New Prog: Shadow Circus

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am nearly complete recording my first prog album -- I've been playing in mostly hard-rock bands my whoe life, and was inspired when I saw that bands such as Spock's Beard and Flower Kings were carrying the torch, so I decided to give it a go!

It started as more of a personal project and experiment, but the reactions to it have been enthusiastic enough that one of my old band-mates, drummer Corey Folta, has come on board, and my good friend David Bobick on vocals, who have both raised the bar in terms of what I expected this to become. In fact, i can no longer handle the bass, keys, and guitars by myself, so when we go out live this fall, we will have a full band on stage!

Anyway, I have posted some demos from early in the recording process, so you can get an idea, without it spoiling the surprise when the album is ultimately released. I'd love to know what you all think of it! Just keep in mind that the takes I have posted are early demos, and the final release will sound far tighter/more developed...
