Post Death Soundtrack, Stephen Moore's forward-thinking project, returns with his fifth full-length album, "IN ALL MY NIGHTMARES I AM ALONE," which has an emotional charge that, as uncomfortable as it is, is thoroughly real. Moore's interests influence the record, from the simple humanity of Nirvana's Loose Incesticide to the eerie space created by Jeff Buckley on his unfinished masterpiece Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. Still, the raw, unvarnished truth and vitality here stand out.
"IN ALL MY NIGHTMARES I AM ALONE" captures a rollercoaster ride of emotions through the harrowing lows of writing 'TREMENS' whilst in the grip of the terrifying Delirium Tremens (15% mortality rate) to instances of grace and fragile beauty that will restore faith in the soul. Ideas that stretch from the very personal to the can't-be-left unsaid are presented and expounded upon with refreshing clarity and honesty and driven by the same fearless approach to articulation that fuelled Kurt Cobain's best work. "IN ALL THESE NIGHTMARES I AM ALONE." This vast 30-track odyssey, clocking in at over 90 minutes, is an epic exploration that defies easy pigeonholing a brutal but stately tribute to the rawness of human experience.
The project from Stephen Moore is raw and a journey into plain life's most brutal truths, the most delicate of times. Based on a shared love of music's ability to stir raw emotion, Post Death Soundtrack is like a church, dedicated to the idols and iconoclasts of sound and society, deconstructing and re-imagining their legacy for a more truthful, more sinister, more implacable age and written, recorded, produced by Post Death Soundtrack. All songs except singles were mixed, mastered, and produced by Post Death (Steve Moore) and Dr. Cappelletrop. All songs except singles were mastered by KRAMER at Noise Miami.

Eclectic, brash, mournful, and brutal, the album is a roller coaster through chaos and lucidity. Standouts such as "Start This Over" and "God's Away on Business" reveal the sense of duality at the record's core, unapologetic frustration tempered by quiet, haunting melodies. But the crater of "IN ALL MY NIGHTMARES I AM ALONE" is where they take us on one hell of a trip. It's not only an album but also a fearless confrontation of the dark and light inside us all.
