about

Prologue

The school bell rang. A crowd of colors overshadowed Vixen as an outcast. She didn’t belong among them. The coast called to her as a place where she could breathe. The music of her cassette player offered the only solace left in a gray world. Lost in the songs narrating her melancholy, sundown had quickly approached. Still isolated from the world with the music filling her ears, Vixen hadn’t realized that looming closer toward her was a group of jocks from school. They were drunk with impending doom. Whispers of Vixen clouded the air. They were standing before her. Hesitation overcame Vixen as they pulled the headphones off her ears and grabbed a hold of her.
A cave above the coast was a mouth, ready to eat her alive. She was thrown to the ground within it. The jocks loomed closer. With each step, an unflinching desire burned in their eyes. Vixen lay unclothed with the stars as her only witness. Bruised and bloodied, the jocks clambered for the touch of her flesh against theirs. Nothing could stop them from overtaking her body. The will to live was the only thing that remained in their abandon, as they left celebrating their appeased affliction. Vixen was at her last breath. But just before her sight began to fade, a figure emerged from within the darkness of the cave. There was no telling who it was as the darkness consumed her entirely.
Her heart beat with adrenaline. She slowly regained sight and arose with the rising moon. Two bite marks punctured her neck. Vixen was reborn. Then the memory of the jocks resurfaced. Revenge pulsed through her veins. Enraged with a thirst for blood, she devised a plan to perform a ritual at prom the next night.
Her passive parents allowed her to come and go as she pleased. When she entered to her room it didn’t faze them that she wasn’t the same daughter they knew. Her room was littered with band posters and superstitious charms. She lit candles around her as she sat in the middle of a hand-drawn pentagram, clothed in red.
When prom night came the stage was ready for her while the audience was not. It was too late for them. Already upon standing at the microphone, the jocks threatened her to get off stage. One of them knocked her down, about to make sure she was going to die this time. But a thunder boomed within the crowd. A flash. Then a glowing sphere of lightning appeared, striking those around it. Rising from the center of the crowd was Hector Dvorak. He was a half cyborg who travelled through time. His eyes locked with Vixen’s. He raised his black machete and impaled the jock on stage. Then as he lent his hand to Vixen he said, “the show must go on.”
At once, there was no reluctance to finally pursue what she came there to do. The performance lifted her above the stage. Hector rampaged below. The cafeteria was filled with all those she had despised. No one could escape and the ritual was complete.

Black Goat Part 1
by Dredd

supported by 4 fans who also own “Red and Blue”

As a big fan of Dreddd's gritty dark-synth sound, I can confidently say that we are in for the mother-load this time. This is like nuclear war levels of intense. All the usual satanic energy is present, but it's like there's this intense level of focus and direction now too which makes for a hell of an audio trip. SteveSynth

The sound on thi album has a perfect balance between DT's signature distortion and more melodic synthwave portions. The Chasm and Death by Distortion are favourites of mine. pink3030
