    International Orders, my label making program did some dumb things and quite a few of yours showed up in my mailbox today because customs didn't like it. I deeply apologize. Psy, yours was in that pile. I'm fixing them and mailing them out properly today! It left the country designation off of a lot of them.. stupid microsoft.

    The album is only 5 songs, the CD will have 2 extra pieces of music on it but Eric has requested that we hold off until you get the CD in the mail. We debated on how to separate the tracks, Devil Angel is more of "Work" with 3 movements, and then a 4th and 5th movement on the CD, but we've only divided it into 2 pieces on the CD. When you listen to it, I think you'll understand. The track was such a huge undertaking, that it literally took up most of the year to finish. We could only find one studio in Nashville that could handle the insane number of tracks, and that happened to be the studio Mutt Lange works out of.

    Once we get the pre-orders out, we'll post a way to order them properly. The vinyl is going to be great, because 7" is so much bigger than a CD. We wish we could do a 12" cover but it's cost prohibitive

    So close!

    The studio sorted out their tech issues, and we got back in last night. All the songs but one are done and going to mastering this afternoon. The last tune is pretty much done, but we're going to live with it for a week, make some final adjustments next monday and ship that to mastering as well. Vinyl production should start this week! Thank you all for your patience. Check out the cover for the Vinyl!

    Its coming..

    Hey guys,
    Just posting a little update. There has a been a little technical trouble at the studio we're mixing the record at. The short version is that right before we started the final mixes, they installed the beautiful new board you see in the videos, which sounds amazing! But there is a little work that needs to be done to it, and we can't get in and print final mixes for a week or so.. but its really close. Hang in there!

        Whatever it takes to get it right is fine by me too because I'm yet to see anyone change the laws of physics,,,,including Murphy's Law. Just be happy and may everyone stay friends through it all. Our patient ears await. Rock on!

        Good choice! What's cool about art composition like this is that you keep coming back to look at it. Which is like the music inside,,,you just keep coming back to listen. Burn my eyes and melt my ears :)

        Dude, I just can't wait to see what you write on the BACK cover this tim... The shit you wrote to the guys at SONY last time was just CLASSIC. Honestly, that was worth the price of admission on its own!
