More music to come!!!

Being Prolific: I believe it is good to consistently put out records and music. Being in a band where we have the freedom to make any kind of music we want, it really helps to inspire us to keep the music coming. to keep challenging ourselves as musicians and writers, to do something different then we did last time. It's never about topping ourselves or our previous records and being louder or heavier or this or that....it's about making music we want to make. It is also about attempting to try out different styles and sounds. our EP, "wake the sleeping sun", was a way of getting our feet wet at writing and making music.
I think it had a lot different kinds of sounds, folk or alternative or a ballad, we got them on there in those 8 tracks. it was the beginning of something. Behold the wicked is an exercise in being a hard rock band. it takes the heavier sounds we touched on in the EP and magnifies them, it really gets that out of our system. It also touches on sounds we have not explored as a group. I guess in short this record is part heavy rock record and part art rock record, i won't say any more though :) I'll leave that a surprise for the ones who come to the shows and pick up the record...
