Inconnu
This is my gothic rock or post-punk musical project. All of the instruments and vocals were performed by myself except for the sampled drums. I will be posting demo versions of these songs as they are written for a future release.

Reviews:
"raw primitive black metal, with plenty of slow times, great drum work and catatonic riffs, few bands are this within the black, a return to the roots in the making."
- elcomentamierda
"very great sounding dark, raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep."

Untitled Song Lyrics/Concept Album
last edit: 9/22/15
I.
in the age of magic and steel
once the crows had all flown
after a long journey in the forest
one hunter took the road home
only to find his village plundered
ruined by wanton reckless slaughter
another tribe had murdered and maimed
all the sons and daughters
grieving, he carried away the bodies
a path of blood staining the snow
deep into the tombs of his ancestors
where his enemies dared not go
there in the darkness and sorrow
something unnatural coalesced
an ancient evil with an offer
and a test
then it spoke...
take this blade of shadow
slay them by my hand
send them back to hell
kill one thousand men
I will bring her back to you
II.
at first he only killed
the most vicious and vile
while searching for the men
who threw his kin into fire
the blade kept him going
searching for answers
whispering with the voice
of the necromancer
take no pity
on these men of vice
death is their mistress
the cost is their life
at last he found the home
of that most wretched tribe
their women wore jewelry
of those who had died
smite them where they stand
the wretched unholy race
take what was taken from you
leave not a trace
with blood lust and vengeance
he raised the blade high
it came down in a storm
until no one survived
standing on piles of viscera
surrounded by broken and dead
covered in blood and hate
the sword glowed black and red
III.
his quest now completed
he returned to the tomb
where her lifeless body lay
pale and blue
animated by dark magic
she slowly began to move
but she couldn't speak a word
only stare with empty eyes
fearful of the light
not dead but not alive
your love now walks among us
vainfully he tried to kill the demon
the shadows laughing at his flailing
but the ebon blade was bound
even death would not release him
your soul is undead
forged in your mind
thrall to your sire
weapon of mine
IV.
transformed by evil deeds
he slept in the tomb at night
his kin were dead and gone
his love, only hollowed bones
you can't murder what's dead
he told himself
to do what must be done
now nothing more than
old flesh and bone
finally at rest and safe from harm
he placed her body into the wall
and covered it with his own

Rivercity by Night
This was a website I made in 2010 to promote local music. I made the music accompanying the video as well.
