’t luck; it’s the result of relentless dedication and a commitment to creating music that defies convention. Cindered Heart’s sound isn’t confined to a genre—it’s a blend of heavy industrial synths, eerie soundscapes, dark trap beats, and emotionally charged vocals that cut straight to the soul.

Each track is entirely self-produced, a labor of love that starts with an idea and evolves into a complete sonic experience. From mixing and mastering to layering intricate soundscapes, every element of Cindered Heart’s music is created in Paul’s home studio. Utilizing cutting-edge tools like Cubase Artist, Access Virus C, and Korg Radias synthesizers, along with advanced AI-assisted vocal transformations, the sound is both deeply personal and technologically innovative. Heavy basslines, driving drum machines, and hauntingly transformed vocals create a listening experience that is as immersive as it is evocative.

What truly sets Cindered Heart apart is the raw honesty and emotion woven into every track. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about creating music that speaks to the outcasts and dreamers, the ones who crave something real. The tracks don’t just tell stories; they are invitations to feel, reflect, and connect.

Cindered Heart isn’t just a sound—it’s a cause. A movement for those who’ve been cast aside, a beacon for the restless, and a voice for those who’ve felt silenced. Whether it’s through the haunting melodies of "Queen of Decay," the unapologetic rage of "Malice," or the dark anthems yet to come, Cindered Heart invites listeners to step into the darkness and find empowerment.

This is more than music. This is a life lived, scars and all, turned into sound. Cindered Heart is an invitation to embrace your fire, feel your pain, and rise from the ashes. Because that’s what it means to have a cindered heart—it means surviving, thriving, and never retreating.

OMGG – short for Oceana, Mira, Gaia, and Gigi – is an electrifying all-girl rock band with a cosmic edge, blending futuristic sounds and deep rhythms inspired by the mysteries of the universe. Formed in high school, the four girls first connected in their music class, drawn together by their love of rock, sci-fi, and a fascination with the unknown. The energy between them was magnetic from the start, and they quickly turned their shared passion into a sound all their own.

I am originally from L. A. Calif, graduate from Jefferson High school in 1969.I move to Arkansas in 1969 and love it here. I am a Family man of 42 yrs to a wonderful woman named Linda. I have 4 grown children, 3 boys, and 1 girl and 2 
grandchildren. I have been a songwriter, and have been making music for the 
last 36 yrs. I love all kinds of music such as rock, jazz, r & b, soul, and country rock and some classic. A lot of my music is inspired by groups like the "earth 
wind & fire, stylistics, the Dell, West Montgomery, Al Jarreau, Paul Taylor, 
Jonathan Butler, Marvin Gaye, The Temptation, Teddy Pendergrass" just to name a few. I love old school music. I do a lot of my own music and write my own songs. I have my own studio at my home, and it gives  me the chance to do my 
own thing. I try to be creative in my mixing of my music. I really hope everyone will find my music interesting and enjoyable to listen to. I thank all of you for 
your support and I count it a privilege to be apart of the Soundcloud Family. 
Also, everyone is invited to visit my music website, www.Woodywoodthewoodman.Bandcamp.com. Yours Truly Edward C. Woodard

Keeping on fiddling while Rome is burning. Some of my therapists say that music is sublimation which is a good thing.
