Astral Productions Presents: The Laceration Recordings. ALBUM UPDATE.
Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the split album, "The Laceration Recordings" to meet it's March 20th release date. I do have a few songs already completed for the project, but I don't think we'll be seeing it until late April to mid-May at the latest. I am still working on it, but it's a slow moving process as I want each song to really shine, and showcase what Astral Productions is capable of. The few songs completed are Temple of Sloth tracks, and honestly, they need a little fine tuning before I decide to unleash them upon my fellow Astral Projectors. No Astroid Andy tracks have been made for this project yet, either, so you can see why it's taking a while for it's release. I'll keep you posted and probably give you a teaser with a few Temple of Sloth tracks from the album before it's release.
The Astroid Andy "Secret Album".
Part of the reason why it's taken a while to complete "The Laceration Recordings" is because I have been working on a new album for Astroid Andy (like that page, damn you's!). I'm not going to divulge to much information about this new album, but it will be directly linked to the release of the story "Shadows" which will come with the album when you download it. I will also post the story, in "semi-chapters" under the Astral Publications site. The story is near completion, and is bordering on almost 30 pages. The story will be merely a chapter in the grand story that is "The Sloth Epic" which will include stories connected to albums such as The Sounds of Self Destruction , Sanctuary: City of Flames , Sanctuary: The Lost Reality , Decomposed , and The Manipulated Living . The entire epic will take me a few years to complete, and the ground work has been laid out a little in "Shadows", hinting at the fall of Sanctuary, and taking place after the events of Sounds. With all that being said, let us move onto...
Astral Publications Presents: Shadows.
Shadows focuses on an unnamed narrator as he tells his story of survival via journal entries. Our narrator wakes up one day to find himself locked in a hotel room, the door covered in a spiderweb of chains that are welded to metal beams on either side of the door. The window is covered in boards. The walls are covered in pages of books, journals, diaries, and newspaper articles. There are a stack of eight television sets stacked haphazardly in one corner with an old time radio that emits a constant stream of bizarre electrical glitches and static for days on end. The bathroom is filled with canned food, bottled water, and bags upon bags of pills. As our narrator slips in and out of reality, he finds himself in situations and environments that make no sense, further fueling his ever growing insanity. Along the way, he will cross paths with people and experience things that push the boundaries of what is real, and was is a fever dream. Will he ever find a true escape from the room? Will he find out how he was forced to be imprisoned in it? Will he discover the sinister meaning to all this seemingly endless insanity?
Shadows is set to be released April 3rd, alongside the new Astroid Andy "secret album".
This concludes our broadcast day:
