The Next Big Thing

After much thought I've decided to close out the Ashes and Bone song cycle.

I know it's short--only three songs--but it just feels like it's done. You can go to my Myspace page to hear them if you want. They are the first three songs--"Walks Like A Man," "Homeworld," and "Ashes and Bone."

Next up will be a longer one--probably ten or twelve songs--I'm calling Cold Iron. These will all be extremely heavy tunes, on the order of "Walks Like A Man," or "Inside." There is no underlying story or anything, though the songs will be unified stylistically and thematically.

The reason for this is simple. In the past I've heard so many bands that considered themselves "metal" who would release a tune that really rocked. So, I'd buy their CD, expecting ten more songs like that one. But no, the other songs would be really sappy ballads or stupid and boring pop tunes. Just that one song to catch my interest, then boredom . . . anyways, this is a response to that. If you like one of these tunes, you'll like all of them, more than likely.

I'll be posting lyrics for the tunes that actually have lyrics (I'm anticipating two instrumentals at this point, though there may be more) as I write them. I may also do a couple of remixes of some of my older stuff that I think would fit with the newer stuff--got a couple of tunes in mind for that, in fact.

I'll also probably not upload these until I have them all finished. I'd like to post them all at once, so you can listen to the whole thing in one sitting. This of course means it'll probably be a while before anything new gets uploaded to my music websites. Plenty of time for you to click over and listen to the stuff that's there now!

So, watch this space for lyrics, news, and whatnot!
