I originally intended to expand this out just a bit and work with a female vocalist to turn this into a duet, but... I've accidentally made a 12 minute long thrash epic in 3 movements. This is part 1, the subsequent parts will be uploaded later!

Here's an original song inspired by the worms still eating my grey-matter from the game "Needy Streamer Overload". I've sampled the classic Amen-Break as well as "Do you love me?" by Aiobahn.

do you love me still? - Part I  (Needy Streamer Overload Song | Thrash Metal + Drum N' Bass)

MYSTERY - Writing On The Wall

Enter the dark forest and feel the mystical presence of Brother Bran in this heavy metal track. With gritty vocals and a driving guitar riff, this song conjures an eerie atmosphere as we question the whereabouts of the elusive Brother Bran. Lyrically, it evokes ominous tales of secrets in the shadows and crooked ways. Let the hypnotic refrain pull you into the depths of the woods as you search for Brother Bran. A collaboration with vocalist Bosworth Acres-Debenham, this track blends metal with a folkloric edge.

Brother Bran

Brother Bran Where You Been

Die Leitkultur in diesem Land
hat schon mal Bücher verbrannt.

Im Land der Dichter und Denker
treiben die Meinungslenker
gehorsame Menschenmassen
in glitzernde Ladenstraßen
Wir sollen die Dichter verehren,
doch nicht, was sie uns lehren.

Im Land von Goethe und Schiller
wird die Vernunft immer stiller.
Wir sollen durch konsumieren
die Lust am denken verlieren
und nur die Dichter verehren,
doch nicht, was sie uns lehren.

Im Land von Hesse und Mann
greift man die Denker an.
Wir sollen nicht auf sie hören,
weil sie die Ausbeutung stören.
Und nur die Dichter verehren,
doch nicht, was sie uns lehren.

Im Land von Kafka und Heine
liebt man die Euroscheine
und feiert das Vaterland
am liebsten ohne Verstand.
Wir sollen die Dichter verehren,
doch nicht, was sie uns lehren.

It took us twenty some years
To go back to the drawing board
In the silence that no one hears
Trying but failing to not get bored

Do you remember us? We don't think so
Probably never knew we existed
Yet here you are, nothing better to do, so
Can we at least pretend that you missed us?

Take our hand
And fly away
Although you know what
Better don't

We don't know
What words to sing
Yet here we have
A banger!

O, how the times have flown
From tracking our guitar in the bedroom
To sitting here all alone
Prompting the A.I. in the kitchen

We don't even have to sing
This thing does better than we ever will
It even sounds a bit like Fat Mike
So let's just nod our heads to the rhythm!

The Comeback Song (We Have a Banger)

Burned By Brazen Bull

Album Description: "Ghost Division" (2021)
"Ghost Division" is a powerful and atmospheric music album released in 2021. It delves into themes of war, unseen forces, and haunting echoes from the past. The album features tracks like "Phantom Battalion," "Shadows of War," and "Stealth Strike," each capturing the eerie and ominous presence of ghostly warriors and futuristic battles. With a mix of heavy guitar riffs, ambient sounds, and dramatic orchestral arrangements, "Ghost Division" transports listeners to a world where spectral soldiers and Haunebu UFOs dominate the night skies. The album cover, depicting a war-torn field under a dark, misty night, perfectly complements the haunting and mysterious mood of the music.

War Ghosts

"Revival" takes me back to my earlier influences such as Biohazard and other NYHC bands that delivered powerful riffs and in-your-face lyrics - all delivered with that trademark aggression. The song explores being constantly put down by a narcissist until you are just a shell of your former self. That is until you realize what is happening and make moves to escape.

"Hardcore Punk has always resonated with me, and I find myself coming back to it on the regular."

This happened to me years ago. I think I am over it and it is water under the bridge, but then when I see someone who looks like that person, my blood pressure rises, and I get super angry and anxious. So, I know I am nowhere near being over it, and it still affects me to this day. I am also angry I allowed someone to do that to me over an extended period of time.

When it was time to pen lyrics for the hardcore riffs, I did as I usually do: I hit record, stepped up to the mic, and started yelling. The first verse is pretty much exactly what I yelled off the cuff, just freestyled into the mic. Then I wrote the rest of the song around it.

"I hit record, stepped up to the mic, and started yelling. The first verse is pretty much exactly what I yelled off the cuff."

Revival

[Verse]
City burns black sky splinters
Walking shadows blur my sight
Metal whispers cold surrender
Rust and ash taste the night

[Verse 2]
Iron fists break bone and pride
Smoke and steel under moonlight gleam
Towering walls crush every stride
Machine breathes end to dream

[Chorus]
Scream through veins in fires stoked
Hell's hymn crackles in the storm
Breathe poison love choke on lies
Dark souls reborn night reborn

[Bridge]
Angels weep in iron tombs
Demons dance to steel chains sway
Thunder roars in endless glooms
Blood and oil paint decay

[Verse 3]
Broken streets spread scars wide open
Wreckage ways maps forsaken
Eyes like metal hearts they're frozen
Deep under pain's dark curtain

[Chorus]
Scream through veins in fires stoked
Hell's hymn crackles in the storm
Breathe poison love choke on lies
Dark souls reborn night reborn
