Mechanical
Organic
History has proven over
and over again that the road is not set with roses for the pioneers, be
it for music or for every other aspect of our lives. So it is with this
band's music I guess. Mechanical Organic have something special and unique,
have the ability to mix organic sounds produced by humans with mechanical
elements that are created by machines.
Eddie Katz the mastermind
behind this band has offered us some really well thought out answers that
are here to open new possibilities for the open minded...
1. CONGRATULATIONS ON “FLAT EARTH SOCIETY”!
IT’S ONE OF THE WEIRDEST AND MOST SPECIAL ALBUMS I’VE LISTENED TO. ARE
YOU CONTENT WITH THE FINAL RESULT OR IS THERE ANYTHING YOU’D LIKE TO CHANGE?
Eddie: Thank you for the kind words,
it means a lot to us. When I look back at the recording process and
the way the album was put together I’m quite happy with the results, however
there is always room for improvement. The recording and mixing took
some time to complete and there were periods where I thought it would never
end. But I guess we were simply trying to make the album as unique and
as polished as possible. We have our own studio so time and money
weren’t an issue for us. It was much more important for us to make
sure that the music, song writing, and sound quality was consistent throughout
the album.
We are currently working on new material for
our next CD and I believe there will be a definite step forward for the
band. I love the challenge of writing new songs and progressing as a band.
It’s much more exiting for me to look to the future than to look at past
works and wish I had done things differently. With each release you get
the chance to improve and progress and learn from past mistakes.
I hope that we continue to push the boundaries of what this band is capable
of, and that is to produce music that is both challenging and accessible
while staying true to our unique approach to writing music.
2. GIVE US A SHORT BAND BIO BY POINTING OUT THE
MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF THE BAND. PLEASE ALSO PRESENT THE CURRENT LINE
UP TO THE READERS…
Eddie: I’m not sure if there have been
any real standout moments that have defined this band for me. We
simply work really hard at our craft and try to be as unique as possible.
I try not to focus on things I can’t control. I’d rather pour my efforts
into things that can make a real difference to the band. In that
sense my focus, as in the past, is firmly placed on building this band
one brick at a time. So for now we will continue to focus on producing
lots of music. I guess the release of our first album “Flat Earth
Society” was a major achievement for us. But rather than bask in
the glow of that release I’m more interested in new material and the new
direction of the band. The future is much more exciting to me than
our past. We worked really hard on the first album and I’m extremely
proud of that release but for me it’s now set in stone and I’m ready to
move on to big and brighter things. Of course I really want people to hear
the album and I will do everything in my power to promote it in order to
reach as many people as possible. For me personally the other thing that
really solidified this band and made it what it is today is when I found
the two guys I’m currently working with.
As time passes I think the band will only
get stronger and more distinctive. As we spend more time writing together
as a band the more our sound will develop and the more impact we’ll have.
I’m hoping our profile will grow over the coming years to the point where
people will begin to recognize the band's name and instantly be able to
distinguish our sound. I’m really looking forward to our future and
all the music we have planned for release.
The current line up is
Eddie Katz – Vocals, Bass, Keyboards, Sequencing
Connie D – Lead, Synth and Rhythm
Laurence Belviso – Drums and Percussion
3.LET’S SUPPOSE THAT YOU WERE ASKED TO REVIEW
“FLAT EARTH SOCIETY”. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TRYING TO BE AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE?
Eddie: I’m very self critical so it's
very difficult for me to analyze exactly what we sound like. The
following is short blurb I wrote for our press kit and I think it objectively
sums up the band pretty well:
“If you where to pigeonhole the sound of Mechanical
Organic you would struggle to find a single category that would summarize
the sound. Mech Org is predominately Heavy in nature with a hybrid Electronic/Industrial
element mixed with a progressive edge. The vocal melodies were written
and structured in such a way that they convey a sense of intellect while
remaining melodic and hook laden, powerful and sonically interesting. Many
vocal harmonies are included to give the music a rich bed of backing voices.
Many other unique vocal effects have been included to deliver a distinctive
sonic experience. The heavy crunching guitar work drives the Mech Org sound
while outstanding lead and synth guitar highlight the musicality of the
project. To accompany the music and vocals a range of sonic textures and
panning sound effects makes the listening experience authentic and exotic.
