Delving into October and all things Halloween, I have a new album of songs out now on Bandcamp. Violent Dreamer is free to download and stream, so listen if you please. As always, it will be available on major streaming services in the coming weeks.
Listen here, friend –

Daisy Chain Haze
Vocals, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drum Machine, Tambourine, Drone – Pinnacle Tricks
Just leave it alone
I didn’t ask for any of this
And if the branches should touch heaven
Then the roots touch hell
So why do you tie us down?
Why do you bear your thorns?
Why don’t you realise –
The light will see you reborn
I’m still around
A garland upon your pain
Waiting for you
To pull up your daisy chain
You link your ideas
And flex in the fine print
Go on, you’re smart
Come on and flash your little petals
Throw me overboard beneath my star
Ashes to ashes we all hold hands
Dust to dust we all fall down
Wither and fall, we all fall
So why do you tie us down?
Why do you bear your thorns?
Why don’t you realise –
The light will see you reborn
I’m still around
A garland upon your pain
Waiting for you
To pull up your daisy chain
Road To – [Desert Song]
Vocals, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drum Machine, Drone – Pinnacle Tricks
Here I am once again I am
Blinded by the sun and all I see is
The darkness that surrounds
Here I am once again I am
Parched by the drought and drenched in
The sweat of my lifeblood
Here I am once again I am
feet are burning but I can
no longer run
Here I am once again I am
My forehead is aflame
But the heat won’t stop
No the heat won’t stop
No long no longer go
With the scorching sands
And the sunburnt blisters
And the viper sings
And the sand whip stings
And the hot wind it blows
And the earth is scorched
And the ground is salt
And the cobra strike
And the viper fang
I can’t go on under this sun
This light, this violent star
There’s nowhere left to run
Here I am once again
And above my head
The sun dost hang
And above my soul
My death dost hang
And how can I walk tomorrow
After what I saw today?
This house is not a home
Flick the Switch and Kill It
Vocals, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drum Machine, Tambourine, Drone – Pinnacle Tricks
You wind me up like a toy
And I walk right off the top of the stairs
Throw me away when i break
Awake but I’m dead
I’ll watch you pull my strings
When I’d rather lie back down
And lie to myself
Pretend that I’m happy with any of this
Because I’m alive
But I might as well be dead
You told me sleep is for the weak
Well darling, I’m weak as they come
And on last night’s indiscretions
I wasted the morning
It’s hard to say that I care
When time just passes anyway
And when no-one see you win,
No-one can hear you scream
Because I’m alive
But I might as well be dead
And I can’t stop those voices
From screaming in my head

Beksiński [We Can See Screams]
Vocals, Electric Guitar, 12-String Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drum Machine – Pinnacle Tricks
We can, we can, we can
See screams, see screams
We can, we can, we can
See screams, see screams
Valley, valley, valley
Shadow
Ruined, ruined, ruined
Mind
We can, we can,
See their screams
Ultra, ultra, ultra
Phrygian, Phrygian
Valley, valley, valley
Shadow
Ruined, ruined, ruined
Mind
We can, we can,
See their screams
Decept-, decept-, deceptive
cadence, deceit
We can, we can, we can
See screams, see screams
We can, we can, we can
See screams, see screams
Valley, valley, valley
Shadow
Ruined, ruined, ruined
Mind
See them screaming

Ursa Minor [Polaris Afar]
Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Flutes, Bass, Drum Machine – Pinnacle Tricks
That snow-capped star,
Polaris, Polaris afar
Come guide us home
Cross mountain and forest alone
How old’s your light
In our nebulous plight?
And how long can you burn
When there’s ice in your bow?
So come guide us home,
Polaris, Polaris alone
That snow-capped star,
Polaris, Polaris afar
Light of the moon, o’ wax, o’ wane
Adrift in endless heavenly plain
Cover and comfort the weary contrite
Weaving and stitching the fabric of night
Awake and a’watch the sleeping above
Silent insomniac cosmically wove
But we’re miles away
From the dawn of the day
So guide us home,
Polaris, Polaris alone
That snow-capped star,
Polaris, Polaris afar

Walk Into the Sea
Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Piano, Bass, Drum Machine, Tambourine, Drone – Pinnacle Tricks
Unfurl the wet sails
Hope they catch on impartial gale
Clenching my fists
Screaming soundless in the roaring mist
The horizon moves with me
I feel my feet sink
In the sand washing in the drink
Down here where the waves
Rise around me in a concave
And my fear led me here
But it’s doubt withholding where I’d be
Like the sea shells picked and chose,
Little star shards are cast aside
The horizon moves with me
All the voices prattling in their cages
And I want my voice be heard and last throughout the ages
But no-one reads the words upon my pages
Got no control of this ride
Drifting aimless among the tide
And with each wave I crest,
Try to separate me from the rest
The horizon moves with me
Swirling in the turgid swell, descend to hell
And the waves are higher when I’m down to meet them
Will anyone see if I walk into the sea now?
Lost On the Cutting Room Floor
Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Tambourine – Pinnacle Tricks
There’s no point giving answers
To a question no-one asked
And you would not want to hear
That golden moment’s come to pass
You’re broken
You’re faded
Disintegrated in the sun
That’s off and setting
The person that you’ve once known
Is a stranger misconstrued
With memories made without them
But darling, so are you
You’re angry
You’re damned
You’re hungry for embrace
To rest your heart in
Don’t mean much when you know them
And you mightn’t look it twice
So how, when we’re no longer
Could you hold a greater price?
You’re confused
Paralysed
You thought you heard a noise
But you’re alone dear
