This song is about the Earth before it had an atmosphere. As if before it had the atmospheric shroud the young planet was holding its breath. This sits with another track called To Crack A Planets Skin (not yet to be uploaded) and they both come just before From The Core.

Based around the first of 3 Snowball Earths Iceidian Shroud for me was the first breakthrough to a more competent sounding riff than my previous efforts. It was written before the other 4 songs I currently have on Soundcloud.
I have yet (as for all my songs) to put some real drums to it. I also feel I need to slightly lengthen the gap between the first part of the song and the middle bridge. I am however really happy with the guitar sound I got from both amps as I only have one axe to grind.

Enjoy

Here I have added a rough bass track and a vocal idea I am thinking of using for most if not all my songs. Kind of an Ethereal Narrator. All of you seem to like this song the most which is awesome so I thought I would use it as a sounding borad for your thoughts on mainly the vocal idea and if you think it kills or works well with my music.

From The Core Full Demo (c) 2011

2 songs that were recorded some time ago.  
Fallen Trees is the first song I've recorded my Acoustic drums to instead of the Electric kit I used to have.
The Sun Warms The Earth is part of the original run of Demos I recorded when I started Glacialpath

The Sun Warms The Earth (Demo)

Fallen Trees (Demo)

This song is about the Earth in its very infancy. The clash it had with a sister planet that some say became the Moon and the molten body of the planet settling down after. Then it had to put up with the Heavy Late Bombardment during the Hadean period which of course is what my other song Hail From The Hadean Armies is about.
My first ever guitar solo of which I am proud, being that I am a drummer haha! Still no bass on this one either. When I get to put the songs on my album they will go From the Core, Hail... then Unstable and it is the middle of the album.

I started the project about a year ago under the Name White Tusk. I used to be in a band called The Elephant Asylum and was kind of going off the back of that. T.E.A was the ultimate band to be in for me and so once it disbanded I wanted to do something of my own in the same vein. A kind of no rules music that sounds huge and epic, with a lot of passion and feel.

So here we are “Glacial Path” was born once I found a better name than White Tusk. As the project has developed I believe it has taken on its own unique form in that I have made it a concept project based on the birth and growth of our beloved Planet Earth.

I have become so fascinated with our home and feel I can bring to my listeners not just an epic musical journey but hopefully some fascinating facts and insight into the history of this glorious  planet.

As for me. I started my music life on the Drums and got into my first band at 16. It is still my main instrument today. I’ve been playing for 22 (ouch) years….sorry I can’t believe its been that long. I taught my self to start with then had some lessons from a 6th former at school for a couple of years. From then and till 1999 when I went to Drumtech and did a Diploma I was bashing away with out help. Since then I’ve been  on my own again mainly crafting my own style but soaking up ideas and inspiration from the likes of Nicko McBrain, Thomas Haake, Brann Dailor and Nicholas Barker along the way.

One day I had the great idea of buying a guitar and a little 10watt amp (that you will hear in the recordings) I taught myself guitar also and have never had  a lesson…yeah I know it shows LOL….Guitar wise my inspiration started out with Opeth> Then when I joined the band that became The Elephant Asylum they opened me up to a whole new way of playing. I got into bands like Cult Of Luna, Mastodon, Crowbar, Converge  and so on. I have to say, despite all those awesome bands I think my main inspiration for Glacial Path is still The Elephant Asylum and the main Guitarist from that band Leo Stuart
