I Let Him Win v4.5
Crusaderv4.5
heavy emo alt rock carries the entire theme, The vocals mix grit and crooning, This track fuses alt-rock grit with complex math rock rhythms—irregular drums, angular clean guitars, and ambient noise layers, Expansive noise walls intensify the choruses, while dark chillstep textures pulse beneath emotive male vocals, It maintains an indie rock spirit, balancing surging dynamics and atmospheric breaks
A heavy, melodic blend of alternative grunge and dark rock, defined by thick, riff-driven guitars and pounding, groove-centered drums, The bass doesn’t just fill space—it fuses melody and rhythm, creating a solid backbone that amplifies the music’s intensity, Songs are structured with dynamic shifts: verses that simmer with tension, choruses that erupt with raw emotion, and bridges or outros that change tempo or style to elevate the narrative flow, Vocally, the lead brings a southern rock edge with a trace of Texas in the phrasing—gravel, warmth, and soul without oversinging, Sitting comfortably between upper baritone (A3) and lower tenor (C4), the voice delivers lyrics with an everyman authenticity—confident, emotional, and powerfully restrained, The result is a sound that’s both hard-hitting and deeply relatable: heavy music with heart, and metal-tinted rock with a human pulse

DARK MATTER
A bold evolution of 2000's alt rock, reimagined for a new era—where raw, distorted guitar tones carve out signature, original riffs that are as haunting as they are heroic. Drums hit with a punchy, recognizable groove—equal parts primal and precise—anchoring the sound in grit and emotional clarity. Male vocals sit confidently in a grounded mid-range (Middle C to Middle A), avoiding high octave climaxes in favor of a rich, resonant tone that carries weight without theatrics. The delivery is raw, honest, and steady—perfectly suited to both war songs and love songs. Whether it's the sound of defiance, devotion, or devastation, the music blends analog angst with modern edge, channeling a deep emotional current through every track.

Untitled Persona
Dark chillstep pulses and math-heavy ambient noise walls crash into grunge-laced alt-rock riffs, jazzy cabaretwave brass, and emotionally charged prog breakdowns. A deep-toned male vocalist—anchored in the low C octave—delivers an anti-tragedy arc through shifting indie rock terrain, before dissolving into dreamy Appalachian fingerpicking, lush atmospheric pads, and folk-infused reverie—where delicate strings and cinematic textures linger like echoes in mist.

Ashborne
Delicate Appalachian strings, lush atmospheric pads, and folky fingerpicked verses flow into choruses with bold big band brass, grunge guitar fuzz, and jazzy cabaretwave flourishes. Prog ambient noise textures underpin trained male vocals, all wrapped in a dreamy dream pop–indie rock rhythm.
