Now’s the time for trembling You are not afraid Now’s the time to get up Now’s the time to wake up To fight the endless battle One that can grind to a halt but never be won ... Slide your claws out, take a deep breath For even their mightiest in darkness Cannot do worse than you Bare your fangs and taste their death Open up your soul And let them drown in you Predator Frustration Living repercussion Dweller in deeper than the darkest dark Move quick through ever deeper shade Until you cross over Battle dark stars and silent wraiths Until they go nova Tail betrays an eagerness Over and over Predator Storm incoming The living consequence Creature of the deeper night ...

Twisted. I'm twisting Holding something sacrificed to me Blood drips off my snout, still congealing In the cold When you go in hiding from the night Make sure you leave an offering Blood is not a senseless sacrifice When it’s what keeps you breathing And you might catch a glimpse of me, turning away When you’re naked, set adrift, making no headway … Your fear, your blood, your hate, your impurity All these things could have been made of me Everyone is somebody's monster I can't think of a better one to be When the snow turns red with bits of bone and flesh You'll say what a harsh world this is If they find open wounds in a cage of wire mesh You'll tell them what a nice place this is Strands of sable hair from my tail drift on the air Pluck them, the seventh is my chord I'm writhing across the snow, and I want you to know Guardians of blood and bone are only cast ashore … So when you go in hiding from the night And, light as the winter wind, I'm creeping Your own is not a senseless sacrifice When it’s what keeps you breeding In the cold! What a nice world we live in When you're told who to be by someone else What a harsh world you live in When you sacrifice another for yourself ...

about

A pair of singles which were two of my best-written songs from 2018 but didn't quite fit in with either of the main releases I put out this year.
Living Consequence is an original tribute song to Mick Gordon which perverts some of the same concepts he applied to the Doom (2016) soundtrack and twists them to my own ends. Blood Sacrifice is more loosely inspired by that same game and its earlier incarnations.

Three bonus tracks are included as well: "Over The Edge", "Ritual", and "Dangerous Seeming".

And hey, if it turns out these songs are so much better than I think they are that you want to use one of them in a map pack for Doom, get in touch! I'm sure we can work something out.

about

Vertigo Fox Winnipeg, Manitoba

Vertigo Fox is a band made up of one mysterious, probably catlike creature.
A mysterious creature who, tired of hearing the same themes in music year in and year out, decided to create something altogether stranger.


Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls.
