The story behind this one is that Rob Ulysses of Archmage Band often has a reoccurring dream setting that he calls the "Macabre Coast".

We tried out a new style for this one, a darker more ambient approach with slow, heavy and steady beats and haunting synth bells.

This song is a theme song for our game in progress of the same name. We hope that you like the result when it's ready.

Originally the song is 6 1/2 miinutes long. This is a shorter radio edit version produced by Neons Gone Mad. We think they did an excellent job! ♥

Here is their brilliant music video for this track.  https://youtu.be/dihlEVVSHRg

More versions of this track are in the works. We'll post it as an EP when those versions are finalised.

Lyrics:

Recurring dreams
Of foreshores

Galloping foam
White horses

Mercury depths
Sorcerer's

Rime, as in hoarfrost
Wizened verses

As I watch the ocean's waves breaking through,
I ponder what such ancient waters must know
Witness valuable scenes far beyond the ship’s bow
While my own vague accounts may be false when anew
For what knows the ocean, and so much of it true,
Humankind bears no proof and the ocean no woe.
Its waves disregard with an infinite flow,

Why is a thought
like the sea?

An idiosyncrasy?

Tied to the moon's
apogee?

Why is a thought so
like the sea?

Knowledge left on the sand before swept away too.
And when the ageless heart of the tide
Would listen to questions that were asked by the best
Inquiries of paradox, of life and of death
It knows not whether to heed and abide

It's a notion
It's an ocean

It's a notion
It's an ocean

[Spirit radio voice]
Because we are connected through that droplet we are able to go back to that ocean through our dreams and can connect all the information that we need and bring it back with us through our sacred dream doors.

Macabre Coast

Why Is A Thought Like The Sea? (The Macabre Coast) w/ Michael Warwick and Masha Solo on vocals

Macabre Coast - Masha Solo ft. Michael Warwick of Neons Gone Mad

I wanted to be part of somebody's fresh start
And the feelings I found
Would leave me wanting, wanting more

You never know what is coming your way
Through the eye of the storm
There are the raging, raging waves

It's black, blue, hot-white, blood on the floor
Taking everything I can get through the door
It's not good it's plain to see
Let you abuse me, abuse me

I love you while the sun goes does
As a ghost, I wander
I'll love you on my own
Like a ghost

Out of your room, and into the hall
There are tiles on the floor
Like a Checker board that's broken
I see red wax from the nights gone before
In the organised chaos
That makes want you, want you more

I'm black, blue, hot-white, barely alive
Doing anything I can do to survive
Comme Jules et Jim chaque nuit
But it is futile, futile woah

I love you while the sun goes does
As a ghost, I wander
I'll love you on my own
As a ghost

You let the sun go down on me that night
Right before my eyes a moment came alive
If I had never said the things that I said
Would I still have died?
Would I still have died?

I love you while the sun goes does
As a ghost, I wander
I'll love you on my own
As a ghost

Ghost

"Dark House" is a haunting fusion of darkwave, alt rock, emo rap, industrial, and gothic synth. The song explores themes of isolation, regret, and inner demons, portrayed through an eerie, atmospheric soundscape. The lyrics depict a self-created prison where memories and shadows haunt the protagonist. With a mix of reflective verses, powerful choruses, and layered whispers, the track builds a gripping and darkly emotional experience.



Dark House

Statue Machine is the musical collaboration of Surrey electronic music creator and producer Milkrota and south coast lyricist and musician Innes X.
Curtis is  a tribute to Joy Division’s Ian Curtis who left us 45-years ago in May.
Innes said the idea of the song came from watching the classic live footage of the band performing Transmission.

[Clartarius][Prayer for the living]

[Clartarius][Reformation]

This music that was supposed to appear in a demo called "Hallows' Eve" before the release of the album "Misty Witchcraft". The recording was made in early 2023 and was supposed to be released for Halloween in collaboration with another French project, which ultimately never saw the light of day. So I place here the first track of this demo which represents well the atmosphere that I wanted to bring out through Autumn Enchantments, with this magical aspect of autumn without being in this side of the gothic with: Orange Leaf Dust.

