This was inspired by one of my favourite scenes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Frankenstein travels back to Geneva, realising the enormity of his mistake in creating his creature. On the way he spends the night in a small alpine town and, in an attempt to escape his depression, he climbs a hill to watch a spectacular nocturnal thunderstorm. As he watches, to his horror, a familiar apparition approaches.

Hey... This is a recycling page for your songs.  I am a musician who digs listening to music. Thanks for dropping by. Lammbone
I am heading off SoundCloud for the Summer months. See you when the leaves begin to turn, or maybe when the snow flies. Gonna miss ya’ all… Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship. Have a great couple of months wherever you are. Mark

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!

There was a great underground music scene during the ‘90s in Youngstown, OH. Being only 20 minutes or so from my hometown of New Castle, PA, I was fortunate enough to get to hear a lot of those great bands. I felt even luckier when I got to play a few shows there during it’s heyday too. 

Since the turn of the century, with many musicians from that era moving on to new aspects of life, I’ve had trouble keeping a band together. I still had way too much I needed to get out though. So I started recording on my own under the names "Significant Nothing" and "Unending Bane".

I also recorded an all instrumental project under the name "Plunder Swarm" which Vibrio Cholerae Records printed & released in 2023 and distributed by Depressive Illusions Records. https://depressiveillusions.com/items/cd-r/punk-hardcore-rac-oi-other/plunder-swarm-ones-hour
Then, in 2024, Vibrio Cholerae Records printed & released my second "Plunder Swarm" CD, once again distributed by Depressive Illusions Records.

In 2025, Vibrio Cholerae Records also printed & released my other band "Raiding Horde". Of course, this  CD was distributed by Depressive Illusions Records too.

All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...

Hey. I am a late bloomer musically. Initially I started on acoustic guitar, then within the last 4 years: Banjo, slide guitar, dobro, recorder, harmonica and singing.  Most of my songs are rough, unpolished, unpracticed, recordings made on an old laptop. Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship, Lammbone
