The highly anticipated full length album from For Every Story Untold is almost here. We want you to be a part of the celebration!
Since we started working together back in 2009, we began writing a collection of stories and songs that not only involve our influence, but the characters that we’ve created for them. Each song is the score to a series of haunting accounts as told from the perspective of a character within it. We’ve recorded, revised and re-recorded literally thousands of tracks, both instrumental and vocal, in order to get each of the songs to truly represent the correct tone and color of each narrative. The songs have each captured a passion that we didn’t even know existed, and we are committed to presenting our debut LP in the manner that it should be heard.
This is where you, our dearest friends, come in. We need your help to finish what we’ve started. We need to raise $4,000 dollars in order to be able to put this album out.
What is my money funding?
Your money will be funding:
-Mixing the album (mostly)
-Mastering the album
-Artwork
-Distribution and duplication (we really want to get the album out both digitally and on CD & Vinyl if at all possible)
-Promotion
We're trying our hardest for an October 30th release date (Just in time for Halloween). It would mean the world to us!
We know that Kickstarter is all about the prizes received for donations, and we feel this can be our chance to really connect with our fans too. The prizes range from signed copies of the album to privately being recorded to become a part of the album, and there are a bunch of other perks too. Just look at the list.
We can’t thank you enough for taking the time to read this, and we appreciate any and all of your support with our Kickstarter project. Please send us an email with any questions: foreverystoryuntold@gmail.com.

FAQ
-
Lauren and I (Brian) started writing songs together back in 2009.. I had a musical score to a story that I wrote about the end of the world and really wanted to continue the theme of putting music to the emotions of characters within our songs. Lyrically we were both drawn to stories about ghosts and supernatural elements and how we related to them. The name came from the lyrics to one of our first songs that we worked on together now titled “When This Nightmare Ends It's Course”
-
The romantic part about ghosts stories that is sometimes overlooked is really that they capture the exact moment of a person’s life.. right when it changes forever. Bad or good.. These miraculous moments define us as human beings.. which is why I feel we really relate to them and try to capture them in our music.
-
Everyone deserves the chance to really express themselves freely and get their ideas out there- Which is why we chose to use Kickstarter to help us with our album. Personally, I have never put as much effort towards anything in my life like I have for these songs. They have been written and re-written dozens of times each, and I finally feel that they are ready to be released. Lauren and I have done absolutely everything we can to make each song on this album pull the listener every which way emotionally and really would love people not just to connect, but extend their imaginations and really wear the masks of, for a brief moment, the characters that we've created.

We’ve tracked the album at our apartments and are just trying to raise some of the funding to get this record out. We know we will be incurring a lot of the other costs ourselves, but really can’t complete this dream without you guys. -
We feel that we need a mix engineer that can really help bring out the nuances and colors of each track to further connect the listener to the overall narrative and allow them to experience something that isn't common in music in this day and age. We need to go to someone who can really make the album cohesive and bring each song to life. It would mean the world to us to bring make this happen. Please help us! <3 <3 Brian
