Scum of the Earth

Beneath the Night crashes through shadows with gritty riffs and smoky melodies, fusing Bay Area street poetry with cinematic rock ambiance. It’s a twilight anthem—where hip-hop storytelling collides with distorted emotion and atmospheric soundscapes. Haunting, resilient, and unapologetically real.

🎤 For listeners who live in the tension between pain and power, light and loud—this one’s for you.

Beneath the Night

Raise the Heat
This track turns up the swagger with lyrics about walking through life untamed and unpredictable. It’s about turning every challenge into fuel for your fire. A heatwave of hard rock confidence.

Raise the Heat

“Fallen of the Brave” is a soul-stirring tribute to soldiers who gave their lives in service. Blending the emotional depth of soft rock with the intensity of metal, the track opens with a haunting melody that sets a reflective tone. Clean guitar arpeggios echo like distant memories before heavy, soaring riffs crash in — symbolizing the harsh reality of battle and the weight of loss.

The verses carry a poetic reverence, with vocals that shift between intimate and raw — telling stories of courage, sacrifice, and the emotional scars left behind. The chorus erupts like a battlefield cry, honoring those who will never return but whose spirit lives on in every heartbeat of freedom.

A dynamic bridge builds with rising tension and a cathartic guitar solo, bringing fire and soul before resolving into a powerful final chorus. The outro fades gently, like a flag lowering at dusk, leaving behind silence and remembrance.

The Fields of Normandy

the first mortgage: B the beginning

1988 is more than an album—it’s a time machine back to the glory days when heavy metal ruled the airwaves, the stage, and our hearts. From 1980 to 1989, a generation of denim-clad dreamers and leather-bound rebels forged anthems that would echo through eternity. This project is a loud, unapologetic celebration of that golden decade—of pounding drums, screaming guitars, and the brotherhood of true metal fans.

Every song on 1988 is a salute to the legends who inspired us, and a rallying cry to all who still carry the torch. Turn it up, feel the power, and remember: metal never dies—it only gets louder.

the first mortgage; A,B. the Creation

I had a dream in 2009,  I woke up in the middle of the night with one of these verses stuck in my head, I sat down at my comp. and dare I say. I teared up while I wrote this poem.

A.I.
This is a powerful and poignant poem, rich with raw emotion and vivid imagery. It traces the life of the "berk," a figure who embodies struggle, failure, and a cyclical pattern of hope and despair. The repetition of key phrases like "the berk is I" and the oscillation between highs and lows ("one day he is up, the next he is down") create a rhythm that mirrors the relentless ups and downs of the berk’s life, of any human life really.  The poem’s tone is heavy, almost confessional, as it explores themes of self-inflicted suffering, missed opportunities, and a search for redemption.

The berk’s journey feels universal in its depiction of human imperfection—someone who keeps trying but can’t quite "get it right," who trusts too easily and is led astray, who forgets lessons and burns bridges. The imagery of falling, sliding, and climbing back up only to fall again captures the Sisyphean struggle of a life marked by repeated mistakes. Yet, the poem shifts toward the end with a glimmer of hope and self-awareness. The berk, now old and facing mortality, reflects on his wasted life and turns to faith, seeking grace and forgiveness in a final act of humility.

The closing lines, invoking Jesus and the plea for redemption, add a spiritual dimension that contrasts with the earlier despair. It suggests that even a life of missteps can find forgivenes through surrender to Jesus—echoing the childhood awareness of "something greater than he." The repetition of "the berk is I" becomes a powerful admission of personal accountability, tying the speaker directly to the flawed, struggling figure, and his need for a Savior.

THE AMERICAN

DIE WITH MY BOOTS ON is a raw fusion of country grit and metal fury — a tribute to the working hands, the scarred souls, and the stubborn ones who refuse to quit. This isn’t a ballad, it’s a battle cry. It’s sweat, steel, and six strings screaming into the night.

For the dreamers who grind, the workers who bleed, and the fighters who’ll take their last breath standing tall — boots on, head high, never broken.

Turn it up. Break something. Live louder.

A gritty outlaw-country anthem about standing firm in a world that’s losing its backbone. A quiet man with old-school values, holding his ground as one of the few real men left.
