The swell of valley air Snow crested monoliths The flesh of an heir The breath you cannot breathe The dread of waking up each day The summer heat The long nights far from home All my bloodline bears the same weight Of feasting on the harvest Of the devil coursing through our home There is no fire Strong enough To keep me warm I saw the plague Ravage through the throat of the wind Each day that passes The fear grows and grows Until there's just cold And the days just pass The swell of valley air Snow crested monoliths The flesh of an heir The breath you cannot breathe

The Appalachian Mountains are best known for its deep and rich folklore surrounding mythical creatures and ominous happenings throughout its magical rolling hills. But the true story of the region is much less fantastical and much more despairing. The region has a long and painful history of exploitation of natural resources, abuse of labor rights, genocide of indigenous peoples, addiction, and a plague of predatory evangelism. This 5-track demo seeks to address some of the pains of the place I call home.

This demo was recorded late 2022 through early 2023.
