1. The Summoning
“The Summoning” was the first song I recorded for Apocrypha in 2021. It introduces the protagonist’s struggle to reclaim his identity and find meaning in a world full of monsters (literal and metaphorical) tempting him to sacrifice his humanity for supernatural power. But to conquer his demons, he must first call them forth and confront them. Half hauntingly beautiful and half blistering rage, this song introduces both the album and the hallmarks of my music in general: stylistic schizophrenia. Enjoy the ride.
2. The Day Will Come
“The Day Will Come” was inspired by Kamelot’s gentler moments (see “Sacrimony” and “My Confession”) and a melody that I woke up with one day and couldn’t get out of my head. The song lulls the listener back into the gentler aspects of my style, but keeps an undercurrent of suspense lurking throughout. The protagonist expresses his reservations about advancing through the ranks of the cult that rules the city to a superior member of the cult, who assures him that they will welcome him with open arms… with a catch.
3. Blood Of The Ancients
