TCS has finally locked in a name for the new project. The album will officially be named 'FROM ASHES REBORN'.
The meaning behind it is that the band feels that even though that this is their second album, it is really the first that was completely written as a single unit.
Also coincidentally one of the featured tracks on the debut album was called 'Ashes'.
The band is very proud of the new tracks and is excited to get it in to the hands of TCS fans.
confused? so here's the deal. Last month we announced that Corey has been called in to work on a top secret project. We can now reveal the details.
Sydney based metal act DRAGONSCLAW is currently working on their debut project, with the help of the incredible BLAZE BAYLEY (Ex IRON MAIDEN / WOLFSBANE) who will be performing as a guest vocalist on at least 2 tracks.
DRAGONSCLAW vocalist GILES LAVERY has requested assistance from Corey in a few lyrical re-writes. One of the tracks will be featuring a vocal tour de force with both Giles and Blaze trading lines.
Pablo assisting Dave by playing guide tracks. Some of our songs start without drums, so other parts have to be laid down so we can time it right.
Day 2 at Puzzle Factory. Dave is still knocking out the tracks. 13 all up now with the suprise addition of an old track that didn't make it on to the first album.
The Cursing Stone has booked in for the 19th and 20th to record drums. Wish Dave luck, not that he needs it. He is a finely tuned beat machine!
The band is currently negotiating with Puzzle Factory Studios to organize dates for tracking drums on the new CD. While nothing is locked in it looks like it will be sometime in the next 4 weeks.
In other news it looks like the album will be recorded in several venues however production will be overseen by Dax Liniere At Puzzle Factory.
Corey has been asked to assist on a reasonably high profile songwriting project. More info to come as it's a bit hush hush at this time.
TCS had a great impromptu jam at Corey and Nat's house. Another song in the bank for the CD. Nat is exercising her creative muscle by playing piano on this one. It promises to be quite the opus!
TCS is currently on a short break while Pablo is over in Switzerland. A bit of work is happening behind the scenes, but the guys will be back in the studio in the coming weeks. With a December deadline the pressure is heating up.
Pablo testing out his new Warwick bass. He picked this one up while travelling in Switzerland. Guess they rock there too..
The band had a great time rocking out with all of the folks at The BFS. Special Thanks to Giles and the Dio Show.
The Cursing Stone has officially contacted producer / engineer Dax Liniere regarding production on the follow up to 2009s self-titled debut record. While no days have been solidly locked in, the wheels are turning and as soon as all of the tracks are prepped and properly demoed, it's on! TCS are preparing for a release before Xmas 2011.
The band is currently tracking two new demos and working on putting together some quick videos for your viewing pleasure.
