“You have entered the time of nightmares where nothing seems real and all is covered in a pall of dusky sorrow. The fires burn cold in this hellish wasteland that is “Ignis Satanae,” dragging you into the shadow realm.” - Adele Sinnamon, Onyx Music Reviews

“Music this intense and off-the-grid is certainly not for everyone, but for those with hardy hearts and resolute souls, the world of Cucurbitophobia is definitely worth the effort. An amazing and scary journey.” - Dino DiMuro, Pitch Perfect Site

IV was written and recorded in 2024. This is one of the most unnerving sets of material that I've ever composed and recorded. Combining a variety of styles including Darksynth, Avant-Garde, Neolassical, and Post-Industrial, each track on IV flows like a cinematic work within a horror movie or horror themed video game.
Tread into the darkness. Yet proceed with caution, as each of these works will tap into some of the scariest and most uncomfortable places within your unconscious mind.

Inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost and Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy.

Track listing:
1. Ignis Satanae
