Today I finished demoing the fifth song from the forthcoming Lacrimorta album. How am I feeling about things over all? I am pretty excited!! Not only will this album be a slight departure from what I’ve done previously, it will also mark a milestone for me. The milestone of simply wanting to have fun with music. This album has been a slow burn for me–amidst some rather crazy upheaval in my life, but I have been granted the opportunity to actually sit down and finish this thing, so that’s what I am doing. I have three or four more songs to demo out vocals for before I start working on the guitars. As mentioned previously, there will be some straight up heavy metal on this album, but most of the album is more on the electronic side, and not necessarily on a side that is particularly postmodern. As a an album with a clear concept it will be vocal heavy, but it also won’t be presented in the way that the self-titled album or PAINSYNC was presented. This album is catchy, bouncy, snarky, at times heartstring pulling with an organic vibe. The self-titled album to me felt very focused in one direction, and because of this it felt cold occasionally, at least to me. I am trying to vary this new album up with more sonic elements whilst maintaining some level of emotional and lyrical coherence.

I am getting so excited to actually hear this thing come together and I absolutely can’t wait to share something different, fun, but still familiar to the kind of thing I like to do. As a side note, I am going to be sharing a lot of my process this go around after I release this thing, so please look forward to it. I am hoping that I can finish this for a September or October release, but who knows what’ll happen, it could be sooner. This album has been falling out of me in the last several months.
