Back again. First and foremost I'm announcing that the Wicked Breath EP Perfidy of Judgment will not be released due to several reasons, including lack of time and satisfaction. Instead, a song or two that were intended to be on the EP will be released on another EP titled This Slut They Call A Heart, which will be available around the same time as Wicked Breath's debut album. TSTCAH is what I may have been referring to as the 'special edition EP' up until now. The album itself also carries a new working title as of late, which is Reflections & Realizations. I've been writing songs like crazy the past two months or so, and there is only one song yet to be started on for the 18-track affair. The working titles of the latest two songs are Vail and Drowning, and I've also finished a song called Excruciated since my last post. At this rate, I am presumably done with writing by Christmas and can aim my focus entirely on finalizing the product and getting it out by the end of next year.
During the past week or so I've resumed the recording of the album by working on guitars and bass for Skies. While I never stopped writing, I had been on a break from recording and mixing basically since the middle of August, but now I've developed a game plan and am back to experience the rush. Not only have I abandoned Perfidy of Judgment though, I'm also delaying Ravinethrall's debut release Bequeath to a time yet unknown. Whether it will be finished this year or next year is impossible to tell, but it will be released sooner or later - as it is only a side project, I'm just finding it more important to work on my priority first. All recording has been done for over a month now so it shouldn't take long to put everything together for Bequeath once the time comes. Later this weekend I'm also having a meeting with the members of Theban Cycle so don't you worry - I may not be able to work on everything simultaneously not to mention share every single update, but I have not forgotten or ditched anything. Well, anything besides Perfidy of Judgment, but I precise that metaphorically, its intention was merely that of a movie trailer with cut scenes and whatnot, and along the way it was just decided that some of the scenes would be used for the movie itself instead while some others would be scrapped entirely. As the artist I don't really have to explain myself anyway, do I? I live by Evanescence's new song. :P
Speaking of Evanescence, their new album is coming out soon (October 11th to be exact) and it will have a zero chance to wear off by the time more awesome and new releases I'm thrilled about are already out. KoRn's new album The Path of Totality gets off the leash December 6th, with Munky's side project Fear And The Nervous System releasing their debut album over a month prior to that on October 25th. A new KoRn single will be playable as early as next Tuesday and it's called Narcissistic Cannibal. While waiting for the new album(s) I've checked out some bonus tracks from KoRn III: Remember Who You Are, and one of them called Trapped Underneath the Stairs is officially my song of the week. Opeth's Heritage has been in my possession for about a month now and though different, it's a very enjoyable album which I'm sure will grow in huge amounts as I listen to it more. There are also several albums that have come out recently from such bands as Mastodon and Dream Theater that I'm thinking of checking out, since they are bands I've been meaning to listen to for a while but haven't done so yet.
School is naturally what has kept me so busy that I haven't posted here much and am required to do even some harsh decisions with my projects. What's worse is that so far it's not even really worth it. My first exam week of the year ended on Tuesday and the grades I've gotten back so far are a 6+ from Health Knowledge and a 7½ from Geography. Both are rather meaningless subjects to me but I'm still a bit disappointed, and I don't feel like the grades we have yet to receive from Finnish, Swedish and English are going to be much better. I have received a few honors though along the way so far - one of my Finnish essays was the best of both classes attending year two and yielded 55 points out of 60. My teacher is eager to make me want to be a reporter now. I was also offered the chance to join the European Youth Parliament due to my English skills and interest in society, but I turned it down. What truly scares me is that I still don't know what I want to do with my life apart from writing lyrics/poems and stories, and music which will surely never end. Neither happen to be things I could make a living out of, unfortunately.
Finally, I have started a new short story with a friend of mine that's yet another love story, but quite dramatic at that. There's no telling when it'll be done but so far we have almost two chapters written. My other idea hasn't come to letters yet but I have tons of twists, characters and the general plot (most importantly) memorized in my head. It looks like it's going to be an actual novel after all. Obviously that means it won't be done in years but that's fine. I'm more confident than with my previous novel attempts that it will be finished eventually.
I leave you with Trapped Underneath The Stairs now (click) and go on with some school work and Wicked Breath-related things for the rest of the day. Regardless of the song fitting with my mood these past two weeks or so, I can say that my depression is better now than it was a month ago. Ironic, isn't it, since days are getting darker and colder? :P Then again, we're coming closer to the season I really love.
Until next time... Take care!
