Been caught up more with age. Surrounded by people 20 years younger than me and I get impatient. Then I realize they look at me like a dad or something. Shit fucks with me. I dont wanna be that person but I know I am and need to be. Part of why everything is fucked up all around us......to many elders want to be the...

First off is something my 15yr old self would have obsessed over back in like 1996. I loved OG industrial music but legit dont like NIN though so dont get it twisted. That Skinny Puppy shit was fine but Ministry and KMFDM are always good by me.


May seem like a hard turn but synthwave is directly connected to OG industrial metal. Just look at...

@SMELKER81 You have a good game strategy. I approve 😎 You don't apologize for the text. In this game, you can't explain something in two words. I created a warlock named Crowley. He is quite selfish and loves to fight and prove his superiority in everything. But his adventures are still on hold. I can't find time to play 😑

@headshot Well you are certainly playing up to the person you named your character after hahaha. Mine is Sir Cumbunny but I did consider Bunny Lavay though so it seems we have similar influences.

I dont often talk about the things in my head when I make a song but this one has some intention and has stuck with me for the last 4 years.

I havent touched my guitars in a year, havent recorded anything in at least 2. When I hit 40 and realized it was too late for anything I went into sleep mode.

@stephencreative although I do appreciate the sentiment I am past the expiration date. I turned 42 this year and spent 8 years of what would have been my "prime" working as a sound guy for local cover bands who made more in one night than I ever have doing my own music. Self doubt was 20yrs ago, this is just acceptance. I am fully aware of the brain rot that is tick tock but my inner libertarian just sits back and understands my time was long ago and this isnt for me. I will be returning to music in the coming months but it wont be at the rate I was going at with those older videos. If you have the energy left then challenge your dreams. As for myself, I am a relic from a time past. I havent touched my guitar in over a year now so I will have my work cut out for me

The 2nd best thing to do is as you plan on doing. Making music for yourself.
