First snippet for Red Death Robbie. A defected Enforcer Robot is authorized for use - no one is safe.

Second snip of Red Death Robbie, a rogue Enforcerbot activated to level the playing field in a raid gone wrong. Can it fulfill its duty without leaving trails of blood to great for a clean up?

Time I start sharing some #WIP, so why not. Snips from a Short: Red Death Robbie.

"Take your time healing, as long as you want. Nobody else knows what you've been through. How could they know how long it will take to heal you?" -Abertoli.

For me, I criticized and tried to logically rush my own process. A flaw I aim to fix at my own pace. #IAmRonin #QuotesAndAlchemy #StillHere

Und dann heulst du fast beim Training, weil du wieder die Gewichte erhöhen kannst und vor 10 Monaten nicht einmal dein Baby heben durftest. 🥹 #stillhere #fckcancer🖕🏻

I've done both, and at time felt like I had nothing left but the moment itself... And that is the treasure all along. #IAmRonin #QuotesAndAlchemy #StillHere #outcasts #deepthought

포레스텔라 배두훈, ‘불후의 명곡’서 정규 4집 타이틀곡 첫 선 #포레스텔라 #불후의명곡 #배두훈 #THELEGACY #Armageddon #Etude #StillHere #NellaNotte 그룹 포레스텔라(Forestella)가 방송을 통해 정규 4집의 타이틀곡 일부를 먼저 들려주며 시선을 모았다. 포레스텔라는 더블 타이틀로 준비한 새 앨범 가운데 한 곡을 ‘불후의 명곡’ 무대 직전 토크에서 선보이며 활동 흐름을 자연스럽게 연결했다. 포레스텔라(배두훈, 강형호, 조민규, 고우림)는 지난 14일 방송된 KBS 2TV ‘불후의 명곡’이 마련한 ‘故 김광석 30주기 추모 특집 1부’에 출연했다. 이 자리에서 멤버들은 고 김광석의 노래로 이 방송에서 우승을 차지했던 경험을 떠올리며 당시 무대 비하인드를 함께 전했다. 포레스텔라, 故 김광석 추모 특집에서 우정 회상하며 ‘이등병의 편지’ 비하인드 전해. 당시 공연에서는 배두훈이 함께하지 못해 강형호, 조민규, 고우림 세 사람이 ‘이등병의 편지’ 무대를 꾸몄던 상황이 다시 언급됐다. 고우림은 “두훈 형이 함께하지는 못했지만 ‘이등병의 편지’ 무대를 위해 고생을 많이 해주고 사랑을 보내줬다. 그 과정에서 눈물을 흘렸다”고 말하며, 무대를 준비하던 시기의 감정과 멤버들 사이의 응원을 설명했다. 이 같은 언급을 통해 포레스텔라는 팀 내에서 쌓아 온 신뢰와 우정을 드러냈다. 무대를 함께하지 못한 상황에서도 배두훈이 보낸 지원과 정성이 있었다는 고우림의 설명은, 이전 우승 무대를 돌아보는 과정에서 자연스럽게 멤버 간 관계를 짚어 보는 대목이 됐다. 과거 무대를 이야기한 뒤에는 본격적인 새 앨범 소식이 전해졌다. 포레스텔라는 4년 만에 선보이는 정규 4집 ‘THE LEGACY(더 레거시)’를 준비 중이라고 소개했고, 이번 프로젝트에 더블 타이틀곡 구성을 택했다고 밝혔다. 조민규는 정규 4집을 언급하며 “타이틀곡 한 소절을 ‘불후의 명곡’에서 최초로 공개하겠다”고 말해 현장 분위기를 전환했다. 이어 배두훈이 타이틀곡 ‘Armageddon(아마겟돈)’을 라이브로 소화해, 신곡의 일부를 먼저 들려주는 방식으로 시청자에게 새 앨범의 방향을 먼저 알렸다. 이번에 선보인 ‘Armageddon’은 정규 4집 ‘THE LEGACY’의 더블 타이틀곡 가운데 한 곡이다. 포레스텔라는 방송에서 이 곡의 한 소절을 선택해 보여주며, 정식 발매 이전 단계에서 곡의 색채를 미리 드러내는 데 집중했다. 포레스텔라는 이미 같은 정규 4집에 수록될 또 다른 더블 타이틀곡 ‘Etude(에튀드)’를 포함해 ‘Still Here(스틸 히어)’, ‘Nella Notte(넬라 노테)’를 먼저 선보였다. 선공개 곡들을 순차적으로 내놓으면서, 정규 앨범 전체에 대한 기대와 궁금증을 함께 키우고 있는 상황이다. 음원 작업과 더불어 공연 활동도 병행해 왔다. 포레스텔라는 ‘THE LEGACY’라는 이름을 내건 단독 콘서트 전국투어를 서울, 대구, 부산에서 진행했고, 이 투어를 성황리에 마무리하며 새 정규 4집과 연결되는 공연 흐름을 만들었다. 포레스텔라의 정규 4집 ‘THE LEGACY’는 오는 4월 중 발매될 예정이다.

If you could rewrite one part of your childhood, what would it be? Funny how the moments we wish we could erase are often the ones that shaped the best parts of us.

Some notes for my own journey going forward.

Two elements must therefore be rooted out once for all, the fear of future suffering, and the recollection of past suffering; since the latter no longer concerns me, and the former concerns me not yet. -Seneca.

Save Someone was originally made right after I escaped a traumatic event, while the metaphorical and literal wounds were fresh. If you can relate to this, or if you want to sympathize, this song is for you. #metal #gothic #trauma #stillhere #stillhealing #traumahealing

Never paint your picture with someone else's colors (thoughts, emotions, standards). We are works of art and when our painting has their colors on it, they don't glow as bright and often run when it storms.

"Every step is on the path."
-Lao Tzu.

Even if the path itself is scenic and wayward. Sometimes the best leg of the journey is the one that doesn't follow a particular course or guidance. Your own heart acts as the compass. #IAmRonin #QuotesAndAlchemy #StillHere #outcasts #walking #deepthought

What?...

"Know your worth, even if others don't."

More than dollars, and greater than breaths. I am here. I exist without permission to be. I exist to create, express and in my own way, to be free.

Choked By Uncertainty and Guilt (And I want to Fight Back!) A collection of reflective writings for the outcasts; for those that feel they don't fit into the world. #IAmRonin #Outcasts #StillHere

Good morning Yall. I was heavy in the chest when I wrote this and I'm finding my way through it. Truth is... I'd been choked by uncertainty and guilt for a long time.

Living With Heart Failure And An AICD In 2007, a routine heart procedure turned into a life-changing diagnosis: heart failure.

In 2007, a routine heart procedure became heart failure. Nineteen years later, I’m still here—living with sarcoidosis and an AICD, knowing my heartbeat may rely on metal and code. Miracle, nuisance, survival.
