My attempt at a French version of an unpublished poem, "The Mime's Grand Finale." It seemed apropos.

lyrics

Le Mime's Grand Finale
[French translation of unpublished poem, "The Mime's Grand Finale" -- purchase of the album comes with English lyrics.]

J'ai regardé la chute du mime
Du haut de la Tour Eiffel

Son expression sombre

Comme il pawed à sa prison de l'air
Et a couru contre le vent

jusqu'au bout

Son éclat bruyant
Rompu avec la tradition

Avant que ses bras se tordissent aux coudes

Comme s'il nageait
Dans la flaque même qu'il est devenu

jusqu'au bout

about

Michael Arnzen Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Winner of four Bram Stoker Awards in horror fiction & poetry.

"Arnzen doesn’t just read or recite his stories; he shouts, snarls, whispers and groans his way through (and) adds music to the mix to create an aural landscape of terror like nothing you’ve heard before. Don’t miss this.” -- MicroHorror.com

Behemoth
by Gost

Love the early Gost darksynth -- tracks on this album function like a John Carpenter soundtrack punching you in the back of the head with a velvet-covered sledghammer over and over again. Michael Arnzen
