Eternal Grim Studio

Overview

Eternal Grim Studio is a YouTube channel of original, AI-generated music for Trench Crusade, a newly popular grimdark tabletop miniatures game (WWI trench warfare meets crusader-era religious horror). It's a personal project, built as a second, purpose-built pipeline on top of what I learned building Orfey Sound Alchemy, my first agentic music channel.

Where Orfey remixes existing folk recordings, this channel composes original faction and location themes from Trench Crusade's lore. A content-planning skill pulls faction and location details from a Notion lore database I maintain, then generates Suno prompts and a visual brief from that lore. A music-creation skill sends TC-specific prompts to Suno and picks the best generation. A thumbnail/visual skill produces grimdark, desaturated cover art matching the game's aesthetic. Video assembly and final publishing follow the same YouTube Data API-based scheduling approach as Orfey, with its own channel-specific metadata templates (faction tags, playlist organisation by faction).

Stack: the Suno API (V5 model) for music generation, a Notion database as the structured lore source, Claude for prompt generation from that lore, image generation for thumbnails, and the YouTube Data API v3 for scheduled publishing, all orchestrated through chained Claude Skills, the same architecture as Orfey Sound Alchemy, adapted for an original-composition workflow instead of a remix workflow.
