My last song.

First I'd like to apologize for my lack of activity/creativity on ATS. Recently the evil hoards have dragged me into a working realm that keeps me very far from my keyboard and leaves me with hardly enough minutes to type here.

I've wanted to interact with ATS a lot more as of late, but it is impossible to find that sort of free time at the moment.

Since I have nothing of a conspiratorial nature to add...I've decided to place another video on here from my old band. I hope people forgive my lack of "good content" with this meaningless thread, and I also hope a few people don't mind its creation.

With that said-

In a time not too long ago, I performed in a band of many merry men and women who were devoted to spreading joy, misery and mayhem in the form of underground musics.

That band played for almost ten years and touched many lives in that span of time. A kingdom was born and it was called DARKA. Masked individuals ran amok within its sacred halls and we enjoyed each moment like it was the last.

Eventually I left that way of life and grew up (a little), and came to the crossroads of writing my last song for those who cared to hear more. It took me many hours to figure what I should write and finally this song was what came to my pen and ear, ending my years as a underground minstrel.

I understand not many on ATS will care to take a listen, but in efforts to preserve DARKA's great history- I have been uploading all the music of the downriverkillers. And this one is special to me for being the last song this self-proclaimed artist ever wrote.

The song is titled "Me" and stands as is.

Thank you sir! I was hoping someone would enjoy it, after all- it was never released and it has been sitting in a dusty dark corner for a few years now. So thanks for digging it.

Thank you! As for making music, I doubt I'll ever take that adventure any time soon. But if I ever do, I can only hope it will be as fun as it was with that band. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Sorry to hear you are no longer doing music, just as the many songs that preceded, it's very thought evoking. Hope that you are putting you talents to creating meaningful abstracts.

Sif my friend, this is definitely one of your best songs ever and one of the greatest in Darkan history. Though you don't perform anymore, Specter and I still appreciate this song for its meaning and worth. With that said we can't stop listening to it. Know that even though you don't perform with Krazy anymore, there are those of us that try to keep darka , it's ideals, and the faceless alive.
Thank you for everything,
Corey aka BoNeZ

BoNeZ!!!

Thanks man! Aw, makes me smile to see anyone still gives a damn about a small thing attempted by a small group of large hearted folks. Hugs and bugs at ya!

Sif.

Thanks Sif, I do believe drk has had a big impact alot of people. Even today I still make the occasional mask for those who are worthy enough to join the ranks of the faceless. Though with out the downriverkillers, i think many darkans have lost their way. But I know there are still followers who wear their face proud. Just last week i remade House's mask. Anyway good to see you are still alive. Hope you are well
Corey aka BoNeZ

ps. if you want to see the the masks I've made/remade since we last met check out www.facebook.com...

reply to post by cjbonez


I tried to see the Masks you have made for others, but it says content not available right now. I will check back tomorrow. I'm glad you have taken over the craft and you are still the only guy I think is perfectly suited to take my place making them.

I've seen others do good/great work, but I know you follow the style and step by steps that were personally handed down to only you. Till this day you are the only Face maker who knows how I made them and for that reason I am sure your Masks will last the longest through any weather or wear.

As for some losing their way, I hear stories down the river and well...yknow...some people are destined to destroy themselves while others just want to survive and make peace. We all choose who we are.

I've recently been considering throwing an Event...E-9? But I don't know how much support such an idea would get these days...time will tell. I have some crazy ideas for such a night.

As I said, I'll check out your work tomorrow!

All love Kryptic DRK till I die.

Sif

I think that's all the picture of masks I've painted that I have pics of. Thanks again for your faith in my skill. And as for throwing another event, trust me you'd have plenty of support. Jack Beazly had brought up Trying to put a DRK Renunion Summer show together on facebook about a month ago and over a dozen people liked the idea. If an event was planned and the news spread I'm sure there would be many more

reply to post by cjbonez


Wow! Though I have been introduced personally to a few of those faces, there are so many I have not seen until now. Gorgeous work sir, you have been very busy.

Brings a tear to my eye actually...nice stuff.

Also, the last pic, the one with the mouth cut out- what did you use to cut through it? A dremel?

I love each and every one of them. Thanks for posting them here.
