Discography

 What I Consider My "Discography" To Be

If you haven't noticed, I release a lot of music. For the time being, I'm extremely prolific. I am absolutely sure that this will change sometime in the future, probably closer than further away. I have a lot of ideas for this project that I've been working through, and new ideas happen while I'm working through them. As I state everywhere, this isn't a ministry. I try my best to be as accurate as possible when I sing about the Bible, God, Christ, etc. I'm sure that I will get it wrong sometimes. Please feel free to correct me, I invite this sort of thing. Anyway, here is what I consider to be my discography. There are always going to be promos/releases that aren't included here, that doesn't make them unofficial unless I say so. 

I will only be adding releases here after they are officially released and fully available. 

I'll do my best to keep this up to date. 


Melancholia: Isolation In Four Movements (Full Length Album)

February, 2025

01. Movement I: Wherein Visions of Hell Invade Sleep - 7:55
02. Movement II: Wherein Prayer Seems Hopeless - 11:18
03. Movement III: Wherein Communication is Perilous - 7:58
04. Movement IV: Wherein Weeping is the Only Remaining Sound - 4:30

The second purely dark ambient album from the project. This one is hard to explain because it's so personal. I've tried a few times to start writing at length about it and something holds me back from doing so. I do plan to talk about the tracks and the overall concept a lot more, because it is a concept album, but I'm just not ready to yet. 

Released digitally, and possibly a physical edition in the future. The only way I would put this out as a physical edition is either on cassette or vinyl, likely lathe cut. Very few people seem to want CD-Rs, even pro duplicated and very nice ones. I don't completely understand this, but I do accept it. 

For now, Digital Only.


A Triptych of Psalms (Split EP)

February, 2025

02. Psalm 77: The Depths Were Also Troubled - 9:14

The other two artists on this split EP are Alaretin and Oak of Weeping. Please check them out on the Links page when I get around to getting that up. We came together a few months before this by seeking out other new Christian Black Metal artists. Oak of Weeping wanted to start a group, and I believe I had spoken to Alaretin one time prior to actually getting the group together. We became very fast friends and my life was, in very short order, greatly improved by their inclusion in it. It is rare that any of us go a day without talking to each other since. I think originally we were kicking around the idea of doing a split and Oak of Weeping was working on the track for Psalm 88. I latched onto this and wanted to do Psalm 77, and suggested that Alaretin do Psalm 66. This ended up being better than I think any of us imagined it would be, but the concept for it was by no means my idea. It's three very different styles of black metal, playing Psalms that really fit in with what our individual visions are for our projects, and coming together with a release to glorify God. It is certainly an elevation in terms of what I thought I could do with music, which I also really can't take credit for. 

My vocal performance on this is insane.

Whom He May Devour (Full Length Album)

January, 2025

Disk 1:

01. Somnolence - 4:48
02. Manipulated & Oppressed - 6:53
03. Mind Battles - 3:34
04. Unworthy 7:07

Disk 2:

01. The Wrath of God (Romans 1:18) (Part 1) - 5:42
02. The Wrath of God (Romans 1:18) (Part 2) - 11:33
03. The Wrath of God (Romans 1:18) (Part 3) - 6:50
04. The Wrath of God (Romans 1:18) (Part 4) - 6:27

Presented as a double album, albeit one of them very short. Originally, there was another track on here called "Black Void" that was north of 8 minutes long on Disk 1, but the recording methods I used for this left it just a little too raw for me, so I took it off. I do like my vocals on this one quite a bit, especially on Mind Battles. 

I will be perfectly up front and honest about this because I've had time to think about it, not that I wasn't before...this release is still kind of a mystery to me. I had the idea that I would post an album as I worked on and completed it track by track. I accomplished that, I felt led to do it, and I accomplished that part of it. What I didn't accomplish was what I thought it would be. I don't dislike it, but it's my least favorite of the long-form (EP/LP) releases I've done so far. Thus, I am very likely to revisit a lot of this in the future. 

Many would ask why I chose to release it with this being the case. Upon further careful reflection (and prayer) it's because it's a a companion piece to the Self-Titled album. The Self-Titled album being a concept album about personal sin, this really represents what you could call the more supernatural aspects of that album. My view of Christ, of Christianity, is from a rather supernatural point of view to begin with. I didn't think about it in this way until another new friend pointed out that it's rather normal to have a supernatural worldview of our religion. This is accurate, and while I always felt separate from church growing up as someone who saw it this way...I think I may have felt ashamed of having that view of it. 

