In just a couple days, i'm making the six hour drive to the studio. I'm going in to record my band's demo/album. It's me on most of teh instruments then i have to drive my singer down to do the vocal lines. I've never recorded anything like this before and i can safely say taht i really couldn't possibly be any more nervous, so if anyone has any good tips i'll be more then happy to listen. I've been working on this album nonstop for god knows how long and i've been literally sacrificing my health all summer to get this thing ready. Practicing 8+ hours a day, and i still have many things to work out, i just hope i find the confidence and skill i need. This is the culmination and hopefully just the beginning of the dream i've had since i was 8 years old. I know for sure this is what i want to do with my life and i can't myself doing anything else. I've put so much into this and put so much hope and sacrifice into getting htis ready and i still see so far i have to go. i've gotten myself to the point where i can play Sonata Arctica, Sinergy, and Children of Bodom songs yet i'm still at a loss for some confidence and i feel skill. I"m hoping that goes away. Kinda just resting today to give myself a break. We have two weeks to get 6 fulll songs done and honestly i just want it done.

for those curious i guess we'll be classified as symphonic metal, but i've been focusing on keeping it heavy as possible. Our guitars are more thrash style then power metal i would say. My singer, Emily, is very talented and can easily sing stuff like Within Temptation, Nightwish, etc, she sounds amazing. she can even do opera, in fact, the first song on the album is sort of an aria i wrote. with any luck, it'll come out that way.Of course, as soon as i finish them, i'll get some of the songs online for you guys to here. This has been my life's work up till now and i hope i have much more of it ahead of me, though i should probably watch my health a bit more, that is after the binge drinking celebration afterwards.

thanks to all the people here whom i've gotten to know over the past two years. i'm sorry i don't post a lot, but i still always check in.
