IN THEBES
Two new songs for your Halloween weekend. I wrote these songs this week as the leaves began to fall and the days became shorter. Something about this triggers the post-punk and goth influence (though always present) to the front. The cold rain and hiding sun cannot keep my warmth from you.
At the base of the inverted pyramid, the day before the day before Halloween. In Thebes, the king gouges out his own eyes. I want to bathe in the blood and the light tonight.

I lied.
I am not sorry. When last we spoke I said I was going to take some time to finish the upcoming third LP for A PREGNANT LIGHT. While that is true, the most reckless thing an artist can do isn’t to be reckless in their art, it is to ignore the compulsion to create. I cannot speak on why others create, I can only speak to my own impulses. To disobey the muse, or worse, ignore her, would be the greatest sin an artist can commit.
It’s work. It’s stress. It’s a crucible with little to no reward, or at least a reward in the the way the world looks at these things. There is no fame, money or acclaim that I seek or will likely fall into my lap. These songs were floating in the starless sky. It was my job to reach out into that infinite black and pull them down. To continue to mix metaphors, the statue was in the stone. I just had to pull it out. So with chains around my neck and a chisel in my teeth, hammer in hand I pulled MANDARINE and TANGÈRIN from silence to song.
I will now continue work on the upcoming A PREGNANT LIGHT record, but I cannot enter the summer season without some kind of statement. These songs are special.
Today is your day. I love you.
Two new songs written, recorded, produced, and performed by Damian Master. Breezing acoustic guitar driven tracks lead way to melodic black metal and post-punk inspired purple metal. Songs for the impending summer heat. Dense layers of guitar melodies and Peter Hook-ian bass colliding into the sun. Let me drive.

Visit the “STORE” link for digital download purchase.

And finally, in honor of the two-year anniversary of Broken Play, APL’s second full length, a rare in-person interview was done with Terminus Extreme Metal Podcast. You can see the link embedded in this post. Available on all podcast platforms as well.
The review that TBMG gave Broken Play was one of the finest pieces of work ever done on APL to date. He really nailed the spirit of the record. Following his in depth review is what they called an “equal parts hilarious and nakedly honest” interview. If Broken Play means something special to you, it’s worth checking out.
thanks for sticking around.
