new band - Vulgarite - here are some drafts if you're curious (Patreon)

I've been working on a couple albums--No Dawn for Men, by Feminazgûl; and Come to Daggers, by Alsarath. But both of those projects have collaborators, which means downtime when I'm not working on them, and since my brain is fully in "make music, especially metal" mode, I started Vulgarite. It's a blackened doom metal band (which is to say: very slow and heavy with harsh vocals) and I'm super proud of it. Thematically, it draws on christian heresies and the work of William Blake. To "vulgarize" is (ironically) to put something in plain language, and I'm fascinated by the people who fought to take teachings away from the elite (the church, in this case) and put them into the hands of the common folk.I'll release a four-song EP soon. I'm doing final vocals and drums on the fourth track now. But I want to share it with you. Please don't spread these, as they're not the final versions.
