Waves of Mercury "The Letters" Update.

Ok, so some of you, of the nine of you, of the two maybe that read this may be wondering what is Waves of Mercury?

Waves of Mercury is our other project. It started out as a metal project called "A Thousand Suns" that had roots in bands like : My Dying Bride, Opeth, The 3rd And the Mortal, and that kind of European metal sound. We released a self titled cd under that name.

We then added another guitar player (Brandon), changed the name, and added Enslaved, King Crimson and a few others to our influences. That lineup created the album "The Great Darkness" ,which will soon be printed in a limited 25 print run with full color artwork. It will also be posted on bandcamp.com for people to download too.

Then Brandon left, and we decided to finally do an album that has very little distorted guitars.
This is basically our "Damnation" album, it's called "The Letters"

I just finished two of the last four songs without vocals tonight. I'm not sure about those last two songs, because they are kind of hard to put vocals to. They may need to wait, be tossed out, have new lyrics written or just deleted.
With them, the album is at 56 minutes, which I think is kinda long. I think it would be 45 minutes if we took them off.
We'll have to see what I can do with them.

Most of the Fairly Secret Army will be gone from mid April to mid May, so I'll have time to record more vocals or hopefully get new lyrics.

This cd will also have limited run of 25 copies with color art, and will also be put up on bandcamp.

well, until the mixing begins...

  2. It's just some old email I have. I just wanted the part that says so and so said... to say The Secret Follower but it put that stupid email instead. SometimesI hate computers! I'll give you a hint on who it is... Please don't use the death vocals!
