For anyone that hasn’t already been blown away by this amazingly catchy song, do yourself, and all of us involved, a huge favour and check it out! Some seriously talented people got involved in this and it’s one of the catchiest songs I’ve worked on this year!

May I present to you my heaviest track yet: “Remember To Breathe”. A Blackened Gothic Metal track featuring Sarah Jezebel Deva as my singing partner and Mustis on Piano!

A big thank you to my Patrons for making this possible along with the super talented line up! (Credits to follow in comments)

You can now listen to “Remember To Breathe” on all streaming platforms and also grab this track on Bandcamp.

I hope you enjoy it during this fabulously witchy season! x 🔮🍂

FINALLY! We formally announce the release of our 2nd EP for January 21st, 2022. Since we're Shot Down Twice, we feel it appropriate for this to be a ''Self-Titled'' EP. We're very happy that this is coming out and we're certain that if you enjoyed our previous release ''Got Up Once'' you will absolutely LOVE this. We've taken alot of the strong elements of ''Got Up Once'' and expanded on them, we think and hope we've taken it to another level.

We will release a teaser tommorow for our music video ''Talk To Me'' which comes out this FRIDAY! Please do share it and show it to anyone and everyone when we drop it. See you this Saturday in Hamilton for Lutharo CD Release w/ Aepoch, Duskwalker and Shot Down Twice come out!!!

It feels like it's been such a long wait but the day is finally here!

The new Lutharo album "Hiraeth" is finally out! A lot of great people put a ton of hard work into this one so show them some love and support!

🚨THE DAY HAS COME!! Our new album “Hiraeth” is finally out and available world wide! We are extremely excited about this release but of course we couldn’t do it alone. With that being said we would like to thank Tyler Williams Monolithic Productions for his countless studio hours and mixing, Lasse Lammert / LSD-Studio for the incredible job mastering, Elliot Vernon for some wicked orchestration and good advice, last but not least Dark Moon Productions for the amazing videos and some yet to come 😉. Thank YOU all for your continuous support, we couldn’t do it without your dedication to our band. 🤘❤️

A handful of tasty options but I’ve gotta say this old ass recto just rocks so fu***ng hard! Can’t say they aren’t a classic and there’s probably a good reason why.

Been aching to try some new things with drum room mics. I have a bunch of drum sessions coming up over the next few months so decided to grab a pair of these WA47jrs to try on rooms, amongst other things of course.
Can’t wait to try em out!

Haven’t played my instruments nearly as much as I should have lately but today feels like an appropriate day to bust out the appropriately named “Bass Windu”.

27/03/2021

Just wrapped day 1 of drums with and this sexy frankenkit.
Things are sounding pretty damn good and the changes to this space have been a joy to work with. This session involved a lot of experimenting and is yielding some pretty spectacular results!