Driving rhythms and hard hitting drums and percussion complete the sound
with an overall balance between experimentation and catchy/memorable vocals
and music. Mechanical Organic managed to produce music that is melodic,
lyrically forward thinking, heavy and musically unique in many ways.”
4. YOUR MUSIC IS DIFFICULT AND I THINK IT’S ADDRESSED
ONLY TO THE OPEN MINDED LISTENERS, SINCE IT’S A MIXTURE OF METAL WITH PROGRESSIVE
AND INDUSTRIAL. ACTUALLY LIKE I SAID IT’S A MIXTURE OF MECHANICAL AND ORGANIC
SOUNDS. SO WHO DO YOU THINK WILL APPRECIATE YOUR MUSIC THE MOST?
Eddie: Anyone who is looking for something
a bit different. Anyone who is sick of the overabundances of copycat
bands who simply write music to fit a trend. Anyone who is open minded
and willing to experiment. Anyone who is interested in conspiracy.
Anyone who is looking for a band that is willing to push the boundaries
of what is considered metal. Anyone who is sick of pure aggression
and mindless noise. Anyone searching for the essence of individuality in
music. And anyone who is interested in smart melodic metal/indust/prog
that is intellectual and well thought out.
I don’t believe our music is as difficult
to comprehend as some people think. We simply write music that makes
us happy, music that we believe in. We are not trying to fit a specific
genre or to please a certain demographic we simply write the best music
we can at any given time. I think it’s that approach that ultimately drives
our style, we feel no pressure to conform.
5. BY THE WAY IS IT BECAUSE OF YOUR SOUND THAT
YOU NAMED THE BAND MECHANICAL ORGANIC OR THE VICE VERSA? HOW DID YOU COME
UP WITH THIS MONIKER?
Eddie: That’s exactly right. “Mechanical”
refers to the machine driven elements of the band such as the sequencing
and sampling and all the programmed keyboard parts. And “Organic”
refers to the more human element of our music such as the vocals, guitar
and bass. Our music is an equal mixture of both Mechanical and Organic
parts. The name was basically something I thought of which I thought
sounded cool. I originally wanted to call the band “Flat Earth Society”
but it was already taken. I think a punk band in the US are using
it at the moment. I thought “Mechanical Organic” was a pretty good
compromise and I think it sums up the band pretty well.
6. WHAT’S THE BEST AND WHAT’S THE WORST PART OF
YOUR MUSIC, ACCORDING TO YOU?
Eddie: I think the best part of our
music is our originality and our ability to write songs that don’t sound
like any other band. I think it’s pretty hard to be original these
days without sounding too experimental and obscure. And I really like the
fact that reviewers all over the world are finding it hard to pigeonhole
“Mechanical Organic”, that in my book is really cool. I’m so happy that
we have produced something that is making people think and take notice.
Basically the worst part of our music revolves
around the same theme. Originality can be a blessing and a curse.
We sometimes find it difficult to target an audience for our sound.
We’re really not aggressive enough to appeal solely to the metal crowd.
We’re not progressive enough to appeal exclusively to prog head. And we’re
not really industrial so we won’t attract the industrial crowd. We’re
all of these things and more. So it can be quite difficult to find
an audience that is receptive to our unique genre blend.
7. ARE THERE ANY ELEMENTS YOU’D LIKE TO ADD OR
EXPERIMENT WITH IN THE FUTURE?
Eddie: HELL YEAH!!!!! As I mention
before we’re working on new material at the moment and we’re really excited
about the new direction. The main changes to the overall sound will
be things that make our music more exciting to the listener. We will
incorporate live drums into the mix this time around as well as live percussion.
I’m really interested in experimenting more with the “Organic” side of
the band so we’ll be using more live instrumentation. There
will also be much more tempo variation in our music to make it more interesting.
Also our recording techniques have improved so hopefully the whole album
will sound better as a result. Oh yeah, if he has time I hope to incorporate
some of Conrad’s song structures as well this time around. In the
past he has written all the guitar parts but this time I hope he will contribute
to the initial song writing process. We will always try to improve
and progress as a band so every time we release an album you’ll hopefully
hear some sort of progression.
8. WHAT AMAZED ME IN THIS RELEASE WASN’T ONLY
THE GREAT SONGS, LYRICS AND THE OVERALL AESTHETICS, BUT ALSO THE GREAT
PRODUCTION AND SOUND. DID YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OR THE HELP OF
A PROFESSIONAL?
