One thing that I think differentiates this SN album from all the ones that have come before (aside from the shorter than usual track lengths) is it's the first one where the majority of the tracks have vocals (indeed, there are only 3 instrumentals). Over the years I've written out lyrics/melodies for a number of songs, but very rarely have I bothered to record them, but this time around I wanted to challenge myself a bit and I felt the time was right to go about doing that (and some of these lyrics go back a long ways: "Gray Day" was written around 2007-2008). The album will also have a cover song (another thing I don't do very often), in this case a cover of Suicide's "Rain of Ruin." Also, like FIRST REPORT, THE BLACK OMEN album (and the Death Head Moth's SECOND REPORT), the album is entirely MIDI, with the exception (obviously) of the vocals.

I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you've gotten hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the difficulty is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for one thing referring to this. casino slots
