Just listened "Two way mirror" and what can I say... Rick, congratulations again!!!
I don´t mind at all mellow stuff. I love all kind of quality stuff and "Two way mirror" is excellent. Songs like "This sinking feeling" or "Two way mirror" are among the best of your career. I suggest you for the next album a mix between mellow and heavy stuff.
I´ve never been in NYC but having the chance of seeing Grey Skies Fallen could be a reason (among others) of travelling there. Maybe a gig with Grey Skies Fallen, Novembers Doom, Daylight Dies and While Heaven Wept.
A Journey´s End: What I sad day for me! LOL. I felt so proud of my 5000 cd, 1000 vynils and 1000 tapes... Amazing collection!!!!
Hey man, glad you liked Two Way Mirror! I enjoyed making that album most. The next one is pretty much exactly as you said it should be: a mix of styles. Right now, it's looking to be heavier than mellow, but there will be a good amount of TWM-styled stuff.
As for shows...we played a lot around here last summer, and most of them were horrible experiences. Playing for 10 people on a good night. lol! So we stopped playing for a while. Now we have a gig on the 16th of Feb. in Manhattan that is looking like it's gonna be well worth our while. We're gonna break out 30 minutes of brand new material that night. It sounded awesome in practice tonight, and I can't wait to play it live.
In regards to us and ND playing, Paul can tell ya, we played a lot of cool gigs together back in the day! Some of my personal favorite shows are ones we played with those guys. Paul, the night we played at L'amours, was that the night Otep was playing in the main room?
Talk about getting the shaft!
