    The album is based on a short horror/gore story I have written that takes place in a victorian-esq steampunk world full of crime and sculduggery. This story is a tale of tragedy, horror, brutality and machinery.

    The album is called “Vol 2: The rewiring of humanity”

    Track titles of the songs and book chapters are as follows:

    1. The nightmare begins
    2. Taken from your life
    3. Food will stretch the flesh (Consume no more)
    4. Human meat market
    5. The rewiring of humanity (body modification)
    6. The end of the beginning
    7. Sadness into madness (instrumental)
    8. Hunted and tortured
    9. Death welcomes
    10. Left to rot

    The album artwork is as follows:

    You can read more about the track here:

    The single The end of the beginning is chapter 5 from the short story which also comes out with the album in a few weeks time and will be available on Band Camp & Amazon, here is an excerpt from that chapter:

    WARNING – This excerpt from chapter 5 contains imagery that some people might find disturbing.

    I had managed to hide myself between some large barrels of whiskey for a few days after the main event. Well, I thought the barrels contained Whiskey anyway. I opened the tap on the front, hoping for a small drink, and all that came out was thick, sloppy, congealed blood.

    I can hear people shouting – one sounds like the specimen, and the other is most certainly the doctor. I walk with haste towards the shouting and hide in the shadows, ready to observe.
    “GET BACK!” shouted the doctor

    “I AM GOING TO RIP YOU LIMB FROM LIMB FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME” shouted the specimen.
    “GET BACK NOW I TELL YOU!!!” exclaimed the doctor. “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO???? KILL ME?!?!?! YOU CANNOT KILL ME!!!!” shouted the specimen. “Your body has taken to these augmentations much faster than possible” said the doctor, his voice filled with confusion and admiration.

    “Hahaha, now you’re fucked then” laughed the specimen.
    The doctor ran. The specimen chased after him, grabbed him and dragged him back to the lab by his hair.

    The specimen starts to glue the doctor to the gurney. “Let’s see, what shall I turn you into?” considered the specimen…………

  • A big THANK YOU!!

    A big THANK YOU!!

    Releasing music in 2022 is hard and usually being found on music streaming sites is very difficult.

    I can’t confirm proper numbers yet as they can take up to two months to come in, but the release day of our single was very good for a band like us considering we have never played any live gigs ….. yet 😉

    Thank you to everyone that has purchased band merchandise from this website, we really appreciate it!!!

    There will be much more to come, and of course a full album release in the next few weeks, a brief update on that below.

    Most tracks now have full vocals and Neil is mixing and mastering them like a little demon, a massive thank you to him!!!
    Album artwork is confirmed
    The short story is 100% complete, with artwork, chapters relating to the music titles and will be available on Bandcamp and Amazon on the day the album is released.

    We are hoping to release it in the next few weeks.

    If you havent heard the single and would like too, you can find it below without leaving the site 🙂

  • Knee deep in the album ….

    Knee deep in the album ….

    It’s been a very very busy few weeks which is why I haven’t updated the blog. There is such a long list of ‘actions completed’ (for want of a better phrase) but I think ill start off on what we as a band have completed since our last blog update on the 25th August 2022.

    1. The fast fiction short story horror/gore book I detailed in August that will be coming out along side the album is completed. The update on this is I have had it back from the proofreaders/editors and the story remains unchanged (very very happy about that) and all the helpful tips I was given I have put into practise (after mulling over) and I can hand on heart say I am exstatic with the result.

    2. Finally changed the book layout to A5.

    3. I am working on presenting a small page or so from the short story fast fiction book for you to read, but as of yet I can’t decide on which page, but an excerpt is on its way soon.

    On the 14th July 2022 I stated tracks 2 and 6 were complete. Well, they are, but we decided to leave them for a while and then go back to them at a later date and see what (if anything) needed to be changed, altered etc.

    Track 2 – Recently we changed the baseline (massively) to better suit the feeling of the track, lock in with the drums a bit better and compliment the guitars more. There are more (way in the back) atmospherics added to the track which adds a real feeling of depth and better sits with the horror/goth/death vibe. Now this track is complete.

    Track 6 – A woodwind section has been added to the already in place orchestra, adds much more depth and suspense. I re-recorded the bass section as it was recorded in B and not A – an oversight on my part, but even if I do say so myself it does sound better in A – almost as if I wrote it that way in the first place 🙄🤪🤣. Now this track is complete.
    Track 5 – Bass is complete, working on orchestra, drums and guitars currently
    Intro – Completed
    Outro – Completed
    Track 7 – Bass is being recorded

    And that’s all for now, another update will be coming in the fortnight or so with further updates.

    Don’t forget until the album is released, you can find our current EP on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, anywhere you listen to music or on the like below. Thank you for your support.

  • New bass!!

    New bass!!

    After recording and releasing our EP (Vol 1: Light through the dark), I needed to get another 5 string bass as I have plenty of 4 strings basses but need active redundancy incase my only 5 string broke.

    After searching for a few days to find another Epiphone Toby 5 string bass (like my current one) and realising they are now discontinued I had to look for another make, something I don’t enjoy doing when it comes to musical instruments.

    After lots of contemplation and annoying voices in my head I decided to go with the Musicman sub 5, an excellent bass with exceptional clarity and tone. I am very much going to enjoy recording our album using that!
