The Creature 03:01
Out of the water The Disease You’re just a creature Lurking on the lies You’re just a creature Healing when you die In the swamp It’s a perfect place for you Taking a step One step at a time to die You’re just a creature Lurking on the lies You’re just a creature Healing when you die When you die!!!!!! solo When you lie When you die Trolling around In your life It all passed by No one will know

We Approach 03:28
Moving closer deep in the night He’s lying there waiting In the dark, it doesn’t seem right The time he’s taking We approach we approach He whispers… come close 2x Fear in all around No grief for this man It's him were taking Nothing left to sear But there’s something in the making Blank nothing to see We approach we approach He whispers… come close 2x

Night Danger 02:25
We’re all living in danger Made secure in an empty jar Ooh ooh We’re all living inside Stay in tune to the horror outside The smell of blood I want some more Laugh at you it’s the final doom Ooh ooh Night Danger A gush of wind sings to me A death ritual Leaves are falling I’ll shut you out and leave you far Ooh ooh Night Danger 2x Laugh at you its their final doom

Raging High 02:21
Yesterday trapped inside Today back to my mind Ooo to my mind No one can tell now Not to cross the line Cause I am raging high I’m raging high Yesterday trapped inside raging in my mind Ooh in my mind No one can tell me that I’m going away Ooh away I’m raging high Yesterday trapped inside lost within my mind Ooh my mind No one can tell me that I’m going away Going to die

Corpse Room 05:04
Disgusting delight Hands in your pocket I hear a sound Shrieking shrieking turn of the light You sit with me I’m ready for you Act like no pleasure But you know you know you’re in for a ride I know it’s a dirty place You want to succumb the taste But you’re never alone In the Corpse Room The tingling starts to tremble Holding a deadly ride Your never alone… in the corpse room Silence becomes A soulless treat Collapsing in motion Lifeless, lifeless scraping the plate I know it’s a dirty place You want to succumb the taste But you’re never alone In the Corpse Room The tingling starts to tremble Holding a deadly ride You’re never alone In the Corpse Room The moment is here Your ain’t got a clue Killing the time you should run Suspense, suspense in your own demise I know it’s a dirty place You want to succumb the taste But you’re never alone In the Corpse Room The tingling starts to tremble Holding a deadly ride You’re never alone In the Corpse Room
9.
The last man sat in a room And heard a knock at his door Shattering fear light up his spine Life is gone A deadly beginning Life is gone A deadly beginning There’s more to life than being alive Incantations in the air Haven’t felt a humanly possession I don’t care Life is gone A deadly beginning Life is gone A deadly beginning There’s more to life than being alive

Never Safe 04:32
Just when you think you are doing it right There is something wrong Walking through the door not Straight through a narrow scope He sees you when your unaware He’s watching every move A dunce about your surroundings A punishment happens in this final hour He will feed, yes, he will eat He’ll eat you up for hours That’s what he does a cannibal mind Disorder and pain begin Don’t run away You're never safe Don’t even hide your going to die You're never safe Gripping you with his grotesque claws Inch by inch they protrude your skin Tearing your soul apart He comes back and leaves with more Taking heads as well That’s what he does a cannibal mind Disorder and pain begins

about

Let's be real: Halloween is—objectively—the best holiday. Still, the last decade or so has left me wanting more from the season's music. While traditional spooky-sounds—the ones featuring creaking staircases, hollow moans, and virgin screams—are great, I've always envisioned a reality where autumn's soundtrack has a bit more flare. I wanted—no, needed—something that got me looking forward to every fall... something rife with detailed Halloween imagery... something that allowed me to escape into my very own Halloween world.

So, in 2016, I established VANIK, which has allowed me to create that very world through sound and rhythm. Our self-titled debut was hailed by listeners as a powerful, high-energy record. Since then, we've released a number of well-received albums, and now, in 2020—a year that feels like a never-ending horror movie—I am ready to release VANIK III.

On October 2, 2020, this most recent album will make its official entrance into the world...