I'm not ashamed of it anymore, I think the supernatural view of Christianity needs to be embraced. It's the only thing that really makes sense to me and since I stopped fighting it my walk with God has been greatly enriched, as long as I keep my focus and how I interpret happenings strictly Biblical.

Anyway, this album is more about the supernatural forces, the unseen realm, the evil side of what pushes Christians to engage with our Adamic sin nature. It is also one of only two releases that I've released lyrics for. It is primarily instrumental with only two tracks being in the rawer black metal style, but that kind of adds a bit of mystery to it that I enjoy. I won't say more about it here, but I likely will in the future. If you read all of this, let me know and I'll send you a code for a free copy (or take advantage of some that are on the bandcamp page itself.) 

No physical edition. Digital Only.

The second full length album, and the first Black Metal full length album for R.I.O.S. This record turned out exactly, and I mean exactly how I wanted it to. Usually after I finish something I listen to it and think of all the things I would change. I felt that way about this for a few days after, but I really wouldn't change a thing about it. 

The central concept is personal sin, specifically working against it in my own life to minimize it, and the struggle I've had with those things. I did this through Biblical concepts and reminding myself of what is and isn't in my power. The subjects explored in this half hour slab of noise are so personal that even discussing them makes me uncomfortable to a degree, but I've chosen to present it, and I stand by it. 

(01.) It's about eliminating my own personal, long-term sins (Death of the Old Man) - a lifelong process that I believe every Christian struggles with throughout their entire life, while doing their best to repent and move on from those things. Some things die hard. The old man is hard to let go of.
(02.) It's about the Adamic nature of man that we are born with, our tendency to love and be addicted to sinning. Instrumental, because words aren't needed to express this idea. it is a constant backdrop to our lives. It's present every second, of every minute, of every hour, or every day, of every year, of every decade...
(03.) You can't. Lay it at the Lord's feet. I don't want to say more about this. 
(04.) About my own envy and jealousy that I deal with, one of my biggest problems that I seek to minimize and eliminate.
(05.) Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt...
(06.)  A lot of Christians say a lot of good things, but will never admit to being prideful or comparing themselves to others and thinking they're better, or a step ahead, or a step above, or vertically misaligned philosophically. And they might not even see it in themselves, but they definitely see it in others. Hmm...
(07.) This is just a break. The concepts on this album are things I deal with every day, plus I thought a quieter track would help balance the album. Not a whole lot to this one...
(08.) Satan, used in this context both as a word for adversary and as the one large adversary in nigh-endless list of adversaries from hell that work against us through things we may otherwise trust. Our physical, worldly attachments, our friends, our family members, those who may unwittingly may be used to perform the will of someone who isn't God. This happens. You might not like it or want to admit it, those people might not, but it does. And you have been used, too. 
(09.) I said it in an interview (With Lithoscry) and I'll say it again here, there is a wrathful side to myself that I can't stand. Even at times when I've been far away from Christ, or that my walk hasn't been going so well, I have still hated this side of myself. It is one of the three biggest things I've tried to work on in my walk, and I struggle with anger and wrath more than any other single thing. In times I've hurt others, whether directly or indirectly, never intentionally, but not always in my right mind, it has been a result of this. Holding onto things that others have done, punishing others for it. This topic is complicated. 
(10.) This is the exit of the album. You're closing the door on my personal experience that I've let you observe, turn over, and examine. You're carefully putting my heart back into my chest cavity, replacing ribs, sewing up the gash. You're leaving. You're being turned away. You, a complete and total stranger, are being allowed to step away from the ways in which I've chosen to show you that I fail, trip, languish, moan, and experience existential torment. Now it's time to put this album down. 


Fall Short (EP)

December, 2024

01. Peter Denies Jesus (Luke 22:54-62) - 2:33
02. Blind - 2:07
03. Fall Short - 2:23
04. The Death Of Judas Iscariot (Matthew 27:5 and Acts 1:18) - 2:12

The rawest release I've done. Rougher than even the last demo (Spiritual Warfare) - I recorded this at the same time. This is when I was playing around with whether or not I wanted to push forward with concept work for all of my releases. I didn't really come to a conclusion on this, but given that pretty much everything since has had a connecting theme or context, I'd say the decision was made for me. 

It's about not being any better than those that deny Christ. Think about how easy it is to inadvertently do this, or to not have him forefront in your thoughts, even if your goal is to turn your life into a prayer. How loyal are we, really?
