A melancholic acoustic grunge tale of emotional conflict, longing, and the allure of escape. ‘Fatal Affair’ reads like a love story—but beneath the surface, it’s a poetic reckoning with the darkest kind of temptation. Beautifully tragic and brutally honest.

The Fatal Affair

A gritty, full-throttle rock anthem from Michael Allen — The Tactician Musician. “War Machine” fuses 90s grunge with modern edge, channeling the chaos of identity, survival, and scars that don’t fade. Heavy guitars, raw vocals, and unapologetic truth.

War Machine

“Slow Down” is more than just a song—it’s a piece of me. This is the most personal song I’ve ever written, drawn straight from my own struggles, my time at war, and the battles that didn’t end when I came home. It’s about the reckless choices I made when I thought I had nothing to lose, the numbness that set in, and the moments where I questioned if I could keep going.
