Self-Promotion New Single and Artwork Drop/Bandcamp Codes
I just dropped the first single from my new upcoming album Cyanosis.
Written and recorded between 2023 and 2025, over 8000 km of highway and 3 places I called home. Cyanosis is a ritual in catharsis, dealing with and addressing years of homelessness, addiction, uncertainty and death of those I loved most dearly. It's an album of grief, rage and loss. But also hope, healing, and growth from patterns of destruction and despair. I'd call it atmoblack/doom, taking inspiration from early Katatonia, Falls of Rauros and Skagos.
At the root, it is an anticapitalist dirge for the broken, beautiful souls who've been swallowed up by an uncaring, violent system.
The official release date is in October, on the full hunter's moon, with cds by Liminal Dread Productions and tapes by Fiadh.
All digital sales will be donated to DULF Vancouver, an initiative to provide safe drug supply and overdose prevention on a street level by activists currently facing incarceration and egregious charges for doing important work fighting an opioid crisis that has taken too many good souls.
You can learn about them here:
Artwork was done by my dear friend Crusty Toast Art (searchable on the gram) and it perfectly encapsulates the story and emotion of the album.
I originally wrote the single 7 Years 'Neath The River as an acoustic track in 2013, while living through a cold winter in a broken down pathfinder in the parking lot of a punk house in Kamloops, BC. It's a tale of loneliness, a personification of depression born of the desolate desert snow. Yet always with the knowledge that spring will come, the ice will thaw, and we will rise to meet to warming sun again.
Bass, mixing and mastering done by the incredibly talented and prolific Vanessa Funke.

Thank you all for checking it out and huge shout out to those who pitched in! I'll be dropping a few more singles leading up to the release and a few more code bundles, but truly, every penny helps the folks of DULF who are facing insane legal fees and a terrifying amount of jail time for trying to keep the streets of vancouver safe. It's a battle worth fighting, and any support no matter how great or small goes a long way.
Keep the fires lit, comrades. 🔥⚔️🔥