Forgotten walkers, I hope this piece will be spellbinding for you, let yourself be carried by the dancing shadows of midnight and continue your sorrow towards the tall grass of the paths in order to find the grave. Grief is the reflection of both the romantic darkness of the gothic and the mystical wonder of an eternal autumn. Spirits of the fallen leaves... 🍂

Autumn Enchantments - Orange Leaf Dust

Песня-заклинание для тех, кто прячется от зимы в звуке.
Для тех, кого лечит музыка, когда слова молчат.
Каждая борозда винила — это шрам,
каждый трек — шанс не раствориться в тишине.

Глубокий голос, эмбиент, тьма и тепло.
Спокойный рэп и поэтический spoken word
о тоске, воспоминаниях и свете в дрожащем окне.

Убежище Винила

Лирический манифест, выкованный в тишине и огне.
Эта песня — духовное путешествие сквозь Страсть, Мудрость, Справедливость и Внутренний Огонь,
где каждая добродетель не даруется — а завоёвывается болью, смелостью и самообладанием.
Никакой славы. Никаких наград. Только путь. Только душа.

Медленная подача, атмосферные текстуры, поэтические речитативы
и слияние spoken word с неоклассикой и тёмным рэпом —
гимн для тех, кто восстаёт в одиночестве… и находит свободу в себе.

"Ask the Dust" is a dark and powerful electronic track that pulls you into a digital wasteland of fractured memories and forgotten signals. With its grinding basslines, haunting synth arpeggios, and aggressive drops, the song explores the idea that progress can lead to disaster. It's a journey through static and shadows, asking what remains when everything you knew has turned to dust.

Ask the Dust

Bonus track for the physical release of the album Misty Witchcraft by Autumn Enchantments, upcoming in fall 2026. Nocturnis represents the atmosphere of October during nightfall, the quiet atmosphere of lost villages where we hear the atmosphere of nature through the darkness...

Autumn Enchantments - Nocturnis (Bonustrack)

French musician multi-instrumentalist.
Owner of Ancient King Records.

Audio Illusionz is where darkness meets energy. The music moves through gothic EDM, darkwave, industrial beats and experimental textures, with flashes of stripped acoustic reflection and the occasional playful song. Every track aims to bend perception with heavy drops, haunting melodies, surreal lyrics and raw emotion.

This is not background music. It’s full immersion. Press play and step in. Relax.

Archmage Band was founded in 2013 by Rob and Masha, who are a musician couple and synth pop duo from Australia.

I built Shiitake Products because the world needed a home for beautiful nonsense and soul-splitting truth.

- Sometimes that looks like a dancefloor meltdown at 2am.
- Sometimes it’s a button that says “Mildly Okay Human.”
- Sometimes it’s a whispered hymn to grief.

It’s all real. It’s all me. This is my multiverse—and you’re invited.

Here, AI collides with human emotion to create music that actually means something.
From dark trap bangers to cinematic alt-rock anthems, from emo-folk confessionals to glitch-satire ballads—every track is a story, a mood, a moment.
Not built for algorithms.
Built to feel.

🎧 Genres? Trap. EDM. Alt-rock. Rap-rock. Folk. Comedy. Chaos.

🧠 Themes? Rage. Love. ADHD spirals. Existential dread. Healing. Heartbreak. Hope.

🎯 Mission? To punch through the noise—and hit something real.


🔥 Want your story turned into a song? I do that.

🎁 Every listen helps fund more sonic experiments, more weird merch, and more beautiful noise.

⚠️ Marketers & "design bros" beware: I will waste your time on purpose.

Me, Myself & I.
Living my gaming chronicle —
existential buoyancy pierced by delirium
inside a virtual asylum.

Poet. Soul on fire. Shadowwalker between three worlds.

I don’t write songs —
I write sound the way others write scripture.
Each track is a confession:
wrapped in piano,
burned by cello,
cut by rap.

I sing for the broken.
For the dreamers.
For the ones who stare into the night… and still believe.

My voice weaves through languages —
Spanish, English, Russian —
and across genres like a scar:
existential hip hop · rap · dark folk · neoclassical ballad · sacred spoken word · trap noir…

Dark beats. Cold truths. Sacred verses.
I take rap and lace it with cello screams and piano tears.
No lies. No filters.
Just blood and rhythm.

My tracks are diaries.
Rituals.
Decay in motion.
