You liar.

This is basically a repost of what I said on Facebook.
Ray from GraveSideService has started spreading lies about me and about the label, and everything below this is PROOF that he's lying. I have receipts for EVERY SINGLE CLAIM HE MAKES.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

1) He claims they refused payment. FALSE.

 .

2) He claims I removed their album. FALSE.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt with this and mentioned my problems with Kunaki, thinking he meant the CD. No, he is undeniably claiming I completely removed their album INCLUDING digital which I did not do. And while I obviously can't prove every single day it was up, I can 100% prove it was up:
from release until February 2021
in September 2021
and from April 2022 to August 2022
And why exactly would I have removed it between February and September only to bring it back? Or from September to May? Also note he made this accusation in August of 2022 and we have 100% proof that it was up IN THAT MONTH.

Also note the page source proves I last edited the album (I forget why, new CD link?) in April of 2022, moving it up an EXTRA month I can prove

FINALLY, PERSONAL STUFF.

1) Correction, ONE of their songs has the most views. Unless he's talking about YouTube, but the channel I uploaded that to is unrelated to APP. That's a completely separate side thing I do to promote bands, not release their albums for profit. Either way he's still wrong, because even on YouTube, Obliteration got more views than the one about GSS.

1.5) Also, views don't translate into sales.

2) He claims they never wanted money. I proved this wrong above.

3) "The only band here that told you we dont need payment!"...... Other bands besides GSS who have told me they don't need payment: 1. Betheos Abshalom; 2. Sanctified Ethos; 3. Exalted Saviour; 4. Victory; 5. Hated; 6. Alabanzas Tecorpusta; 7. Sanctification; 8. Iustus Ira; 9. Horror Tomb; and 10-23. EVERY SINGLE BAND that appeared on the "Raw Unblack and Harsh Noise" compilation.

4) No, he turned around and tried to make ME look bad. You can see in our commments that he randomly began accusing ME, I did not start this, unless you count my rebukes as "starting this". But let's even say I was WRONG in my rebukes. I wasn't, but let's just say that I was. That would make me "wrong" meaning, in need of correction, NOT a "liar", meaning I'd be spreading wrong info on purpose.

1) He claims I turned against them because of our disagreements. I've proved in the other comments that no, I didn't. Yes we do disagree on MANY things. He is anti-vax, I'm pro-vax. He's a covid skeptic and I support social distancing guidelines.
HE, THE "CHRISTIAN" HERE, BELIEVES IN GHOSTS, REINCARNATION, REJECTS THE INERRANCY OF SCRIPTURE (BELIEVES IT'S BEEN CORRUPTED BY HUMANS) AND MUCH MORE, MEANWHILE I DON'T. HE FOLLOWS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (NDEs, ETC) WHILE I BELIEVE IN SOLA SCRIPTURA.
... and yet through all of these disagreements, I have PROVEN that I did NOT turn my back on them. I kept them signed and kept their music up, both for business reasons, and in hopes that Ray would eventually reject these weird beliefs and come to a closer relationship with Christ. He's gone in the opposite direction instead.
.
2) In his complaints of me coming onto his page and arguing, he makes it seem like my rebukes were random and unexpected. See also his own comment, "He just berates my solid Christian views on my private page like a oddball stalker." ......... We were Facebook friends since, either before I signed them or right after I signed them. I saw his posts constantly BECAUSE we were Facebook friends. My disagreements with him were NO MORE random, unprovoked, or stalkerish than ANY OTHER disagreement between people on Facebook. Note that in all these screenshots, I use my personal account to communicate with him, NOT this page. That's because we are added on each other's so-called "private" accounts.

 

Here are some of the writings of someone who is being rebuked in love by a friend/acquaintance. Or as he calls it, "berated" by "a oddball stalker":

 

..... and so, Ray is proven to be a two-faced, new age, compulsive liar masquerading as a "good Christian" until somebody annoys him.

GraveSideService are no longer welcome on APP as long as Ray is in the band, and I caution all labels reading this (Christian AND secular) to take note.

1) KING OF IMMENSE GLORY
4:32, lyrics:
Oh King of immense Glory
your house is built
on the rock
nothing can break it down
not even the rain
not even the strong wind

The tolling of the bell
mark the hours of the Lord
he created time
he reigns over it and over us

Despite all the bad
what we do to the Earth
he continues to love us
he also tests us

What we can do
in exchange for him
is to glorify him
forever and for Always

Oh King of immense Glory
your house is built
on the rock
nothing can break it down
not even the rain
not even the strong wind

The tolling of the bell
mark the hours of the Lord
he created time
he reigns over it and over us

If we pray
he already knows what we are asking
he prepares the way for us
he is our shepherd

I pray the Father
the Son and the Holy Spirit
the Trinity protects us
my soul hopes in his word

Oh King of immense Glory
your house is built
on the rock
nothing can break it down
not even the rain
not even the strong wind

The tolling of the bell
mark the hours of the Lord
he created time
he reigns over it and over us

Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory

2) SAINT MICHAEL AND THE DRAGON
3:43, lyrics:
Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.

