I can play the triangle Deep Freeze --do ya think you have a part for me ??
[Deep Freeze] Friday, October 31, 2008 7:19:29 AM 
Thanks, gang! I am very excited about this new album and I know MM is as well. From what I have been told, metallark can really blow so I would anticipate one hell of an album!!!!!!!! Look for a much better quality on this one, not to mention improved talent!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can assure you all that this one will far surpass Raw Steel! And as for you, Guido.....I think MM is handling the tuba parts but, if you play the washboard or the "jug", you are in!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the song listing for the new CD guys!  Should be a most worthwhile metal experience for my ears!  Any chance I can get a copy of the full CD along with the new one?

Deep Freeze, you are not alone my friend!!  

Growing up I was pretty good in sports.  I lived and breathed baseball and football.  For years that's all I did, sun up to sun down.  In my case, it was too difficult to balance sports and the dedication necessary to excel against my love for concerts, partying and the girls!!  Damn them all!! 

I wound up joining the Marines and eventually got married and all the stuff that goes along with it.  I still kick myself in the ass for not (at least trying to) follow my dreams.

Oh well, you found an outlet here and I'm glad you and the rest of the guys are sharing that with us.  For me, I still play softball and through my daughter's activities I still feel a part of a team!!

Way to go Metallark!!! 

I've only heard a couple tracks off Raw Steel, and I'm really looking forward to the new effort.

If had just one ounce of musical talent, I'd be there.  All I can do is BANG MY HEAD!!!!! 

Good luck guys!!!

[Deep Freeze] Tuesday, October 28, 2008 6:52:08 AM 
I have been pondering lately just what it is about this Project that means so much to me. Something stirs inside me and I get very excited. It is more than just making the music. It is more than the friendships. What is it? I think I finally understand.

The Princess has pointed out, on occassion, that I may have made one of those "life mistakes" we all make when I chose not to follow my "Rock and Roll" dreams at a young age. Although I was in bands and enjoying that lifestyle, I chose to stay in school, get a degree and be a "contributing" member of society. Have a family, build a career. You get the idea. I guess it never occurred to me that I may have the talent to be a "rockstar".

This Project gives me an opportunity to live a part of my life long since past. In the dim shadows of yesterday, there are images. Ghosts that move silently in my mind, and music. I can hear the music. It plays like an endless loop, over and over. The songs. The chords. The beat. I can hear it just as if I were there again. I see in these same shadows, the faces. Faces of people long since dissolved into my distant memories. The roar of the crowd as the music plays..and plays...The music.

I suppose there is something in everyone that yearns to be a child again. To be young and have opportunities long since gone. Perhaps I live that part, albeit briefly, when I have that microphone in front of me?  For that second or two in time, I am young again and I have that chance again. The chance to be more. To live a life I might have lived. To travel a path I could have traveled. To be....someone else. To experience what Rob does. What KK does. To be them.

I have lived a wonderful life, my friends. I have done and seen things I never thought I would. Success is measured in terms of satisfaction for me, not just dollars. I have had success beyond my dreams. I am here, now. I have friends from all over the world and I have happiness. Regardless of what I have or have NOT done in my life, I have happiness. For me, that is the greatest of all achievements. What was will always be just a dream. What could have been remains floating in my mind. What is makes me smile. Thank you all for your part in that.

Exactly. I really believe that we captured that essence with Raw Steel. Of course, the songs we picked were very easy songs. This time around, we are really stepping it up and doing more difficult material. We really want this album to be a leap forward and a better product. By taking the lessons we learned from Raw Steel, we can produce a better album but the question remains, can we pull off the material from a musical standpoint? I guess that is what is concerning me so much. I do not want to let everyone down by trying to do something I am not capable of doing and ending up with a train wreck, you see?
[Head banger] Friday, October 24, 2008 5:42:06 PM 
yep, it still needs to sound JP like.

Very good point, HB. However, keep in mind that we always try to remain true to the Priest sound. With Demonizer, it is pure Rob. I mean, I am not sure how many of you really notice it but it is Rob Halford, through and through. Try singing it and you will see what I am talking about! Anyway, I am getting better. I have been working on  it to the exclusion of all other songs and it is starting to sound a lot better!!

thats right, if we wanted it to sound the same, you could rip the songs from a jp cd and compile that.  the point is to sound like you.

