about

"Recorded at Soundsream studio's this is the third collection of 'Johnathan Martin' solo recordings."
"Written at a time when things in my personal life were falling apart and there wasn't much hope or help coming from anywhere, and I really felt alone and betrayed.. It looked like there was an end coming, and in fact, I was suicidal many days, even though my mask I put on daily was falsely giving off the impression that everything is just fine.".
"I just did my morning duties of feeding my daughter and taking her to kindergarten, then plugging in my Strat and the songs just flowed , one by one, no writing down notes, and no changing arrangements."
"One day I just called up Paul, asked if I could lay down some guides and we basically did it the same as 'Machete', except, this time the bass would be on Tertius' shoulders, and I was really happy to have his energy on the record, because I missed it on 'Machete', but then again, I did a cool job of the bass tracks back on that one." - Johnathan Martin April 11 2020.

An independent review
Abomination blue 2015

The third solo release by Johnathan Martin is clearly a rock album. Not much acoustic guitars here, except for the title and final track. Johnathan Martin has written 10 original songs for this album and they are mostly hard rockers.
Only a three piece band this time in the form of tertius du Plessis on bass, Paul van der Waal on drums and Johnathan Martin handling all the guitar duties.
There is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics and it's haunting tone is a trademark of Johnathan martins writing.

Its got that 'stab you in the heart' effect when you listen to it. It might even take a few listens to get that feeling, but believe me when it hits, you'll know my meaning and thank me!! enjoy! Johnathan Martin
