Cursed and Crowned is a relentless journey through spiritual battle, redemption, and raw emotion. Inspired by the heaviness of Bullet for My Valentine and the cinematic depth of modern metalcore, it blends crushing breakdowns, soaring clean choruses, and lyrics that confront the darkness head-on while pointing to the light. From the haunting “Graveheart” to the anthemic title track, every song bleeds passion, pain, and the victory found in surrender.



Graveheart

The throne is eternal. The ice is unyielding.
“Crown of Frost” is the unrelenting battle hymn of the Ice Emperor from Ninjago. Fusing icy pop rock melodies with the pulse of trap beats, this track embodies the frozen rule of a king who commands the storm itself. It’s the sound of an empire carved from frost and fear — a realm where no flame survives, and no will stands unbroken

Soon to be released Dying Stage album. Updated 11/15/2020

Near July

Returning back to my roots a little here.. After "Walk Away" I wanted to experiment more with synth sounds, arpeggios and the likes. My goal was to create something smooth and relaxing that I'd almost classify as "bath tub music". At the end of the day, it's still "Paul music".

Be sure to set aside 10 minutes of interruption-free time for this journey. Hope you like it.

Skeleton Key 💀

This is my "librarian rock song". I spent more time on this than what I should have, recording in a very hot room, in the summer. The process recording this was almost backwards. I think I learned a few things about what not to do. Hopefully, you'll get something out of it.

K's blues

First song with my little sister on vocals. Did a silly challenge to use only one chord throughout the entire song.
