The point of this album is to bring you on an adventure roughly 120,000,000 years ago. To give a sense of scientific adventure liken to Jules Verne novels but while still having a more up to date and accurate sense of dinosaurs and other creatures. (*This is why I chose not to have any theatrical over the top sounds and only modified noises of crocodilians and birds without syrinx. Also it is why I chose a certain age and only based the atmosphere around animals that lived roughly in the same geological age rather than mix Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus etc*)

Inspired by the artwork/literature of Gregory S Paul, Mark Witton, Michael Crichton, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, and Albert Bierstadt.

Satanic Warmaster: Chant of the Barbarian Wolves (Lyre cover by Undeaf)

A cover of "the crying orc" done on my lyre.  I had to edit some of the tracks digitally to be an octave lower so it doesn't sound as organic but it was needed as my lyre only has 16 strings and I couldn't do it without making that edit.

Burzum: Crying Orc (Lyre cover by Undeaf)

This was my first album.  I made it at a point in my life where I had first started to experiment with psychedelics and was obsessed with the works of Michael Crichton. ( I don't completely disown this but I would recommend listening to my other works as I had a lot more time to record them and improved my playing and editing.  With this album I rushed the recording on the last day of winter break when I was in trade school)

The Forgotten Trail

In a time were we have so little control over our own lives it leads us feeling empty. In a world where we are constantly told to buy more and more very few of us realize what will actually lead to happiness...
