Dude, you have more plays in my last fm than Genesis and Tool combined.

Whoa. Cool. Why don't you speak up?

Anyone else feel like giving some feedback?

Listened to some songs and really liked them. Also, I really like working with Photoshop, so if you would like to, I would love to have the honor to make a cover for your next album as a form of appreciation for your music.

So, the next album's called Harvest the Wind. It's not going to be anything like any of my previous albums. For a while now, I've wanted to do an album like Devin Townsend's "Ki" or Buckethead's "Colma", but I've never been able to write enough material. Since I feel I've exhausted my capabilities for the time being with A Dream of Sheep, I feel it's finally time to sit down and get this one out.

Overall, I'm really liking the vibe I'm getting off of this. I've got a lot of songs that are very peaceful and serene, but there's also songs that sound rather unsettling. I'm loving the direction it's heading. Some random song titles include "Refresh, Miracle, Shadow, Void, and Solar".

Special thanks to Rafael Guerra for the album artwork.

Another little update: I've been writing like madness, and I have enough material for two albums. One will be the soft, ethereal Harvest the Wind, and the other will be the heavier The Grand Design. The Grand Design is going to have a rather lengthy epic, much like Afterlife off of Alternate Universe.

I'd like to have these done in March, but recording two albums is going to take some time, so May might be more realistic.

Yeah, I know. Sometimes freaky things like that happen.

Harvest the Wind has been released. As stated before, it's not a heavy album by any stretch of the word, but I'm proud of it. Check it out and give some feedback, please.

I quite liked it.  Made for some good studying music.  There were some songs where the riffs sounded like acoustic Metallica or something.

New song posted in the OP. It's called Sink Rate. Album cover posted as well. Release looks like it'll be before the end of April.

Nice! Really enjoyed your personal "Octavarium" (the title track), it blends a lot of styles and as usual, is packed with catchy guitar riffs! I also enjoyed Sink Rate very much. It's very different from Harvest The Wind, yet I think both of these recent albums are your best work IMO. Highly recommended.

Listened to some of the songs you have on Soundcloud and also on Journey to Arrythmia. You got serious chops, mate!

Thanks man, I appreciate it.