We must defeat all the evil
as Archangel Michael defeat the Dragon
the warrior, Prince of God
we invoke against evil

St. Archangel Michael
You lead the army of God
against the eternal adversary,
light against darkness

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in the struggle,
through your beneficial protection,
we are free from all our spiritual enemies.

We cast out Satan from us,
let's not be fooled,
but in the Lord we put our faith,
he leads us on the right path

I was once a sinner too,
I wandered and turned God away from me,
but then Jesus came to see me,
and now it lives in me

I will no longer fall into temptation,
I will not be fooled,
every day I pray to Michael the archangel,
and all the angelic choirs

Together we will crush Satan
We will destroy it forever
He and his demons be damned
We will stab him with the sword

It will not be able to reach the sky
He will perish under divine goodness
And so finally
It will be the kingdom of God

The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.

We must defeat all the evil
as Archangel Michael defeat the Dragon
the warrior, Prince of God
we invoke against evil

St. Archangel Michael
You lead the army of God
against the eternal adversary,
light against darkness

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in the struggle,
through your beneficial protection,
we are free from all our spiritual enemies.

We cast out Satan from us,
let's not be fooled,
but in the Lord we put our faith,
he leads us on the right path

I was once a sinner too,
I wandered and turned God away from me,
but then Jesus came to see me,
and now it lives in me...

3) IN THE DEPTHS OF HEARTS
3:49, lyrics:
A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of Hearts
faith and hope awaken

With humility, and love
everything can only get better
with charity and positivity
we help ourselves and others

He decided to walk among us,
to abide within us
in whoever has faith in him
because we are his temple

He died for us,
we must be grateful to him
he revealed his heart to us
because we are his flock

His is the sea, he made it,
his hands shaped the earth
let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
Let us draw near to him to give him thanks

We have to be better people
learn from his son
Imitate him in everything
and follow his teachings

A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of  Hearts
faith and hope awaken

When night falls
I'm no longer afraid,
because you are with me
I trust in you

Always be praised
Always be magnified
You will defeat the eternal adversary
Only the Lamb will remain

A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of  Hearts
faith and hope awaken

Lord our God,
Protect us from temptation,
Make that only faith in you
fill our heart

The Holy Trinity
It will give us strength.
We will not stop before our enemies,
We will turn the other cheek

Glory be to the father and the son
and to the holy spirit,
glory be to the Virgin Mary
and to the holy Church

Glory to the angelic choirs
to all the saints and blessed
to those who have fallen asleep
in the hope of resurrection

A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of  Hearts
faith and hope awaken

In the Depths of Hearts
In the Depths of Hearts

4) PSALM 149
3:57, lyrics:
Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise of him in the assembly of the faithful.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

Let them praise his name with dancing
  and make music to him with timbrel and harp
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
 he crowns the humble with victory.

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.
May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations
 and punishment on the peoples,
To bind their kings with fetters
their nobles with shackles of iron,

to carry out the sentence written against them
 this is the glory of all his faithful people.

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise of him in the assembly of the faithful.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

Let them praise his name with dancing
 and make music to him with timbrel and harp
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.
May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
To bind their kings with fetters
 their nobles with shackles of iron,

Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise of him in the assembly of the faithful.

5) WAY TO CALVARY
4:04, lyrics:
Everyone carries his cross
Like Christ towards Calvary
But he knew he had to do it
He did it for us

He asked God to forgive them
because they did not know what they were doing
He endured evil man made

He endured the oppression
and humiliation
he died for us

And he has risen for us
in spite of everything
we must be like him
endure not just expect something

So many people make mistakes,
not believing in him they are wrong
But in the end
we will all be judged

On the way to Calvary,
Christ suffered but continued
he died for us
this is the greatest teaching

Jesus, shouting with a loud voice, said:
"Father, into your hands
I commit my spirit."
Having said this, he died.

Everyone carries his cross
Like Christ towards Calvary
But he knew he had to do it
He did it for us

On the way to Calvary,
Christ suffered but continued
he died for us
this is the greatest teaching

On the way to Calvary
On the way to Calvary

On the way to Calvary,
Christ suffered but continued
he died for us
this is the greatest teaching.

