The 4th and final Aketous studio album is set to release 11.11.2026!
This will not be the last Aketous song, but this will be the final full length Aketous studio album.
The upcoming album titled GOLD will feature the current Aketous single Alice Cooper along with 14 additional NEW tracks.
Every one of these tracks at one point was my favorite song that I had written. I will never release a song that doesn’t make me feel anxious to present it to the world.
I hope your enjoy GOLD as much as I enjoyed writing it. I will continue to release individual tracks under Aketous the band, but I really feel like as far as the concept of how I put together albums under Aketous is at it’s high point. To quote myself, “It’s a graceful exit.”
I timed the release to come out 24 hours before my new solo effort. I’m still keeping the solo album name under wraps, but it will be 17 of the very best songs I have written to date. A press release will follow shortly on that. But be assured GOLD will be like the the Aketous Trilogy full of guitars, hooks, and just ALIVE from track 1 to 15.
This album will also contain a special song that I started writing shortly after the passing of my mother. I don’t want to say it’s about my mom. But the sorrow and mixed feelings I had lingering from my father’s passing all came together in the melody and chorus. More recently I was able to understand what the song was saying to me through others grief. Life is brief and as you may have noticed, I often start at that place. The understanding that this is our time to make it count as best as we can and are afforded.
Songs like Everything is Now and Round and Round are insanely catchy and make you want to turn up the volume. But there is also a message in there. I hope they bring you joy and comfort. I hope GOLD along with the other 3.5 Aketous albums will touch people long after I am gone.
