EXCLUSIVE FOR MY FRIENDS HERE AT SLAPS.COM !! This track appears nowhere else online. It's part of a progressive metal concept album I've been working on for the past 6 months and honestly, I just want someone to hear SOMETHING from it. I've finished songs 2, 3, and 5 out of 10 songs I've planned for the album. The story of which is that of a man who realises that the universe is governed by rules that can be manipulated by consciousness. This song, "Fracture or Frame" tells the part of the story where he's still struggling with the idea of what he think's he's found in his investigations of Quantum Information Holography.more

The idea behind this song is that it's a farewell to American democracy, but I didn't want it to sound like a protest song. So, I spent some time thinking about the most "American" music I could imagine and decided that it was the themes which appeared at the start of TV shows and movies like Deadwood. I wanted to tell the story from the perspective of a love affair that was ending to make it more personal for the listener - to bring that message closer to home.more

Track #1 from the new EP, Athame released on Friday, 9 October 2026 Nevermore was the first of the Dark Folk songs I wrote. This one contains more of the witchy stuff than any of the others.more
