Aphotic Transmissions (Release 2012)
The most depraved and forsaken works I have ever promulgated and revealed, but by far some of the most earth shattering, emotional material I have ever produced.
Aphotic Transmissions is a "black light" album: dark and very abstract. Lyrically speaking, the motif is set on some of the worst of human experiences: loss, suffering, disenchantment, and a lack of direction. Some have commented that this album displays my more "insane" thoughts and structured approaches to songwriting. While I agree in some way, it is by no means as symbolic or "dark" as Behind the Shades. However, there is no lack of beauty in these "insane" words, nor is the insanely conjured, yet structured, music any less artistic, rather it is motivated by the beauty of the dark experience ... the figurative "Black Sun" or journey into the underworld. It was an album made to heal wounds, find reprieve, forget, and absolve from the static fringe boundary that borders on insanity and self‐reflection.
