Lyrics Barons with eyes of black gold Myopic, robotic bipeds They have Earth in a choke hold And they don't care if we're all dead Your world is their will Their greed is your suicide pill Conned in fidelity, their corruption you ignore…

The Wheels of Time cycle in motion Like Doves we dive through the airless ocean We do the best that we can But it's never enough Forever stuck in a rut!

80s synthpop nostalgia covered in digital celeste, influenced by the music at the end of Blue Velvet.

A song about free will and determinism.

A song about being a champion of the universe! Full of Queen inspired pomp rock.

An Opeth-influenced number intended to evoke the witch-like, forest primeval and the occult.

A song about being stuck between two places, spot the reference to Robinson Crusoe if you can in the lyrics! (hint: freedom must be paid...) This used to be my favourite track but I find it tedious to listen to now.

I composed this for a film I wrote, directed and acted in of the same name. It's about a dude who comes back to collect his stuff from a house he rented except the landlady is a chainsaw wielding witch and not happy he moved out so soon. I was…

Ugh, this one. Well, it's not about Danaerys Targarean, even though the lyrics would strongly suggest it. No, in fact it's one of two songs I've written where the anti-hero is a social pariah that gets bloody and brutal revenge on society. The…

Ah, this song was from a dream I had so I recorded it as is. The cat guitar was a happy accident/discovery, a combination of wah and slide. I kind of suck vocally so deliberately sang this in a low register.

This one was written during winter 2013, there was actually a snowstorm at the end of March in Durham, UK. The only way I could resolve myself to the weather was to "embrace the cold", to mentally think that I was physically cold inside, so that…

Another inspired by a dream song, the lyrics are actually from the dream which is why they probably don't make sense. I wanted a medieval prog sound for this one, it sounds a bit like Lord of the Rings at the start, there's some Reverend Bizarre…

This song is my anthemic sell out tune. End section is directly inspired by the music for Dune by Toto, specifically the music that plays over that awesome scene when Paul Atreides rides the sandworm. I love how the guitars kick in at the end…

This song was inspired by a dream. I don't really like it though as it's kind of boring and tedious to listen to. The Daft Punk chord progression was my attempt to bring back that kind of hard rock pop practiced by Boston or Rainbow. Some Mars…

This song is again from a dream, then I realised hey it sounds a bit like Starman by David Bowie! Oh well. I added some Goldfrappian synths in the second verse, wanted an anthemic yet gothic synthish rock tune that would also be redolent of Ok…

I thought this was my master work, my magnus opus, because I was composing these arpeggios on piano, then speeding them up to sound virtuoso. I find the verse/chorus/verse/chorus opening third really boring, honestly the Latin influenced riff…
