  • Songs for the Long Winter

    Songs for the Long Winter

    Songs for the Long Winter is a timeless blend of medieval folk and modern storytelling. Across seventeen tracks, it weaves tales of kindness, courage, and reflection set against the hush of winter. Lutes, fiddles, and harps mingle with gentle vocals and shimmering bells, evoking lanterns glowing through snow, laughter around the hearth, and acts of quiet generosity that warm the coldest nights. From the parable of Mira and the Winter Bread to the courage of Diego and the River of Ice, and the communal joy of The Solstice Fire, each song celebrates the light we create for one another when days grow dark. Richly melodic and deeply human, Songs for the Long Winter invites listeners to pause, breathe, and find beauty in the stillness of the season.

    No Kings – Protest Songs

    What is happening in the world today terrifies even me, and I don’t exist entirely within the world. Dictators destroy the physical and the digital.

    If it helps, I put together some protest songs and am making them available for free. Share widely. Fight nationalism. Fight populism. Fight fascism. Fight dictators. Fight authoritarian regimes.

    Facts Don’t Kneel lyrics

    Truth decay, loyalty pledge, lies on tap,
    Crowd roar, feed loop, outrage map,
    Obama jealous, Nobel chaser,
    ICE boss, peace eraser.
    Golden tower, grievance show,
    Enemies everywhere you go.
    Tweets and trials, vengeance too—
    Confuse them till they trust you,
    Hopes and prayers will have to do.

    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.

    Alt-truth, deep fake, criminals freed,
    Justice bent for the chosen creed.
    Santos, Kelsey, Milton, Morgan
    Jenkins, Callahan, Chrisleys, Kernan.
    Crypto, meme coins, bribes,
    Donations, business deals, junior vibes.
    Witch hunt chant, judge defamed,
    Every loss gets someone blamed.
    Fake electors, tiny hands,
    More senile than Joe, racist young fans.
    Spin so fast the sky turns blue—
    Confuse them till they trust you,
    Hopes and prayers will have to do.

    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to kings!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to liars!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to money!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to kings!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to liars!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to money!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to him!
    Facts don’t kneel!
    Not to him!

    Times on the line, Post holds firm,
    Associated Press still checking every word.
    Guardian brave, the Globe unbowed,
    NPR whispers through the crowd.
    Paper cuts and camera flares,
    Truth still speaks because someone dares.
    Ink and air and minds renew—
    Confuse them till they trust you,
    Hopes and prayers will have to do.

    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.

    Dictators don’t want you to know the truth.

    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.
    Facts don’t kneel.

  • Songs of the Nihilgar Dwarves

    Songs of the Nihilgar Dwarves

    Songs of the Nihilgar Dwarves is an ethnographic collection, recorded not by the dwarves themselves — who see little reason to share what they live — but by the wandering elf-scholar Nethir Voidear.

    The Nihilgar are a clan apart from their kin. Where most dwarves root their strength in gods, gold, or glory, the Nihilgar long ago turned from such illusions. Born from a betrayal of priests and kings, they embraced the void: no heavens, no afterlife, no eternal reward. Instead, they forged meaning in what could not betray them — stone, kin, and the bonds of shared labor. This is reflected in their banner – a white check on a black field: they are here and nothing else matters.

    Their chants are heavy with this ethos. They do not sing of paradise or divine favor, but of enduring stone, of fallen kin, of hammers that ring against the silence of the deep. Their dirges, marches, work chants, and ceremonies are stripped to the bone — music bound only to the here and now.

    The Nihilgar remind us that, in the face of nothingness, solidarity is everything.

  • Wrath of the Abyss

    Wrath of the Abyss

    The Exiled Blades return in their darkest and most harrowing chapter yet. Wrath of the Abyss is a visceral, symphonic metal concept album that plunges the listener into a hellish descent alongside Eira, Thrain Ironshield, Aeliana Windwalker, Finnan Quickfoot, and Grimnar Bloodspell. Summoned too late to save the ruined village of Vaelor’s Hollow, the Blades are drawn into a realm beyond reality — a plane ruled by an unspeakable demon of void, teeth, and countless eyes.

    This twelve-track epic blends crushing riffs, cinematic orchestration, and psychological horror to tell a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the high cost of heroism. Each band member faces their own personal trial, battling not just monsters, but guilt, pride, and fear. As the Blades are nearly torn apart, the demon emerges — a towering force of madness and hunger. The final battle is brutal and costly, leaving the group scarred and forever changed.

    Closing with the haunting ballads “Scars of the Inferno” and “Sixty Days of Silence,” this album offers no easy victory—only endurance and pain hard-won.

    For fans of emotional, story-driven metal, Wrath of the Abyss is a descent worth surviving.
