3 years since the release of Residual Hauntings, a new sequel to 2005's Ghosthouse album built from unused demos, fragments, and ideas from that time period. This track is a touched-up 2004 re-recording of a song dating back to Fornever's early days, written in 1997. youtu.be/Q2FxeQjaUaI?...

I'm so used to playing Silent Hill that in #ResidentEvilRequiem, every time I come to a dirty maggot-filled toiled or blood-filled bathtub, I'm like, "Well, aren't you going to stick your hand in there? I'm waiting."

And my first song release of the year is… A song built completely from pitch-shifted and processed ambient room noise and HVAC noise from my project Premature Burial on an experimental compilation that’s a tongue-in-cheek take on Now That’s What I Call Music.

Just updated my Zoom to version 6.6.6. Now, my video screen has blood running down it, and the muffled agonized screams in the audio channel are drowning out the participants. Tech help anyone?

I have a weirdly large catalog of original holiday songs for an indie rocker with goth leanings thanks to releasing free holiday singles for about a decade starting in 1999 & a handful of comps and EPs on Silber Records. But this might be a personal fav: youtu.be/W58EDxG-m90

Probably not the compilation update you (or I) were hoping for, but got the word that all 3 pending compilations with my tracks (2 Fornever and 1 Premature Burial) have been pushed back to next year due to label delays.