6) HEAVEN IS HERE ON EARTH
3:58, lyrics:
Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

Once man lived in Eden
Then we let ourselves go
to forbidden temptations
And we were cast out

This means that if we want
We can go back there
just abandon the wrong path
To return to that place

That place of peace,
where we have everything we need
where the Lord lives with us
and we lack nothing

Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

We work hard to appear,
to enjoy, to get more
when we should only
rely on him

God is our Father,
he never deceives us
he alone can judge us
and forgive us

Therefore we must honor him
and don't forget about him
this life is a breath
death is eternal

Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

For those who live without faith
and does not rely on God
eternity does not wait for him,
but the eternal punishment

we must pray
and we must live each day with faith
we will feel better
and we will treat others better

Because Heaven is here
the earth is God's garden
where his feet rest
as he sits on the Holy Throne

Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

Once man lived in Eden
Then we let ourselves go
to forbidden temptations
And we were cast out

This means that if we want
We can go back there
just abandon the wrong path
To return to that place

That place of peace,
where we have everything we need
where the Lord lives with us
and we lack nothing

Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

7) LEARN TO LET IT GO
3:33, lyrics:
It happens in life
of having too many attachments
we get distracted
for useless things

We no longer distinguish
the true from the false
and more we have
we want more

But we have the Lord
he stays with us
if we want it
he does not abandon us

He will judge us
for how we have lived
whoever lives in his name
will be rewarded

Let's not get attached
to vices and objects,
those will end
instead God is eternal

When we lose
something
we shouldn't be angry
but we should think about eternity

As Jesus taught
"follow me
and leave the dead
bury their dead"

That is, let it go
the material
to follow him
in all.

But we have the Lord
he stays with us
if we want it
he does not abandon us

He will judge us
for how we have lived
whoever lives in his name
will be rewarded

We should learn from people
like St. Francis,
he had it all
but he gave up by vocation

If we dedicate ourselves
totally to God
life will be more beautiful
and less painful

Otherwise
if we think only of us
or what we have
it will be eternal damnation

We don't realize
how lucky we are
to be able to praise God
to have received his teachings

Because we have the Lord
he stays with us
if we want it
does not abandon us

He will judge us
for how we have lived
whoever lives in his name
will be rewarded

Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go

Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go

2) MY DARK MAGIC KINGDOM (Perun tribute)
3:36, lyrics:
I see...
my lands through the mantle of the night
I see...
through my nazgûl-eyes

I feel...
the presence of the mistress of unlight
dominate me...
my queen of beautiness and pride
vagrant spectre
through my black magic kingdom
follow forever
the forgotten past...

Shadows disappear
The once a time human kings
Cursed by the mistress of the eternal rings
By the mistress of the eternal rings

I see...
my lands through the mantle of the night
I see...
through my nazgûl-eyes

I feel...
the presence of the mistress of unlight
dominate me...
my queen of beautiness and pride
vagrant spectre
through my black magic kingdom
follow forever
the forgotten past...

Shadows disappear
The once a time human kings
Cursed by the mistress of the eternal rings

My black magic kingdom
In my black magic kingdom
In my black magic kingdom
In my black magic kingdom

3) YOU TORN MY HEART INTO PIECES
5:17, lyrics:
I've put all my hopes in you
I've gave all my love for you
I've opened my heart to you
I'm yours, just yours for life

But you refused my love
evil cruel temptress
You torn my poor heart into pieces
You want just my blood
You...lustful meretrix...
You'll laugh too over my grave.

I've offered you all my time,
all my emotions and a promise for life.
I've passed all my time
thinking about you,
thinking at your smile...

I've offered you all my time,
all my emotions and a promise for life.
I've passed all my time
thinking about you,
thinking at your smile...

I've put all my hopes in you
I've gave you all my love for you
I've opened my heart to you
I'm yours, just yours for life

But you refused my love
evil cruel temptress
You torn my poor heart into pieces
You want just my blood
You...lustful meretrix...
You'll laugh too over my grave.

You torn my poor heart into pieces
You torn my poor heart into pieces
You torn my poor heart into pieces

4) TWILIGHT FALL
3:26, lyrics:
The lights of day are fading,
Slowly disappearing to give their throne to the abyss of the night.
Frozen days of eternal desolation, my joy will rise no more from the lonely skies.
Twilight falls on the path of winter,

The iced leaf are falling from the trees, my wounds hurts me deep inside.
The wolves are hidden in the woods, the mist surrounds every angle.
I cannot see the road so clear, a little pool of blood is on the ground

While twilight fall...
While twilight fall...

The lights of day are fading,
Slowly disappearing to give their throne to the abyss of the night.
Frozen days of eternal desolation, my joy will rise no more from the lonely skies.
Twilight falls on the path of winter,

The iced leaf are falling from the trees, my wounds hurts me deep inside.

(While twilight fall...)
While twilight fall...
(While twilight fall...)
While twilight fall...

5) MY LAST TEARS
5:39, lyrics:
The reddish dark-blood light penetrate the transparent curtains of the window,
Sit down and hear the silence... my last tears.
I will die no more.
The anger is rising from the deep of the soul, I will cry no more.
My last tears from an eternal sea, I will suffer no more,
Abandoned again.

