Before you burn
Start taking chances now that the tables have turned on you
You know soul sacrifice is the key to succeed,
but, living on bad advice is all you've managed to achieve
And you confess that your life is in a mess,
and preceeding death is not bound to deceive
So, I'm trying again. Johnny's interested in playing thrash still and the new project (Skulltower) has a full lineup except for a drummer. Atomic Violence was good. Atomic Violence was popular. Atomic Violence couldn't pull itself together well enough to continue. However, if any of you are interested, I've uploaded the demo to Mediafire, which can be found right here.
So, straightforward, killer metal is what we plan on making with this project. As long as it's heavy and balls-out it doesn't matter what genre. We'll probably base ourselves in thrash but knowing us we won't be able to stray from death metal or black metal from very long. First practice is hopefully tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited as well. This project may actually work out.
One can hope, anyway.
I also watched Veil of Nithael friday night and was very much blown away. I have to admit they really do kick ass. I mean, they're not the most unique band ever but it's better than about 80% of the USBM bullshit I've so far heard. I applaud them, and I hope they keep up the good work.
Wraithmoon has been resurrected, and I'm happy about that. It's the perfect weather out right now for some kick ass gothic doom. I've become so much more optimistic over the past two nights it's dangerous. I can't wait to get to making music again.
Anyway, that's all I can think of right now.
Til next time.

Monster in the moonlight...
Devils in his head,
How do they shout so loud?
Tonight is his to take
Nobody knows his face
Something he will not allow...
So much going on and yet.... nothing is happening.
I've taken up writing once again, to fill my time. I'm starting a separate project, away from certain bandmates that are getting on my last nerve. Unfortunately, searching for drummers is never an easy task. Though it is nice to be in the network of musicians that is my circle of friends. I may not know any drummers, but hopefully someone I know will know someone who knows a drummer that's interested. I am fortunately not looking for anything difficult, just fast and simple beats. Of course, if we get an insanely awesome drummer, and they want to show off, so be it. I am open minded, I don't feel a need to stereotype or pigeonhole myself as this or that.
I've stopped bothering with Adam, Johnny, everyone. They don't care so neither do I. I'm just going to surrender this time. Atomic Violence is dying. It's dying of a disease called Veil of Nithael. And by that I don't mean that Veil of Nithael (Johnny and Adam's other band, though it would appear that we're their other band now) is a vile parasite that should be "cured." That's just the best metaphor I can think of. When Johnny joined, it was an inconvenience to us that we reacted way too severely over. None of us reacted more severely than Adam, who joined a week later. Yes, ironic, I know. Then, after Adam joined, Atomic Violence headed downhill. Alfred and I have kept this sad excuse for a functioning project on life support for months. If it's time to pull the plug, it's time to pull the plug. Nothing I can do anymore. And Nick, Justin and Sarah are all great people. They're friends of mine and I wish them the best.
But I am not going to sit around and wait for a dying band to suddenly come back to life. Since the "awesome practice" I talk about in my previous entry, we have not written jack shit. Adam doesn't care, Sarah's too nervous, Johnny's too distracted by Sarah, Jonathan's never there and Alfred's too passive. I need to start fresh, preferably with someone not being ruled by flattery or hormones. Harsh, yes, but also true.
I'm in a better position to start a band now than I ever have been, and though that doesn't mean it'll be easy, I'll do my best to remain optimistic.
Well, what else can I say?
Til next time.
