Apocalypse was born out of a very difficult few months in which I needed something—anything—constructive to do. This album became that lifeline: a raw, unfiltered outlet for grief, rage, confusion, and despair. It’s some of the darkest, most visceral, and aggressive music I’ve ever written.

Loosely programmatic in nature, these soundtrack-style pieces conjure dystopian landscapes and cinematic tension. High-octane tracks like “Extraction,” “Firestorm,” and “Extinction” pulse with adrenaline and chaos. Others—“Abyss,” “Faultline,” and “Fallout”—sink into brooding stillness and unease. “Asteroid” and “The Flood” radiate dread, while “Toxic Rain” drips with menace. And in “Demagogue,” I channel the noise and bravado of hollow nationalism.

Apocalypse gave shape to my inner chaos, something to hold onto. In that way, it was an antidote to despair.
