Answers for recent claims/questions/concerns/emails:

While there are overall concepts behind The Haunting Presence lyrics and noise, there are no overall concepts for the releases up to this point - thus the reason for each output up to this point being known as either 'self titled' or 'untitled'. Each song is merely a story or representation of the manifested energy known as The Haunting Presence. I don't mind if the lack of title behind each release has caused some kind of confusion, those who own physical copies are able to tell each release apart by the artwork and tracks.

The vocal intro was an original idea, and first introduced back in May 2011 with The Omnipresence of Uncontrolled Darkness... Anyone who decides to do this after the fact is beyond my control. The purpose behind this was for INTENSITY and to eliminate a count at the beginning (stick/snare/hi-hat counts etc.). Trust me, the album will be overwhelmed with this madness.

The Haunting Presence does not represent any circle or group. The Haunting Presence is another solo project of mine just like Nocturnal Blood (THP is merely an extension of the only style of metal I have ever had interest in creating/performing). While I am affiliated with Crepusculo Negro (aka Black Twilight Circle) bands/members, I'd rather not be tossed under some group or category. At this point I've been overshadowed by this, at times it's disappointing. There of course is no bad blood, I have much respect for all the artists behind the Black Twilight Circle - their artistic output and musicianship is beyond words... I respect their individuality just as much as my own, but I do not create to represent anyone else but myself. I can definitely say my work is dedicated to those who suffer from psychosis.

There are many releases and ideas coming from my end that I cannot wait to share with all of those who have interest in my artistic output, madness, lust, and hate...

I've been working on metal since I was 15 years of age (which was not that fucking long ago) - words cannot describe how much I appreciate those who have hated or appreciated my work since the beginning, as well as all the recent supporters of my artistic confusion in the form of audial terror.

Praise reality...
