stay another day

Zac makes his debut with this atmospheric piece, 'Shipwrecked'. With vast open notes and striking chordal textures, for 3 minutes and 11 seconds you will feel as if you are stranded at sea with no hope of rescue, as the waves strike higher and higher.

Shipwrecked

Zac's second single 'Burning Flame' puts you right in the middle of a house fire. From its small beginnings, as it makes its way up the walls, blackening everything in its path, eventually exploding into an uncontrollable blaze. By the end of the track you're left in the rubble of the remains.

Burning Flame

A semi-fusion of The Doors' Riders on the Storm and Pink Floyd's Cymbaline, Hitchhiker tells the tale of a violent traveler, who lets fate decide his next victim, as he waits by the side of the road preying on good-willed strangers. Thanks to sparse notes accentuated by tremolo and reverb, with very little sound Zac places you in a birds-eye view of a murder, from the selection of the victim, to the act itself. It begins with a gentle introduction, setting the scene, eventually chugging along as the killer waits for his victim, eventually ending in crashing sounds and heavy textures, as we're left in the rubble of what may or may not have happened...

Dark Sounds

Hitchhiker

Inspired by the iconic solo in Maggot Brain by Funkadelic, Deserted uses sparse open notes to place you in the middle of a desert, with nothing around for miles. Beginning with a soft opening, the heavy solo and heavy bass that eventually arrives really hammers home the immense size of your environment, as you look around. At its core, this song makes you feel truly lost.

Deserted

Beginning as a Drop D jam on Pink Floyd's Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Labyrinth emerged as an entirely new entity. Defined by its heavy use of the harmonic minor, the song is brooding, foreboding, and just damn scary. The song begins by placing you in the entrance to a labyrinth, and as you approach the middle, the song becomes heavier and more claustrophobic, intensified by the creepy lyrics that make you paranoid as hell. Once you reach the center of the labyrinth, the music drops out, with sparse, screaming notes that represent the people who dared to enter before you. The song then explodes into a heavy outro, that represents you running for your life, scared out of your skin. If you can make it through this song, then you ought to be proud of yourself.

Labyrinth

Inspired by the savage killings of Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard on the shores of Lake Berryessa in 1969, Zodiac will place you in 2 sets of shoes. The first is the infamous killer, as he plans his crime and stalks his prey. The second is the innocent couple that just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The song runs at a steady pace until the ending, when the song explodes into a flurry of sound as the murder takes place.

Zodiac

Sunset was inspired by the serene yet apocalyptic feel that The Doors' The End provided so effortlessly. Beginning life as a 12 minute song with several verses and a crashing ending, Sunset morphed into a gentle yet haunting outro to the album, with sparse notes, shivering vocals, and a steady rhythm, reminiscent of an end-of-the-world feel. This song places you at the top of a hill as the sun sets in the distance, closing out a day marked by darkness, as you smile in the face of sin. With this track, your experience is over, let's hope you enjoyed the ride...
