Blog Update
I decided to add a tab on the Blog where I talk a little bit about the bands that influenced me as a musician. I mention how it was that I discovered the band, some personal thoughts about their albums, and other stuff like that. Make sure to check it out if you're interested in finding out how Tainted Equilibrium came to be.

Chronicles of an Up-and-Coming Band Ch. 6
I uploaded the instrumental demos to the Soundcloud Channel after all. I guess that will give the songs more exposure, but I'm worried that once I add the vocals, the songs won't be as fresh anymore. Well, it's out of my hands now. So far, the plays are few and far between, so I guess it's still possible to get more people to follow the band
Speaking of Soundcloud, I'd like to thank any of you who are following the band and have found this blog in the links section of the Channel. I hope you like the material, and know that there are already a few ideas for a second album :)
The odd thing is, many of the followers are Death-Metal bands, which I think is quite ironic given that I'm not really a fan of that style. Musically, I respect those types of bands because they write awesome songs with cool and inventive arrangements, but the vocals kill it for me (no pun intended). I would love to be a fan of bands like Death, Opeth, and many others like them, but . . . I just can't get over those growls and screams. My apologies if anyone is offended.
As far as progress in writing the lyrics goes, I have yet to write a single word. Honestly, I have not been able to sit down and think of melodies for the vocals yet, but I should be able to come up with lyrics in the next few weeks.
Patience is a virtue. Remember that.

It's not really possible to set a release date or anything. I'll contemplate uploading the instrumental versions in full (or at least a few of them) so that people can get interested. We'll see what happens from there.
