Music Alert: The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse – Magisterium

Strap in for a long night with my electro-industrial band the Seven Whores of the Apocalypse as we guide you through the abandoned padded cells of Magisterium: a cage of bone-rattling beats wraps its claws around a rubbery analog bass and hushed vocals; a bewildering array of vintage synth arpeggios punctuate the atmosphere before the whole sacramental affair is catapulted to an 80s Berlin disco, where the area clergy finally break down and try on a pair of knee-highs spiked heels just to see what all the fuss is about. Includes a throbbing tech-house dub mix.

Magisterium is now available on YouTube, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud.

Enjoy, and happy Halloween 2021! 🎃

What Lies Beneath Could Have Been a Masterpiece

(This review contains spoilers.)

What Lies Beneath (2000) isn’t a great film. Heck, it isn’t even a particularly good film by most people’s standards, given the 47% Rotten Tomatoes score.

It is however one of my favorite films, and it’s not a guilty-pleasure thing or a so-bad-it’s-good thing; I love this film for what it could have been: a masterpiece.

Music Alert: The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse – A Poison Mind

My darkwave band The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse are just pleased as punch to announce our new single, A Poison Mind, out today!

Desires fueled by rot… rabid nightmares… scorpion-filled thoughts… interminable self-loathing… A Poison Mind that desires release. Join the Seven Whores of the Apocalypse as they ride through the black light and exorcise the demons with a fusion of susurrant vocals, vaporous bass, and drums that echo throughout the catacombs.

Stream A Poison Mind our Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube channels.

Pareidolia: New & Improved

In 2017 I self-published my first stab at a novel, a highish-concept science fiction thriller named Pareidolia. You can read the premise here, and the table of contents can be found here.

I had also published a single deleted chapter when the book came out, but today I added four more. Click here to read these never before seen chapters, as well as other fun bonus material.

I stupidly forgot to link each chapter to the next, so you always had to go back to the TOC to keep reading. No more. Now there are go-to-next-chapter links at the bottom of each chapter post.

Enjoy!

Music Alert: The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse – Pathological

My electro-industrial band The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse are just pleased as punch to announce our second single Pathological!

Our debut follow-up Pathological winds up a creeping carnival of vintage analog delights before exploding into a screaming frenzy of depravity and desperation. Strap on some black pleather and enjoy the show!

You can listen to both the original version and the extended dub mix on our BandCamp, SoundCloud and YouTube channels.

Enjoy!
