The Devils of Vulture Valley

The Devils of Vulture Valley is the official collaboration between The Grand Myth and the Dinosaur Horror series "Primitive War". I have been a fan of dinosaurs (like so many others) as long as I can remember. I read Primitive War back in 2020 and found the story incredibly engrossing and the setting so wonderfully unique. I had been following the author, Ethan Pettus, since at least 2022 once I found the Primitive War fan group over on Facebook. This past February I shot a message wondering if he'd want to collaborate. If I'm being honest, I expected nothing besides a "hey thats cool man, no thanks". I'm just some dude making heavy metal on the internet, but Ethan gave me his full support and I don't think I fully grasped what that meant when we first started working together.

Ethan gave me a ton of feedback on every song, the album art options, merch, and so much. He had the idea of featuring Wayne June on every song as a testament to his life and his contribution to the series. He introduced me to people I've been a fan of for a few years now in the online paleo-media space, and it has been overwhelming seeing all the support the Primitive War community has given me for these songs. I don't take for granted how special this small moment is.

Thank you's are in order:

Thanks to Ethan for fully giving me his support, it is unfathomable how life changing this experience has been and I wouldn't have it without his support and his connections.

Thanks to Kevin for listening to every single iteration of each song on this EP and then hopping on to do the voice over for the intro with me. I love you dude.

Thanks to DinoFax, DinoGuy, Artur Bohrer, Emily Stepp, PaleoVoid, Clynche, Johnnie Wallace and anyone else I've missed. All of you supported the project in one way or another, and the fact that you all just hopped in and got on board is so amazing. Its great to go from fan to friends.

Thanks to Emma Plath for the SICK Kaprosuchus artwork for one of the t-shirts and being one of the ultimate homies.

Thanks to Ciaran for taking my very shitty digital drawing and turning it into the absolutely gorgeous artwork that so many people are going to see anytime they want to rip some Primitive War metal.

Big thanks to everyone who grabbed a preorder, it is not lost on me how much faith you put into this project towards a relative nobody.

Another thanks is due to everyone who's waiting in the wings to see if this is worth your time or money. I know both are precious in the times we live in, and I appreciate that I had your attention at all.

Finally, as always, thanks to my amazing wife Leah and Bailey for supporting my asinine and insane endeavors. I would not be making any of the music I'm making now without the full support of my wife who is not a heavy metal fan at all, but is a full on artist in her own right and knows whats required to make this kind of shit happen. She's my biggest supporter.
