This is a page for projects of mine with little to no metal influence.

REAWAKEN THE CONGREGATION
GENRE: Electronic/Dubstep/Noise
STATUS: Changed name
(Active under new name, Bozkath)
LOCATION: Unknown (early), USA (now)
Years active:
2013 - 2014 Reawaken the Congregation
2015 Reawaken the Congregation
2015 - present Bozkath
I released the first two things after the project had ended, in early 2015. Later in the year though, I decided to start it up again. However, after deciding the name "Reawaken the Congregation" was too "new-age" for my comfort, I decided to change the name, settling on Bozkath (a city in ancient Israel). I eventually changed the style of music, too. Future experimental/electronic stuff like this will instead be released under my experimental project Look Above You at the Sky.

Reawaken the Congregation (single, 22 January, 2015, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
The original photograph was taken by somebody else (can't remember who). It was edited, and the song was made, in late 2013. Most of my pre-2014 stuff was too "dark" for my comfort, so I deleted/destroyed most of it, but this song was acceptable, imo.
The song was created using loops in Soundation - check it out!
1) Reawaken the Congregation 6:08
Random Demo (demo, 22 January, 2015, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
I'm not sure when these songs were written/recorded.
Track 1 was made in Audacity.
Track 2 was made using the Dubstep Cube -- released for free download, as per their terms of service.
1) Intro 00:12
2) Standing Up to Hedonism 4:28
Peace Told through Electronic Noise (EP, 20 September, 2015, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
Made in Audacity.
An EP meant to demonstrate (through admittedly loud, somewhat ear-piercing sounds) the peace God has given me, replacing the darkness that used to be in my life, with things that do not harm my spirit.
1) God Watches over These Woods Too 1:49
2) John 16:33, Matthew 11:28-30 2:08
3) That Wind Still Rushes Through Today 1:10
4) Sounds Kind of Like Voices, Doesn't It? That Was Intentional. 1:57
5) Safety Around You Tonight 1:05
6) I Put an Extra Filter on Track 5 and This Is What Happened. Enjoy. 1:05

MY OBSERVATORY
BAND NAME: My Observatory
GENRE: Experimental / Field Recordings / Harsh Noise
STATUS: Active
Formed in April 2019.
The idea of this project is to portray a middle-ground between nature and civilization -- structures like old bridges that are man-made but reside outside of any cities or towns; the side of the road where plants grow, but man-made debris is also strewn about; a solitary hilltop at night where one can see city lights far off in the distance; even just watching things happen outside while sitting in your house; the atmosphere of things like this, is what I want to portray with this project. Without nature, one only gets the corrupted ways of mankind, lacking the beauty that lies outside of man's sinful, close-minded ways. However, without civilization, one misses the higher, divine calling written in the hearts of mankind, thus lacking direction and higher purpose. Many of Jesus' teachings were aimed at people who lived in civilized society, but Jesus also spent a lot of time in the wilderness. In ancient Israel, there were prophets who spoke in the cities, but there were also loners living in the desert, teaching whoever was interested in listening to them. I want to portray similar ideas through this project, both because I just find it interesting on an artistic/aesthetic level, and also because I see far too many people who make idols of nature or civilization in their lives (I was VERY guilty of this in the old days...) and I want to reach out to them (being careful, of course, not to inadvertently make another idol of the artistic ideas I'm presenting here, merely replacing one idol with another, but rather using these ideas as a tool to reflect the teachings of the Holy Trinity.)

The same song in two different versions. The first one is mixed/mastered to be noise-oriented, while the second one is mixed/mastered to be oriented toward ambience and field recordings.
Made both as an offering to God, and as a tribute to Frostnoise, a project that has inspired and helped me a lot. The cover art (including "logo") is based on that project's art style.
1) (Noise Version) Blistering Freezing Ocean Winter 45:00

JESUSWORD
BAND NAME: Jesusword
GENRE: Drone / Ambient / Dungeon Synth
STATUS: Active
Formed in late September, 2019.
The name is a combination of the words "Jesus" and "sword", a reference to Matthew 10:34.
This music stands on Christian principles, and stands in moral opposition to all occult "secret societies", many of which attempt to misuse symbolism, terminology, practices etc that rightfully belong to Christ, in order to give themselves a faux impression of divinity.

GENRE: Harsh Noise Wall / HNW

Formed in April 2020.
"Thematically focused on portraying Christianity through the less 'pleasant' aspects of nature. It's easy to talk about our Lord when looking at a mountain, or a lush forest, a powerful bird flying... but the world God created also has very 'mundane' things like thorny plants, underbrush, bugs, fallen trees, moss, and so on. All of this is God's creation as well, and although it may not inspire us artistically nearly as often as other things, they are all equally 'good' on a conceptual level, as mountains or lush forests."

This was actually conceived as a metal project, something like [End] but with more thrash. I forget when exactly; somewhere around 2018. I was planning a release with 4 songs. Later, I decided to take those ideas to Goatblood (now Arboth Moab) instead. Later still, I wanted to start another harsh noise project, so I used this project for that.
All songs are instrumental.

While Christian, this project is NOT intended for Christians. It's intentionally made to emulate the "dark" / "obscure" feelings of a lot of left-hand music, in order to "speak a language" that those listeners can understand more easily.
Also, the logo above isn't entirely 100% "the logo" for the project. It's still sort of a work in progress.

Before I was saved, my mom had a dream that was something like "6 Six VI" altogether. To the layman this may seem like a random dream that merely happened to have 666 in it, but other life circumstances at the time indicate this was part of something bigger. One example of these other life things would include a pentagram that appeared on my hand. (You can read about that [here]). The idea of this is to "finish the story", so to speak. I am saved now. The evil number Six 6 VI has become a Christian number: Seven 7 VII.
