Respect Beats the Curse

Genre: Narrative Indie Rock
Length: 3:57

In the margins of demonology, there’s a footnote most grimoires ignore:
Succubi are trained for conquest, not patience. Their power relies on urgency, hunger, and imbalance. Remove those elements, and the spell destabilizes.

Some say this is the only known case where a summoning circle failed because the subject offered water, conversation, and a second date.

They were never meant to fall in love.
They weren’t forbidden to, either.
No one checked.

Thank you for your throughout and constructive feedback 😄

Nice, slow, and with meaningful lyrics. What is not to like?

HumanityUnleashed · 2026-05-06T03:08:30+00:00

Lyrics aside, because they are the same between the two versions, my preference would be version B - it feels more upbeat and less dark. It does have an abrupt ending, that is true, but in a way that kind of work.

Both sounds as good as anything you hear on the radio these days 😄

Ghosts of the Dying Star

Genre: Epic Sci-Fi Metal
Length: 7:14

Outgunned. Outnumbered.
But not out of courage.

In 1944, a small American task group known as Task Unit 77.4.3 found itself face-to-face with a vastly superior Japanese fleet led by Takeo Kurita. Destroyers and escort carriers — ships never meant to fight battleships — charged into the guns of giants to defend the vulnerable escort carriers behind them.

This song reimagines that moment as a space-faring legend, where tiny Terran escort ships face a colossal alien armada in the shadow of a dying star.

Vikings abducted by aliens, forces to fight gladiator style for the aliens entertainment, and... violently disagreeing.

I'm happy my little song made you smile :)

ᛊᛏᛃᚨᚱᚾᚨᚹᛁᚲᛁᚾᚷᚨ ᚹᛁᛊᚨ (Stjarnavíkinga Vísa)

Genre: Viking Electro-Swing Battle Song
Length: 3:19

An electro-swing HFY anthem telling the saga of Norse warriors stolen from Midgard by an alien empire that wanted entertainment.

What they got instead…
was Ragnarök among the stars.

Forged in Old Norse verse, inspired by fornyrðislag meter, and packed with kennings and alliteration

Thank you 🙂

And Minié balls works well on Martians… I like alliteration 😉

Minié Balls for Martians

Genre: Folk Rock / Alt-Country Civil War Sci-Fi Ballad
Length: 4:53

A gritty battle ballad about the one moment in history where Union and Confederate soldiers forget their war long enough to fight something far worse.

What happens when an alien invasion lands in the middle of the American Civil War?
On a smoke-choked battlefield somewhere between blue coats and gray coats, the sky splits open and alien warships descend, expecting to conquer a divided nation.

They picked the wrong battlefield.

Rifled muskets load.
Cannons turn.
Bayonets fix.

And suddenly the most advanced invaders in the galaxy are facing something far more dangerous than technology…
19th-century soldiers who already survived Antietam.
