Another Day

Here we are back again. Well, I wish I had more to report. We have not done much in the past few weeks toward the completion of the record. I am working on a barter/trade thing with a web designer to design and produce our webpage for the record. Judging from some of the examples he has shown me, it looks like it will be pretty wicked professional. The idea is to have a one page website dedicated to the album. I want to stream the whole record on this page as well as provide any information as far as shows and news.(and of course how to BUY the record....NICE!!) I took a night shift at my job so the guys have been having practice without me :( Good news for any fans out there as they have been learning new songs for the NEXT record. Also,Kevin accidentally deleted some to the files for an intro that I did. I will have to redo that and finish up some additional back up vocals. Kevin has been mixing the songs in the mean time and we have been listening to them to determine if any changes need to be made...sheesh. With August coming up tomorrow, a NOVEMBER 07' release date is slipping away. There is an overall lack of motivation right now that needs to be changed (I include myself as well). I still need to finish the layout for the cd but I have been to lazy to work on it. THAT CHANGES TODAY!! I AM GOING TO BLOG AGAIN EVERYDAY AND MAKE SOME SORT OF PROGRESS E-V-E-R-Y D-A-Y!!!!! Tonight I will work on the layout and record the extra backups for at least one song!!

LETS DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS!!!

WICKED!!!!!!!!

Boo- YA!~

Salutations!,
Sorry about not posting as often as I promised.We ran into an issue with the Internet at the studio,my primary place of blogging!! Any who, Progress is going good!
As Kevin began doing all the preliminary mixes he noted that the recording of the drums on one of the songs was sub par...So Ricardo RE-RECORDED it. Also He recorded a little fun extra(you will have to wait for the record to find out..HA!!) I have been listening to the initial mixes and have noted some areas that may need additional harmony backup vocals;However, we are still making great strides in regards to what I will call Administrative aspects of the record. such as: album art,production and distribution.
We are currently in the process of redesigning our myspace.. very soon we will be posting one of the finished songs there. Also Once the record is complete we will be putting up a special site for the Album in which we will stream the whole record!!! SHWEEET!
I hope you are telling your friends (although they won't believe you!! they will say Samuel Caldwell's Revenge has had a record coming out for almost 2 years..Bah!)
Just so you guys know we have already began work on our second release, I have about three skeletons of songs and Will has....well a virtual plethora of songs...So the next record will NOT take as long!!!

WICKED!!

looks like the boys are having some internet issues so i figured i'd take it upon myself to write a post.. we started working on new material monday. we learned a song i wrote a while back titled "demon killing spree under a full moon". there are no lyrics i just thought that title sounded kinda cool.. we made it through the song a few times and i think we all enjoyed where it was going. later that night i imported it to nuendo and edited it to the final structure we had come up with. i finished writing a bridge and solo for another song ive been working on today.. its gonna be mega wicked!

we are sitting on enough material to write our next two albums its just a matter of learning it all. ive got tons of songs ready to go.. tonys got boxes of lyrics.. and shaun always has something up his sleave so theres no reason why we shouldnt be able to make our next few records happen. sometimes i wonder how much if at all anyone else practices in their own time though.. it would be nice not having to re-learn everything over and over again because nobody remembers what happened the week before, which was most likeley the last time they even attempted to play.. meh. i'm moody today.. every time we play a show or make a step forward we seem to fall into a cushion of sorts and lose momentum. i just dont want to see that happen again.

on that note i'll say i'm trying to put a few more shows together from scratch. seeing as how we almost never play with bands in a similar genre as us, this should make for some wicked awesome shows. i got mike vendetta looking out on the fort worth scene but havent heard much about it, im trying to focus on denton and austin shows.
gotta keep this thing going, plus it always looks nice to have a few dates on your website so people know your serious..

in other news i got a flat tire on my car, blew a tube in my jcm 900, a dog ate my glasses and the rain finally stopped only to reveal a disgusting, hot and humid day.. did i mention im cranky? haha ok thats my 2 cents! i'll post again soon!!

One Shall Stand...

...And one shall fall. That is the famous line from Transformers. In the cartoon, Optimus Prime dies from wounds inflicted by the evil Megatron. In the movie there is a twist, which I will not disclose. I begin this blog with Transformers because I feel it is my responsibility to tell the world about responsiblity, and transformation.

Yes, Samuel Caldwell's Revenge has the power to transform the world much like the Transformers in the "Transformers" movie transform Earth. You must allow Samuel Caldwell's Revenge to transform you. You may ask: How do I go about doing this? Well, you must purchase, listen to, and unite with The Power to Consume Ourselves (a Samuel Caldwell's Revenge production). Much like it is my responsibility to tell you about this upcoming transformation, it is your responsiblity to stand with us - Samuel Caldwell's Revenge.

I must stress the connection between Transformers, and Samuel Caldwell's Revenge. We (Samuel Caldwell's Revenge) are like the Transformers that will transform the Earth, and you are like the incredible human beings that allow the tranformation to transform you. Yes, I know it sounds incredibly difficult and philosophical, but the beginning of all good transformation seems like this at first.

So, at the end of this blog "One shall stand, and one shall fall." Will you stand with Optimus Prime, and Samuel Caldwell's Revenge? Or, will you fall with Megatron and his Deceptacons? You choose. We have already chosen. Choose with us. Choose us.
