If These Bullets Could Talk

Bambi the Hooker and a Case of Beer

Civeta Dei

RAY: What’s that then?
KEN:  It’s, you know, the final day on earth...when mankind will be judged for all the crimes they’ve committed...and that.  
RAY:  Oh.  And see who gets into Heaven and who gets into Hell and all that.
KEN:  Yeah.  
RAY:  And what’s the other place?  
KEN:  Purgatory.

It is the "spooky season" and, like a squirrel preparing for the winter months, I've been storing away some of the more "spooky" Interbay tracks that I've been making in order to do a week's worth theme of dark and/or scary posted tracks.  

There have already been more than a few dark and/or scary Interbay tracks already posted (maybe I should put a playlist together?)...but I'm sticking to my plan of not duplicating my efforts, if at all possible, with these SoundCloud Exclusive track posts.  

So, it will be eight tracks in a row with a darkness, a broodiness, an unease, a suspensefulness, an agitatative quality, a sense of foreboding, even, possibly outright horror.  (Eight tracks because although Halloween is next week...today...that means we're counting the same day of the week twice, so...though I promised there would not be any math, 7+1=8.)

...and we're starting with a track inspired by one of my favorite dark comedies of, let's say, the "recent" era.  The dialog snippets you'll hear when you play this track are from Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farell (yes, the original Grindlewald and, currently, The Penguin) from "In Bruges."  (Great film--not a horror film at all, though there will be blood.  There's always some blood, really.)  

As someone who grew up Catholic (which means I'm now an ex-Catholic), I too have pondered over the idea (and possibly reality) of Heaven and Hell...and the point of there being Purgatory--and that inspired this track...that weaves in some beautiful but frightening moments, full of dread lurking around each corner...and the double-kick drum ear-shattering horror one might expect from Hell.  (...at least for any of those unfortunate souls unlucky not to get Toby as their welcoming devil upon arriving for their first infernal day.)  

In some ways, some descriptions of Purgatory make it seem worse than Hell--the endless waiting for your fate to be decided, that you can't escape until it is.  Might make someone offer to take the down escalator, just to get it over with.  

This Interbay music production does not sound like what I would imagine Purgatory would sound like, if there was/is such a place.  I imagine that every speaker in the endless floor of office cubicles that Purgatory feels like it would be, would be playing an "elevator music" instrumental version of "Baby Shark", constantly on a loop...for eternity.  (...and with the volume just low enough that you can still make out what it is, but not, specifically, what part of the song is playing at any given time.)  

Not enough to be evil, but enough to push right up against the boundary of torture.  

Luckily, I don't have to believe in this stuff...at least, not until I arrive at one of three incredible destinations!  West World!  Medieval World!  Roman World!  ("Boy, has eternity got a vacation for YOU!")

It will be interesting to see how many of you will get into this themed week.  I think you'll find that the songs will sound surprisingly different from each other.  (I hope so anyway.)  But, as ever, they will ALL sound like Interbay.  

If you would, please:  play, listen, like, repost, share, comment, message, and follow...(so you don't miss any of these daily (so far!) Interbay track postings!)  

RAY:  Oh.  And see who gets into Heaven and who gets into Hell and all that.
KEN:  Yeah.  
RAY:  And what’s the other place?
KEN:  Purgatory.
RAY: Purgatory.  Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham. 

[pause] 

RAY:  Do you believe in all that stuff, Ken?
Ken: About Tottenham?

"Purgatory" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

Day Two of this Spooky Week of themed Interbay exclusive tracks here on SoundCloud brings us a technophobic horror classic from the 1970s turned into a chunky tech rocker.  

"It is something more than human, more than a computer.  It is a murderously intelligent, sensuously self programmed non-being."  

Sounds pretty terrifying, yes?  Well, it's a cult favorite...having disappointed at the box office, ruining the star power of its lead actress and driving the director severe depression in the years that followed, leading to his taking his own life.  

Hopefully nothing quite so dramatic will befall me from me being inspired by it to create today's Interbay track.  

This is not the first time that a '70s horror movie has inspired an Interbay track--over on the Interbay music project Facebook page, there are two songs that took its inspiration (and various dialog snippets) from "Ben"--the sequel to "Willard."  The movie also featured a title song that became a big hit for Michael Jackson--a love song to a rat named Ben.  So, full of horror, is what I'm saying.  

I can't guarantee anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if another track to be posted this week ALSO takes inspiration from a scary and/or horror movie...but I can't guarantee it won't, either.  

If you're enjoying Spooky Week, let me know!  Play the track, give it a like, repost it on your page, share it with your friends, leave a comment, and follow Interbay here on SoundCloud, as new tracks are being posted every day (so far!) and you wouldn't want to miss any!  (...and, as ever, a follow earns a follow back!)

Mick Gordon / Doom inspired track with a bit of a personal twist. This was actually my first time attempting to recreate this genre. I don't usually upload what I make but this is my favorite track out of everything I do. Made with FL Studio, feedback is appreciated!

Beneath Two Suns

Beneath Two Suns (Nocturne for the Forgotten Future ft. John Heckathorn of Antediluvian Projekt)

Crossing the Rubicon is a progressive instrumental band that fuses the intensity of metal with the fluidity of jazz and fusion. Founded by guitarist and composer Alejandro in Dayton, Ohio, the project began as a solo endeavor and has grown into a full ensemble defined by complex rhythms, soaring melodies, and the unmistakable voice of the saxophone within modern progressive soundscapes.

Since its early releases (Ascension, Bloom, Matter), the band has pushed boundaries with genre-bending compositions that combine the heaviness of Meshuggah, the harmonic sophistication of Plini, and the groove of Animals as Leaders. Along the way, Crossing the Rubicon has shared the stage with national acts such as Yngwie Malmsteen and earned recognition from publications including It Djents (now Everything Is Noise) and Prog Sphere.

After years of evolution, lineup changes, and experimentation, the group entered a new era in 2024 with a revitalized roster:

Alejandro – Guitar, founder, composition

Gabriel Coffing – Drums (Columbus, OH)

Madison Jones – Guitar (Washington State)

Adam Knox – Bass (Dayton, OH)

Jonathan Baldwin – Saxophone (Dayton, OH / Las Vegas, NV)

Together, this lineup is preparing the forthcoming concept album Knowledge (2025). The record represents both a reinvention and a culmination of the band’s journey, exploring themes of transformation and identity through a progressive metal lens while blending influences from deathcore, funk, avant-garde jazz, and beyond into a cohesive sonic narrative.

With dynamic compositions that shift between technical precision and melodic introspection, Crossing the Rubicon creates music that is both cerebral and visceral. On SoundCloud, listeners can explore the band’s evolving catalog, from early epics like Bloom to the psychedelic explorations of Metempsychosis and the powerful new direction that defines their current era.

Crossing the Rubicon is not only a band but an ongoing exploration of sound, story, and spirit.

ABRAKALABRIA blends techno, Mediterranean groove and free improvisation. The bass is the heartbeat, the piano the lyrical voice, the groove the unifying force, and improvisation the living spirit. Each track and performance is a sonic ritual where the ego dissolves, opening the path to pure musical energy.
Everything is crafted in full independence: recording, mixing, mastering. No use of AI: I deliberately keep human imperfections as a plus of truth, keeping the music alive and authentic.

Thank you, with all my heart and soul, for every listen, comment, or like. I'm truly grateful."
