powerful delivery guys, pushin' those boundaries.

This leaped out of speakers:))) Good for listening to it again. Fine Hard Rockin' collab. Hope you are doing well, Lee.

"Before The Battle" is a superb Prog Metal Rocking piece of music Stefan posted a few months ago on his cloud. It was very much one of those pieces that instantly appealed to me to do something with. Now this week at last I have finally been able to get around to working on it and this is the end result, to which I am well pleased with.

For best results I suggest you play LOUD and follow the lyrics as the chorus sections do contain me speaking in a dark evil voice which may be hard to catch all the lyrics without reading them as you go along. 

I would like to thank my good friend Stefan for giving me the opportunity to work on his truly Fantastic music, and this one purely ROCKS and I hope you enjoy....

The song as been made available as a free digital download @ Bandcamp and can be had from the link here: https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/before-the-battle

Before The Battle (Music by S. Kruger/Words by L.C. Lucas)

Lee Lucas - Vocals - Artwork
Rock Flexible - Guitars - Bass - Drum Programming.

The lyrics are as follows:

The hours upon us
we must prepare for the battle ahead
they'll know were coming 
so best make hast and be prepared
with Faith among us
we must be strong and stand up tall
show no fear for the enemy 
take courage and we'll win the war

With our life's in our hands
we will make a stand
and fight to the death
and shed blood and fear across their land

Before the battle
we must be prepared for war
Before the battle
we must sharpen all our swords
Before the battle
Before the Battle 

In the battle we will show our rage
let them feel the wrath of our swords
we must not be afraid
not when it comes to war

Don't ask for mercy none will be give
fight for your life it's yours to live
have the courage and the might
to take yourself
through this fight
and you will win my friend...

We must make a stand
with our life's in our hands
we must be prepared
for the battle ahead
we must stand up tall
and take them all
fight to the death
and shed blood and fear across their land
their land

Lee Lucas & Rock Flexible - Before The Battle

I very much started out playing instruments very late in life, and spent much of my earlier days listening to it, rather than playing it. I am very much a self taught musician and regard my instruments very much like implements, tools or devices to write with, rather than being anything remotely near a good playing musician of any great technique. 

I guess I really got into instruments more back in 1994 when I got into my first band (though I did learn to play the Harmonica when I was 8 years old) it was around this time I wrote a song on the Guitar entitled Oldtime Street. The song is very much even today one that contains some of the finest lyrics I have ever written, and very much perhaps inspired me to carry on.

Though the band back in 1994 was a very short affair, it was not long after I got into a R&B band performing Rock & Blues in various pubs around my own town Birmingham. I was very much the lead singer in this outfit which lasted some 6 years. Though during these years the band had gone through several line up and name changes and came to a stop in 2001. I suppose it was a bit of relief in a sense, because it's quite easy to put a band together, but murder to keep everyone happy, and keep it going.

Even though I only really did Vocals and played my Harmonica in the band, I still found time now and then, for my guitar, and my keyboards at home, and I also contributed in a big way to our own compositions in the band.

My tools are as follows:

Studiologic VMK-188 Plus 88 Key Midi Controller Keyboard.

Yamaha PSR E303 61 Key Keyboard (Used Via Midi)

Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar.

Yamaha ERG121 Electric Guitar.

Encore E4 Bass Guitar.

Various Harmonicas in many Keys.

Alesis Performance Pad Pro Drum Machine & Pads. 

Audio Technica AT2020 USB Microphone.

Vic Firth Drum Sticks.

Various VST Software for Keyboards, Guitars & Mixing.

Cubase 5.

Ableton Live 8.

Steinberg Wavelab.

Influences are from mainly 70's Prog/Rock/Blues/Traditional Folk/Electronic Music.
