Basalt Crown – (1995) Serrated Silence – Shadowflash [S01]

Pretty Disease

Swept Under

Damned

[Verse 1]
A child’s cry drowned in the roar
A flag raised high but what’s it for
Broken skies and shattered ground
The echoes scream but make no sound

[Chorus]
No more blood to stain the soil
No more lives for greed to spoil
They sell us fear
We pay the price
Endless wars
The sacrifice

[Verse 2]
The heroes march but never return
The world spins on
It doesn’t learn
Smoke rises
Hides the stars above
Ashes bury what we once loved

[Prechorus]
We fight for peace
What a twisted lie
How many dreams must we let die

[Chorus]
No more blood to stain the soil
No more lives for greed to spoil
They sell us fear
We pay the price
Endless wars
The sacrifice

[Bridge]
Mothers cry
The rivers flood
All we gain is tears and mud
The leaders speak
Their voices cold
Promises bought and hearts are sold

Endless Wars

"They lit the fire. I became the flame."

Burn the Witch is a fierce hard rock anthem about the fury of being scapegoated. Gritty female vocals cut through crushing guitars and pounding drums, turning betrayal into raw, unrelenting power.

Burn the Witch

Digital Heretic marks the 45th chapter in the PulseMeld project — a culmination of rage, resistance, and raw industrial expression.

This 12-track assault peels back the digital skin of modern life and spits in the face of algorithmic obedience. It's the sound of wires screaming, of cracked mirrors reflecting what we've become — and what we refuse to be.

“I was born with a firewall halo.”
— Digital Heretic

Tracks like “You Are My Zombie”, “Cemetery Wifi”, and “Your Utopia Not Mine” pulse with sarcasm, venom, and deliberate chaos. Elsewhere, the devastating crawl of “Bury Me With Hate” and the warped euphoria of “Black Mirror Ball” linger like a virus in the bloodstream.

No genre cages, no apologies.
This is PulseMeld at its most unapologetic, unfiltered, and electrified.

🩸 For the heretics, the glitched-out souls, and the wired ones who never fit in — this is your cathedral of distortion.

Embrace the Reaper

Mirror of Madness is a vivid, psychedelic exploration of self-deception, societal hypocrisy, and the distorted nature of truth. Its meaning can be unpacked through its lyrical content, musical structure, and thematic imagery, which together create a layered commentary on human perception and identity.

Steh den Sturm (Erdling Cover)

Wrote this one about the moments your brain moves faster than your body. You’re still moving forward, just not gracefully.

Party Down Up All Around

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
