So this is Unravel, my second release. I feel it is stronger and more accessible than the first.

Making this was a journey to me, I hope listening to it will bring something of value to you people who happen upon here!

You will most probably find flaws in it (mixing, singing surely), working longer on this would have made me hate all I had done with no guarantee of achieving any better result, so I made the call and it is fine I think.

I'd like to thank all the people I met here on Soundcloud,  who supported me and ultimately made this possible. Even the offhand  comment from any of you was a big help, and pushed me to experiment new things and get what I feel to be a more focused and stronger result. Thank you truly guys.

Be sure to tell people if you like what you're hearing, they probably need it!

Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for listening!

So, I was inside, like, a giant living, organic body. There were walls of flesh all around ... huge pits with these networks of nerve like, gooey beams running down into the dark - it was very dark ... and I could hear that rumbling bassy  bubbling sound all over the place, you know like, the throbbing of life all around.

At some point I took a turn, and suddenly I was in these thick woods. I could see a yellow, brownish sky above, but it felt small and enclosed, like I was indoors. A few steps ahead there was a very small clearing. And as I approached I saw this gorgeous woman in a long red dress, dancing and singing, her long black hair swaying softly- it was incredible. And I loved her, I mean, instantly I felt genuine, deep fulfilling love for her.

A few more steps and I could clearly hear what she was singing, but it wasn't words, it was the bassy rumbling sound from before, simply  coming out of her mouth. I wanted so badly to get closer, but it all became so intense. Somehow, it was so important to me to join her, to take these last few steps, that I froze. I just stood there and I cried.

As time runs
A trail alit , drawn in gasoline
Her embrace hurts
Fate marks onto our skins, a pyromancy queen

Still I know 
The stream of her life
Beneath the earth is raging
But may she flow
Through an abyss of heavens
Where you deserve to go
So long you were kept waiting

Seep into the sun and I could feel the sun giving
The glimpse of a purpose, of a spontaneous meaning

Sewn along the seams of my existence,
A transient sight beyond a fabric of kinetics and aching

Suddenly everything around was only love combusting
But in the blink of an eye, a split second of redeeming 

An erratic life, set ablaze, incandescent
The mistakes that I kept doused in accelerant
Eventually went burning

From the ashes
To the hammer
We were forged
From a flame
From the ore
To the smelter
We were born
Into fire

From A Flame

Linger on
Feel the pull from everyone
After image of their sound
Earthen tears rise from the ground
Raining backwards to the sky
Gather into copper clouds
My heaven is a brazen one
I will dismiss all my vows
To remain and

Split the clouds, reach out
To horseheaded gods and
Lay out all the parts
Asking how they fit
Confront the mother, the matrix of things to come
For every time we've died, every time we've carried on 
I want to split

Horseheaded Gods

I feel my life is slipping
I recognize the threat in you
The crisis calls for acting
To hierarchize all of you
I'm told we need a sacrifice
I'd rather it's not me but you
Your place is lower than my own
You're fucked no matter what you do

In fear we rise 
To hail our walls
Right!
To worship the god 
Who numbs our souls
Turn right!

The Citadel

Emphasis on vocals this time, because it still feels quite new to me and I needed to explore that, also I am finding myself quite drawn to the singing as a creative tool, and I took the songwriting thing to heart this time. That release is subsequently easier to listen to than previous work (maybe?), the tracks are short and somewhat formulaic. 

I hope that the next thing will be a full length album because to me it is the best way of relating to making music, but that was ripe to release.

thank you very much for listening, best to you all

Will you carry me across
At the sight of my own face
I get this heightened sense of loss
I am done with this whole place

Home is where I cannot be
So I'll go on and sail the sea
I'll become one with what's to be
I'll always move, pretend I'm free

The tallest walls I stand before
The ocean raging over me
All the paths I couldn't see
I won't do this anymore
Loosen ties as they come free
Feel the outcome of this war
The crashing wave I longed to be
I won't do this anymore

And I will witness how waters and heavens become wedded
The link between my flesh and the light will slowly fade
And all those heavy parts shielded in salt will become leaded
To sink down to their resting place, and dissolve on the bed

And all that's ever lit my soul will rise towards the sky
And something new will come to life as what I was will die
And clouds will sing a silent praise to everything up high
Atone for all we've suffered through one gaze of silver eyes

Rise

Revolution Action (Atari Teenage Riot cover)

Hello and welcome!

This is an industrial/electro project, heavily influenced by early nine inch nails from many many years back among many other things. A lot of work goes into it and I hope you'll find something here that resonates. 

Feel free to message me about anything, I'm very much open to discussion and collaborations.

Wishing you the best

John
