All The Demos Have Been Recorded!

Finally.

After many months of writing, rearranging, getting rid of parts, adding new parts, and a thousand other things, all the songs have been recorded in Demo form. This means that I can finally dedicate myself completely to writing lyrics for them and finding someone to sing them.

Make sure to check them out in the band's Soundcloud Channel.

I have not uploaded the remaining two songs for a couple of reasons.

The first one is that, even though I had a whole week off from work, I had other things to do besides recording. As much as I would like to just be able to dedicate myself to the band, there are other things going on in my life that take up quite a bit of my time.

Second, I had some problems with the recording software. It just flat out refused to work whenever I tried to upload it. Even if I did manage to do so, it would crash whenever I tried to access the VSTi Plugins. It was quite a nightmare because I thought I would not be able to do much of anything anymore. Lucky for me, I got it to work and recorded the tracks for one the the two songs. I plan on recording the second one soon, and the solos will be added later. Hopefully, and if the software doesn't go all crazy again, I should have both tracks uploaded by this coming wednesday.

Once that is taken care of, I'll begin writing the lyrics. I have not been able to find anyone to record them, so I fear I may have to do them myself. I'll only do that as a last resort so that more people can hear the songs, and if someone is interested at that point, I'll record the vocals again.

Chronicles of an Up-and-Coming Band Ch. 3

As was announced a couple days ago, only two more songs need to be recorded in demo form so that the search for a singer is taken to the next step.

In addition to that, I already have some more ideas for the second album. I know, I'm not even done with the first one yet, but these ideas are too good to pass them up. I really can't say that much, other than I already have about 2 or 3 songs that are already about 90% completed, and that it will be another concept record.

Darkness Within (the title of the first album, BTW) will deal with the inner struggle of a character as some choices are presented. I really don't want to reveal more details about the concept yet, but I think it's pretty interesting. All of us have a Dark part to our inner selves that always threatens to overcome our moral and ethical boundaries. Some times, it succeeds, and I think that's the scary part about it.

As far as details for the next record go, all I can say is that it will also deal with a Horror theme. I'm very excited about the ideas I have for that album; most of them are somewhat different from the songs I wrote for the first one, but I think it will still have the essence of what this band is about.

Also, I wanted to say that as soon as the album is finalized, I will upload the Guitar Tabs to the Blog. I'd do it now, but I don't really want to have some other guy take credit for the songs I wrote! : )

A new song preview was uploaded yesterday to various places on the web. Click on the Links and Media Tab to select your favorite place to check out new music.

Only two more updates remain, and, after those are done, the songs will be re-recorded with a real drummer and hopefully a singer.
