Zen is the scar tissue of understanding:
We will see what kind of scar tissue this 'new' leader brings based on the statements like the ones above, I hope for good, but continue to lick my wounds as I attempt to understand the past.
At first I started writing music just to stay in touch with my inner punk of the mid to late 80s, but I began to realize that I much of my interests were centered on humanity, or the lack thereof that I can see very clearly today and throughout history. Things which I base my music on are spiritual, metaphysics, religions and cults of all sorts including occult, mind control, political issues, indigenous cultures in all times and all places. Though my music can be silly and pointless sometimes, it is mostly based on bleak subjects and often times I am told, sounds depressing. But I am doing this for me not you... well you too if you like or agree at least somewhat with what you hear. Since nothing is ever really owned due to our physically perishable nature, I promote sharing of ideas, if that comes in the form of someone "ripping off my work" or using it's likeness in some way... go for it. I have nothing to say here that I would not gladly give away for free. If you have information on any of the above subjects, especially sigils, creation/origin stories, prophecy or anything at all which is interesting and about the human condition not already promoted by modern hegemony, please feel free to contact me with such information. I have no religion and very few preconceived notions about things other than what I can observe as a "natural law" (e.g. we are born without names, therefore we are nameless) so all subjects are fair game.

The Human Story

Completed another one in drop C. Mixing was a bit funky since I am not used to the dynamics of songs like this one, but I am very pleased with the general observations conveyed by the lyrics.The icon ...

Your happy song

Well, this one took longer than expected but I think it's worth it. While I was actually playing with drop C tunings and heavy riffs, I got bored and came up with this mess. The lyrics took awhile to ...

It's been awhile since I just grooved on a 170BPM two note song... the lyrics flooded out of me in 5 minutes.I could have dragged it out to the popular length of 3 minutes and 30 seconds, but just let...

Got my soul back

I like letting the song steer itself, this one is a good example. Might not make that much sense but it gave me a good excuse to attempt to emulate one of my favorite punk Guitar heros (Greg Ginn) as ...

Our Demise

And for a total bonus today, I assume due to being home and it snowing and in general being overcast and East Coast-ish, I conceived and recorded and posted "Our Demise" in a few hours today. One of m...
