In the Works: Fratricide Demo (EP) Part 5

The Fratricide demo/ep is pretty much complete and now we're just waiting on getting it printed and distro'd.

What does the final product sound like? A demo. A somewhat higher production value demo than most, but a demo nonetheless. Frustration has been a continuous part of putting together a simple 4-song product. I won't go into details. I'm not a perfectionist, but I am nit-picky. I've nit-picked a LOT of stuff. From liner notes for the CD to the final mix itself. There comes a point where you just have to accept what you have and move on.

Will there be a full-length Fratricide? Rob is pushing forward with writing lyrics and is involving himself in writing the music for two song titles I created: "Preparing the Grinder for Angelic Remains" and "Through Scorched Heavenly Valleys, We March". Meanwhile I haven't been doing anything except concentrating on script writing and filmmaking. I haven't taken out my guitar since recording finalized in mid-May.

To tell the truth, I'm not that interested in pursuing it further. If the demo gets "rave" reviews, that's great. If it gets panned, who cares. I set out to do what has been in the works for years and now it's almost complete. Longevity and continuing Fratricide was never on my mind when starting this. Only to create something and have fun with it. The fun part faded a while ago.

So I guess if you're reading this after the release, like it, and are disappointed by what I wrote. Let me know. I give in easily to peer pressure if comments are positive. If you hate what you heard and need steel wool cue tips to jam into your ears, let me know that as well. I'll politely say "thank you" and will wish you a belated or early happy birthday. That's how I roll. Now let's play some Yahtzee.
