Its time to announce my new release!

[Hguols]

So, I know its cliche to say that this is my best musical work yet (as I say it with each attempt) but I really do feel like I'm making progress here. The project, once again is Ankou Awaits, and the album's name is Wyllt.
I spent WEEEEEEEKS putting this together. Writing. Recording. Now I'm finally done with all of that.



A few things different from previous albums -
~ I added some symphonic elements. Not enough to be symphonic metal I'd say, but enough to give the occasional late 90's second wave black metal vibe. No "keys" per say, but more strings and ah's.
~ Lead/solo guitar elements and occasional clean/singing vocals.
~ Also, just like better ingredients ~ better pizza, better instruments ~ better recording also applies here.

This is a full length album, but I'll post two songs here - Track 1 and Track 5.

Now I'm going to try to get the attention of a better record label than The Path Less Traveled Records. Nothing against them of course, but you'll never know how good you can get until you start from the top and work your way down.

You literary buffs, this is a split concept album from Welsh mythology. (Wyllt~rhymes with the German licht~is Welsh for "Wild") Part of this is about Gywn Ap Nudd's journey reclaiming his love, but when he makes Cyledr (later renamed Cyledr Wyllt) eat his father's heart, we travel though Cyledr's sanity breaking. Also a touch of King Arthur ~ google is your friend if you want to know more about these legends.

Question, comments or concerns, I'd be happy to accommodate. You can sample all the songs on my project's dot com.

Tom, I still need to get with you to get you access to the website backend don't I?

I plan on checking out your music in the morning, for now, its bedtime :)

Yes sir you do, but I'm not in a hurry if you aren't. ‎  : P

I reached an agreement with a label yesterday. ‎  (Personal best for me considering I just started looking yesterday) This Ankou Awaits - Wyllt will be released on Black Plague Records.

Your tremolo effects are definitely a lot less midi on this album than that of your first. ‎  Sounds like you have replaced your drum beats with some professional sounding stuff. ‎  Much more like a live band and not a synth. ‎  Maybe it is? ‎  It is hard for me to tell with all the death metal stuff going on :)

[Hguols]

If you (or anyone) can't tell if its real instruments or MIDI, I think I have a "mission complete". ‎  : P

[Hguols]

Well, I finally did it.
I made a facebook page per Mike at BPR's suggestion. There's still a lot I don't know about it, but if anyone wants to add me or whatever you do on here... I'd love to have you!

Ahhhrrrgggghhh!! another good person lost to the facebook cult!!! If you start playing Farmville 8 hours a day and using the word "Friend" as a verb, I'm driving to your state to do an intervention ‎ 

[Hguols]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! ‎  The good news is, I have no idea how to refer people. ‎  (the only "likes" I've gotten are poor souls that have visited my site and saw I had none) and I don't even know where Farmville is, nor do I care to know!
