I posted this on a few other forums, and Barren Meadows posted it on their site. I might as well post this here!

"Well, after slaving away a lot of free time between February and March, I've got this sophomore album complete.
Hguols - Celestial Powers Intervened To True Supremacy
8 tracks - 43:52 running time
1- Destined to Find Sanctuary - 4:30
2- I Found the Essence of Darkness - 5:04
3- Within the Grip of Insanity - 4:34
4- All But Life Was Lost - 4:44
5- In This Exchange of Demise - 4:37
6- Celestial Powers Intervened - 7:12
7- My Eyes Have Opened - 4:37
8- To True Supremacy - 8:31
For those of you familiar with my MIDI work, I've done something a little different from Epitome - I'm utilizing soundfonts for a few of the instruments. The album will still be sequenced in a similar fashion, but for example, rather than a GM strings sound, a Campbell's cello is used instead. Rather than a GM distortion guitar, an Ilkka Palmroth's SG Electric Guitar through Zoom GFX-707 Guitar Effect Processor is used. The soundfonts bring not only a different sound, but a more realistic and lifelike approach to this project.
I guess the real meat and potatoes of this post is that the songs in bold in the above tracklist can be listened to at the Hguols myspace page, or at https://www.hguols.com
(though, they'll sound better at the dot com than the myspace streaming)
The CD will be available on Barren Meadows Recordings September / October 2010.
The digital release will be available in a few months.
Any and all question, comments and snide remarks are welcomed!
Thanks to all who are interested!"
Responses have been good!
