This is the titeltrack from "Where Evil Lurks", one of my earliest albums, written back in 1993. This concept album features a dark and hauntingly gothic musical tale that will make you keep the lights on for nights on end...

The House (title track from "Where Evil Lurks, Special Edition")

Probably the only lighthearted track on "Where Evil Lurks", and still one of my favourites of this early album.
Listening back now to music that I wrote- well, I couldn't even "write" music at that time to be precise-  some 23 years ago, is somehow strange. I notice the flaws, the technical limitations of my equipment then and there, the youthful naivity of my undeveloped musical language...and yet, this younger me still moves me.
