Post Death Soundtrack’s fifth full-length release, IN ALL MY NIGHTMARES I AM ALONE, is a sprawling, unfiltered fever dream—a 30-track odyssey through psychological disintegration, creative resurrection, and raw vulnerability. Conceived by Calgary-based artist Stephen Moore, this collection is equal parts audio journal and exorcism, combining industrial abrasion, gothic introspection, and mournful acoustic textures. Where 2024’s Veil Lifter channeled grunge-doom heaviness, Nightmares pivots wildly into chaotic territory with influences of Nine Inch Nails and Skinny Puppy showing through.. Moore is also a fan of albums like Nirvana’s Incesticide and Jeff Buckley’s Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, and like those albums he has crafted something that is fragmentary and yet those individual pieces add up to a striking, cohesive identity.
Tracks like “A MONOLITH OF ALARMS” and the psychobilly of “FINAL DAYS” erupt with untamed energy, while covers of Nick Drake’s “River Man” and The Velvet Underground’s “Venus in Furs” serve as pensive respites. The album’s emotional core is deeply personal—openly exploring grief and trauma—especially evident in pieces like “WE FALL” and the instrumental “Song for Bonzai.” Moore’s uncompromising approach blends sonic brutality with philosophical lyricism, and IN ALL MY NIGHTMARES I AM ALONE is both an uncomfortable and beautiful testament to an artist’s willingness to explore the dark side of one’s psyche—a rare, blistering document of struggle. It’s frequently not an easy listen, but it’s a deeply rewarding, cathartic one for anyone who has ever gone through anything similar.
