ODYSSEUS - NEW GREEK MYTHOLOGY SONG LIVE!

Odysseus spent ten years fighting his way home from Troy. He survived monsters, storms and the anger of the gods, but his own pride caused some of his greatest troubles.

When he finally reached Ithaca, he found strangers occupying his palace. Instead of revealing himself, he entered disguised as a beggar and waited.

My retelling of Homer's Odyssey focuses on that change in him. The man who once shouted his name at the Cyclops now understands the strength of keeping silent.

It's a story about learning that we cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can trust ourselves to deal with whatever comes next.

NEW HALLOWEEN SONG!

DRACULA | INVITE ME IN

Some monsters hunt in the shadows. Others wait patiently at your door.

For this Halloween song, we're heading to Transylvania and into the mind of Count Dracula himself.

Inspired by Bram Stoker's legendary 1897 novel, this retelling follows the vampire from his ancient castle in the Carpathian Mountains to England, where his hunger brings him into conflict with those determined to destroy him.

Centuries have passed, kingdoms have fallen, and Dracula remains convinced that death is something meant for other people.

All he needs is an invitation.

NEW KING ARTHUR SONG!

Morgan le Fay’s revenge on King Arthur was never about overpowering him in battle.
After Accolon’s death, she went after something far more important than Excalibur: its enchanted scabbard, the protection that kept Arthur from bleeding from his wounds.

She stole it while he slept and, when he pursued her, threw it into a lake rather than allow him to have it back.

This retelling gives Morgan the story in her own voice: the failed plot, the loss of Accolon, and the calculated revenge that followed.

NEW HALLOWEEN SONG! THE OLD IRISH LEGEND BEHIND JACK-O'-LANTERN

Before the pumpkin, there was a turnip. Before the jack-o'-lantern, there was Jack.

Stingy Jack tricked the Devil twice and made sure Hell could never claim his soul. It seemed like the perfect bargain, until Jack died and discovered that Heaven wanted nothing to do with him either.

One glowing coal, one hollowed-out turnip, and an eternity of wandering.

The old Irish legend behind one of Halloween's most recognizable symbols, retold from Jack's own point of view.

NEW IRISH SONG (WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)


Macha warned Cruinniuc never to boast about how fast she could run. He did it anyway.

When he claimed she could outrun the King of Ulster’s horses, Macha was brought before the king and ordered to prove it. She was close to giving birth to twins and begged them to wait. No one listened, and no one stood up for her.

Macha ran the race and won. What followed became one of the most famous curses of the Ulster Cycle.

For this retelling, Macha tells her own story entirely in Gaeilge.

NEW HALLOWEEN SONG!

In 1589, Peter Stumpp was executed in Bedburg after being accused of something far darker than murder.

According to the legend, the Devil had given him a magical girdle that transformed him into a werewolf. For years, the creature was said to have hunted through the countryside until villagers and their dogs finally gave chase.

They caught Peter Stumpp.

They never found the girdle.

The Werewolf of Bedburg tells his infamous story from inside the legend, through the eyes of the man said to have become the beast.

NEW SONG RELEASE!

Job is one of the Bible's most difficult characters, and for this song I wanted to look at him from a different angle.

After losing his children, his possessions and his health, Job refuses the convenient explanation that he must somehow deserve his suffering. He protests. He questions. He curses the day he was born.

This song imagines something the biblical text never states quite so directly: Job is angry with God.

But anger is not the opposite of faith. My Job can be furious with God and still believe in Him, still need Him, still speak to Him. And when God finally answers from the whirlwind, there is no neat explanation that makes everything all right.

This is my interpretation of Job: wounded, furious, grieving, faithful and painfully human.

NEW HORROR SONG - JAPANESE URBAN LEGEND ABOUT KUCHISAKE-ONNA

A woman stops you late at night in Tokyo. She wears a surgical mask. Her voice is calm.



“Am I beautiful?”

If you answer “no,” you die.
If you answer “yes,” she removes the mask… and asks again.


Kuchisake-onna became one of Japan’s most infamous urban legends because the horror is not just violence, but the feeling of being trapped inside a question with no safe answer.


I wanted this song to lean fully into the atmosphere of Japanese psychological horror: eerie calmness, distorted humanity, and the sense that something is deeply wrong long before the terror fully reveals itself.

NEW ROMAN LEGION SONG RELEASE - THE BATTLE OF TEUTOBURG FOREST - BETRAYAL BY ARMINIUS

For years, he fought for Rome. He wore Roman colors, spoke the language of the empire, and earned the trust of the men beside him.

Then came a choice that would change history.

This song tells the story of Arminius on the eve of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest (9 AD), not as a conqueror or a hero, but as a man caught between two worlds. Raised within the Roman system, yet born among the Germanic tribes, he must decide where his loyalty truly lies.

By dawn, three Roman legions will march into the forest.

And nothing will ever be the same again. ⚔️🌲

NEW SPOOKY SONG RELEASE!

Something sinister has crawled out of Scottish folklore for this week's song.

REDCAP takes us into the ruined castles and towers of the Scottish Borders, where legend tells of a vicious goblin in heavy iron boots and a blood-red cap.

And that cap is red for a reason.

According to the old tales, the Redcap soaked it in the blood of his victims. Worse still, he had to keep it stained with fresh blood to remain alive.

This time, the legend gets to speak for himself.

REDCAP | The Blood-Soaked Goblin of Scottish Folklore is now on the channel.

Perfect timing as the nights grow darker and we head toward Halloween.
