Hi everyone,
Just stopping by to thank those of you that picked up the cd at Progpower and other places this past week. Lance and I truly appreciate your laying down your hard earned cash and we thank you for understanding how important it is for artists like us that you do so.
Weve pretty much spent the past year working on this and we put our hearts and souls into this and we gave it everything we had. Believe it or not, this is Lances first recording in 2 and a half years; thats got to be a record for him ;-). Many of you know how busy he is and on top of everything else he had to do (running Nightmare Records, festivals, family duties), he worked his ass off as the producer, singer, and keyboardist! (not to mention having to deal with me on a daily basis ;-))
Two HUGE additions to our lineup are Jerry Babcock, our drummer, and Bill Hudson on lead guitar. They took this album to a whole new level and I am very thankful that they believed in this project as much as Lance and I did. This is Jerrys first recording and believe it or not, this is Bills only second full length recording, Cellador being the first.
Although we are eagerly awaiting your thoughts about the cd, we realize that many of you purchased a bunch of other cds and you need some time to listen and enjoy all of your recent purchases. When you get around to listen to Ashes And Madness, feel free to look up this thread and post your thoughts; good or bad ;-).
Those of you in the Minneapolis area, please take note that we will be hosting a cd release party on Saturday 10/25 at the Station 4 nightclub in St. Paul. We will be playing a 90 minute set and we will have Chicagos own Sacred Dawn as support. We would love to see you all there!
