I've deleted the last update due to space limitations. The handnumbered, limited to 25 edition of a stand of faith in despair's darkest moment (with 2 bonus tracks I won't offer anywhere else again) is still available via Game Two and Hellride. Things have picked up for this new demo, as of late, and I'm completely out of these limited edition versions, now. The next batch will not have the bonus tracks or special inserts. Anyway, the first review of the new demo is up at Hellride--you can check that out here. Also, you can check out a song from the new demo on the Tremble Saith Thy Master soundclick.com page--"Shadow Of The New Crusades"--by clicking on the soundclick page links at the top or bottom of this page. Please, keep checking back for updates. Thanks as always for your support and patience!!!

Well, it has been a long time since I've had an update for you--sorry about that. For those of you who have supported Tremble Saith Thy Master over the years, I think I've finally come up with a nice payoff --that being, the new Tremble demo, a stand of faith in despair's darkest moment. I know many people have been upset that I haven't made the previous demos available for sale--again, it was a decision based on the fact that the recordings weren't even close to where I wanted them to be. The new demo has its faults, as any bedroom recording would, but this turned out decent enough I'm thinking of making it publicly available. Feedback from friends and colleagues whose opinions I value and trust will aid in finalizing this decision. Check back for updates on this aspect of the new demo--I'll have something posted as soon as a decision is made.
Now, onto the fun part. How exactly did it turn out? Well, I think the material on this demo serves as a kind of bridge between epic doom and pure doom. Something like Candlemass, Reagers era-Saint Vitus, Pentagram, and Solstice all having a four-way head-on collision. This is just a quick surface way to describe my perception of how it sounds to you--of course everyone will have their own take. The song I previously stated would be Warning sounding turned out with much more of a Solstice spin to it--I guess that's what happens when you listen to "Cimmerian Codex" 25 times in a row everyday before you start recording;-) The big difference between this demo and the last is that, due to all of the misfortunes which happened on the homefront last year, the songs had much longer than usual to develop out of necessity. The result is a collection which is much stronger as a whole than previous TSTM demos. In fact, everything is solid to the point where I have absolutely no idea which song to post for you on soundclick.com--feedback from the aforementioned folks will aid in that decision as well. Again, check back because I'll post it here as soon as the song is up.
The next week will be spent assembling copies of this demo for the "inner circle" members who have requested them. Shortly after they've had a chance to soak them in, things should happen rather quickly on all the things I've discussed above. To the diehards--thank you so much for all your patience!!! If plans change, I'll make sure and post an update. Till then, you can still listen to select tracks from the first two Tremble Saith Thy Master demos on soundclick.com. Enjoy! |
