Due to some life issues around the time of the release, I had never gotten around to doing a proper post for my band’s previous album The Kindred Dark. Here’s a write-up with links to our videos, streaming and download sources, and the first review we’ve gotten so far.
I took part in the second big Shedrat Industries multi-band cover. We recorded a new version of the Children of Bodom classic Downfall, in memory of the passing of Alexi Laiho.
I tackled drums, vocals, and keyboards. Bass and mixing comes courtesy of Domo from Silura. Guitarists include Thomas from Seven Cities Dead, Wojo from Reality Crutch/Sumptus Ignis, and Austin nailed the solo. Full credits in the video link.
Children of Bodom’s first two albums came onto my radar near the end of high school and were really important in pushing the boundaries of heavy music in my formative period. RIP, Alexi.

New designs and products are available on my band’s Threadless merch shop. We now offer facemasks and leggings with artwork from Curtain Calls and Onward.
The next lyric video from Curtain Calls has been released. Enjoy Rumours.
Josh recorded a classy playthrough video of his guitar parts (and a little bass) for Heartstrings Black. This is the version from Ambition Instrumentals.
Our new Sumptus Ignis song and lyric video are coming soon!
Josh produced a lyric video for our song Fire at Will, which comes from the first full-length Sumptus Ignis album Ambition. Read along on Genius.
Grizzly Butts featured Ambition on a rundown of albums from 2018.
Kevin from Metal-Temple.com gave a nice review of Ambition.
” The workmanship of the duo is relentless, the different themes and styles of delivery is brave, meshing them together to make an album work as a whole is a talent, fortunately they are gifted enough to make it work. “
