Old Wounds ~Möbius Choice~

Old Wounds ~Möbius Choice~ by Aidan Thomas Tobin

Shortly after sunrise, an autumn storm rose above the forest and turned the sky black.

 was considering coming up with a release strategy for this album, but I decided to just put it out there before I gave myself a chance to overthink it. These tracks are raw and unpolished and I really like them. They take a snapshot of myself at this particular point in time. If I waited on this, I'm sure it would take on a different meaning with the original intentions and feelings lost.