Eddie: Thank you, I’m really glad you
liked the production quality. We really did spend a lot of time working
and reworking all the different elements of our sound. I guess there
are always things that can be improved and we have learnt so much in putting
out this album. I have recorded a number of albums here at my studio
for different bands and projects I’ve been involved in. We’ve all
been involved in music for a long time now so we have a lot of experience
but I guess you can always learn more. It’s a never ending journey, you
never know everything. Conrad also has his own studio setup so he
does all of his recording at home. I have basically written all the
initial songs including vocal melodies and lyrics. I then send out
these songs to Conrad. He records all his guitar parts in his
studio and then sends all the tracks to me and I import them into my setup
for final mixing. The system works great. The only professional
help we receive was when we mastered the album. We tried to master
it ourselves in our own studios but we couldn’t get the recording to sound
consistent on different stereos. Mastering is a real art and should
be left to the professionals. In the end we decided to go with a professional
mastering studio and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
9. TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE ALBUM LYRIC-WISE…
NO! TELL US A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT THE LYRICS. ACTUALLY I’D APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU SAID A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR EACH SONG IN PARTICULAR… I FOUND YOUR
LYRICS GREAT! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH THEM?
Eddie: The following is a short rundown
describing each song and it’s lyrical message. I wrote it some time
ago for use on various MP3 hosting sites but I thought it was worth while
having it on our web site. So here it is:
1. “What have we Become” was inspired by “Howard
Bloom”, author of “The Lucifer Principal” and “Global Brain”, and a really
good friend of mine. I received an e-mail from Howard some time ago
where he highlighted his concerns regarding the fact that Militant Extremists
are now armed with Stealth submarines that are capable of striking New
York City and Washington with sea to land missiles. It was such a scary
prospect that I had to contribute to his cause by writing this song and
making people aware of Howard's apocalyptic prophesy.
2. "Stealth” is a catchy little number that
examines personal information collection and mass marketing. Everything
in life these days seems to revolve around marketing products directly
to the individual. I guess this song is a warning to every individual to
value your personal information and to keep it locked away from prying
eyes.
3. “Hacking Humanity” is a song about a series
of unsettling dreams each dream being guided by a higher intelligence.
A non local consciousness hacking dreams and artificially planting ideas
and thoughts to brain wash and manipulate.
4. "Nothing is Real" is a song about how we
all create our own realities. We move through life busily absorbing information
and perceiving events. Yet we seldom really consider the possibility
that we as individuals can influence the way our lives evolve. This dream
of consciousness we call life can be manipulated and solidified by the
simple act of “belief”.
5. “Username & Password” is a warning
to all those who use the internet. I've tried to divulge the truth behind
internet fraud and the loss of personal information. Every time we log
on to the net we expose ourselves to information loss, corruption and fraud.
In a perfect world the internet should have become a cyber utopia of free
speech/expression without control. But it is fast becoming a system of
information collection and mass marketing.
6. “All According to Plan” was inspired by
an article I read that expressed the view that the US military were deliberately
going about their duties incompetently in an attempt to maintain a certain
level of social disorder in Iraq. This course of action allows the
US government to justify maintaining a military presents in Iraq and allows
them to persevere with military action. This song examines the effect of
the deliberate incompetence.
7. “To Bridge the Void” questions antiquated
belief systems and examines how people put their faith in ideas and concepts
that are clearly redundant and archaic. With this song I clearly
broke one of my personal social rules and that is never have a discussion/argument
with people regarding religion or politics. I've learnt from personal experience
that people tend to be very passionate and extremely defensive when faced
with religious and political criticism?
8. "Weapons of mass Distraction" contains
a lyrical theme revolving around hidden information and media leaked disinformation.
I've tried to lift the veil on how we're all kept in the dark and fed lies
that control our lives. This is the first song I wrote for this project
and pretty much paved the way for the rest of the CD.
9. “Nostalgia” is a song that looks back in
history to when nations knew who their enemies were. The central
message contained in this song is that warfare has changed to a point where
the enemy is virtually invisible. How can you possibly fight a war
when you don't know who to fight.
10. “The Bitter Truth” is a song that teaches
us to separate fact from fiction and not to blindly accept information
that is presented to us. We all need to re-examine everything that we've
been told in the past as well as everything that we are being told at present.
We need to open our eyes to the truth behind the lie, to separate fact
from fiction.
