90% OF US NEED TO DIE

I stumbled across this old OMV on my YT channel the other day, and realised how much I still loved it.

youtu.be/-FshaAkG6Ic

It's not cheery, but then plague-level population leading to destruction of the planetary ecosystem just isn't. 😒

"This Wasn't What I Had In Mind" floated up 1 place to 8th in The Independent Artist Chart on @burtonradio.bsky.social. 😃

😎 If you'd like to keep me flying up there in radio heaven, then VOTING for next week's show is OPEN until end Monday 10th November (GMT): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 🙏

I incorporated a leaf blower recording into the first track on the next album.

Sadly, you'll have to wait to hear the full track, but here's a small appetizer. 😎

YouTube video by The Sanctity Of Crows Propelled By Fear (Into The Unknowable) [The Sanctity Of Crows - official music video]

A video about a cult that requires listening to tSoC music 24x7, bats (well, crows) in the belfry, and an escape into the unfamiliar wilderness via a graveyard.

Not Halloween-specific, but the visual and sonic vibe is well suited. Happy Halloween! 👀👂 Lookee hear: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoaV...

Still in 9th place. 😎 If you'd like to keep me flying up there in radio heaven, then VOTING is OPEN until end Mon 3rd Nov (GMT): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 🙏

​Perfect music for Halloween, this spooky instrumental was released (quite coincidentally) on 31st October 2024.

Just finished mastering the third track for the next album. 😃

Duration now sitting at 11:40.

I suppose I'd better get started on the next one, then? 🙄

YouTube video by The Sanctity Of Crows For Those Departed [The Sanctity Of Crows - official music video]

"For Those Departed" is an instrumental elegy, and yet somehow this YT video flew off the shelves in the early days and was the first to reach 1K streams.

Now, 15 months after release, it's my first music video to break the 2K barrier. 😃

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #09

Didn't want to give away my age, and got tired of waiting for the doublet and hose to come back into fashion.

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #08

Tempted to do the weekly groceries shopping in this outfit, but I bottled out. 😆

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #06

The Marketing Department deemed this one too suggestive and risque. ☹️

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #05

Crows On The Run.

Sadly, this one might have 'triggered' all those people who've spent serious time in the FB slammer. ☹️

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #04

Another tSoC cover art concept that never made it off the drawing board.

I must've been nuts not to use this one.

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #03

Silly season continues, with another tSoC album cover concept that didn't fly. 😏

The Legal Department shot it down in flames ... 😟

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #02

You've got to do SOMETHING creative when procrastination keeps you from music-making. While waiting for musical inspiration to poop on my head, sometimes I create cover art.

Here's another one I didn't think would fly ... 😏

🖼️ REJECTED COVER ART #01

I've mentioned before that I've created a load of cover art for music that doesn't exist yet. 😮 Weird, maybe ... but it inspires me to create the accompanying music.

There are a few that I decided not to go with, however. Here's one ... 😏

🤔 Know what my next release is gonna be?

Nope, me neither. Whatever it is doesn't exist yet. 😬

I really need to get back to work in the music factory ... but, you know what they say: procrastination makes perfect. 😒