The reddish dark-blood light penetrate the transparent curtains of the window,
Sit down and hear the silence... my last tears.
I will die no more.
The anger is rising from the deep of the soul, I will cry no more.

The reddish dark-blood light penetrate the transparent curtains of the window,
Sit down and hear the silence... my last tears.
I will die no more.
The anger is rising from the deep of the soul, I will cry no more.
My last tears from an eternal sea, I will suffer no more,
Abandoned again.

My last tears...
The reddish dark-blood light penetrate the transparent curtains of the window,
Sit down and hear the silence...
My last tears.
I will die no more.
My last tears.
I will die no more.
The anger is rising from the deep of the soul, I will cry no more.
My last tears from an eternal sea, I will suffer no more,
Abandoned again.

My last tears

The reddish dark-blood light penetrate the transparent curtains of the window,
Sit down and hear the silence...

My last tears

6) AUTUMNAL AIR
3:54, lyrics:
The mountains are full of colours.
I admire them in silence. Meditation about death.

Killing temptations... rotting blood.
Into the forest, the vagrant spectres.
Shamain... the dead are here.
Autumn is the season of mist and death.
Autumn of depression.

Sadness is the only sensation which I could feel now.
Everything is burning, red hate in my closed eyes...
Tombstones for the winter.

7) SPLENDOUR OF THE CROSS
4:31, lyrics:
In the name of our Father, we praise Thee oh God.
In the name of the Son, we praise Thee for Your benevolence;

and with the Holy Ghost, we'll live from now without fear.

The splendour of the cross will defeat the evil in men,
The light that shines from it...
... will keep peace in our hearts.
The power of holiness will purify this world.

This is our symbol, sign of the cross,
This is our hope for a better world.

Splendour of the cross
Splendour of the cross
Splendour of the cross

8) ANIMA CHRISTI
2:32, lyrics:
Anima Christi sanctifica me
Corpus Christi salva me
Sanguis Christi inebria me
Aqua lateris Christi lava me
Passio Christi conforta me
O bone Iesu exaudi me
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.

Ne permittas a Te me separari
ad hoste maligno defende me
in hora mortis mea voca me
et iube me venire ad Te
ut cum sanctis tuis laudem Te
in secula seculorum

Amen, amen
Amen

9) DETHRONING LUCIFER
3:21, lyrics:
Mindless people worship him, carrier of the false light,
Master of emptiness and deceit, your freedom is just an illusion,
a death trap for the weak of spirit.

You're falling, Lucifer... the light of God is shining on you.
Burning your flesh, blinding your disciples.

The Lord Jesus Christ will forgive you with His noble compassion
and wisdom.

You will cry sad forever, in the prisons of the underworld.
You will cry sad forever, in the prisons of the underworld.

10) THE FLAME OF HOPE
3:17, lyrics:
In moments of darkness, when everything seems lost,
When the evil threat us from every side,
Where you cannot see outside the veil of the night,
Join your hands and fall on your knees, praying our Lord.

He's watching you, He's close to your heart.
Pray His name, He's always listening to you.
He's watching you, He's close to your heart.
Pray His name, He's listening to you.

He's always ready to help you, and to give you support
In the darkest hour.
When Satan will come, when armageddon will be near,
Jesus Christ will be with you, and the flame of hope
Will protect you forever.

12) SANCTE SPIRITUS
1:25, lyrics:
Veni Sancte Spiritus reple tuorum corda fidelis
et tuiamoris in eis igne accende.
emitte spiritum tuum et creabuntur
et renovabis faciem terrae

Oremus:

Deus, qui corda fidelium
Sancti Spiritus illustratione loquisti:
da nobis in eodem spiritu recta sapere
et de eius semper consolatione gaudere
per Christum Dominum Nostrum

