 ===== Music and Lyrics =====
 The music heavily features Josh's singing voice and improvised guitar strumming accompanied by numerous backing tracks including samples of piano, bass, violin, R&B and rap drum beats, usually at the cost of his arrhythmic strumming, broken up by what could be potentially guitar solos. The sampling often jars badly with the tone Josh is attempting on his guitar, resulting in an incredibly chaotic sound akin to free-form jazz without the consistency of genre.\\
-The lyrics focus heavily on generic gothic topics such as death, destruction, blood, and metal. Unfortunately, due to the sound mixing, it's nearly impossible to actually make out what Josh is saying.
