Fadin away
There’s a part o’ me breakin’ apart
But I’d rather be broken 
Than be a whole nothin’ from the start 

It’s only the start of the day 
Already memories they tear me apart
But I’d rather be broken
Than give it all nothin from the heart 

I walk through nights with shadows that I can’t define  
They whisper of the doubts I don’t let in 
Breathing far too close to me from time to time
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

I wander roads where echoes haunt the dark beside me
They circle round the thoughts I hold within
Don’t wanna let em feel like they still define me 
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

I can’t be running away
When everything I am is falling apart 
Don’t like you seeing me broken
But I ain’t making shadows in the dark 

Oh at the end of the day 
Too many losses I could ever ignore 
But I’m only a failure 
If I don’t fight them all anymore 

I walk through nights with shadows that I can’t define  
They whisper of the doubts I don’t let in 
Breathing far too close to me from time to time
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

I wander roads where echoes haunt the dark beside me
They circle round the thoughts I hold within
Don’t wanna let em feel like they still define me 
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

I can feel the fear of somethin movin’ up along beside me
How do I keep looking far ahead of all the pain behind me 
I can feel the fear of somethin' movin’ up along beside me
How do I keep looking far ahead of all the pain behind me 

Don't wanna let the bad guys win

I walk through nights with shadows that I can’t define  
They whisper of the doubts I don’t let in 
Breathing far too close to me from time to time
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

Let the bad guys win 
Whoa bad guys win
Don't let the bad guys win
No Oh

Elysium

This is the first in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short and inconclusive tracks, which I’ve assembled by working on new and reworking on some old material adding parts and sounds. 
Will anything actually happen in the end? Unlikely. Definitely not here. Here it’s a montage of bare arpeggios in various keys.
I recorded this some weeks ago: sorry about the guitar sound, the string squeak is a bit too much; now, I hope to have fixed that investing in a better and more expensive set of strings.

This is my album Belief. I think it's one of the better grunge albums ever out there. What do you think?

2nd album. This must be one of the better grunge albums ever out there. What do you think?

Car Song

A slow-burning descent into fevered dreams and shifting realities, Fever Lucidity unfolds like a metal labyrinth, heavy, hypnotic, and disorienting. Crushing riffs and brooding rhythms carry lyrics that blur the edges of consciousness, trapping the listener in a looping maze where logic dissolves and every door leads deeper into the unknown. Dark, atmospheric, and unshakable, it lingers long after the final chord fades.

Fever Lucidity

Introducing Cosmic Thunder, the first in a series of hard-driving stoner rock anthems paying tribute to the legendary supergroups of the early 70s. "Back to 73" captures that era's raw power and cosmic energy with heavy, fuzzed-out guitars and thunderous rhythms that defined a generation. Turn it up and let it transport you back to when rock ruled the world.

CROSSROAD.

======================


November 2024.

This is a more electronic composition with a small piano touch at the end.

I try to capture in music the decisions we must constantly make in life to follow our path. I've made some wrong decisions in my life... who hasn't? But at least I can say that I made them on my own and they weren't induced, even the wrong ones. That allows me to overcome, for the time being, any regret or frustration they may cause. I believe most are irreversible because they can cause unforeseen damage, even to other people, if you backtrack and choose another path.

Happy summer, everyone.

My Lonely Acoustics 🎸 Vol. 3 (The Solo Rockaholic Preview)

When The Oils Congeal

Heavy 70s stoner rock exploring anonymous party hookups and the audacity of trying to rewrite history. When someone from your hazy past shows up wanting something real, sometimes you have to remind them exactly what you were and what you weren't.

The UK’s next-wave hard rockers Matted will release their 3rd single ‘Gaslight’ on 7th October 2025.
‘Gaslight’ follows on from their first two singles, ‘Material’ (Feb 2025) and ‘Flowers and Chains’ (Jun 2025) and throws its weight around, revealing an even punchier edge to this innovative band’s developing sound. The 5-piece are influenced by a love of rock music in all its forms.  Grunge, metal, classic, nu, rap, hip-hop and industrial can all be identified here. However, Matted’s fusion of big riffs, melodic vocals and in-your-face drums comes with an irreverence, camaraderie and a cheeky grin creating something fresh and exciting. 

‘Gaslight’ is the third song from the band’s studio sessions with McFly’s Harry Judd and Danny Jones in the producer’s chairs and has been mixed by Lewis Johns. 
Since launching in May 2024, Matted have performed at Download Festival, Call of the Wild and Planet Rockstock, supported Crashface, Armored Saint and Von Hertzen Brothers, and headlined shows in London and Brighton. Radio support has come from BBC Introducing, Total Rock, and Kerrang! Radio, with the latter naming them finalists in The Deal competition 2025.  The hashtag #mattedismassive which the band have adopted, was inspired by an on-air quote from a BBC radio presenter.

