Hey all,
Chad Nottingham here. Just a quick update: the tracking for Hate Asylum has been finished! There are 4 songs on the EP, which totals 16.5 minutes. The songs are, in order: To Wander Forever Amongst Dreams of Nightmares, Blood War, Hate Asylum, and The Release of Chaos. The main lyrical themes of the album are loss of love, insanity, September 11th (Blood War), and of course, hate. The album artwork is in progress now, so that will determine when the release date is. There will be 2 versions: a low quality (128 kbps) free download available via my myspace, and a $5 hard copy high quality version, available through me, though the last one depends on interest, because I can only order 10/25 at a time. So help a struggling musician out.

Projects and What's Going On
Hey all,
Chad here again. I figured I'd talk about some of the projects I have, what's going on with them, and what all is going on with me. As many of you know, I am a die hard metalhead, so all of my musical projects revolve around a central core of metal. The instrumentation, however, is a different story altogether, and I will explain how.
The most fitting place to begin is the musical project with perhaps the most history: The Fall of the Heretic. The name is a reference to Lucifer, the greatest heretic. I started TFOTH off with a very metalcore sound, with a raw guitar sound and a terrible drum program. Eventually, however, I started to evolve my sound to where it was before I put Heretic on hold, which was a technical metal sound inspired by Meshuggah. When another of my projects started to interfere with Heretic, I placed it on hold until I could get some of the other rigamarole off of my plate. Recently, I have brought TFOTH back to life, and the style of Heretic has changed, revolving around a heavy groove. The official genre of Heretic is experimental metal. A logo was recently drawn for me, and it is shown below.
The next project I am going to talk about is not going to be Decaying My Youth. If you want to read about that one, you can browse my posts below. Skyfallen is the next project on my docket. The name was influenced by Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, in which they have a code called "Skyfall", which means escape and extraction mode. The name is talking about being on the run from something. The sound is very Gothenburg, with a twist. The first song that will be coming out for Skyfallen will be entitled "Core Creation", and it is part of a 2 song demo that will be released whenever it is ready. I do not have a logo for this band at the moment.
The last project I have to talk about is different than anything I've done in the past: Damnum Animus. The name is Latin, meaning loss of soul, which is fitting, because the music is DBM, or depressive black metal. The song style is often very slow, with thick keyboard lines and clean and distorted guitars overlapped. The drums are very spacey, and the vocals sound like they are in a stairwell, with lots of reverb. The album progress has been stalled because of lack of inspiration, but sometime in the future, a 3 song demo entitled "Sanity: The Lies of the Father" will be released, with songs such as "The Lies of the Father" and "The Last of My Kind".
What's going on in my life? Well, school has started back up, unfortunately. I am taking Latin, so those of you who know my music well can expect a lot more Latin snippets in the lyrics. I do expect to release a physical copy of "Hate Asylum", the new album for Heretic, within the next few months. There will be strictly 10 copies in existence, unless there is a sudden burst in interest.
That's all for this time I think.
Until next time, stay metal,
Chad
