BLACKENED BLISSFUL BLOOM is a thrilling roller coaster ride of human emotions. Wonderfully raw and heartwrenching; savagely off-beat; joyously inspiring; operatic and theatrical; the lyrics will grip you. From songs about chasing your dreams to tales dipped in sorrow to the emergence of a secret society of vampires, Blackened Blissful Bloom is a tapestry of Acoustic Death Metal Hippie Folk Rock.

Sinister growls, eerie whispers and passionate screams; shredding metal guitar solos intertwined with eloquent, melodic and tasteful licks; riveting double bass drums, playful penetrating percussion fills rocketing at light speed mixed with creative rhythms and solos; and, of course, the ever-present acoustic guitar sound.

Featured instruments on this epic production include: piano, acoustic guitar, violoncello, electric guitar and drums. The album will be about 45 minutes long and will contain 13 tracks.

 

Track 01: The Battle Of Blissful Bloom
This song introduces the album. It is a solo piano and vocal piece. Gently horrifying. Questioning. Ominous.

Track 02: Buzz Off To The Man
Upbeat tune of joyous defiance urging everyone to follow their heart, and not be afraid to make a new start.

Track 03: Veni Vidi Voro
This song begins with an epic drum solo. It is a fantasy tune about a cult of vampires who have been repressed for centuries. They have awakened, are gaining power and are coming to mercilessly feed on the corrupt.

Track 04: Johnny
A sobering song mourning the loss of a young man who took his own life. This is a healing song for those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

Track 05: Go Out And Play
This is the first song King Kohn ever wrote. It is an intoxicatingly playful tune celebrating life, reminding us that life is short and any moment could be our last.

Track 06: Money
Composed for a play, this song is a piano and vocal piece reminding us of how the love of money corrupts and destroys our dreams, our humanity. It is a warning to be ever-cautious of its powerful influence and destructive nature.

Track 07: Charity
An acoustic delight about a girl named Charity, and the act of giving to others a little piece of ourselves to inspire those around us to pursue their dreams.

Track 08: Eva Lucia
This is the daughter of Satan, an artist, who will change the way we look at good and evil rising in all her glorious depravity to inspire the world of blissful black.

Track 09: Dreamlife
A gentle, happy vocal and piano piece about following your dreams and enjoying the hard road you will certainly face. It reminds us that anything worthwhile takes time, hard work, patience and relentless determination. This life is our dreamlife.

Track 10: Living Alone
A terribly happy tune about that feeling of loneliness we all get from time to time; however, it reminds us that many others face this feeling every day in much more tragic ways than us.

Track 11: Prickly Little People
A short, playful, rhythmic song about those people in our lives who, rather than inspire and encourage us to follow our hearts, use verbal razors like jealousy and self-hate to tear us down.

Track 12: Let The Music Out
A grand and humble song that reminds us that music has no rules. It is inside of us all. There is no right. There is no wrong. There are only the songs inside us screaming to escape.

Track 13: The Dying Game
In this free and open song dwells an overt warning: Do not surrender to conformity. Find yourself. Be yourself. You have only this one life, so live it.
