Ghost Mountain

Southern blues rock anthem with the bluegrass flavor of Appalachia. The journey begins with a Celtic percussive groove followed by a bluesy searing slide guitar theme with a heavy classic rock inspired riff. The bridge takes you to the heart of Appalachia followed by a heavy recap to complete the journey.

Forgotten Trail

A powerful Spaghetti Western inspired theme that combines rootsy and contemporary elements. Picture a lone rider on the dusty high plains that is sure to leave danger in his wake. The theme grows in intensity until it reaches a heavy transition riff. The bridge is a breakdown and a change of texture followed by the return of the heavy riff to end with a bang.
