This is the ninth full length album. Appalachian Winter reverted to being a solo project with this effort. This release also marks the ability of Wilt Hollow Workhouse Studio (this project’s home) to use MIDI replacement. This album also marks the beginning of my attention to EQ, and how to fit mixes together sonically with methods other than presence and panning.  While I’m proud of the music, the mixes sound flat to me now. I’m working hard to address that with newer efforts. It truly is a lifelong effort to become proficient with something.

This is the eighth full-length album. It is the second album so far to feature two more members aside from D.G. Klyne, with Randy Smith handling guitars exclusively and Mike O’Brien doing MIDI replacements for choir part of the orchestration.

This day marks my release of the single “Bring Me Victory.” This is a cover of Melankolia’s original track, which can be found here.

This is the sixth full album and it’s the first to feature Randy Smith on Guitars and Mike O’Brien with MIDI Choirs, both full-time. This is also the album where I made the painful realization that if I quintupled my grim vocals, they would come out as an Earth-shattering howl. I’ve been doing my grims that way ever since.

This EP, released in 2013, was recorded between the second and third albums.

This is a split album with Draumar, originally released as an LP.

Stream Draumar’s side of the split here. I would never be so presumptuous as to offer his tracks for free download unless he were to specifically ask me to do so.

This is the fifth full album. It is also the first album to be physically released by Nine Gates Records. “Keystone” features Randy Smith on guitars and Andy Heib (Draumar) on drums, also marking the first time people who aren’t me played on an AW track.
