Okay, let's be real and serious for a second .....

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F**K HAPPENED TO THE METAL / HARDCORE SCENE? 🗣 MAKING ME MORE AND MORE LIVID EVERYDAY!

I don't even think it has to do with the music even though most of it's programmed for response now, but is it the music? 🤔

Beside the point - is it this next generation? Or is it the fans? People in general in the crowd living currently instead, allowing this bu****it to go on, and also willingly participating in it? These days, I see a lot of mother fu***rs that are getting into people's personal lives then becoming violent abusive meathead drama queens the second they see something they don't like. Like it even fu***ng matters 😂 This is metal! 🤘 The mother f**ker's a fan / musician, and an imperfect human being that experiences his / her own independent emotions. Like fu**in' really? 🙄 They're not even at a base level, in a fu***ng profession, that requires flawless integrity. That'd be a political position / pastor / physician / doctor / lawyer / judge. Also beside the point ..... like it was even any of your business to begin with? They'll be open enough to let you in on that part of their life, and then you'll just straight up betray their trust in seconds right after they share all of that out of vulnerability? 👀

This is not at fu***ng all how it used to be 🧐

Side bar : Moshing is one thing, but getting into fights before, during, and after shows - come on? Seriously? Trolling, mocking, bullying, and borderline harassing people online / in person, once you get home from a show or get done listening to a track? The f**k? If you're going to be a violent dick, run your mouth, talk about people, mock people you don't even know, take things out of context, or even fu***ng exploit people by putting them on blast .....

YOU'RE SICK IN THE F**KIN' HEAD! 😑

KINDLY, GET THE F**K OUT OF OUR GENRE! YOU'RE ADDICTED TO ANGER, DEPRESSION, AND BIGOTRY / NOT METAL! 🗣

And this has nothing to do with fu**in' politics, this has to do with causing harm to other people psychologically / physically with outrageous behavior in the name of the genre. I'm tired of being silent when I watch this genre I've been proud to call my preferred taste in music, slowly turn to s**t like everything else in this ficked up world! You have a misconception about what this music is all about if you're going to walk in here with disrespect for anyone - F**KIN' PERIOD! 🗣 And DO NOT fu***ng cry victim when that s**t's thrown back in your face at some point. I'm not a gatekeeper at all, but what in the actual f**k am I witnessing? There's controlled chaos, just like the music itself - and then there's just flat out chaos and anarchy. When at the end of the day, we all return home as independent free thinking neighbours that stay out of jail / prison, right? Fu**in' jesus! 😑 What the f**k am I watching? 🧐 I know for a fact that I'm not alone in thinking this. There's plenty of good people in this genre who do have a good head on their shoulders, and this clearly has nothing to do with them. The amount of worms, trolls, bullies, and negative behaviors I see outweigh 'em all in general though, and it's extremely f**ked up.

METAL'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT :

UNITY / NOT DIVISION.

AUTHENTICITY / GENUINENESS / NOT BEING A POSER PROVING HIMSELF TO ANYONE.

TRUTH TO POWER / NOT BEING A DICK TO EVERYDAY PEOPLE, FANS, AND MUSICIANS WHO ARE ALSO PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME.

BEING EDGY / NOT BEING FILLED WITH SLANDER, DISMISSAL, AND BIGOTRY.

GETTING THROUGH LIFE'S BU****IT / NOT BRINGING PEOPLE DOWN TO YOUR PERSONAL HELL OF PROBLEMS, DRAMA, AND BU****IT.

PARTYING / HAVING FUN / NOT BEING UPTIGHT AND TAKING YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY 24/7.

GOOFING OFF / NOT WALKING AROUND WITH A STICK UP YOUR ASS OR WALKING ON EGGSHELLS AROUND PEOPLE TO IMPRESS.

ACCEPTING EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUNDS, BELIEFS, AND PAST ACTIONS / NOT BELITTLING PEOPLE, PUTTING PEOPLE ON BLAST, GOSSIPING, MOCKING, RUINING CAREERS, AND GETTING IN AN ARTIST'S UNDERWEAR DRAWER 😑

LOOKING LIKE A BAD ASS OR NOT GIVING A S**T AND COMING AS YOU ARE / NOT BASHING PEOPLE OVER DIFFERENCES AND APPEARANCE.

CATHARTIC RELEASE / NOT STIRRING THE POT OR GETTING INTO FIGHTS.

COURAGE, PROTECTION, AND LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER / NOT DESTROYING PEOPLE'S REPUTATIONS, CANCELING THEM, AND F**KING WITH PEOPLE WHILE BEING PETTY.

The more I observe from a distance, the more I don't want anything to do with it anymore. What it's become on a mass scale is borderline corrupt just like the government most of us hate so much. It's fu***ng embarrassing. There's just way to much stupid petty bu****it going on while no one respects anyone's privacy. It just gives me yet another reason to stay in the shadows. Never trying to release more of my music to a wider audience. I've been putting out underground experimental music since 2011, and not all of my music is metal influenced for multiple reasons. I'm not popular, but I'm also by no means NOT fu**in' NEW at all! 🗣 15 years next April since I started releasing music as a self production underground soundscape, and for fu**in' what? Just for an angry mob of adult nerd mother fu***rs to get ahold of the music I wrote with my heart, blood, and personal time to get scrutinized? Been saying it forever, and I will never stop fu***ng saying it.

F**K THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! 🖕😈

I'll never play to a crowd of violent dicks. If I ever start to in the future, I'll shut the entire show down and refund everyone their money immediately. It's not about the money, fame, or even the fans to me. It's about the principles, ideas, authenticity, and deep meaning behind the music. I'll only play to people who want to have a blast as friends, appreciate the good times shared, and get stuff out in a cathartic way. And I'll only play gut wrenching heavy music to responsible adults who are protectors 🤘 good people, accepting genuine souls, and respectful.

I can only control myself, and that's why I've kept my music so limited to only a platform or two all these years. There's only one EP on all platforms, and I'm questioning whether or not to release my next album on all platforms or keep it limited just to YouTube like normal. I decided to be underground for years while denying a f**k load of opportunities. AGAIN, F**K THE INDUSTRY! 🖕 I saw this fu**in' stupid ass modern bu****it coming, and I want no part in it.

Besides releasing limited access underground experimental music online, consider me retired.

The truth is, I'm in no rush.

A fresh brand new album is coming to you next spring. I may release a single or two between now and then but, for now, prepare for March.

I normally don't announce my releases beforehand, so feel lucky. This time, I won't just drop it out of thin air like the other 30 + albums over the years.

Unlike the rest of my limited access multi genre underground experimental music. This album will be available on all platforms.

This album might actually be my rosetta stone. But as usual ..... I'm breaking all of the rules. So from the get go, f**k your expectations 🖕

Some people in my audience want to confine me to one box, but I've always played multiple genres. So I'll be expressing more, and this isn't for views, likes, comments, or even just for fun anymore.

This is for my love of art and music. I'm in competition with myself, and I want to bring my best work forward ..... this time. This is both for the visual aesthetic and sonic soundscape.

How could I stay true to myself as an experimental artist ..... if I didn't do whatever the f**k I wanted? This album will be called Pantheon (Part 1). Pantheon (Part 2) will be released in the distant future.
