"Life Has A Hateful Undertone." Another appropriately titled EP I bring to you. All of these lyrics were written during rather angry times, bad times, rough times, whatever you want to call them... but it's clearly evident that both myself and Craig Millson (vocalist of my first band, Apolyom) were really fucking pissed off while writing these lyrics. The undertone is centralised around hate, aggression, and people getting their comeuppance!

This EP is the culmination of more unused, unreleased, never played, never particularly shown, worked, re-worked, trashed, dumped, deleted, material dating between 2002 and 2004. All of these songs were written during my time in Apolyom and feature some lyrics by vocalist, Craig Millson and a few riffs by then-Apolyom rhythm guitarist, Mark Jeans. But these songs were, more often than not, deemed as too heavy and left alone. I, then, brought most of these to my next band, MurderWorld but was met with the same distaste for their heavier style so again they were left alone. I consistently toyed with the idea of doing solo stuff during my Apolyom AND MurderWorld days but was always wrapped up in the current band I was in that I just never bothered.

Having downtime during the early months of 2017, a year after the release of my first album "Journey to Nowhere" and prior to the birth of my first born, I spent a few weeks re-programming and re-writing the drum tracks, bass tracks, guitar tracks, solos, and re-imagining the old lyrics while also keeping a lot to the originals. When you listen to a song you've written for over 15 years that's never been used, it doesn't particularly change much but changes enough for you to believe you've something "new."

While every intention was made to track the vocals for this 2nd album under UnAnyOne, I just couldn't find the right time or head space to get them to a state I was happy with. With Morbid Matt of MurderWorld now not doing lead vocals I asked if he would be keen to have some fun with them (similar to our MurderWorld's Sweet Dose of Murder started) and he originally accepted but MW fizzled out again in early 2018 with personal commitments taking premise for everyone and Morbid and I took much needed downtime for life shit... UnAnyOne album #2 lay dormant... again...

I began chatting to Morbid again in early 2019 and asked if he would do the vocals still to which he replied "yeah sure..." and the rest is said and done and here we are!!!

I hope you enjoy these tracks on this 2nd UnAnyOne album.

This definitely closes the "Apolyom" chapter and all old material from that era... Next up will be unused material from the MurderWorld years.