Amen

1) INTRO INTO DEPRESSION
5:00, lyrics:
I feel like I'm stuck. I feel like I'm going insane. I have no idea what to do. Everything weighs down on me so badly. The weight on my shoulders drags them down as much as it drags down my sanity. I'm depressed. I'm sitting here again, wondering when something will move forward in my life. You didn't die for this. You didn't rise from the dead for this. I'm such a sinner. I've lost what self control I once had. And it's not for lack of trying - I've tried to let my desires overtake me, resistant to every nudge you gave me in the right direction. Why? Is sin so innate in me that I fail to fully grasp the implications of redemption? I should think not, since the truth has been made so clear to me, and mankind has no excuse. So why have I worked so hard to get to this point? Am I so resistant to letting go of my desires when I know they lead only to pain and destruction? And I drown. I drown into the thick, melancholic mud of this world, dragging me down in my depressed indifference. The jewels of the world don't shine so brightly when you inspect them closer. From a distance things seem so bright, and sin dims them all. Sin dims them all. Don't let it dim me. The harsh light I shined before was better than what I shine now. All of this knowledge, and for what? What is it worth in a heart and mind so corrupt that a whisper from the devil is enough to mislead me again? I pray Lord triune God, I beg for guidance. I pray, I beg for help. Remove this sin. Cut it out of me. Bring me back to where I was - the words I never thought I'd utter. Realizing truth only to backslide into outwardly comfortable lies. I pray with all the sincerity I had when I prayed in 2009 to lead me away from violence. I pray with all the sincerity I had when I prayed in 2012 to be with me and guide me out of atheism. I pray with all the sincerity I had when I prayed in 2014 to guide me away from my occult beliefs and to protect me from hostile spirits. Am I any better now than I was back then? Hardly. Guide me, God, to where you want me to be. It's been so long. I never want to go back again. My life is going in the exact wrong direction. Turn it around, and help me to accept it. Turn it around, and help me to accept it. Help me give my cares and burdens to you again. Take this seemingly endless burden off my shoulders. Amen.

2) FIX ME
6:37, lyrics:
I remember when it started, it felt like a new day
Every day that goes by now, I feel like I'm in more pain
All the sanity I once had now is leaving my mind
Going from hating the past to longing for what's left be-

I remember when it started, it felt like a new day
Every day that goes by now, I feel like I'm in more pain
All the sanity I once had now is leaving my mind
Going from hating the past to longing for what's left behind

I remember when it started, it felt like a new day
Every day that goes by now, I feel like I'm in more pain
All the sanity I once had now is leaving my mind
Going from hating the past to longing for what's left be-

I remember when it started, it felt like a new day
Every day that goes by now, I feel like I'm in more pain
All the sanity I once had now is leaving my mind
Going from hating the past to longing for what's left behi- i- i- iiiiiind

All the sin that's deep inside, I grow weaker every day
Trying to stand up when all I do is fall and break my legs
All the lust and the wrath in perpetual gluttony
Growing higher to the point I can no longer even see
All the consequences of the things that I know I haven't done
Or the things that I have, they're wrong, every single one
All the peace that I felt is replaced by impatience
Brought on by all the stress that I put upon myself
I have zero restraint, and everything I do shows it
How can I call myself a temple for Your Spirit?
I'm a hypocrite and liar, I no longer want to be
I want to finally fulfill the plans that You made for me
But I know I can't do it, so again to You I pray
Give me a new heart to resist the sin I desire and yet hate
I sit here again confused and broken into pieces, and yet see
That from the shards of my life, You can still make something out of me

3) THE SONG YOU NEVER WANTED ME TO RECORD
7:46, lyrics:
Trapped in a mire of life
Everyone leaves, including You
Pouring the blackness in my soul
I died and You left me there
And it's not for want of trying
I ask for guidance and I still choke
You promise yet I cry alone
Am I in Your kingdom or not?
I feel like I'm failing, I am

I was born in 2014. You rescued me with arms of light and strength. Clothed in Your armor, I found a strength I never knew I had. I rode into battle at once for Your name and glory, and fired off every form of ammunition I had. In 2015, I felt the darkness and asked for Your help. I sank into depression. 2016, I felt utterly lost and asked for answers. You only intervened when I became sick and suicidal. In 2017 I finally found the answers for which I asked in 2016. In 2018 I was ready to stand back up only to be knocked down by grief and loss. And now today, the 11th of March 2019, You do the same again. I believe in You, Your Son, and the Advocate. I can do nothing else, I have seen the truth with my own eyes. But more and more, I feel You don't love me, like this was all a joke. As if it were Your will all along to bring me back down, yet You promise this is not the case. I plead, and don't know what to do. My prayers go unanswered. If you want me, why do you only push me away? I want You. If You want me to spread the Gospel, why do You stop me so many times when I get the chance? Why, Lord?

I don't know what else to say, what else to do
Deep down You know I want to serve You
My feet are slipping into the grave
And You are the only one left who can save
You know I am willing, to sacrifice all
Yet doing the opposite always breaks my fall
You know that I seek You; let me hear Your voice
You know I'm cynical, but don't want that choice
To leave this all behind, to fall in the dark
Where is the light of that first shining spark?
Will sickness and grieving consume all of me?
Or will I step in Your kingdom in love and mercy?

