In 2011, "Of Darkest Nights" was born after my desire to release remixes and instrumentals for the world to listen to. Streaming services were non-existent and since I didn't have rights to the remixes I did, I released it all for free. Artists from Linkin Park, Korn, Crosses, Nine Inch Nails, Starset, and many more had remixes that I independently created. By the end of 2023, I had released 12 albums or EPs, all for free and available to listen to for free.

It was in Early 2024, I made the decision to halt releasing anymore remixes as MP3 music slowly started to disappear and streaming becoming the more popular way to listen to music. ODN was starting to hit a very obvious dead end with the musical direction I was going as I didn't have the rights to put my remixes on streaming services without getting in trouble for it.

In the middle of the same year, I decided to take ODN in a new direction, no longer being considered a remixer with an instrumental here and there, but a full blown AI music artist and songwriter. After this change, it was soon announced new music was coming where I put a download for "Crimson Red" as the first preview of the new ODN direction. It wasn't long after the I released my first ever single, "Bleed The Sun." After some positive feedback, I soon released the "Guide To Murder" and "Sink Low" EPs.

My first album, "Bleed The Sun," was released on January 17th, 2025.

After the service I used to create BTS seized to essentially exist, I panicked, thinking I was done soon after I had already started. Thankfully, I found a new service with a lot of more freedom and control and began work on album #2 that end up becoming "Of Unknown Origins." This release saw the release of the "Misery Queen," "The Grave You Dig," and "Echoes" EPs.

The second album "Of Unknown Origin" will be released on May 9th, 2025.

A companion and experimental release of the "Of Unknown Origins" album called "Quiet Origins" was released June 13th, 2025. The release saw a different side 7 tracks from the "Of Unknown Origins" album, all in their own acoustic form. It also featured an acoustic version of a previous non-album track "From Here To There."

In July 2025, it was announced that work on album #3, under the working title "Eons," had begun and soon after "Better Days" was released. In August, an EP for the song "When You Fall" featuring Eni Lada was also released. It was after this that album #3 would be called "The Darkened Path Ahead," and would be looking to be released in December 5th, 2025.
