Been quiet lately because I haven’t had much of a drive to write synth music since my move back to Missouri at the end of 2025. I’m still sitting on unreleased music, including new Lord Gloom and some Carpenter-inspired music. I’ve also formed a band, which has been my creative focus. Still alive!

Those who embrace and defend crusader imagery deserve a greater degree of scrutiny in our scene, which is already plagued by enough far-right dogwhistles and imagery. If he quacks like a duck, he’s likely a duck. www.northampton.ac.uk/research-blo...

Grimdor is out here once again doing the most Grimdor thing—plagiarizing a Lord of the Rings wiki. I wonder if the music reflects the effort that went into the description.

But how will I show off my corpse paint and spiky gauntlets on the album that I recorded at Dol Guldur Studios (next to my race car bed)?

Super excited to share my new Lucerne Hammer album today, Vermilion Pyre! I owe a great deal of thanks to a lot of folks I've met here for their championing of this project. I'm really proud of how these songs came out and I sincerely hope you enjoy them.

My dungeon synth to fantasy synth pipeline is thinking the music can be cool but the scene is full of NSBM apologists, whom I’d like not to be associated with it

Also look at his following number. Simply cannot be a coincidence

Or another date idea: skip the black metal demos and instead watch lord of the rings

I never had my music up on other streaming services like Apple and Tidal, but one of the main reasons why I pulled my music from Spotify was artist exploitation, aside from the company’s poor ethics when it comes to investing in the defense industry

Saga tapes are out via Realm and Ritual! Really stoked on how these turned out. Looks like there are still some left!

Similarly, you can’t listen to NSBM and claim you have integrity.

Currently checking out your tape here. So good!
