The Cultist (Official Instrumental)

I started this piece when I was 19 years old and it was never used in my former project. It's fitting for my current style and has been repurposed as an "Instrumental" for the album.

Stalin Knows

This song was written for my best friend. I ask him "what should I write today?" He replies with "Something that I can kill zombies to on Cod, that gets me excited like 115" Say less brother. Here it is.
"The Dravend" is a 1-man metal project hailing from the mid-west of the United States. Khris Dravend started playing guitar at 17 & came from a long line of musicians. His Great Great Grandfather Sindo Garay was one of the 4 musicians that created "Trova", a form of spanish music of Cuban origin. You can find information him here at this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindo_Garay Music runs really deep in the family blood and Khris is 100 percent self taught. Musically and as a producer. Though he can not read or write sheet music, he does have an understanding for the sound of it all. Composing full Symphonies, Orchestras creating fleshed out albums by himself. From recording the guitars & programing all the other instruments(Drums, Bass, Violin, Keyboards, Orchestra). To add, armature sound engineer/producer.