11. "This They Must Never Know" is a spoken
word industrial sound scape that contains the secret covenant of the ruling
elite. This was a last minute inclusion on the CD; we felt the piece
brought the whole CD to a fitting and ominous end.
10. ALL THE SONGS, BUT ESPECIALLY THE LAST ONE
“THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW” HAS A CONSPIRACY THEORY TOUCH TO IT… SO, COULD
YOU PLEASE REVEAL TO ME WHO THOSE CREATURES THAT CONTROL HUMANS ARE? :)
Eddie: From a personal point of view
I became interested in this subject matter a couple of years ago and I’ve
since done extensive research on political corruption and of course delved
heavily into all aspects of conspiracy theory. There is a lot of
information out there on the net and in books and I encourage everyone
to educate themselves. I try to be very careful with what I say to
people regarding this subject matter. I’ve learnt from experience
that some people don’t want to accept some of the really disturbing elements
of this kind of information, so with that in mind I try my best not to
force my opinions onto people and to let people make up their own minds.
My intention is to write songs that investigate certain facts regarding
political conspiracy in the hope that people will become interested enough
to research all the fact for themselves. In a nut shell I guess I
believe that there are people and organizations, shadow governments and
the ruling elite that manipulate world events such as 9/11 and all the
wars on earth to suit themselves and to make vast amount of profit. We
live in a world of lies, media manipulation, mind control and we seem to
be heading toward one world government and we are losing our rights at
an alarming rate. I definitely don’t go down the alien conspiracy
rabbit hole and I try to steer clear of the really religious and biblical
aspects of the conspiracy. My interest lies in history and proven
facts regarding current events. If anyone is interested in learning
more you can visit the links section of our website. I’ve put up
a list of interesting links that people can check out to further educate
themselves. www.mechanicalorganic.com
11. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SUGGEST WITH THE TITLE
“FLAT EARTH SOCIETY”? FOR EXAMPLE WHAT THIS SENTENCE BRINGS TO MY MIND
IS THE FACT THAT MOST CONTEMPORARY AND CIVILIZED PEOPLE HAVE AND USE TECHNOLOGY
WITHOUT KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING IT. WE JUST USE WHAT OTHERS OFFER US
WITHOUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT’S GOING ON… AS IN THE PAST THAT PEOPLE
THOUGHT EARTH WAS FLAT WITHOUT TRYING TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH… PLEASE COMMENT
ON THAT…
Eddie: That’s exactly right. We’ve
always been fed a bunch of lies by high level people in government and
religion, it’s been happening for centuries. It’s more about keeping
people in the dark and I think we’re seeing a deliberate dumbing down of
society through our education system and of course our addiction to TV.
We simply believe what we see on TV without understanding that everything
that we’re being fed is manipulated. Truth is distorted and certain
facts are withheld, events are controlled and manipulated to make you believe
something other than the real truth. Events are manufactured to divert
attention away from thing they don’t want you to focus on. You see
this sort of thing happening every day on the news. Once you understand
this you begin to lift the veil and you begin to see through the bullshit.
It takes time to really comprehend this type of thing. You really
need to filter everything you see and read, and understand that not everything
is as it seems.
12. I FIND THE COVER ARTWORK REALLY GREAT AND
THOUGHT PROVOKING. HOWEVER, I THINK I’D LIKE YOU TO EXPLAIN ITS DETAILS
SOME MORE… I MEAN WE COULD SAY IT’S A PUZZLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS WITH OTHER
BEING MECHANICAL AND OTHERS BEING ORGANIC AND NATURAL. IS THAT JUST IT
OR IS THERE SOMETHING DEEPER TO IT? WHO CREATED IT?
Eddie: I basically take control of the
artistic duties for the band. I also developed and maintain the bands web
page as well www.mechanicalorganic.com
I enjoy digital manipulation and amateur photography; it lets me be creative
and takes my mind off the musical side of the project. I try
to gather images and photographs over a period of time and then work on
them in Photoshop. I have a lot of ideas for the next CD artwork which
I’m currently working on. It takes me quite some time to gather all
the different images and ideas and put them into some sort of acceptable
and meaningful order. I’m far from a digital genius but I do really enjoy
the challenge of artwork development. As far as the cover artwork is concerned
there is meaning behind the imagery if you look closely. There
are hidden Masonic symbols present and the Illuminati symbol the Pyramid
with the All Seeing Eye. I used the flies on the front cover to indicate
that the whole hidden conspiracy stinks of shit and that there is something
really rotten afoot. The meaning is quite subliminal but so is the
conspiracy I guess. I guess the rest of the imagery is kind of surreal
and dream like and I really like that aspect of the work.
13. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FROM NOW ON? ARE
YOU IN SEARCH OF A LABEL? WHAT DO YOU WANT A LABEL TO OFFER YOU IN ORDER
TO CUT A DEAL WITH THEM?
Eddie: Yeah, we’re looking for a suitable
label but as I mention above it’s quite difficult to pigeonhole our sound
so it’s also quite difficult to find a label that puts out this style of
music. I’m not too concerned about the whole getting signed thing.
In reality we can produce all the music ourselves in our own studio so
we don’t need a massive recording budget and we can release our music directly
to our online music store in MP3 format. We have put up an online
music store to cater to our fans that prefer buying and downloading music
online. The system works great and it now gives up the opportunity
to release music directly to our website without any major manufacturing
costs. My hope is that more bands begin to do business this way.
It cuts out the middle man (the record label) and allows bands to sell
their music directly to their fans, and that’s a good thing!!
Technology has allowed us to do everything ourselves and I couldn’t be
happier with that. However, if we do find a suitable label willing
to work with us we will definitely look into it. From a musical point
of view we’re currently working on new material and I’m really excited
about that. I have about 15 songs roughed out and I’m in the process
of polishing and arranging. It’s a slow process but the songs are
sound really fresh.
14. WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK HAVE YOU RECEIVED SO
FAR? WHICH WAS THE MOST FLATTERING COMMENT AND WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SOUND AND IMAGE?
Eddie: Generally the reviews have been
great. We’ve even receive a couple of “Album of the month/year” awards
which has been really surprising. In my opinion the most flattering kind
of comments have been stuff like: “MECHANICAL ORGANIC is the weirdest release
I have heard in a long time.” and “Mechanical Organic have shorted out
the light bulb above my head” and “it’s been a long journey trying to find
the words to describe it accurately”. I really like the fact the
reviewers are having a hard time describing what we sound like.
I have to be honest with you though, not all our reviews have been great.
We have received a couple of stinkers. It’s not that our music is
below standard in any way, I think it has more to do with our genre blending
and the reviewer not getting into the uniqueness of our sound. Not
everyone is going to get into what we do and we understand that.
When you write unique and original music you have to accept that not everyone
is going to love you. All we can do is continue to improve and expand
our sound and maybe in the future we can eventually win those people over.
It’s going to take time and it’s going to force us write more challenging
music that pushes our personal musical boundaries as well as our listeners
boundaries.
15. DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR LIVE SHOWS? WHAT
SHOULD THE FANS EXPECT TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE IN YOUR SHOWS?
Eddie: We were gearing up for live shows
but it hasn’t happened yet. We’ve been planning the live aspect of
the band for some time now but we won’t be rushing into it. There
are a number of technical issues that still need to be sorted out before
we can make this happen. We would love to play live but we’re going
to focus on recording for the time being. We want to build our profile
as well as our musical catalogue and that means we need to spend as much
time in the recording studio as possible. This band is about doing
things differently; our approach to writing music is unconventional so
I’m happy to take an unconventional path with regards to playing live and
promotion. When we do eventually play live we definitely want
it to go off with a bang so we need to make sure everything is perfectly
set up. Our live set up will be quite extensive and we need to put
a lot of thought into all the different aspect of the gear.
16. COULD YOU NAME SOME OF YOUR MOST BELOVED BANDS
AND ALBUMS? WHO WERE THOSE MUSICIANS THAT HELPED YOU REALIZE THIS IS THE
MUSIC YOU LIKE AND ENJOY THE MOST?
Eddie: At the moment I’m going through
a real nostalgia phase so I’m listening to some of the stuff I really loved
10 years ago. Today I spun Psychotic Waltz’s “Mosquito” and “Bleeding”
albums. I absolutely love their first two albums but these two are
a little straighter and easier to get into. I’m a huge fan of Devon
Graves. I think he’s one of the best singers going around today.
He sings with so much feeling and emotion, awesome singer!!! Love “Dead
Soul Tribe” as well. I also just listened to the new Muse album which
I thought was fantastic, really different to their other stuff. Whenever
I get asked a question like this I always say “everything I have ever heard
has influenced me to some degree”. I have a really vast eclectic
collection of CD’s so it’s really hard for me to name just a few that have
influenced my writing. So I guess I just stick to my usual answer.
