"Requiem" Music Video Now Streaming!

"Shadows" is Now Completed. Free Download (Name Your Price).

At long last, the hour is upon us, you all have been patient, and your patience has payed off, because now, after 3 long months, "Shadows" is complete and available for download. I have made so that if you don't have the money to pay for you, you don't have to, and if you feel like paying $0.15 for the album, you are more than welcome to do so, or whatever price you find fitting for my greatest album since "Decomposed". I took me a little under 3 months to complete this album, and it is very well polished and sounds fantastic. I know it may seem boastful or even arrogant for me to comment on the album by way of review, but I have to say I have listened to it over and over and each time I hear it I fall in love with it all over again. Now I am working on remixing a few tracks as well as making a few more tracks for the upcoming "From the Shadows EP". So far the EP has one remix (the song "Shadows"), 3 demos, and one original track. But back to "Shadows". I would consider this a mix between "The Sounds of Self Destruction" and "Sanctuary 2: The Lost Reality", but in all honesty it shines brighter than both of those albums. There is a ton of bass, some really aggressive drum beats, odd sound effects, layers of pad and synth that I have personally mastered and edited, and even a surprise visit from Temple of Sloth on the track "Requiem", which itself is a nod towards the next big album to come from Astral Productions, "The Laceration Recordings", which should be completed by March or early April of this year. But in the mean time, enjoy the very awesome album, SHADOWS.

It's Finally Here! The Uncut, Extended Version of "Journey to the Temple of Sloth" !

I've had this track since late October of 2010, and I consider it to be my masterpiece. I tried a while back to be able to put it online, but due to it's size, I hadn't been able to. The original arrangement (the song's saved file in the software I use to write/make it with) is long gone, and I've only been able to find the demo version and the standard cut from "Decomposed". I decided to try my luck again in converting the MP3 of it to a WAV file (the format required to upload it onto Bandcamp), and the gods of music did me a solid and after over 3 years I'm able to present the full length Journey to the Temple of Sloth in all it's spectacular, surrealistic glory. Had I been able to find the saved arrangement of the Extended version, I planned on giving this the real "Director's Cut" treatment and add some more segments as well as tweaking different pieces of it as well as I've done on Return to the Temple of Sloth [Director's Cut], but seeing as things didn't go as I wanted them to, I was limited to just presenting it as you see it before you, which in all fairness, is okay with the magnitude of the "Extended Version"'s greatness. I should be able to wrap up the "Director's Cut" project soon when I release the last entry, "Escape from the Temple of Sloth". I still plan on doing a "Rise of the Temple of Sloth" and releasing it as The Andy Day Project. I will most likely make it an epic song, split into segments like all the others and add an Uncut version as an exclusive track for those who download the EP. But more news on all that as it happens. For now, I am overly excited to present to you, my fellow Astral Projectors, Journey to the Temple of Sloth [Extended Version], easily the greatest song I have ever wrote (in my humble opinion).

P.S. Also, I am including the Demo version of the song with the "Director's Cut" for those of you who didn't download Astral Plane.

New Song: "Requiem" & Updated Version of "Astral Plane"

NEW SONG!
First, let me introduce you to the newest song off of "Shadows", "Requiem".



This song features Temple of Sloth. It could almost be considered a The Andy Day Project track, it's not, simply because it fits the theme and sound of this album. So go ahead, and enjoy the epic new song Requiem.



ASTRAL PLANE UPDATE!
Okay, so I found the tracks I had originally wrote for (the now deceased) "Sanctuary 3: Manifest", which were written right around the exact same time as "Astral Plane". So I recovered them and gave them a proper place on "Astral Plane". The two new (I'm using that term loosely seeing as I wrote these songs about 2 years ago) songs are "Final Moments of a Dream (4:47am) [Level 3]" and "The World Outside Room 271 (5:13am) [Level 4]. You'll also notice that I dropped the "EP" from the album title as well, seeing as it's now a full length album. Also, if you download it, you'll receive a copy of "Mental Journey to the Temple of Sloth [Demo]". So check out the newly revamped Astral Plane and enjoy the new material!




I'll keep you posted as things continuously progress.

Kicking Off 2014 with the Release of "There Was a DEMO Here. It's Gone Now" by The Andy Day Project (circa 2011)

Back in 2011 I recorded an album under the name The Andy Day Project, which combined elements of both Astroid Andy and Temple of Sloth along side some spoken word compositions I did to really set it apart. The end result was There Was a HOLE Here. It's Gone Now. While recording and writing that album, I churned out over 20 songs, some of which made it onto the album, others would be edited down and put into another song that made it onto the album, and some just didn't make it onto the album at all. At the time, I didn't think much of all the material that didn't make the cut and was just satisfied with what I had created and released. But after going back and listening to a lot of the stuff that simply just collected dust, I found quite a bit of gold and decided it should be released. So now, 3 years later, I have put a lot of time and effort into bringing "There Was a DEMO Here. It's Gone Now." to the light of day and am very proud to kick off 2014 with it's release. So without further ado, here it is. Enjoy.

"I'm Remebering Things That Haven't Happened Yet" Music Video Premiere/Updates and Reflections of Twenty Thirteen

UPDATES!:
As you can no doubtfully tell, we did not get "Shadows" this year. No, but we did get The Sounds of Self Destruction as well as The Sounds of Static EP. 2013 also saw a huge flow of Music Videos. Although I feel I didn't get to accomplish as much as I would have liked, it's okay considering what I did. In just under a month I was able to pump out 4 music videos and get half of an album completed. As of late, my motivation has been somewhat lacking, and so recording for "Shadows" has been heavily delayed. I will be releasing "There Was a DEMO Here. It's Gone Now" by The Andy Day Project, having finally unearthed it. It should be up and available by the first week of January. I've pushed back the release date for "Shadows" to 01/10/14, and it's companion piece "From the Shadows EP" should be out before February, or within the first two week of it.

So let's say farewell to 2013 by enjoying the newest edition to the Astral Productions Video Library,

Mythic Journey to the Middle of Nowhere [Music Video]

Neon Signs Flicker in the Dead Air [Music Video]

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to another visual experience the likes you've never seen! I have taken a very short break from making music (I usually will work on part of a song about once a day) so that I can finally use all of the footage I shot back in March, along with some footage I shot over the summer. I don't want Astral Productions to just be music, I want to be videos and a place for my writing as well. So for the moment, production on my Astroid Andy album "Shadows" is on hold while I work on some more music videos. The next video I will be doing will be "Mythic Journey to the Middle of Nowhere from the Astroid Andy album "Sanctuary: City of Flames. I'm debating about doing a video for the song "I'm Remembering Things That Haven't Happened Yet" or "Alchemilla" from the album The Sounds of Self Destruction. We'll see, maybe I'll do both. But anyways, I have been slaving away on the "Neon Signs Flicker in the Dead Air" and "Brookhaven" music videos and will begin production on the next video as I conclude this post. So enjoy the new Music Videos!


More awesomeness to come,
Astroid Andy