Track 8 on Stone Oracle, Hostal Handshake’s long-awaited sophomore album, is “The Lizard Sleeps in Oil”—a fast, groovy stoner rock journey laced with whammy-drenched guitar and hallucinatory sludge. The track conjures a dreamlike descent into molten riffs and cryptic imagery, exploring themes of decay, transformation, and mythic stillness.

Nearly two decades after Hellish (2007), this song marks a bold evolution for Hostal Handshake—leaning into hypnotic grooves, lyrical abstraction, and sonic experimentation. Expect layered guitars, trance-inducing rhythms, and vocals that feel more like a ritual invocation than a performance.

“The Lizard Sleeps in Oil” isn’t just a track—it’s a vision. One of the most enigmatic entries on Stone Oracle, slated to drop in 2026.

© & ℗ Hostal Handshake, 2025

lyrics:
---------
In this scorched and desert land  
A lizard sleeps beneath the sand  
Not quite dead, not truly alive  
Where human dreams no longer thrive  

Their sleeping god? Creep through the sludge  
Their civilization lost to grudge  
This tipping point sparked up this joint  
And it’s never coming back to the point  

They wait to rise with no more lies  
This could be the end of all days  
They want to see, what to believe  
Weep for rusted gods in the haze

The Lizard Sleeps in Oil

“Breath Me Out” is an emotional alternative rock track about breaking through silence, pain, and the chaos within. Heavy guitars blend with haunting atmospheres and raw vocals to capture the feeling of losing control — and finally letting go.

It’s the sound of breathing through the noise, the scream that was meant to stay unspoken.

🔥 Genre: Alternative Rock / Nu Metal / Emotional Rock
💭 Mood: Dark, Atmospheric, Introspective, Cinematic

🎵 Float above the noise.

Breath Me Out

https://soundcloud.com/vicky-adair does three tracks around the theme of Columbus Day, clearly and openly differenciating who's involved with what outcome. The track https://soundcloud.com/vicky-adair/indigenous-peoples-day touches me most and inspired an extended remix with some organic sound additions like more drumming and a flute.

Waiting for the bus, I see people lost in their own thoughts. I look away 
and get ready to get on. 


Whatever happens, it will be a different day. 

The arrival is almost here, and the journey was short.

Monuments, squares, skyscrapers... Everything reminds me of that March day when you were there 
and your curiosity pushed you further.

You said you'd never come again, and I'm here alone.

Lost in
thoughts, too, and in the newfound joy of my purpose. 
The sea awaits me, and today, with
friends,

I'll leave the comfortable hotel room to smell the sea breeze and the October sun, 
almost pale but still lively.

Whatever happens, it will be a different day. 

Everything's ready and I go down,

forgetting my phone. It's a shame I didn't bring it on the tour, and now I'm going back because anyone would. 
But,
can we really live without it? Has he really become a brother?

Our big, spying brother
who sells us to the highest bidder?

  With only my phone and a couple of photos, I return to friends for a drink
carefree. 

Whatever happens, it will be a different day

Light at the End

Cathedral of Rust – Track 9 from Hostal Handshake 💿 From the upcoming album Stone Oracle (early 2026)

A 9-minute descent into the dust-choked heart of doom. “Cathedral of Rust” is a heavy, dark, and melodic stoner rock epic—fuzzy riffs, desert winds, and slow-burning power. Think rusted monoliths, sun-scorched wastelands, and the echo of forgotten gods.

🔊 Let it drone. Let it crush. Let it breathe.

lyrics: 
Cathedral of Rust
-----------------

Altar of ash disgracing your beliefs
with all these lies, your soul melts like falling leaves
in this corruption you obey, in this sacred decay
your gospel is twisted from your flesh-bound faith

This bloodlit sanctuary
deeply embedded systemic
Preach for your own money-pocket-grab
in this cathedral, Cathedral of rust

You betrayed your flock, you betrayed your God 
using your delusion you're sending them straight to the trap
Corroded acts of a stained soul
rusted grace is life's main role

Sanctified is anything you don't accept
in this holy place you've got a huge debt
you wear the robe and you demand obedience
crystal clear the lack of your resilience

Hostal Handshake is a stoner doom / hard desert rock band from Athens, Greece, active since 2001. Following early promos and their debut album Hellish (2007, Secret Port Records), they return with Stone Oracle—their long-awaited sophomore full-length, set for release in January 2026. After 18 years, the riffs are heavier, the fuzz deeper, and the desert winds louder.
