Third track off of our debut album, Signal Failure.  It's a bit on the moodier side, but it has a nice heavy bridge.  Again, this should appeal to fans of Tool, NIN, OSI, Chroma Key, Porcupine Tree, etc.

03 Leave Now

Probably the most musically and structurally interesting song off the album.  This is the last song we wrote for Signal Failure and is more of an indication of where we're heading with our upcoming album.

06 Better Off

This is a reboot of the first song John and I wrote together as an established "band". We had some material before this, but those songs were written before we ever met. While this song doesn't sound like what we're currently doing, we had a blast re-working it and wanted to share it with our fans. We are planning to re-write/re-record a handful of tracks from our unreleased album, The Noise Within, and release them one way or another sometime down the road.

Lyrics:

Waking in life,
or am I?
The temples topple.
The rivers run dry.
The heavens are burning 
and perverting the night.
The smoke descends and
ruins twilight.
But I have been lost
and opted without
for all of my life
with all of my doubts.

And as the world distorts and blurs
my senses cross and I lose I learned.
I can feel it slipping away
and for what it destroys, I wish it would stay.

Cold and gray 
and feasting like rats,
our passions fade
as we laugh and grow fat.
Numbly strutting
so blithely along--
with smoke in our eyes,
we're humming no songs.
Liars, thieves, 
and rapists, we--
pornographic disturbances
and reapers of dreams.
All of my life...
where have I been?
Supping the trough
and feeding the sin.

And as the world distorts and blurs
my senses cross and I lose I learned.
I can feel it slipping away
and for what it destroys, I wish it would stay.
As the world distorts and blurs
my senses cross and intentions reverse.
I can feel it tearing apart
and decaying to dust right back to the start.

Distort and Blur

Clip of the Gravediggers demo as was recorded the weekend of 10.8.11. This song is set to be the title track on our third record, which will follow North Atlantic Echoes. The image file used for the artwork is placeholder imagery; we do not own the license to it. 

Gravediggers Clip

Over the past eight days we've banged out an instrumental demo. Drums are currently programmed, and no vocal parts have been written yet. Obviously, the mix is very rough and impermanent. 

Afterflame

Rough mix/unmastered version of Thunderstorms, the second song off of North Atlantic Echoes. Enjoy!

Thunderstorms

So this is how we choose to spend our New Year's Eve weekend? Apparently so.

Since we both like writing music in different styles (which hopefully all coalesce into "our sound" at some point), we have a tendency to write for multiple different albums at a time-- some of which might not even be third or fourth in line. This is one of those. Without divulging the idea behind what we're doing, this is a demo track from a collection of tunes that probably won't see the light of day for some time yet. But what the hell? Why not?

You bear your teeth
to get inside.
You come for me
where I hide.

You know my name.
You know my face.
You've chosen me
to be erased.

You bear your teeth
and I come clean.
You cut through me
like I'm nothing.

You know my name.
You know my face.
You know that I
can be replaced.

Maybe we've been alone
all along.
Maybe we've been afraid,
but paraded like we're strong.
And maybe the world was never meant for us,
and that it's time we slipped away.
Maybe the life we tried to lead
was as fleeting as the day.

But you know my name.
You know my face.
You've chosen me
to be erased.

You bear your teeth
to get inside.  
You come for me
where I hide.
You know my lies.
You know my fears.
You know that I
can disappear. 

Bearing Your Teeth

This is a one-off track I recently did with Kevin Moore.  I originally wrote the music during In Progress's Signal Failure sessions, but nothing ever came of it.  After working with Kevin on In Progress - North Atlantic Echoes, I reached out to him to contribute vocals and some drum programming.  I'm really excited with how it turned out and wanted to share it with everyone.  Please note that this is just a rough mix/demo.  Hope you enjoy!

Plan B (ft. Kevin Moore)

We finally have our first official mixed/mastered single off of North Atlantic Echoes.  Behold, Chasing Ghosts!  

Big thanks to Kevin Moore who provided additional programming, additional keyboards/textures, and background vocals.  And big thanks to Dan Willett of Univibe Audio who is going to be responsible for the completion of this EP.

Chasing Ghosts

This is a track from our follow up to North Atlantic Echoes called Gravediggers. To say the least, this is not a final mix of the song. The drums here are performed by Rickard Langnesund, a fantastically talented Swedish drummer whom we are very excited to be working with on the album!
