Hello Opeth fans,

Yes, I did read the posting guidelines thread, and they sure are specific, kudos to the moderators...and in hopes of not offending anyone, I am doing my best to be in compliance ;)

Never the less, I am trying to get the word out that Sun Caged are back, and I think many Opeth Fans will dig our new album, so please read the pasting below for all our latest happenings.

Hope you all are having a great start to 2007, & please read on if interested...

Greetings music fans,

I want to take this moment to try and connect with you. If you already know of Sun Caged then this is a notice that your wait for the second album will soon be at an end! Artemisia will be released by Lion Music on March 23, 2007. If you have not heard of us yet, then this is an invitation to check us out!

I know this may seem somewhat “spam-ish” but this is not random. I’m taking the time to write this and post it here because I believe you will find our music to your liking. Let’s face it, the way the music industry is in this day and age, a band has to create its own success and there’s only one true way to do that: create public awareness, i.e. get your music heard by the people who matter: music fans!

We are essentially a new band again. Sure, our sound is still relevant to fans of the first album, but there is a new chemistry completely its own as well. Melodic and moody at times, but still plenty of hard hitting action…and of course mind-bending instrumental dexterity (don’t take that as arrogant self-praise, this is the singer talking, and I’m just giving you my opinion of the great instrumentals, lol)

We’ve been off the radar for a while, but Sun Caged has big plans for 2007. We’ve already got some great shows lined up including a cd release party in Helmond, NL (March 23rd) and a support slot for the mighty Spock’s Beard in May!

So please stop by our page at http://www.myspace.com/suncaged We have brand new pics and artwork up, plus a full album teaser, and one complete (8+ min) song for you to hear! (http://www.suncaged.com is still operational, but needs to be redesigned, so right now it’s just has some links and the album cover)

And finally, one more note: Our friends at http://www.thedividingline.com internet radio are going to debut the 10 minute mini epic “Bloodlines”. That’ll be Feb. 15th during The Rogue’s Gallery (which starts at 8:00pm Pacific time) and again on Feb. 16th during Epic Prog (which starts at 6:00pm Pacific time).

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and we hope to see you real soon!!!

Sincerely,

Paul Adrian Villarreal, (and on behalf of Marcel, Roel, Rene and Roel too)
 
In response:

M_W: Thank you very much, I appreciate the compliment :)

Pethical: True, very true. I just can't seem to do it in any other voice. I think I've been exposed to so much American hip-hop that I just can't ge tmy head around doing it any toher way. If you want Scottish, check http://www.myspace.com/alltimehighuk

Derbeder: One can but live in hope haha.

Don: Fair question. I happen to love Opeth. And lots of metal. And most music haha. I also quite like it here, a good number of you provide some very fine banter :)
 
We are four seeking a fifth. Since we're having little luck through conventional means, I thought I'd think outside the box for a moment. We're all good musicians, so, please have chops.

Thanks much
 
Hi Guys,

I'm new in this forum and I'm a big Opeth fan ;)

I have recorded the first solo of Deliverance and the backing track on my 6-string-bass. Drums are made with Cubase LE, which I also used as Sequencer. The beginning of the solo is not copied 1:1 because it's kinda tricky to play on bass because of the different tuning. However, this is my own interpretation and I didn't want to immitate Peter Lindgren, so everything's fine^^ I hope you'll enjoy it ;)

The special thing about this is, that the original is actually played on guitar. I adopted the solo to bass and recorded it, which wasn't easy.
