My 2026 Halloween Album is on its way!

I've uploaded all songs of this instrumental album to my distributor and will be working on the video here shortly.

No AI. Everything is 100% human made

Early access is out now on Patreon. If you've ever considered joining, now would be the best time. You'd be able to listen to this spooky music all season rather than only on the 31st.

The Perfect Your-Mom Joke Does Not Exist

Check out "Your Mother Told Me (bard parody)" on YouTube!

My Mother Told Me by Perly I Lotry, but it's one big your mom joke vicious mockery.
I had a funny idea to make remix the classic Viking song in my usual style of vicious mockery. complete with dry humor, straight faces, and ridiculous lyrics. Now that the Ballad of Betrayal is out, I can work on my other song projects again!

DISCLAIMER: this is for ironic or entertainment only. I am not actually insulting anyone's real mother or suggesting you do so. The comments in this video our made to jokingly insult an imaginary character.

Performed, lyrics written, and edited by Mark Berglin

Had a lot of fun at @midgardvikingfestival 2026!

Verily I say 'twas well worth the venture. 🎶
Perchance only puzzled by the fact I was the only performing musician. 🤔
The future is bright, rain or shine! ☀️
Soon the songs of legend shall be sung here to many more patrons in the coming years 🎵
