专辑简介

It took around three years to complete Into Darkness. Three painful, stressful years of pouring my heart and soul into a project I had no idea would become any more than it was - a few random songs... Songs that I wrote as a way to help me cope with a high school break-up. I mean, it sounds a bit cliché, I know, but for the hopeless romantic like me, your first love is hard to let go. After that, life became a living hell of mental stress and confusion, with a side of depression... and trying to talk about things just didn't help at all... so for the next few years writing became my obsession. Whenever I got stressed - I wrote. Whenever I was depressed - I wrote. Whenever I felt pissed off, lied to, beaten down, cheated, used, small, weak, powerless, insignificant, helpless, lifeless... and especially heartbroken..... - I wrote. You might say that music changed my life... and writing this music may have even saved my life in a way... but I know for a fact that creating this album helped me get through a lot of sh*t, and with out it I would definitely not be the person I should be - the man I am today. So believe me when I say that this album is not a joke, or a gimmick, or a demo of a jam session - it's a real full fledged album. Into Darkness is the story of how a love lost can lose a mind and change a life. It tells the tale of a soul in the darkness and how the only way to escape the darkness, is to learn from the past, bury it, and move ahead into the unknown. Because finding the light is a never-ending battle, but life is what you make of it, and fate is how you choose - so think first, and choose wisely. My hope is that this album will change, maybe even save people's lives as it did mine, and that they will go on to do the same for others while rocking out in the process. - I mean, I know I sure did.
