Song Number 9 On "Organic Discontent." I've Always Liked The Idea Of Murder Ballads, But I'd Never Really

Song number 9 on "Organic Discontent." I've always liked the idea of murder ballads, but I'd never really found one that was as crushingly bleak as I might have liked. This song is an attempt to fill something of that hole for myself. I tried to imagine what it might feel like to have done something utterly horrid that cannot be undone. I wanted to try to capture something of what I imagine must be a moment of piercing realisation, when instinct, aggression and adrenaline instantly recede and a heavy tidal wave of acute, oppressive awareness comes rolling in, leaving your entire being flooded with sickening regret. We should always remember that killing another human being is actually incredibly easy and something, I believe, we are all capable of ... to be human and to live in any way that even comes close to what we might define as "good" requires eternal vigilance.

Fürth.

Official video clip for “To the black horizon,” from the new album “Organic Discontent.” The video is taken from footage that I filmed while travelling around Iceland in October 2015. Expect volcanos, fjords, glacial icebergs, and a few black horizons.

A couple of weeks ago I played a live session on Radio-Z Nürnberg. It was a heap of fun. Straight-up, raw and authentic, no bull-honky. This is a video of the entire set.

Here’s a demo of a new song I’ve been working on!

My gloomy version of “Silent Night” will surely lift your Xmas 2020 spirits.
