no sleep til...tacoma.
260 minutes later, i am barely what i would call "rested". im fucking exhausted but i suppose its for a good cause: we were in the studio til about 1030 last night. im struggling to keep my eyes open but i got a big smile on my face, because i keep thinking about how the drums are turning out. one thing that i have to say first and foremost: DANIEL MATSON IS A FUCKIN BEAST.
honest to god, i know dude is good and is very tight, but yesterday he tracked 7 songs. thats over half of the record...and trust me, it is a long ass album, so the fact he nailed that is inspiring. im proud to have that dude holding up our rhythm section.
songs he recorded: "The Path of Most Resistance", "What Means the Most" "The Moral Eclipse" "Curse of the Quixotic" "Graveyards Adrift" "Faith-Healer / Death-Dealer" and "Sticks and Stones". the drums sound fucking awesome and gnarly, so stoked on the toms!!!
also, fisch and i are bringing back the flip off posts of earlier days in this blog. get stoked kiddoz, this album is gunna sound pretty fucking huge

well today is the day
Open Fire! start recording I Am The Curse today. We have been waiting a long time to get to this point! It feels good to know we are actually going to get this recorded and put out. I am most stoked to hear the final versions on Curse Of The Quixotic and Graveyards Adrift. These are my two favorite songs on the record, but I think the whole record is gold.
We also have a show this saturday at the Quesadilla Factory in Centralia with To The Wind, Like Trumpets, Breaking Ground, Seahaven, City Of God, and Troubled Coast. $5 at 7pm! I hope some kids roll down and mosh like idiots!

6 days.
its kind of surreal that we're going into the studio in 6 days. we're actually tracking our fucking album. its been so long. ive written this record almost 3 times over, with many many scrapped riffs and songs and parts with additional input from many many musicians.
rick, kenny, brent, ian, nick, nicky, have all contributed big and small to this record and its important for me to acknowledge that. as much work as ive put into this thing (and about to put in way the fuck more), it wouldnt be possible without those other people. so to them, thank you. i love you guys.
i havent posted a tracklisting yet because its sort of still up in the air. we have 11 full songs, SEVERAL interludes, and a song me and daniel have worked on that may or may not be recorded, and the arrangement may or may not change over the process. but rest assured, i will tell you this.............shit is long. looking at about 60 minutes running time. ill be surprised if any of you listen to the whole thing.

ps......we are looking into the possibilities of merch. im paying off a shit ton of debt so we can play a few out of state shows, but in the meantime it leaves us short for money for merch.........but we're looking into possibilities. cross your fingers for us. <3
