“The Forbidden Resort Chronicles” is my third full-length effort, released on January 13th 2025. It is comprised of 7 original songs (all written over the course of a 2 month long hospitalization in early 2024) and 3 covers of classical pieces (including a medley of classic children’s songs) – a total of 10 songs. It is, as I like to describe it, “pure torment and misery in a sparkly suit”. Do with that what you will.

US issue
Due to licensing issues, an alternate issue of this release is available on streaming sites in the United States, Canada, Pakistan, Mexico, and India. It omits all cover songs, and includes “Retrogression – Single Mix” instead, making for an 8 track album. Conveniently, it’s been named the “US issue”, though it’s available in all of the aforementioned countries.
