Negative man

An intense and atmospheric instrumental dive where silence weighs as heavily as sound. Each layer breathes tension and reflection — a journey into the beautiful discomfort of emptiness.

The Stifling Nothing

“Before the War / The Unseen War / Rebirth of the Real” forms the climactic trilogy of The Hidden Empire — three movements woven into one continuous journey.
It begins in stillness, passes through chaos, and ends in light.
“Before the War” opens the sequence with ethereal guitars and ambient tension — the last breath before the storm.
“The Unseen War” erupts with fury and precision, capturing the uprising against control — a war fought not with weapons, but with awareness, faith, and truth.
And finally, “Rebirth of the Real” emerges from the ashes — a soaring, emotional finale where humanity rebuilds from ruin and finds peace within the truth.
This 3-part suite flows seamlessly from dreamlike calm to cinematic aggression, closing with a reflective, almost spiritual resolve.
It’s the sound of destruction and renewal — the fall of illusion and the awakening of the real.
🔥 Genre: Progressive Metal / Cinematic Rock
🎧 Theme: Revolution, Collapse, Renewal
💿 From the concept album The Hidden Empire
“We lost the stars to find the fire —
We drowned in lies to climb higher.”

Turn To Ashes (Instrumental)

Cowards’ Dance

“Into the Void” drifts into a state of exhaustion, numbness, and spiritual collapse. Opening with a solitary bass line, the track sinks into the sensation of being burned out, disconnected, and crushed beneath pressures that offer no relief. The verses paint a bleak picture of suffocation and emotional paralysis, while the chorus echoes the isolation of disappearing into an empty, silent abyss with no hand reaching back. The bridge brings a desperate struggle against the current — fragments of identity, scattered strength, and a fading instinct to survive. With its cold atmosphere, haunting progression, and sinking momentum, “Into the Void” captures the feeling of fading out of the world, not with rage, but with resignation.

NEON DEVIL — Reworked Edition
A filthy, neon-drenched  freakshow that flips the middle finger at reality — and begs you to enjoy every second of it.

NEON DEVIL is the reworked resurrection of an album that probably violated at least three moral codes just by existing.
It’s an unapologetic cocktail of cyberpunk sleaze, XXX-rated humor, chaotic metal carnage and operatic stupidity — proudly offensive, deliberately childish, and absolutely not here to teach you anything.

Forget seriousness.
Forget “artistic integrity.”
This is a radioactive neon sex-comedy-opera blasting through your skull with laser guitars, demon-girl data extortion, cosmic dictators on bad drugs, 
It’s vulgar.
It’s loud.
It’s stupid in the most intelligent way possible.

Every track is a dirty hallucination soaked in black humor, nihilism, and a grin that says:
“Relax. Life’s a joke. Laugh at it before it laughs at you.”

This reworked version updates the sound, sharpens the chaos, and cranks the neon until your retinas scream — without touching the original lyrical filth that made this monster special.

This album shouldn’t exist in 2025.
That’s exactly why it does.

So plug in, turn off your moral compass, and bathe in the glowing, shameless, ridiculous madness.

This is NEON DEVIL — the cyberpunk comedy opera from hell.
Triple-X energy. Zero regrets. Pure fun.

They Say I Should Control It All - Solo/Female Voice

THE SHADOW I BECAME

Concept
The Hunger is the moment the Abyss reveals its true face.
After being lured by familiar voices and memories, the protagonist finally sees the entity that has been stalking him since the moment he crossed the threshold.
It is not a creature of flesh or bone, but a vast, ancient intelligence made of shadow, instinct, and need.
It shapes itself from fear.
It learns from longing.
It feeds on broken hearts and the pieces of the self left unguarded.
“The Hunger” is not just something in the Abyss.
It is the Abyss.
The soundscape is suffocating, immense, and relentless — the embodiment of something that has waited ages for a soul to wander too far from the light.
Visual Concept
The cover art depicts a lone figure facing a colossal shadow-beast, its glowing eyes burning like coals through the darkness.
Volumetric blue lighting reveals only hints of its form:
curling tendrils, jagged silhouettes, a shape too large and too wrong to fully comprehend.
The man stands small, illuminated only by the faint glow around him — a spark of resistance against a world designed to consume him.
This is the instant where fear becomes revelation.
Place in the Album Narrative
At this point in THE ABYSS:
The protagonist has seen memories, ghosts, and illusions.
He has survived predators and temptations.
He has followed a voice he hoped was real.
Now he encounters the truth behind it all:
a being that hungers not for flesh, but for identity, longing, and hope.
This track is the turning point where survival becomes a question of will rather than escape.
For the Listener
Listen in the quiet between notes.
Feel the air tighten around each breath.
Let the weight of the dark press inward.
This is not just a monster.
This is the Abyss…
and it is hungry.

I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist/pianist/music producer living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I write and compose, and perform my music. Here I have reimagined my songs and have re-written some of them as well using AI. Currently, all tracks found here use SUNO AI to some extent, varying from 10% to as much as 70% on a few tracks. I reserve all rights to my tracks found here. Please listen, like, and download if there is a download link. Let me know what you think if you get the chance.  Please know that I am not looking to earn money off of this. I do it for myself and hopefully there are people out there who will enjoy listening to it, for free. I like to listen to other music creators as well, and I support both 100% music creators and also those who use AI. I like that almost anyone can create a semi-professional-sounding track now.  Welcome to the music AI revolution! Thanks again, and I will see you out there!!!!
