A Mirror That Was Broken
The beauty of youth is that you don't have a past, so you have nothing to compare your future to, and therefore, you can look ahead with hope and curiosity about life. As you get older, you may be fortunate enough to have some memorable experiences that you'll cherish for the rest of your life, but unfortunately, such experiences don't last forever; only for a few chapters. As you enter into a new phase of life, it hurts to say "goodbye" to all you've ever known, and it's scary to look ahead and wonder if life will ever be as good as it once was. It's easy to get nostalgic, and spend more time thinking back on the past rather than truly living in the moment and being excited for the next step. I was in love once, long ago, and the heartbreak derailed my life. A few years later, all my friends moved away, and I found myself in a lonely place. It was a constant struggle, wondering if I should keep trying to revitalize the past, or let go and seek out a new beginning. It took a lot of time seeking God, praying, reflecting, and investing in myself by developing my skills, knowledge, and confidence. Then one day, I finally had the strength to let go, so I did. I felt so free. I'll always cherish the past I once had, but there's still a lot more life left to live, and I believe the best is yet to come. This song expresses the struggle of saying "goodbye" to the past, and learning to have a hopefully viewpoint for the future. Rather than feeling broken down and existing only as a shattered reflection of your former self, you can display the pieces confidently, knowing these experiences have taught you many valuable lessons, given you much wisdom, and now belong to your collection of stories that help to create a meaningful and adventurous life.more

SHORES (Feat. Alex Orta)
We spent months writing, arranging and recording this new song featuring two female metal vocalists and a brand-new lineup. Our writing focuses on the changes, alienation, and loss of identity in our world, burning, and constantly guided by ancient and deadly habits. Blending pitch-shifted breakdowns and cinematic orchestrations, “Shores” comes with a richer and more progressive sound.more

This is a scratch track for an upcoming song about my love for the Taco Bell Beefy Fritos Burritos. From the perspective of myself and then the perspective of the burrito. This is the first time I do vocals in a minute lol. On the final version of this Jason Kaufman of FTW will play the part of the burrito in the song :)more
