Welcome 01:13
"Welcome. I hope your curiosity has been satisfied upon reaching this establishment. If you feel so inclined to come inside, perhaps you will find the answers to your deepest, darkest fears There are four doors which await you Each door represents what dwell in your unconscious mind Influencing your fears and sabotaging your day to day existence There will be great reward which awaits if you shall successfully make it through the end Of course, there will be no punishment if you shall fail…..or will there be? Enter….at your own risk….."

"Door number 1: Appalling visions and ugly illusions A vortex of your vile reflection Endlessly spinning into oblivion Taken aback…spiral into violent confusion"

"Door number 2: Shadows bearing many legs – six or eight A web of opaque mysteries unveiled Continuity undone – fond memories no longer remembered Alone, left debrided and dismembered"

The Cellar 05:32

"Door number 3: Floods abound, skyscraper high Noctambulant, fighting but falling under A series of shadows tread, left to drown None else remains – only water, lightning, and roaring thunder"

"Door number 4: Asymmetrical flames all around Absent of rhythm – yet ferociously dancing The most furious aspect of visual light Abundant while they engulf all within this fiery abyss"

"Congratulations. You’ve made it to the other side. You will be generously rewarded upon your return towards the front entrance Of course, if you ever wish to return, I will still be here….awaiting….patiently…"

about

Four Doors of Your Deepest Fears is a concept album involving a fictional Haunted House which rests at the end of an Amusement Park. Few people dare to tread past the gate into the house. Even fewer have made it through the entire house without running out the way they entered. But all who have entered, whether they’ve made it through to the end or not, were never the same again.

Each door within the Haunted House portrays a reflection of a deepest, darkest fear within the mind of the individual. From vivid imagery which depicts infernos of fire and lava, poisonous insects, vicious storms and floods, or a maze of mirrors reflecting the most unbearable parts of a person’s inner soul, Four Doors of Your Deepest Fears represents the experience, the journey, and the darkest thoughts of one individual who has made it through the house ‘till the very end.

Four Doors of Your Deepest Fears was influenced by Horror and Halloween themed film scores from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s along with Industrial, Dark Ambient, Neoclassical, Atmospheric Metal, and Carnival Music to serve as the musical framework. An array of detuned guitars, ring-modulated synths, haunting reverberated pianos, menacing drum patterns, and bone-chilling samples make up the orchestration of the album. It marks another chapter in Cucurbitophobia’s mission to keep the spirit of Samhain alive and kicking all year round.