17. AUSTRALIA HAS A SMALL AND YET POWERFUL AND
SOULFUL UNDERGROUND SCENE. SO, PINPOINT SOME BANDS YOU THINK DESERVE OUR
ATTENTION…
Eddie: I don’t get out as much as I
would like these days due to music and other things that demand my time.
But I have seen a couple of Australian bands that blew my doors off.
I saw a band named “Cog” play a gig recently and they really put on a great
show. I wasn’t expecting to be that impressed but I couldn’t believe
how good they were live. Also, a while ago I went to see Conrad’s
other band “Furious George” play live and was equals impressed. They’re
all great musicians and the music is really heavy and intricate.
I was actually really intimidated by the power of that gig, I was absolutely
blown away. They are awesome musicians, I mean ridiculously good,
and they have incredible stage presents. They put on a fantastic
show that night and I’m really looking forward to their next gig in a few
days time. They’re also recording an album right now so Conrad is
very busy with music at the moment. I’m sure you’ll be hearing
much more from them in the very near future so keep your eyes peeled for
“Furious George”!!! Very good band indeed!!!
18. IF YOUR MUSIC WERE AN EMOTION, WHAT WOULD
IT BE? IF IT WERE A PAINTING, WHAT WOULD IT SHOW?
Eddie: That’s a really hard question.
I don’t thing there is any one emotion that would accurately describe our
sound. We use lots of different emotions in our music to paint a
picture such as anger, depression, melancholy, sadness, despair, but we
also balance that with more positive vibe or feeling. Same can be
said for the painting analogy, every song and every new album will paint
a different picture. Each will be unique, individual and a work of
art in its own right.
19. WHAT’S THE WEIRDEST OR FUNNIEST QUESTION YOU’VE
BEEN ASKED?
Eddie: Probably the one before this
one!!! :o)
20. WHAT’S THE IDEAL TITLE FOR MECHANICAL ORGANIC’S
MUSIC AND ESSENCE?
Eddie: That’s a very hard question also but
I will give it a shot. I guess I would call our sound heavy in nature
with an electronic, industrial and progressive twist. I tend to use
lots of layers in our music so the sound is really thick with instrumentation.
I use tons of keyboards, samples and sequences in the writing process and
we then add all the guitar parts to support and heavy up the material.
If you were to examine each layer individually you would find that they
are not overly technical however once they are all added together they
intertwine and weave in and out of one another to form a complex web.
When I sing I tend to use extensive layers. My voice is kind of gentle
and melodic and I tend to thicken my parts by layering. I also like
to experiment with extensive vocal harmonies to support my vocal parts
and to give them a kind of choir effect. I also like to use trippy
vocal effects, anything to make it sound a little out there. I guess our
music is melodic, intellectual, layered, heavy, experimental, kind of progressive
and not for the faint of heart. But it’s not overly technical or
experimental. Well, that’s the best I can do, I guess I really have
no idea of what or who we sound like.
21. THANK YOU! THESE LINES ARE YOURS. LEAVE YOUR
MESSAGE TO THE METALLERS…
Eddie: Thanks you so much for the interview,
it was fun and it also made my brain hurt. :o) I guess I simply want
to say that we basically already have an album’s worth or rough song ideas
already down with basic vocal melodies and harmonies recorded. I’ve
written lyrics for all of them so that part of the process is done.
I’m working my way through the songs one by one to hammer them into shape
and basically expanding all the musical ideas. I’m very happy with
the writing process and the way the songs are sounding. From a lyrics
perspective this album will be much more theme based and very heavy on
conspiracy. Each song will look at different aspect of the corruption
taking place in high level politics. Some of the subject matter I
will be tackling this time around will be, The Illuminati, Secret Societies,
9/11, Multi Stalking, Mind Control, Media Control and The Hegelian Dialectic.
Each song will have a short industrial introduction accompanied by excerpts
taken from a conspiracy theory radio podcast. This next album will
probably be released in separate parts so it may span 2 or 3 CD’s.
It’s going to be an enormous challenge putting this together and I can’t
wait to release Part 1. That’s about it for now. Thanks
again for the interview and I look forward to sending you the new CD for
review when it’s finally released. To all the fans, thank you for
your support and kind e-mails. Keep checking for news updates at
