My sincerest thanks to all that have listened and commented. As I have mentioned before, this is a Project for all on the site. If not for you, we could not..we WOULD not do this. Your support is absolutely essential. And just look, it has brought our beloved drummer Thumper out of the shadows and into our family! Seeing posts from this wonderful man is very special to me.
Scorp, you are absolutely right! At no point did we ever even consider doing the songs exactly like Priest. We are not Priest! Further, I am not Rob!!! Since the very first album, we have tried to give the songs our "spin". Our "sound". You will note the subtleties in MM's guitars and, of course, my vocal changes in the songs. All of this is by design. We have always wanted to pay tribute to Priest, not be them. When you hear one of our songs, we want it to be easy to identify. That was our intent, anyway!
The songs MM has posted are just a taste of what is to come! The album will be full of little surprises and some very fine music. That is our promise to you. I am looking forward to the release! It is still far from completed, as we have told you. These darn things really do take a lot of time and work. MM and Thumper have more work to do next week AND we have Thanksgiving right smack dab in the middle of it all!! We all have families and time is very precious. Once the guys are done with the remaining tracks, we still have post production and whatnot. All very time consuming with the holidays added! I would not expect to see the album until well into the New Year.
