Hailing from Waterbury, CT, Emptyeye is in fact one 21-year old musician who plays or sings every part on his songs through one means or another. Primarily a bassist, he also sings, plays guitar and uses the magic of technology to place drums into his tracks. Unlike most artists, Emptyeye chooses to commit career suicide by actively staying away from the common 4/4 time signature whenever possible, in true progressive-rock tradition. Yet unlike most proggers, he also eschews the typical three-minute solo sections of the typical prog-rock song, making his music a true enigma.

Story behind the song
This song isn't really "about" anything. More than anything else, it's a parody of some of the ultra-heavy forms of metal whose names I don't know because I'm not a member "of the scene". Fans of these various genres will tell you that the music is very technically demanding, takes a lot of skill, etc. But the fact is that most people hear one chord being played over and over and ultra fast speed within these songs (Which, as I learned, is a lot harder than it sounds!). The lyrics are basically the opposite of the conventional metal "BLORG KILL DEATH HATE" stereotype that people associate with the genre. I thought it would be funny to effectively turn the stereotype on its head. Yes, I'm aware that everything sounds like crap on this song--the guitar falls behind the beat, the bass isn't in sync with the guitar at all, and I'm not a particularly good screamer (Incidentally, I would probably have sounded a lot better had I opted to embrace the typical "Cookie Monster" vocals; I have a low enough voice that I can do that without much trouble). I actually haven't even listened to the final mix of the track; I can only imagine it will serve to blow out the average set of speakers. I don't particularly care because 1. It adds to the parody element, and 2. Apparently not ccaring about your mix/production is tr00. Again, I wouldn't know. Final note: Actually playing one chord ultra-fast is, as I said, a lot harder than it sounds. In the process of recording this, I gained a lot of respect for bands that actually do this track in and track out. -EE
Lyrics
*scream* Come into my land of flowers Come into my land of puppies Come into my land of sunshine Come into my land of rainbows We can all be friends here We can all be friends here We can all be friends here We can all be friends here This is a world where happiness reigns A world of harmony If you're depressed, then just get out Because there is no room for your kind here We will all be friends here We will all be friends here We will all be friends here We will all be friends here This is a place that's free from pain And mindless teenage angst A land of smiles, and gleeful eyes For we eradicate anger, rage and scorn We are all friends here We are all friends here We are all friends here We are all friends here
