The Temple of Sloth Epic: The Songs & the Story

Did the chicken come before the egg? That I'm not sure of, but one thing is for sure, the songs came before the story. In fact, ideas for the story helped fuel and shape the songs. That's pretty much the entire structure of Temple of Sloth's music, is that each song is built around a plot point or location in the story. Originally titled "Temple of Sloth", the name for the story was changed to simply: "Sloth". [For most of you who may not know, I am current working on a very long epic story based around a large body of musical work I have done.] While the main focus takes place in the Temple, a decent part of the story takes place in the realm of Sloth before a character steps foot into the Temple. The appearance of the songs are not in chronological order based around the story. I did this intentionally to give myself a world of ideas to build off of and craft the epic story in progress. While still in the rough draft process, the writing style will change somewhat significantly in the final draft. I am projecting a completion date for around December of 2012. I plan on releasing bits of the story with certain albums, thus giving them more depth. Already in the works is the prelude to the story, "The Process of Decay" which will be released on Nov. 12, 2011 alongside the albums release. I plan on releasing the story line behind the Sanctuary Saga upon it's completion, some months after the release of The Andy Day Project's contribution to the soundtrack: "The Rise of the Temple". I will release a partial piece with that album, as well as the first part in Sanctuary, which takes place right before Andrew (the character we meet in "Decay') finds out his purpose within the Temple walls (specifically, the Centralsanctum).
