Monday Mosh – 12th September 2011
Hi everyone, Vaughan here with the latest from the band. We are well on the way to completing our latest studio album. The album will feature 9 tracks in the familiar Grave Forsaken style. We hope to be finished by the end of this month, at which point we should be able to put up some samples for you to check out. Although there are several co-writes, 4 songs are essentially Elias tracks, 2 are Simon tracks and I’ve contributed 3. Most Grave Forsaken songs have a primary songwriter with lyrical and musical contributions from other members, and these songs are no exception. It makes for a good mix of differing writing styles, yet it still sounds very consistent. We are pleased with it.
As we’ve stated in previous updates, the live side of the band has been on hold during this recording project. We do intend on getting back to regular shows once the recording is finished. Given the long gap, we are all hungry to get back out there, and of course we’ll let you know when something comes up.
The last few months have been a real blessing for the band. We’ve had to work through some challenges, and the primary outcome has been a determination to return to the core values of the band, which is to be a Christ centred ministry. It’s not that we ever stopped being that, but it is so easy to get caught up in worrying about unimportant things. Our primary goal is to spread the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, and that is what we are determined to do. It is a marvel how bands like Rez and Petra managed to make such anointed, powerful Christian music. We are inspired by those bands to keep the gospel at the centre of our message.
There isn’t a whole lot of other news. There will be more announcements as we get closer to releasing this new album, and we look forward to sharing those details with you as they solidify. Until next time…
God Bless and Rock On!
