AGGRESSIVE EBM
"Bombastic sounds like choirs and the pressure of a galloping beat combined with samples of horses and only whispered voices make it my favorite on the album." New Empire Feb 2002

Oh won't you help me throw it all away. I doubt you. I doubt your allegiance. I will rip your world apart.

Force 4.4MB MP3

AGGRESSIVE EBM

Cutting back all insignificance. Cutting out every last grain of greed. What do you see behind? What do you want behind your time of greed? What do you want behind your sense of need? Cutting back all your greed, every last hope and dream.

Regression II 3.7MB MP3

MELODIC SOUNDSCAPE
"The Regression series of songs are particularly striking in their simple beauty; quiet, sinister, evocative – they strike deep within and leave the impression of falling, being lost, and alone." Oz Music Project Mar 2003

Altercated (Independent Release 2001)

Etchings moon mix 3.7MB MP3

DARKWAVE
Early work featuring piano, originally on the Etchings CD released in Japan only. At the time this work symbolized a shift from gothic metal inspiration, into the electronic and dark ambient movement leading to WOS.

So many lies etched in stone, I gave to you and you alone, were the receiver of this dark fever. What kind of expectation should we have this time? Oh well... there is nothing left to live for, any more time like this right now, and I will, take it all away, take it all away. Etched in stone, you are alone, for the rest of time here. What are we all becoming cock sucking whores etched.

Moiety (Independent Release 2000)

End in Shards 3.7MB MP3

GOTHIC TECHNO METAL
Early heavy piece recorded during an intense period of experimental guitar and distortion driven discontent.

So what do we do now, that you threw it all away? I have no expectations anymore, nothing left to see in these eyes. That we really should hurt, those few pleasureable times. Those lucky enough to live a life like ours, no matter what you expect. It will never be the same. We are finished, gone for the rest of time, there is nothing left but shards, and you may pick them up, and your hands they will cut. This is the end.