JESUS WEPT

4) COLLAPSE BY THIS SHORE (Interlude)
4:18, instrumental

5) GRAY AUTUMN SKY
8:18, lyrics:
In solitude, I seek You
In the green and red and orange
When the sky is gray with clouds
I walk here seeking You,
Renew my spirit
That has been so long plagued

6) ESCAPE - MY ONLY PASSION
3:35, lyrics:
My world is bitter, stagnant
My inner yearning grows
Escape - my only passion
Tiredness - all I know

See roads left untraveled
See cities, sun, and rain
Dream of somewhere far away
Dream and hope and pray

7) GOD CUTS THROUGH THE FOG
2:29, lyrics:
I'm 23 but feel more like a thousand
Whatever joy I have, depression surrounds it
Every day, watch it fade, everything that I love
Displays the way the earth pervades different from that of above
Living down here, living in fear, living through every year
Giving my words, watch them unheard, in and out of their ears
I have no tribe, I have no clan, I am a stranger in the land
Everything here is foreign to me, guided now only by God's hand
"Aw crap, what's that, you know I don't want that
I don't want to hear about that God stuff again, take it all back"
Too bad, so sad, I don't care anymore
I'm going to speak even if you get bored
I'm going to shriek even if you ignore
I'm going to preach even if you abhor
I'm going to seek a land where we are worth more
More than we can be down here, down here
Full of fallacies to tickle your ears
Logic is nothing compared to a smile
"Let me tell you what you want, stay awhile"
I'm tired now, I don't want to hear that anymore
I want to hear truth, I'm knocking so open the door
I'm praying so pick me back up off the floor
I'm staying, I'm willing, to change to the core
I've lived in the old ways and seen where they lead
I need to flee, I plea to see, the light shining like an ore
If depression is a river, then pick up the oars
If sin is a stumbling block, then stand up and roar
Be more than you ever could be before
Open your eyes, seek the prize,
Eternal life, fight through the strife
Glory in the teachings and grace of the Lord

8) OUTRO
2:06, lyrics:
Yo you know, we been here from the start yeah
Now it's time to go to the heart yeah
Dreams fall apart when you don't feel the part
When the martyrs in charge are the harmers of art yeah,
Run out free, go with me to the sea, then you'll see what I mean
When I be totally isolated from our mandated humanity,
What I say it just may be the way we should stay or it may go away
I don't know I just go with the glow like it go in the evening when it sinks
When you're done see the sun final show of the day
As the plants drink in the sunlight, photosynthesis,
Don't you see whom to fight, it's our nemesis,
It's the demons who are being contradictory in our nature and our life,
What we're feeling when we're sealing our beings in a contract out of strife,
Money can't buy happiness but it sure can buy distraction,
In the end it's all that matters when our God calls us to action,
They still out here saying we can't sin,
When it is precisely what they are doing,
Call us sheep you can keep up your sleep
You're not wolves, you are sheep or you're goats
Who are doing the most doing work against us
We're the pack you can't be and we're back can't you see
We can't hide we are seen with our knees in the green
With our hands to the sky with our faith we can't die with the gospel on the scene,
We was lost in the woods now the cost to do good
Is what we never could, that's the reason we should
Look to Christ, He's the leader of the pack
Superceder in the black
The defeater got our back
The computer's been hacked
Now the lights going out, see the stars, see the clouds,
Now so far, you're in doubt
All you are is your clout
Now the hour to shout
With the power about the Messiah going out to the demons all about.
Were alone but now you are not
Take the hand of the Maker of land
Maker of stars and sun
Maker of everyone
Want a spirit guide? You got one one
Who has died and has risen, His name is Jesus
He always sees us
He guides and teaches
Loves us and preaches,
Put aside your idols, let them die,
The true messiah is beyond the sky
Mankind will fail you one day, so will I
But I'm just a servant, I'm not the main guy,
So if you're a loner like me you're a nomad
Made of disgrace is the world that is so bad
Nowhere left in this world that is so sad
Take His hand
He is your heavenly dad, a parent that the world could never be,
A friend to the end that you cannot see,
But you feel and you hear and you know you're not alone,
Jesus Christ finally gave folks like us a home.

SATAN DESTROYER - OV DAMNATION lyrics

1) THE LAST CHAPTER
5:06, lyrics:
Fire rains down
A fainted moon and a blood red sky
Darkness surrounding
As bodies lie in the pit of Hell
The burning of chaff
Swept away by the tides and currents
Only to submerge
Twilight around the chasm
A beam ray of light
twisting through the sequine needle
As God throws the prophets
To the devils' dyke brazen with brimstone
Only to profundis
Against the whipping of tails
Covered up with dirt
The gravens of condemnation

2) GORGOROTH
7:50, lyrics:
Behead O' that monster
That Gorgoroth
That hydra of whisping tongue
O' behead that monster Gorgon
Thou needest slayn indeed
Wretched are the water that floweth forth
So let thy needle cast thy canopy
In light of ill-atrophy
Let damnation be damned to hell
For it's a pit with burning coals
Let his furnace light a pathway
And let no blood be laid to rest
Beheadest thine Gorgon
And let no man be in contempt a fool
Behead O' that monster
That Gorgoroth
That hydra of whisphing tongue
O behead that monster Gorgon
Thou needest slayn indeed

