Here's The Latest!
I've been working hard for the past 4 days and so far 8 songs are ready to go! Aside from a few tweaks here and there over the next week, I'm loving the direction!!! I dropped the low E down to D on three songs and overall this album will be the heaviest yet. There is a ballad that's a straight ahead "rock" ballad and I may try for another as well but I have to tell you, I'm super excited about the style and I feel in my gut that this album will not only rival NMHTP but quite possibly surpass it. It would be very cool to make the "the best album" of our career (when many people have already stated that NMHTP was and is). I believe we're easily on that path right now.
I'm taking two days off (Lisa and I will be celebrating our 5th year anniversary - 1/8) and then I'll dive back in to finish everything up. Oz submitted a few riff ideas (I already completed one as a song) and I'll be getting to the other 2 soon and I have 2 other very cool ideas. Ass to that one cover (can't say what yet) and bam - we have a 12 song album with one bonus track.
You may be thinking "man that was just too quick" and "I hope the songs are good" - trust me I wouldn't let it slide if it wasn't. These songs are going to kick the devils A-double-S and then some and I can't wait to hear it all take form.
God Bless and Rock On!
