Vision Lunar – Lunar Sky

I had my mind set on doing something special with the Lunar schedule. The moon had been very important to me in my past creations, being part of the first Throne of Mortality lyrics I ever wrote, and now having its own project. In mid October I started working on a new Lunar song, and …

The Becoming

In the depths of the night Visions of you will come Will I run away and hide Or shall I go on to strive The will is stronger And the furry gets bigger Take my throat with fear At any moment you come near Awaiting for the moment to be Until for you, again I …

La Dernière Nuit

Trancher la soie pour la peine Le ruisseau coulera du drain Invité de la morte divinité Un bain de soi a chagrin L’éternité se fait Pour arrivé la fatalité Les regrets, les amours Enfin pour se jours Du haut d’une bâtisse de bois La lame se fait pesante La salive, une dernière tournée L’air une …

L'envie

Dans chaque soirée sans lune Les vers ressortent et prennent l’avantage Les créatures mortes souffrent de chagrin Mais la pleine lune reviendra bientôt J’ai souvent pensé a la mort En ses temps lugubre Quelle sagesse apporterait-elle Pour les douleurs reconnus Les yeux si pesant se soir Que l’orage inondera le sang qui coule Je n’ai …

Melencolia, I

I feel the burn inside my head Like the screeching sound of my eyes red If you had not come with such hope The darkness would still let me cope I feel your lips I feel your sting But what is it that you could bring A longevity for an unhappy life And a book …

Le Malaise Éternel

This poem has a very funny story. I was working at Van Houtte during the fall 2006. I was getting bored working there and I knew I wouldn’t last much longer. I used to tell my boss every day “If I don’t show up tomorrow, don’t call me, I’m not coming back”. It was a …

Savour In Numb

Bleds of the night Through the twilight of the fight The moon blues the skies And the years of pain go by Tonight one love fades And one soul rests ashamed Take my hand and warm it For no more shall it persist Those eyes that are so bright But what do you see from …

Vision Lunar – Vision Lunar

At the time Triskalyon was brand new, the goal was to get as many bands and projects in as possible. We wanted to have so many different genres within the people involved that I was myself separating everything. I feel like this should have been a continuation of Throne of Mortality. But I was writing …

Vision Solitude – Vision Solitude

Vision Solitude is the mistake band I released in the early stages of Triskalyon. Or perhaps Solitude was right but Soufferance was wrong? What occurred at the time was my passion with Les Legions Noires and wanting to separate every different compositions I made into bands. Solitude was created on October 3rd after hearing the Daniel …

Sinner's Spell

In the skies is where the beauty lies Down on earth is where the sinners perch High up there is where my hearts been speared On the stake is where the love is fake With her spell all angels fell At her eyes all things went by From her remorse my life was torched And …

L’homme Au Cœur Brisé

This was written for Anne-Marie Bouchard. The French version of “Away!”. This one is more elaborate. J’ai mal! J’ai mal! Dit l’homme au cœur brisé. Car se soir tu m’as laissé Quand t’est que reviendra t’elle? Dit-il. Car chaque soir il rêve de sa belle. Toujours je pense a toi. Lui dit-il. Et chaque soir recommence …

Poetry Book by Galerie 2000

While I was working at Van Houtte from August to October 2006 at Palais des Congrès, I started becoming friends with a frequent customer. His name was Pierre-Antoine Tremblay and he used to come get his coffee and food quite often, and more often as we started talking. On a very boring Saturday afternoon when …

Unfinished: Les Canards

I wrote this while living at my grand-mothers’ house in Rosemont, Quebec, Canada. It was written for Anne-Marie Bouchard, and was influenced by the mallard ducks that used to land in our pool back at my parents’ house in Edison, New Jersey, USA. Each fall, the ducks migrating south for the winter would stop in …

Away!

This was written for Anne-Marie Bouchard. The English version of “L’homme Au Cœur Brisé”, however much shorter than the French version. “Away!”, says he. She shall not hurt him again. For a sunburn hurts merely once, But cancer kills a lifetime

Les Amants De Minuit

This was written for Anne-Marie Bouchard. Dans ce reflet d’arc en ciel de la vie Qui ne montre que la paume de la main Pour chaque soir que la lueur vient Les canards se rejoignent ici Je n’ai que passé des soirées Dans cet arbre sombre A me demander pourquoi Les canards sont si enchantés …

Le Vent Qui T’appartient

This was written for Anne-Marie Bouchard. Gloire sur moi Car se soir tu n’es pas là Le vent de ton souffle Vient me décrocher à tout jamais Ton odeur se détient Comme la lueur dans mes yeux Ta chaleur se retient Dans mon cœur sous le feu Je m’ennuies de toi Car chaques soirs je …

The Iris Cover

The way I got over Dylan was when I started talking to Anne-Marie Bouchard (Bilou). I was still living in Edison but I was planning to move back to Montreal to go to cooking school at l’ITHQ. I actually moved to Montreal a week after recording this. We really liked each other and it was …

La Peine De La Nuit

This was written for Anne-Marie Bouchard. A qui la bataille valait l’amour Car ce soir la lune y sera L’affronter plus fort que lui Mais la grandeur du cœur gagnera La faim contre la vie Mais la vie ne compte pas manger Ce petit bout de pain Pour survivre jusqu’à la dénoncer Marchant pour la …

Beauté Divine

La Nuit D’amour

This was written for Dylan Seymour. But I might have been chatting with Anne-Marie at the time on MSN. I remember writing this late at night on my computer while people were out celebrating Independence Day and setting off fireworks.   Les feux d’artifice de cette nuit d’amoureux Ne fait que disparaitre la pauvreté de …

AJH

This was a drawing of Alfred Hitchcock’s own caricature. He used to draw it all the time, and I was quite obsessed with him, so I attempted to draw it too. For a while I even posted it on my wall.

