M.J. was a one man music project of Mike Jacobsen. It was started in 1996, and ended in 2013 when he got married, and thusly the name would have changed.
BIO Of M.J. The "Eras" of M.J. are split up accordingly... The Grunge-Wave Era (1996-1998) Demos - Lanna, Kramer Sound - Think Nirvana meets ZZ Top and The Cars, but with lots of whammy bar abuse The "High School Crush" Era (1998-2000) Demos: Dirty Talk, Sexy Girls Sound - Pomp AOR "radio friendly" rock, similar to Loverboy/Journey/Styx The "Post-Lithium" era (2003-2005) Demos: Monochrome, Icebox, Killing Alabama Sound - Nu-Metal meets New Wave The "Everett Era" (2006-2011) Demos: Agent Blue, EGA Stereo, 8088, M.J., System Shock, Urban Exploitation, Apocalyptic Hockey, Content through Negligence Sound - Finally found my sound, sort of an alt-rock heavy metal hybrid with the occasional New-Wave synth or experimental instrumentation and effects The Last Album (2012-2013) Demos: Back to the Mower Shed Sound - Similar to Everett

Story behind the song
While written in RandyTab for a seven string guitar, and then transposed to a six using a six string tuned down a fifth using heavy flatwound strings, the remake heard here uses an actual 7-string, and captures the actual vibe I was going for at the time. Darkness was one of the last three dark and moody tracks that ends out Monochrome. It's sort of like creeping around in the dark with a heavy case of depression, and not caring weather you impale yourself on something sharp and deadly. While it might sound Emo now, it made sense at the time for deeply personal reasons.