Well my friend,  I understand that BUT the fact is, I don't sound as good as Rob, studio OR live! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess what I am saying is, we can make do without the keyboards and still have a nice sound!

Excellent news on Exciter! I love that song. Do we actually need keyboards on TOE?? I mean, they don't use them live, do they? I cannot recall but I think Glenn just plays the parts.
On another note, Demonizer is starting to come together for me. Still very tough on me vocally but I think we can make it work.  Should sound pretty cool.

Exciter is recorded and sounds hot!! The faster live version!!

We have Between the Hammer and the Anvil and Touch of Evil from Painkiller. I don't think we are doing more than two songs from that album but I am not certain.

[Deep Freeze] Thursday, October 23, 2008 5:05:04 PM 

That's exactly right, guido! I have been reviewing the live recordings for help. I have a "bootleg" of their latest show and I am using that for  Hammer and the Anvil, although I do not intend to do it exactly the way they are doing it. I believe we are going to do Prophecy. We may also do Alone, but I am not sure. Prophecy is very easy for me. We do want to have at least one new song on the CD. We will be doing Judas Rising and I plan to do my part the same way as you hear it on RIE. Very simple, no high notes.

I believe that we have chosen songs that fit my limitations. We are considering Exciter but, again, I will do it like they did on RIE. All lower register. Demonizer is not so much a problem due to high notes, it is the screaming style.  My throat is raw right now. Besides, I do NOT want to "throw a rod".....HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is also what Priest currently does with a lot of high notes. Uses guitar instead of vocals to hit the high notes.

Ever, by chance, hear David Grisman & Sons do "Hot for Teacher?" It is on an album called "Strummin' with the Devil." Really interesting album but that song, in particular, has no vocals at all. Grisman is, without question, one of the greatest mandolin players ever. As I play that particular instrument, I was interested to hear how he would do it. In short, he has a fiddle essentially mimic all DLR's vocals. Worked very well. I would be thinking along the same lines.

I'd also suggest what I mentioned before. Look at what Priest is CURRENTLY doing in terms of song selection as well as how they do it. They are taking their own limitations into account now and are tuning down and using other methods to compensate in their songs. Thus, my first suggestion of including some Nostra tunes. IMO, most if not all were written with knowledge of the Metal God's vocal register NOW in mind. Trying to hit the super highs of the 70s? You'd throw a vocal rod.
[Deep Freeze] Thursday, October 23, 2008 4:43:57 PM 
That's right, MM! We did. And thank you, Val. I appreciate that you thought it out and gave a suggestion. However, I am talking about the entire song, not the high parts. I have no intention of trying to do those anyway! The song itself is just very hard on my voice. It is actually perfect for Rob. Typical of his vocal style but it is very hard on me. I spent an enormous amount of time on it today and it started sounding pretty good once I stopped trying to be Rob and started trying to just sing the song. I think it will turn out OK.

Thanks again, Val! Glad to know someone is out there and showing some interest!!!!!!

Are you talking about the screaming part near the end of the song? You can have MM play the notes to the screaming DEMONIZAAAAAAAHHH!!!!! part, and you can say "Out...out...out, demons out!" Sounds weird, but it might work. Just make the guitar extra loud in that screaming part.

OK folks!!!!...., I am putting out a "VOCAL 911" to any of you that might help! I am having a very difficult time with Demonizer! I am no Rob, as we all know! Unfortunately, this song is done in such a way as to lend itself to Rob's unique vocal screams. There are parts that I can do and others that sound just awful! Anyone have an idea or two????

Well gang, I pick up our travel itinerary today!! Everything seems to be falling into place! Had some great conversations with MM yesterday and we appear to have the majority of the songs ready to record. Time always being a factor, we are still listening for suggestions but here are the songs we plan to record :
Judas Rising
Demonizer
Delivering the Goods
Metal Gods
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Never Satisfied
Wheels of Fire
Hot Rockin
Touch of Evil
Jawbreaker
Eat me Alive
The Rage
Exciter
**Forever Young** (original)
We have another original that we are working on as well as possibly doing Hellrider, Prophecy and Alone. Certainly we would like to do something off of Nostradamus if we can. Being somewhat experienced in doing this, we hope to be able to get all of this material recorded and have time for a couple more.
