moonstoneskull This is exactly how I like my Darkwave - slow tempo, hypnotic synths, dark and dreamy atmosphere. The vocals - ok first of all, the singing style is on point, not to mention how suitable his voice itself is for this genre. Beautiful work. Favorite track: Rain on a Grave.

Bridget 05:13
in the dead of the night do you ever wonder, do you realize the power that consumes you when the sunlight dies you leave this world behind hand through your hair, flash of the eyes is all that's ever needed to hypnotize my mind I'm underneath your spell, consumed by your lies until my soul's decline and Bridget dear, if only you were here if only you could know the way you have endeared the children say your name three times before the mirror in hopes that you'll appear and legends live while memories die you'll breathe into the world the weight of your demise the torture you endured as the world passed by as we all denied we all denied.
2.
are you even up there, are you anywhere at all? why can't I feel you, can't I see you? and do you walk with me, every road that I've been down? say you're here, say you're near, say it dear I'm waiting, been waiting all this time for some purpose, or a reason some answer to my life can you hear me scream? into the black, into the night with all my might, just searching for some light there's something in the air not giving as it takes seeping through the sky like rain on a grave this could be our last chance to get out of this place still starving for some love, some semblance of embrace

Wax Mask 05:44
get it straight in your head, I've never been your friend you've never been my type, you've never been my kind my kind close your eyes, dream of a face that you can hide behind you're the queen of your own world, of your paradise yet in pictures that you post, you drift from group to group you're living your best life, though we know it's a lie we all know it's a lie yeah, it's a lie you say you're living large now you said you wrote the book write a book and you never look behind, you never take a look take a look all that you have stepped on awaits you, it's never gone away the fires of your choices will degrade you you wanted it this way so show us all the person that's hiding deep inside deep inside be yourself, it's what you are and you've never even tried you've never even tried you've never even tried
4.
my flesh is not what defines me maybe it is, I don't know I'm being told that inside me exists a regular soul how do I put this politely? I'm not the type to let go and so I'll go on surviving my hands still clutching this rope you claim to know what I've been through you claim to be on my side my pain it tells such a story one you can't hide behind the bells are calling out to me oh, can't you hear how they cry? something in them completes me I'll ring the bells 'till I die I haven't that much to live for but I don't want to give in there's something pushing my forward something burning within a twisted face and this hunched back some say a product of sin why don't you look in the mirror? see what true evil is
5.
run and hide the answers will come find you in good time just stay alive you are enough, don't give it up you will survive sanguine spirit deep inside me watch it flit across just there behind the eyes spinning webs made for confusion catching dreams and pretty thoughts as they pass by moonlit white voice like the wind, the softest skin eyes like the night cloudless sky you take me in, let me begin love of my life and when this earth comes to an end in the empty dark again you'll be my light a perfect poison, saintly sin and on this one thing I depend to set me right so goodnight

Grey Lady 04:45
why did you disappear from my life? did you think you were too dear to me? or were you ashamed to be seen with me? I never thought we'd say goodbye it's been years now since I've heard from you didn't think I'd miss it, but I do and suddenly my world's gone dark can't remember feelings from before nothing lives inside me anymore I never thought it'd be this hard to remove your memory from my heart you exist to take it all apart I think about you in my bed just before I close my eyes to sleep picture all the curves of your body there's something wicked in my head feel your ghost appear within the room I don't even care if this means my doom
7.
Titus Groan 05:01
cold stone in black catacombs calling me to its walls my home, a fortress alone silent as the night falls breathe in, a damage within the lingering ghosts who play it's your loss, and at such a cost so what do you have to say? she's free but only through me her skin flushes red with blood she's misplaced, entirely deranged and yet she is understood do you see a future for us? do you see a present? is there nothing left but dust? is there anything pleasant? oh priestess of stone, this woman of ice wrap me within your arms tonight please echo my pain to make me feel sane help me to feel alive again if you give me your heart I will give you my soul if only to feel you, to help me feel whole please help me feel whole I need to feel whole help me feel whole I need to feel...

Janus 03:16
I don't know where you live I don't know where you close your eyes to sleep oh but what I wouldn't give to feel you lying next to me I think we're one and the same I think a part of you believes I'll do whatever it takes to get your company I'll do whatever it takes a hard habit to break it's now become a part of me part of my own DNA part of every breath that I breathe please tell me you feel the same because the truth is I need you desperately I don't even know your name yet you stoke some flame inside of me inside me I wish you'd enter my world wish you'd see the picture that I see I wish I only could learn to be the better person I could be and so my world will just burn enclosing me inside this tomb when I'm alone I see your face and your eyes follow me around the room around the room
9.
It's No Use 05:29
as the sun gives into night and my secrets come to light I'm stuck inside myself me alone, and no one else and I can't remember when we still played the part of friends oh, how you used to make me laugh now it all comes rushing back did I ever waste my time? did I slowly rot my mind? in a coma more or less and you loved me more for this while we danced to our own tune memorizing every room you live rent free in my mind just taking pictures all the time it's no use and everything I am the boy and now the man was made by me and you a monster built by two and you'll always have my heart even when we're far apart I've nothing left but love as you twinkle up above paradise in all these years and never facing all our fears in denial we exist and 'till the end we'll believe this and it's no use it's no use..

about

This is my fourth collection of songs, written and recorded in my apartment. A lot of effort went into making this one, and I feel it finally captures the sound I had been chasing on the previous three records. I wanted to make the soundtrack to some far away underworld. Thick with fog, lanterns burning in the mist. Can you see this place? Let me show you.
