They say he rode out of the bayou with nothing but a shotgun, a bible full of bullet holes, and a name nobody dared to whisper.

Once a good man, a preacher maybe, or a father, no one remembers for sure. But after the fire… after the blood… he made a deal beneath a blood moon, knee-deep in the swamp, whispering a psalm the Devil hadn't heard in years.

Now he rides not for justice… but for vengeance. One town at a time. One grave at a time. And with every soul he takes, another verse is added to the hymn he calls his own.

A Deadman’s Psalms is a dark Southern Gothic rap saga, soaked in revenge, dirt, and spiritual rot. Every track is a sermon from a man already gone, spoken through smoke, whiskey, and the echo of gunshots down a midnight road.

This ain’t redemption.
This is reckoning.

The Dark That Saved Him
A descent track.
A warning.
A confession.
This song comes from the place where rage stops burning and starts becoming. It’s about being swallowed by the abyss you tried to outrun, letting the darkness take the throne because it’s the only thing strong enough to hold the weight of what they did. It’s that moment when the fury gets too big for skin and turns into prophecy, power, and silence.
This is the storm I became.
This is the darkness that saved him.
And the woman I walked out as?
She didn’t break.
She transformed.
Dive in. The abyss has its own heartbeat.

The Dark That Saved Him

The old country is one of my favorites. Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, and the old crooners. I wanted to do something that matched that style, but also merged it with another love of mine, Hip-Hop. And, finally, I really love the macabre, so it's a ballad about vampires. 

Lover of the Night

When Harald Thune takes on the western classic “Ghost Riders in the Sky,” it becomes more than a new rendition — it becomes a musical revelation.
A rider in the fog. A voice from somewhere beyond.
A meeting between American mythology and Nordic darkness.

With his unmistakable voice and masterful craftsmanship, Thune captures both the drama and the stillness of the song.
The atmosphere is raw, cinematic, and deeply human.

For decades, Thune has stood as one of the most distinctive voices in Norwegian Americana.
Here he shows why: he inhabits the song completely — yet lets it breathe anew.

From pines to pavement, I blend hip-hop grit with country roots. My sound’s born from survival heartbreak, healing, and heavy bass. This is music for the ones who made it out alive

Black Barn Cartel is a shadow-born dark country collective carving out songs that feel like they were dug up behind an abandoned barn at midnight. Their sound blends outlaw grit, haunted Americana, and slow-burning Southern menace—music steeped in dust, blood, and unsaid confessions. With gravel-cut vocals, rusted guitar twang, and rhythms that stomp like boots on an empty church floor, Black Barn Cartel tells stories of desire, damnation, and the dangerous pull of the night.
