The bands taking a break for two weeks, seeing as all of us have things going on in the weeks to come, I thought I would take time to talk about a project all of us are going to be involved in probably this summer or next fall. Nic Montgomery and Joe Shoemaker are in charge of a project entitled Tower of Nihasa. Nic and Joe write the songs, and have different artist come in and record them. They have about three cds out now. I got asked to play on it last fall, Joe approached me after a show and pitched me the idea and I was more than happy to be involved. This next album is going to the projects greatest yet. He has people from all over, coming to record. Examples would be both vocalists from Clinging To The Trees of a Forest Fire (Denver) and Black Sleep of Kali (Minneapolis), plus locals Each song will not contain the same people. Several guitarists, bassists, vocalists and drummer will record on the album. Once everything is finished, we'll perform the album at the cd's release show with everyone. Joe was thinking possibly having it in Denver?

The album will be entitled "The Careless Birth Giver". The concept behind the album is the birth of a universe. The begining of a universe starts with stars, magnesium, benstract cicilium, hydrogen, ect.. are needed to compose a star, so the album will start of soft, light and melodic. Then iron and lead are also needed to compose a start, so then the album will get heavier and darker. You will hear the album progress from light to dark throughout the birth of a universe on the cd.