3) OV DAMNATION
3:52, lyrics:
Ov damnation
And a darkness of light
Inside a cathedral of ashen salt
Amongst the headstones
There is only but one aperture
One holy steple
Driven to the ashen heap
In this survival
We find nothing frail
To find nothing
Only an reminiscent
Ov damnation and a bitter end
Ove damnation
World crumbled to soil

4) EVANGELIST (Interlude)
3:19, instrumental

5) II
3:59, lyrics:
Reign of fire
Reign down with fury
A billion aeon
The serpent's reign
Cast down your holy fury
Condemn all who shall perish
Condemn them the fiery sun
Releases the beasts from the deep
To destroy the blockades
And announce the arrival of Jesus' empire
And turn pillar to salt
So we the chosen ones
outlast the pinnacle and the tower
Especially on that day of judgement
Especially on that day

Up from the ground
A legion of demons spread out
To devour the nations
And send them to the fires of Hell
The destruction of masses
The destruction of the holy temple
End the destruction of billions
As Jesus rises from the clouds

6) THE ADVENT OF PENTACOSTE
3:30, lyrics:
Advent of a new day
A spirit born
Rising from the ashes
Of disciples' hands
A rising oblivion
In subtlety

Advent of a new dawn
Where firth and grain meet
Against the crosses of Golgotha
Where Satan is demolished
To the outer realm
And the hunger of the abyss reaches girth

There's glory in the noonday
As vipers are laid to rest
A spirit beneath them
Driving them towards darkness
And as darkness perishes
Darkness descends

7) SET UPON A MOUNTED PILLAR
4:04, lyrics:
Crowds clamor
Around the steple
A great multitude approaches
For the crown of judgement is here

Millions beg upon the headdress
As the pages of the books are opened
And the seal of the almighty is brought to tribunal
Till then, no one shall rest

Set upon an mounted pillar
There was only damnation
Justice must be served
For there are the righteous and the poor

8) LAST RITES
3:41, lyrics:
Rites of a sacred kind
A kind which worship an almighty Creator
They bask inside there sewn
To reap what is begotten
Reaping what is sewn
Sewn to the earth and sky
A sky which has fallen to dusk
A sun darkened to ashes
A moon riveted in blood
Blot out the Sun
Cross out my eyes
For they are blind to reason
There's a reason for being
There's a reason for life and death
So destroy your trinket idols
And graven thy soul before the dusk
These are the last rites
Rites of a sacred temple

About Us / TOS

1) lol who are you loser¿

Nocturnal Iridescence. From Unblack Archives and from several projects like Bozkath, Darkness Cleansed, Coldrealm, etc. I'm currently the only person involved in this label, though of course most of the credit goes to God - a living being, but one I would never call a mere "person".

2) What do artists get out of signing to you?

I put your music on the APP Bandcamp page, and release it on CD-R, unless you say otherwise. (For example, I'll soon be releasing some music for free download, without CD-R versions, as per an artist's request.) All profits made from your releases will be split 50/50 after Kunaki and Bandcamp take out their fees. So let's say that "APP" makes $5 USD from an album sale. Let's assume the Bandcamp fee would be $0.50 just for example. That would leave $4.50. You would get $2.25 and APP would get $2.25. YOU NEED PAYPAL FOR THIS. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF PAYING YOU. When submitting artwork, please keep in mind that Kunaki only has single-panel inserts, NO BOOKLETS, and has specific sizes and dimensions required for album artwork. You can look at those [here]. If you can't design artwork or a band logo, I can theoretically design it for you, but that means your music will take longer to get released. I won't ask you to pay for it, but you will be required to wait, and considering "life stuff", that might take an additional month. Possibly even longer than that. There's no real time limit. So then, I very strongly encourage you to make your own artwork. Also, I offer free remastering services for your audio. Again, I very strongly encourage you to do this yourself, but in a pinch, I can help a little bit. Also, you obviously agree to give APP the rights to use music you send over, but these "rights" will only be enforced for the purposes of releasing your music, and keeping it safe from copyright infringement. You also retain rights, so if you decide to remove the music someday, just send another email, and I'll remove it for you. Or if you want to release your music on another label too, you can do that. I'm not picky. Technically, APP reserves the right to decline any music submissions for any reason, and also the right to delete music and drop artists for any reason, but this is just to protect myself, basically. I started this label to specifically help support the unblack scene because I care about it and want it to grow -- you'd have to do something EXTREMELY WEIRD for me to drop you from the label.

3) How do I get signed to your label?