L’autumn/Autumn

This was written for Dylan Seymour. A chaque feuille qui tombe de cet arbre Mon cœur se dépérit Et le vent qui souffle dans cet branches Nous mènent à l’automne — To every leaf that falls from this tree My heart withers And the wind that blows through the branches Brings us to autumn

Sous L’étoile

This was written for Dylan Seymour. Les étoiles brillent dans ce ciel d’été Comme la lune au coucher du soleil La chaleur de l’angoisse monte Et les lucioles sont libérées Le lac qui est si tentant Sous cette lueur d’horizon Mais sache que l’on ne puisse voir Plus loin que son ombre Les arbres ou …

Se Soir De Tempête

This was written for Dylan Seymour. Les éclaires d’une nuit sombre Font mes cicatrices remuer Ma vision de lamentation Et des cries de peur Les sons lourds de la tempête N’aillant que peu de chagrin Rien ne peu faire plus mal Qu’une larme dans les poumons À moins la beauté du cœur Et rien dans …

Nihilism of Love

Sa Voix Dans Ma Tête

Street Metal Forum

I registered the Street Metal Forum domain on March 20th 2006. It was named after the Abigail album “Forever Street Metal Bitch”, which I had recently discovered with Howie Change (Sabbat in Throne of Mortality). He had also gotten me into Mütiilation, and that was the beginning of of Les Legions Noires for me. I …

Radio Show, March 17th 2006

One of my best friend, Tom Nunziata had been attending Rutgers University for a couple of years and had landed a radio show on WRSU 88.7 FM. He was notorious for having done a double night shift just to keep the radio live until a replacement came. He was certainly one of the most musically …

La Lune Est Morte

Silk Winter

-Story Development with Howard (September 2005 – December 2005) “Silk Winter” was a short film script I wrote from September of 2005 to May of 2006, with a quick revival in the first quarter of 2007. It was based on a poem written by Howard Change (Sabbat in Throne of Mortality) of the same name. …

You Will Fucking Die

This song was the first true black metal song I ever wrote. It was in the late summer of 2005. It was originally called “You Will Die” but after a suggestion from Howie, it was extended to “You Will Fucking Die”. This song was re-recorded on almost every Throne of Mortality demo, apart from the …

Throne of Mortality – Demo 2005

This was the first official Throne of Mortality release, and technically the only official one, since everything else only contained demos in my eyes. This was recorded in September of 2005 on a cassette tape when Howard Eichenblatt (Sabbat) and I were jamming in my parents garage. I recall this taking place in late afternoon, because …

I Dream but in the Sea

These were unused Throne of Mortality lyrics written by Howard Eichenblatt (Sabbat) sometime in the late summer of 2005. Your hair washed upon the waves Of the sea and lady I knew That I was dreaming, or dead. Crustacean life has found itself Upon your skin and I swear You never looked as good As at …

Rejection of Pessimism

These were unused Throne of Mortality lyrics written by Howard Eichenblatt (Sabbat) sometime in the late summer of 2005. I scorn the souls that deny My vision of life and death Rejection is an art Of which I am a lord For every place I look I find nothing but the minds And hearts of tedium. …

Throne of Mortality – Summer ’05 Demos

Somewhere behind the lines, something about The Slopin Fairy 7 evolved into Throne of Mortality. Even if there was a big gap of nothing in between, and even some droplets of completely different material. The System of a Down cover band and the Eighteen Visions/Bleeding Through influenced metalcore compositions were somehow fit between these two, but the …

Dracula (My Blood)

I think it was during autumn 2004 that I started becoming obsessed with Dracula. It was mostly an obsession with the Dracula movies, and strictly Dracula, I hated all other vampires. I was watching all the Dracula movies I could find. By the spring of 2005 I was considering myself a Dracula movie expert. I …

The Alfred Hitchcock Presents Forum

Alfred Hitchcock was my favorite director from the time I first saw Vertigo. But back in 2005 it was almost impossible to see episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, unless you had the Book Chanel on TV. Nothing else was airing it, and maybe that channel wasn’t even airing it at that moment. I used to …

The Phases

The phases were something I came up with during the days in Triskalyon. It was a way for me to categorize the changes in mood in the music I was creating, and tragic changes in my life. Even though the names started being used in late 2006, I created phases for the closely nit past experiences of …

An Uncertain Retrospect of Scapegoat

The Scapegoat chronology is very hard to pin down. But on the positive side, everything happened in 2004, there is no doubt about the year. This can be narrowed down further to between April 2004, at it’s earliest, and October 2004, at it’s latest, which itself may be a stretched out period. By February of …

Inhabitable

These lyrics were written by Jon Plungis for our band Scapegoat in the spring and summer of 2004. Wake the ones and rise tonight Rise now and forever From the underworld and Be our soldiers and ministers of darkness Fear nothing, be scared of everything Eternal rest is our savior Living life one day at a time …
