ASHCOIL // Noise. Fire. Static.
A descent into the grit of industrial rock. Distorted guitars, mechanical beats, and raw vocals collide in a storm of smoke and light. This is the sound of broken wires, burned-out dreams, and the static that never fades.

DONT STOP - EVIL EDIT

Cold Vanilla Mashup MASTERED

Thanks to everyone who checked out both cuts of this track. After the first wave of feedback, it’s clear that the Raw Circuit version hit the hardest — so this is the one that lives on as Darker Than Normal. Inspired by revisiting my older track Nobody, this is me exploring the darker, industrial-core side of my music. I’ll also be working on a Halloween track in the same style, so keep an eye out 👀. Both version will still be available on Bandcamp. This will also be the first release for my latest pseudoartist addition: ASHCOIL

Lyrics:

I never fit in your perfect line 
Your clean white world will never be mine 
You call me broken, I call it free 
I live in the dark where I want to be

I won’t bow down to your shining disguise 
My truth is burning where your daylight dies

DON’T TELL ME! 
How to live your lifeless way 
I’M OBSESSED! 
With the dark I won’t betray 
THIS IS ME! 
I won’t march in your parade 
The darker side is where I’ll stay

Normal is nothing, it rots, it decays 
I’m breaking the mask from your shallow face

Your plastic smiles all look the same 
I wear my scars, I’m not ashamed 
Your system’s chains won’t keep me inside 
I breathe in the places your light can’t hide

I won’t bow down to your shining disguise 
My truth is burning where your daylight dies

DON’T TELL ME! 
How to live your lifeless way 
I’M OBSESSED! 
With the dark I won’t betray 
THIS IS ME! 
I won’t march in your parade 
The darker side is where I’ll stay

You call it darkness… I call it home.

Darker Than Normal

Techno Trance

Static in the head. Noise in the veins.
Black Static is a collision of distorted riffs, rasping vocals, and industrial grit — born from shame, rage, and the weight of bad decisions.

Driven by pounding alt-metal guitars and raw industrial pulse, this track is the follow-up to Darker Than Normal, pushing ASHCOIL deeper into the chaos.

Genre mix: Industrial Rock // Alternative Metal // Alternative Rock
Turn it up. Let the static consume.

Lyrics:

Static in my head… I can’t shut it down.

I lit the match, then cursed the flame,
Buried myself in my own shame.
Cheap thrills, bad calls, nothing left to claim,
Now I choke on the noise, and I’ve got no one to blame.

Every choice, it cuts like glass,
Every scar reminds me of the past.

Black static, tearing through my brain,
Drowning in the noise of my mistakes.
Black static, screaming out my name,
Can’t escape the mess that I’ve made.

I thought I was strong, but I broke in two,
Made a deal with the devil, he collected too soon.
Spit blood on the ground, but I still refused,
Now I’m left with the wreckage of the things I abused.

Every lie burns through my chest,
Every truth leaves me possessed.

Black static, tearing through my brain,
Drowning in the noise of my mistakes.
Black static, screaming out my name,
Can’t escape the mess that I’ve made.

Shame… shame… shame…
It’s all I taste, it’s all I breathe.
Static in my veins, it won’t let me leave.

Black static, ripping through my skin,
Punishment for the life I’m in.
Black static, calling out my crimes,
I’m the curse that I can’t unwind.

Static… all I hear is static…

Black Static

She’s the trick and the treat — a shadow crawling through the static. Seduction turns to betrayal, devotion becomes confusion, and every spark cuts deeper.

Driven by crushing guitars, industrial grit, and a chorus built for grit and rage, Witch in the Wires drags you into a storm of obsession and fire.

Genres: Industrial Rock // Alternative Metal // Alternative Rock

Noise. Fire. Static.

Lyrics:

She lit me up with a venom grin,
Pulled me close, then cut my skin.
Sweet like candy, but it burned inside,
Every kiss another lie I can’t deny.

Tricks and treats, I took the bait,
Every touch a twist of fate.

Witch in the wires, tearing me apart,
Playing with the circuit of my broken heart.
Witch in the wires, crawling through my veins,
Laughing while she feeds me on electric pain.

She bends the rules, then breaks the game,
Turns devotion into shame.
A shadow queen with a crown of fire,
Every move just pulls me higher.

Twisted love, it cuts me deep,
Wake me up or let me bleed.

Witch in the wires, tearing me apart,
Playing with the circuit of my broken heart.
Witch in the wires, crawling through my veins,
Laughing while she feeds me on electric pain.

Tricks, treats — poison in disguise,
Golden touch, but it’s all just lies.
Borderline between love and rage,
She locks me down inside her cage.

Witch in the wires, tearing me apart,
Playing with the circuit of my broken heart.
Witch in the wires, crawling through my veins,
Laughing while she feeds me on electric pain.

She’s in the wires… she’ll never leave…

Witch in the Wires

"Pulling Me Deeper" is a dark, aggressive metalcore track blending industrial grit with raw emotion. Suspicious verses build tension before erupting into explosive choruses where betrayal is first sensed. With a gritty guitar solo opening, pounding drums, and a chaotic break layered with screams, it acts as a premonition leading into the coming single Witch in the Wires (Release date Oct 10). For fans of heavy riffs, industrial atmosphere, and raw intensity.

Lyrics:

The silence feels too heavy tonight,
A quiet storm behind your eyes.
I trace the lines but they don’t align,
Something hidden, just out of sight.

Every word is colder,
Every glance cuts through.
I don’t need the answers,
I already know the truth.

I feel the current pulling me deeper,
Silent hands weaving lies in the dark.
Every touch cuts a little bit sharper,
I’m losing trust before I even start.

The wires hum a song I can’t ignore,
Your shadow’s written on the floor.
A fragile faith begins to crack,
I know there’s no turning back.

Every word is colder,
Every glance cuts through.
I can hear the silence,
And it’s screaming the truth.

I feel the current pulling me deeper,
Silent hands weaving lies in the dark.
Every touch cuts a little bit sharper,
I’m losing trust before I even start.

Lies! Lies! Lies!
Pulling me deeper!
You drag me down!

A hidden signal, calling out my name,
A secret burning, but you play the same game.
I should’ve known, I should’ve seen the signs…
But now your wires are tangled with mine.

I feel the current pulling me deeper,
Silent hands weaving lies in the dark.
Every touch cuts a little bit sharper,
I’m losing trust before I even start.

Pulling Me Deeper

This track marks the awakening of ASHCOIL. The intro theme you’ll recognize is a deliberate teaser — a signal of what’s coming next. The familiar opening ties the songs together like pieces of the same story, before the music takes a different path and grows darker, heavier, and more unrelenting. Think of it as the spark before the storm.

Lyrics:

I have waited in silence…
Buried in wires and flame…
Now the silence breaks.
ASHCOIL… AWAKENS.

ASHCOIL AWAKENS!

ASHCOIL AWAKENS…
ASHCOIL AWAKENS…

ASHCOIL AWAKENS
