Narratives is out now!

20 October 2021

The new album NARRATIVES is finally out! Work on this was done over a long period of time (also due to procrastination as well as a global pandemic, you know how annoying those can be). 

‘Narratives’ combines material that was written around the time that HEAVY CROWNS was written and recorded, with some material dating back even way further back than that. A majority of the songs were written and recorded between late 2018 and late 2020.

This album is different from its predecessor as its predecessor is different from the album before it. Diversity and trying different directions has always been a goal of mine and each album aims for that, as will be the case with the next album (spoiler).

While ‘In Human Sight’ was a progressive/classic rock album (kind of) and ‘Heavy Crowns’ is a bit more metal, ‘Narratives’ was something I intended to be much more acoustic-based, though not at all folky – justa different aesthetic.

I think it came out very well and I hope you will like what you hear. The fact that there are quite a lot of people who enjoy my music is mind-boggling but I’m glad that you do.

And to all the people who have asked about buying physical media – good news! Limited print CDs (digipak) will be available, not just for ‘Narratives’, but for ‘Heavy Crowns’ as well. More on how you can get those soon.

Thanks for your support, it’s very appreciated.

HEAVY CROWNS is out

28 January 2019

The new album HEAVY CROWNS is available now! Get it here on Bandcamp (it’s also available on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify et al)

Work on this album started about 3 years ago. I went in a different direction from 2013’s debut album IN HUMAN SIGHT and wanted to focus on my love for heavy music and inspirational bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Opeth, Mastodon, Devin Townsend and many more. While not a concept album like the previous album, HEAVY CROWNS does have a common theme and subjects, although it is equivocal on purpose.

The album was recorded in 3 different studios in London, including Blue Room Studios where we recorded most of the vocals (as well as piano) and Floodgate Audio, where the drums were recorded. The guitars, bass, pads/effects and also the vocals for 3 songs were recorded in my home studio.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to and was involved in the making of this album:
Chris Allan
Itay Kashti
Meyrick de la Fuente
Michael H. Brauer
Maor Appelbaum
Nikolina Petolas
