Staring at the note that reminds me
Sad occasion that still haunts me
Mark the day that you disappeared
Fighting back all of those feelings
Fear of ghosts that would torment me
Spinning slowly as they fade away
Tears in my eyes, fall like rain...
Trapped by the ties that bind us.
Falling victim to confusion
The end getting nearer all the time.
Shadows dance create temptation
Then fade away leave frustration
Your silent face, turns hearts to stone
Frozen in time, all alone….
Every second counts down quickly
Watch them slip away like memories
Was this all how it was before?
In your eyes, I’m lost completely
Sweet regret, it cuts so deeply
Can’t stand on ceremony now.
No love lost, no love at all…
Still staring at the note that reminds me
No turning back, can’t hear all the warnings
Forced to watch until it all fades away...

Primary Voices

While our black hearts burn...
And the stars fell from her eyes.
Old bones drag like lead...
While my thoughts fuel the fire.
I close my eyes, but still can’t see her...
Fair face I can’t recognize.
Found our passions long since dead
So we threw them on the pyre.
All things must fade
This much is clear
There are no second chances
We lost it all
Dead stars fade
And disappear.
No star burns forever….
now
Faded memories
What once seemed so clear...
Now so many thoughts conflicting
push them all away
Need to focus my intentions...
Push through this veil of tears
Drown out those primary voices
Find the silence that remains
I too must fade
This is my fear
Spent all my second chances...
All hope is gone
I dissipate
And fade away
There’s nothing left of me...
At all.

They Eat Tears

Hear them crying in the distance
The sound never fades away.
Their pleading, so insistent.
It seems their prayers are in vain.
Bright white halo flashing...
Blood burning in my brain...
Is this the final warning?
A ragged pace we can’t sustain.
Shadows falls with a terrible sound, and you’re -
Falling…
Falling….
You’re left dizzy in its wake and they’re -
Calling...
Calling…
In desperation on hands and knees
Crawling…
Crawling...
Witness their atrocities
They eat tears...
as they fall like rain.
See the fires in the distance
The smoke takes our breath away
The sacrifice of all held holy
And the death of all remaining faith
And we were destined for this fate
Shadows fall and a terrible sound and they’re
Falling…
Falling….
We spin dizzy in its wake and they’re
Calling...
Calling…
Can’t turn back there’s no time left and you’re
Falling…
Falling….
Now you face the consequence
They eat tears...
as they fall like rain

Artoffact Records 2021 Sampler
by Artoffact Records
supported by 7 fans who also own “Resurgence”
The Alt/ Underground 1980s & 90s just called me from a phone booth in the Mojave Desert, and they informed me to profusely thank these adventurous musicians for keeping it all alive & vital. It's very rare to hear music that invokes deep nostalgia upon the very first listen, but here it is. Standout tracks for me: Obsession Body Aktiv Home Drown Below (wow, just wow) Dangerous Mother Tongue / Glitter Belly \m/(><)\m/ Wave a Dead Chicken

Another Kind of Midnight
by A Cloud of Ravens
supported by 6 fans who also own “Resurgence”
New album from Brookland band ACOR, which has left me immediately captured and ready to dive into this deep pool. This record is a perfect blend of the homage to the past and the modern construction of the future. Well deep power and resonant vocals carry these stalking shadow woven songs. It's concrete wilderness and Peter Murphy poetry. Ringing guitars and driving basslines carry a heroic journey through a desolate land.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.

PERFUMES AND FRIPPERIES
by The Wake
The Columbus, OH goth-rock titans return with their first new album in 20 years, doomed romanticism intact.
