This here is a little ditty I wrote last year. I thought it sounded a bit cowpunk so I gave it the unimaginative name Cowpunk 24. I played around with sounds and ended up playing my acoustic electric through my Vox amp with maximum flanger. Yeeharrrr!

The Secret of the Future (2005)
You can clearly hear the gothic rock influence in this song. The slow and dramatic build is what makes „The Secret of the Future“ another hidden favourite. Same as „Seven Days to Live“ I imagined a dark mezzosoprano, but did not find the perfect voice for years. Writing the lyrics was very tough. No matter how often I listened to that song, my pages remained blank. I am currently working on a new version of it.

It' s time now    to worry    'bout all those    sad children
like we were,    two brothers    deported    abroad.

Just sent away
to enjoy your heyday.

INTRO

We should talk    about it,    there' s no time    to keep quiet.
The wound must    be cared for,    it' s your turn,    come on now.

Give up your life lie,    I have no more tears to cry.
Nothing I haven' t tried    but all you did was hide.

Oh, why don' t you love me?
Mhm, why don' t you care?
+ instr.


Don' t tell me    that' s your way    to show your    strange love,
it' s hurting,    just hurting    and I know you' ll    never change

You' re too weak to say the words    "sorry for all that hurt,
I' ve caused deep scars in your heart,    ignored how precious you are".

Sad Children  ft. ZHOCA

Into the Abyss (2025) – Calling out fake friends
At some point in life, we all come across fake friends, who pretend to care and drag you into the abyss. The lyrics channel the raw frustration of being used, betrayed and misled. "Into The Abyss" is a cathartic scream for justice, a metalcore song that pulls no punches, when it comes to calling out toxic people.

Into the Abyss

Into the Abyss (feat. Daniel Hiatt)

I was listening back to my band from back in the 90s This Elegant Chaos and thinking this needs to be heard again. 
This was a band that formed quickly from other bands we had all been in previously.
With 90s Britpop/ Indie Alternative Rock still very relevant. I thought these tracks need a fresh outing. 
I would consider this band to be some of my best work to date. 
So I’ve decided to release a track every time I have a space in between current releases. 
This track Dreaming Of Johnny is about a dream I had about meeting John Lennon after he faked his own death to be free from media/ music industry pressure. He was living in Walsall on Sea in the West Midlands in a flat. 
Yes I know it doesn’t make any sense but it’s a dream. Tells the story of meeting him and explaining why he faked his death. 
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

Dreaming Of Johnny (This Elegant Chaos ~ Magino Line Album)

V1
Asked a man standing outside a lift
Does a genius live here with a certain gift
He pointed his finger to the very top floor
But saying that I can’t be sure
We was elevated to floor nine
When I knocked it was all out of time
She open the door dressed in lace
I’d finally arrived at Johnny’s place

Chorus 1
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality

V2
A grubby white room with a yellow table
Just like my mothers, only more stable
You have failed me in your far as dream
As he offered me coffee with cream
I faked my death to be free
But that’s just between you and me
Dreams are sometimes closer than reality
Waking up, reveals the true brutality

Full Chorus 2
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality
Dreaming of Johnny 
Suburban coastlines
Dreaming of Johnny 
He lives at number 9

Middle 8
Imagine whatever gets you through the night
If it’s instant Karma, then I’m losing you
I am I beautiful boy, playing mind games
Where what why and who

Dreaming of Johnny 
Dreaming of Johnny 

Finish on a full chorus 




Dreaming Of Johnny - This Elegant Chaos

Set Free  by Glenny G ( August 14th 2025 )
A reflective journey exploring a vast length of time that has passed. I thought I would release this one today as food for thought and comments. Cheers from Glenny G

🕯️ The Black Cross – Dirty Black Summer (Remastered)

“The fire still burns. The shadows still sing.”

The Black Cross returns to the altar of sin and sound with Dirty Black Summer (Remastered), a reimagined descent through Danzig’s infernal legacy — now reborn in cinematic gothic metal form.
Every track has been sharpened, deepened, and rebirthed with the band’s signature blend of dark ritual and raw emotion.

The remastered collection ignites classics like “Her Black Wings,” “Sistinas,” and “Am I Demon,” alongside newly rewritten incarnations — “The Hunter (New Version),” “Going Down To Die (New Version),” and “She Rides (New Version)”. Each one transformed into darker, more unholy reflections of their original form.

Two brand-new offerings complete the invocation:
🩸 “Devil’s Plaything” — a seductive hymn of pain and pleasure.
🐍 “Serpentia” — Lilith’s venomous song of rebirth and sin.

Dirty Black Summer (Remastered) is not nostalgia — it’s resurrection. A ritual in sound where every note bleeds, and every word burns.
