From the recording Urvater
If you are a fan of Death, Cynic, and Carcass. This song began its conception in 2013 in the middle of my wife and I's Tattoo and SFX Studio in Las Vegas, NV. This is an homage to Chuck Schuldiner, one of the OG's of Old School Death Metal. During the process I felt it necessary to travel to the backwaters of Florida to work with James Murphy of numerous metal legacies. After getting some music 101 schooling at the ground level from James, in recording and capturing my performances, I gained a better understanding of the workings of Pro Tools. I then proceeded to work with the late great Tim Aymar of Control Denied fame, to further my vocal training following having worked with CJ Szuter. The Urvater single was released in the Spring of 2021.
A HUGE THANKS to Poser Extraordinaire Tom Madera for handling Ryth guitar & that Nasty, 2nd solo!!! Axeman for Vegas's own Pillars Of Creation. As well as James F Murphy and Gus Rios for lending hand on the track! And as always Guest Growler Ash the Wolf Dog, miss you buddy.
Lyrics
As we fight our battles in this world
We ascend in fear of ourselves
Within a crucial turning point in time
A forefather has emerged to pave a way
Forefather – Urvater
Built through pain, it's the way of brutality
This vision
This counter-clock of graphs and lines
This magick mind was never our design
Oh behold these manufactured shells
Rusting pillars set on high
Desolate freeways blur as life slips us by
Struggle each day just to be ourselves
Forefather – Urvater
Built through pain, it's the way of brutality
This signal
This counter-clock of graphs and lines
This magick mind was never our design
I know who I am now me
The bloom at the end of an ashen highway
No greater, no smaller
A simple broadcast gone unheard
As we cure disease among our kind
Encode the strands with a bio-hack
Printing systems to colonize
Hurling life-forms at the stars
Forefather – Urvater
Built through pain, it's the way of brutality
This genome
This counter-clock of graphs and lines
This magick mind was never our design
