about

This single could be considered as "musical fan fiction".

I remember the first time I heard "Death or Glory" by Running Wild as a kid. The opener "Riding the Storm" simply blew me away. To this day, it's one of my absolute favorite songs, not just by Running Wild or in the heavy metal genre, but ever.
The influence on this song is pretty obvious, but if you listen closely, there's also a homage to the score of the first Monkey Island adventure.
This one, I recorded with a Fender G-Dec 3-30 and the Ableton Lite version that came with the amp.

The "B-side" is a song I wrote on request. My wife challenged me to try something with an accordion on it. This is what came out of it. Let it take you to some faraway places.
