A heavy-thrash metal instrumental track.
The theme of Drive is motivational. The idea was to write the kind of music that would make you want to get up, go out there, and get things done

Metal Piece in Arabian Style

Deadly Obsession is a concept track. The theme of it is something that started out as a positive, good idea, but went really wrong somewhere along the way, became a dangerous obsession and ended very badly.
While it can take the theme of just about any obsession, one way to describe it would be:
A guy sees a girl that really caught his interest, in a very exceptional way. But, he has no guts to approach her. Over time his feelings build up more and more, all the while the girl has no idea about any of it. At some point the girl starts dating someone, the "protagonist" finds out, which is the point where he goes insane and it ends tragically.

The drums were programmed by Ryan Van Poederooyen (drummer of Imonolith)

Apocalyptic Visions

The idea behind this track was to combine alt rock with heavy metal (leaning more towards the heavy side). Lots of emphasis on the bass and chunky riffs.

Open Season

I was working on a machinima video (called Helicopter Pug Hunting) for my gaming channel, with Open Season being the theme track for it. As I was nearing the end I was about 20 seconds short of music. So I decided to experiment and see what I can do, one thing led to another and I wrote this heavier ending.

After the machinima came out I decided to take the time, finalize, re-record the riffs and release this version of the track as well.

Open Season (Alternative Ending)

This release is a remake of a demo I made back in 2014. The idea was to revisit the track, re-record everything from scratch, flesh the ideas out, but keep the spirit and the vibe of the original. And now, after much work of recording, mixing, experimenting, and way too many release candidates, I'm really happy to finally have it out.

The demo is most commonly known for being used in the intro of the review and discussion videos on my gaming channel "Random Madness", where it was heard over 4 million times in the various videos.
