You Leave me Blue

The sun is slowly peeping through the curtain
sweat is beading on my brow
last night I drank away my hurtin'
it's all coming back to me now

I fell in love with you before I got to know you
I guess it's true that love is blind
but I kept thinking maybe that I could change you
the only thing I changed was my mind

and I've been lonely for so long
I'll try again with you 
knowing that it's wrong
it's so untrue
you lead me on
you leave me blue

Now here I am standing outside your door
you break my heart and I come back for more
after all the heartache you've put me through
I'm still in love with you

and I've been lonely for so long
I'll try again with you
knowing that it's wrong
it's so untrue
you lead me on
you leave me blue





You Leave me Blue

Glass House Choices

Herby Records started as a bored pandemic project between Frank Herbertson (management) and Justin Jackley (graphic design) in 2020. It was originally intended as a vehicle for Justin’s artwork and as a way to help promote our many musician friends around the world by releasing/re-releasing existing albums bearing Justin’s artwork already and making new ones. We quickly decided to set a goal of releasing 100 records over 10 years and then creating and releasing a book with a physical double 10” compilation album in 2030. We are currently well beyond the halfway point in physical releases, and this digital only free compilation album commemorates that milestone.

We would like to thank the dozens of musicians that have been a part of Herby Records for the past 5 years and allowed us to release their artistry - mostly on limited edition lathe-cut records from 13 to 25 copies and 5 releases as traditionally pressed vinyl records in editions of 100 to 200. We have worked with and are currently working with lots of great artists that create music in the genres of Psychedelic, Surf, Kraut, Doom, Drone, Punk, Dungeon Synth, and Avante-garde Experimental stuff that is often pretty “out there”. The connecting factor is that it is all music that we like! Thanks to Simon Feret (Psych9 Records) for putting up with the beast of a 70-year-old Rek-O-Kut lathe-cut machine in Guatemala and personally cutting most of our records and collaborating on and co-releasing many albums with Herby Records.

Thanks to the ongoing support of It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine for interviewing and sharing our musicians’ music and Ross Beattie (It’s Psychedelic Baby Podcast) and Salvatore Tornabene (Thee Midnight Snack) for playing our records on the airwaves.

Thank you Adam Majdecki-Janicki for being the first musician to release an album on Herby Records in 2020 under A.J. Kaufmann – ‘Stoned Gypsy Wanderer 2’ and for collaborating on so many other releases with his own record label, Via Kosmische, and for suggesting and coordinating this compilation album through the record store he works in, Wino & Winyle, in Poznań, Poland. https://winoiwinyle.bandcamp.com/

None of this could have happened without the collaboration of our friends and the support of our fans that continuously buy our records. We encourage you to follow the links to individual musician pages and buy their physical media when possible. Thanks for everything and stay tuned for the next 5 years and some more weird shit.

Chapter IV “Event Horizon Collapse”


Return Signal

For a moment, it felt like victory.

The Anthem had united millions. Creator drones fell. Fleets reclaimed orbit. Survivors dared to whisper a forbidden word again, hope.


Then came the return signal.


A ripple spread through space, not light or sound, but a vibration that made stars flicker and blood boil. Sensors flagged it as background radiation… until the readings inverted.


Dormant black holes began to breathe.

Event horizons expanded like lungs exhaling annihilation.

Reality itself started to rewrite from the inside out.


The Great Folding


Universe 11 fell first. Its suns dimmed. Orbits warped. Entire fleets were dragged backward into nothing.


The Harrowguard tried to flee, but gravity had turned against them.

The Creators no longer needed armies, they could tilt reality.


Planets folded in half, their crusts peeling like pages before dissolving into the dark.

Final transmissions ended mid word:

“We’re falling, up”

Then silence.


Fractured Fleet


The remaining universes locked down.

Half their forces defended what was left of the living; the rest investigated the collapse.


Commander Serin Vahl, hero of the Siege of Caladrex, led the Eclipse Meridian into the distortion fields near Universe 10’s edge.


Gravity flowed sideways.

Time fractured like glass.

Stars bled colors no eye had ever seen.


At the center: something alive.

A Creator Engine, a machine larger than galaxies, humming in impossible silence.


It was rewriting existence, erasing entire histories in seconds.

Vahl ordered full recordings before contact was lost.

Those frequencies later became the foundation of the song “Event Horizon Collapse,” translating gravitational distortion into rhythm.


Graviton War


When the Harrowguard broadcast the data, the sound itself became destructive.

Planets shook apart under the bass frequencies of collapsing gravity.


Scientists called it Resonant Stabilization.

Soldiers called it Praying with Noise.

They played the Anthem constantly during battle, hoping it could hold reality together for a few seconds longer.


But the truth was clear:

The Creators weren’t fighting anymore.

They were erasing the board.


Cmdr Vahl’s Last Message


Three days after contact was lost, the Eclipse Meridian’s final transmission arrived, audio only, no visuals.

A trembling voice beneath the hum of distortion:


“We’ve seen it. The machine isn’t making war, it’s deleting memory, thought, history itself.

If anyone hears this… don’t look into the light. Save what you can. Hide it. Before the collapse reaches your skies.”


Then came the Harrowlight signal, warped, slowed, still human.

It became known as The Mourning Pulse, the first universal requiem.


By the time it faded, only eight universes remained.

The Harrowguard withdrew to deep orbit fortresses, their anthem reduced to static and whispers.


From the last transmission, the orphaned girl’s voice returned, older now, hardened by loss:


“If they erase us, we’ll rewrite ourselves.

This isn’t extinction.

This is reinvention.”


And thus began The War Protocol, the final defiance, a desperate plan to turn the Creators’ own machines against them.



Event Horizon Collapse

05 - Ashes Of Yesterday - “Crimson Rain”

A tortured rap-metal confession about fighting through poisoned hope and broken faith. “Venom in the Prayers” blends rapid-fire aggression with a massive melodic chorus, capturing the battle between doubt and the will to rise again. Dark, emotional, heavy, and painfully real.
