I've upgraded my recording/mixing setup a little since Titan Rising. This time I used an AT2020 condenser mic for the vocals and used the Samson Revlon A6 series for mixing. The guitar is run through my cranked Mat GTO.

This Soundclick page is used for posting rough mixes, outtakes and other projects un-related to my current band, Artists of War. I have played guitar since I was 14 years-old and have gone through a slew of influences. The most predominant has been Black Sabbath. My current fetish has been progressive metal ala Tool and Mastodon. Some might call this "art metal," and I would agree with that moniker as well. I consider what I do to be more akin to art than performance music. During my third year of college, I decided to officially release my work as a physical CD. "Artists of War" was the result of this. The album was released on March 25 via Tricalibur Records through CDBaby. You can visit my website, , for the most recent band news. The CD is available from , direct from me via the band website, or search for it in iTunes, Amazon and other online retailers.

Story behind the song
Lyrically its basically just about alienation and feeling as though there is no where you can call home. A lot of spacey/trippy phrases just from my fascination with sci-fi. Could also be interpreted as an expression of anger towards being trapped or bound to someone or someplace. Musically it's not too much of a leap for me. I played it in C and used a lot of odd scales to create a dark mood. The solos are a little more legato than shreddy this time, however. Some cool vocal harmonies and guttural singing add to the musical variety as well.
Lyrics
Earthless By Brad Olsen Earth, Earthless sky Ride, ride the light Float on astral waves Sail to blackened grave - Mon a013 monolith Time and space rift Evil red eye Master of skies (Chorus) Death a013 Damn this place Doom and disgrace Twist, twisting space Dark matter laced Gut full of fear Of this unknown - Thousand years Ia019ve cried Waiting for my time Awake among clouds Cosmic rays confound me inside this place (Chorus) (Bridge) Will we live Outside planet? No one knows So you forget Who is to blame? For dimension crack? Cast, cast away From my home - God, God is he? Could, could it be? Mind trapped in maze I feel again (Chorus) (Bridge)
