So over 6 months after the first update/post I was reminded this blog exists. Off to a fantastic start aren't we?
Basically the last few months have pretty lazy, only 3 new songs done. However more vocals have been recorded by a good friend of mine Gary Duddy. He did vocals on a track called "Blind", turned "silence takes me away" into a duet, and did vocals on "New Day for the Dark" which thanks to the magic of technology somehow deleted half of the vocal takes we have done for it.
However the new tracks have really taken shape and are further redefining the band's sound, bringing more orchestral elements in, having guitars heavier than ever and upping the standard for what get's past the demo stages.
Once again I can also say there are plans to play live (even though this was also said in the last blog, those plans never came into fruitation). This could be a fun challenge as the studio tracks have on average 5 guitar tracks overdubbed, 3 keyboards parts, bass, vocals, backing vocals and drums, and we are bringing this live with 1 guitar, bass, drums and vocals. It will probably take a few practices to work this out, but the songs are being rearranged accordingly and hopefully it will give a rawer heavier live sound.
Also, more radio spots coming up soon.
Thats it for now, enjoy
John
