How much from Life experiences do you draw from when writing your material?

I'd say pretty much exclusively - but I would like to branch out on future work and try my hand with some different approaches...

What do you find the hardest part of the writing process? the music itself or the lyrics?

Actually, the hardest part for me is just getting started and staying in the process. Once I'm into it and flowing, it's not really that difficult. But if I had to pick a part of the process seems difficult it would either be the arrangement of the parts of the songs or maybe the choosing of the best melodies for the vox.

At the moment, no. But that's only because my production facility is currently down (my desktop computer was fried in the lightning strike last summer). As soon as I make my way over to Fry's Electronics to purchase a new system, the files are ready and waiting to be manufactured again. Stay tuned and I'll make sure to let you know when that happens...

Or, I may just go for broke and actually print up some silverbacked copies this time of each album! GEEN!

If you do, be sure to contact James Mattern at Divine Metal Distro/Open Grave Records so he can stock some.

Well, no rush, man. I really love the two albums you've done. The s/t suits my musical tastes more, but Kyna is also awesome when I'm in the right mood. Whenever you put something new together, I'll be sure to try to scrape up the cash to grab it.

And you may just get a call from me sometime, man! I have tentative plans for Scott Waters on a track, and I'd love to get Victor Griffin to guest on something if possible, among others.

But it's mainly the musicians to comprise the live band that I still need. Justin Frear has been on board for lead guitar for some time now, but I mainly need a bass and drum team to really get this thing off the ground gig-wise. At some point soon, I'll prob start doing the grunt work of advertising on Craigslist, etc. and start the sorting process for musicians again Blah...