My email is imperialkodnarok(AT)gmail(DOT)com. Send me the files and just tell me somehow that you're sending me the music *for the purpose of having it released on Annihilated Pentagram*, AND you agree to the terms described in question #2 above. Also, in your email, include the "password" listed elsewhere on this page, so I know you read everything. I will ignore emails that don't have the password. Note that APP is a Christian label so I'm only taking Christian releases. So then, occultists, "I tolerate Christians", "I'm a XYZ but my beliefs are influenced by Christianity" etc need not apply. And APP is focused on extreme/underground music so, unblack metal, death/black, dark ambient, noise, things like that. I'm a sarcastic, jaded, bitter person, believe me, you don't want to release your adult contemporary pop soft rock albums through Annihilated Pentagram Productions. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHTS TO USE EVERYTHING IN YOUR FILES (ARTWORK, TEXTS, AUDIO SAMPLES, ETC) BEFORE SENDING YOUR FILES TO ME. DON'T TAKE CASTLE PICTURES FROM GOOGLE IMAGES AND SLAP YOUR LOGO ON TOP OF THEM. Just because APP is a very laid-back record label, doesn't mean I want to engage in piracy and art theft. YOU (THE PERSON/BAND SIGNING TO APP) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WORK. If you lie to me, you will be immediately dropped from the label and all your releases will be deleted. On the other hand, if you are a copyright holder, and discover that your art somehow slipped through the cracks and a band used your work without permission, please send an email to imperialkodnarok(AT)gmail(DOT)com and the problem will be resolved very quickly. I'm an artist, too. I don't tolerate art theft.

4) Can you tell me about your amazing record label? I can't wait to read all about its history and stuff!!!

Annihilated Pentagram Productions (APP) is an unblack metal label, and the spiritual successor (metaphorically and literally) to a mostly secular label I ran from like 2012-2013 called Draconian Star Productions. I only released 2 things through it, an EP from when Coldrealm was still a secular project (I only ever sold like 2 or 3 copies and all of them have since been bought/given back and destroyed) and a Christian single (more "sound bits" than "music") from my old project "Of This Night" called "The Storm". Maybe I'll release that single again someday. Anyway, although DSP ended around 2013 (possibly 2014?) I brought permanent closure to that label in 2020 when I released an EP on Kunaki's website (specifically Bozkath - Catacomb EP) using DSP as the label.

Annihilated Pentagram was conceived in 2015 but I decided I didn't feel like doing label stuff at that time. By the way, the pa s sw ord I mentioned in the question above, is nocturnalisacoolguylol. I had the idea to start one again in 2020 and picked up where I left off, which was... basically step one, lol, but anyway. No one else had taken the name so I just used it again. Originally the logo was going to look something more like this, but I decided I wanted something more "square" than "rectangular". I dunno, I kinda like the idea though, maybe I'll refine it and use it for something someday anyway.

The current logo, of course, being:

 

5) What's the meaning behind your label's logo?

The old logo was just a generic idea I had. A simple label "stamp" with a broken pentagram symbol representing the defeat of evil. The current logo has a much deeper story to it.

For my entire life, I've been interested in "spirituality". Some of the first books I read as a young child, of my own accord, were books about ghosts, "sixth senses", etc. I was raised by a... mostly Christian family, but while that had influenced some of my beliefs, I was far from an actual Christian. When I was around 12 years old, I first noticed a part of my right hand print that involved an inverted pentagram / Sigil of Lucifer. Note, I did not add this to my hand. It just appeared there naturally. At the time, I laughed it off. Either it was a silly coincidence, or possibly a sign of dark forces at work in my life, but I didn't think it was too important. As I got older though, and especially as my spirituality grew even darker and more focused on esotericism and occultism, I started to think more about the implications of this overtly evil symbol appearing in my skin. While my faith at that point was quite far from actual Christianity, and arguably even further from Scripture than the faith of most actual Satanists, I was never "a Satanist". I was against "that evil guy" (even though at the end of the day, I was unknowingly serving him through my actions anyway...) so this concerned me a fair bit. I've written other places about God giving a vision to me about Heaven, and my decision to listen to God and seek His wisdom. It took a couple years for me to fully make this transition and for this to turn into an actual "Christian faith", but in 2014, when I was just about 20, it happened, and I fully dropped all remnants of my old beliefs. A few months after this happened, I remembered the sigil on my hand, and noticed that a line had been added, clear through the middle of the sigil. Thus, the line didn't complete the pentagram, but rather, crossed it out. While spiritual and religious skeptics will never be convinced, no matter how much evidence they're presented, it's obvious what happened here. The sigil was added to my hand by the evil forces I was welcoming into my life, and it was crossed out and negated by God when I turned to Him. This symbol is what's in the APP logo. It represents both my own personal experiences, and also the aim of APP to be a voice for the Gospel to secular occultists, pagans/witches, esotericists, and others who are lost in the woods of spirituality like I once was...
