FREE METAL!
Hey guys! Look, the new Flesh Socket's out! Wheeeeeee!
So this makes me obscenely happy, and I'm not honestly sure why. Something about having a part in the musical process, even if I'm just screaming. Also, I've gotten a bit more into black/death metal since we did the last one, and I'm really happy with the vocal direction that we've been taking, as well as the progress that Parker and Andy were able to make on the music. Really gratuitously metal, funny, and yet still really good. There's a feeling of energy, a synergistic cry for humour in real music here. Maybe. The song "Admiral Ukulele" actually turned into the first song on the new Viben Oodle CD, "Mein Eyeopening Love Broadcast." One of my favourite Viben songs to date, actually.
I think the other reason it makes me so happy is the art. I put a lot into that art, front and back, and it came out AWESOME. There's just no two ways about it: I'm really happy with the art for this. It looks like art that could be on a real CD. I'll post, maybe tomorrow, a progression of images about the creation of the CD art for this one.
Oh, I'm slowly buying up black T-shirts at the thrift store to turn into Flesh Socket T's. Marc's in a screen printing class this semester, and, some time in April probably, will burn me a screen, and I'll print up a bunch of Flesh Socket shirts. I'll post the art for those tomorrow too, or soon (I'm not quite don't with it yet). Anyone willing to actually wear them gets one for free. Drop me a line with the size you need, and if you prefer long/short sleeves, though I'm not going to guarentee that, but I'll try. I'll give/mail it to you as soon as we get them printed. I'm excited about that too. It'll be neat to have shirts! Also, if you've anything you think could use an inverted pentagram and a wall socket, with the words "FLESHSOCKET!" in metal gothic print, bring it buy, I'll screen that for you. Bwah ha ha ha!
