This Time It's Gonna Hurt

If I Could

an in your face Hard Rock song that was recorded live & featured identical female twin lead guitarists from Poland.

Path (Live)ACID Splash

This song was originally recorded live in 1994 with the band Cynikal Existence as an opening song & I always wanted to do the songs that were recorded live & do them in a studio environment....which I have now done.

the song is exactly as it was recorded live in 1994 but with cleaned up vocals and re-written some lyrics that were botched in the live mix.
Enjoy   \m/
