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
Wrote this about a year ago and, after some thought, decided to revive it with the addition of some new parts. It is a little self indulgent, but aren't all of my songs, really? The lyrics are based on my Sci-Fi essay "Deep In The Black" and the song itself is a precursor to "The New Gods of The Galaxy." It tells of a machine built by the most advanced alien race in the galaxy to eradicate the galaxy's imperfections in the hopes of creating a perfect civilization. During its travel to Earth, however, it encounters a critical computer error and determines it must eradicate ALL life on the planet. Before its imminent arrival, Earth's governments detect it and a global panic ensues. Amongst the droves of people flocking to churches and fleeing to safe houses are a group of radicals who see this approaching object as the coming of God. The bulk of the story is seen through the perspective of these cult-like radicals who survive to see the very last moments of humanity's existence. Artwork by Atryl.
Lyrics
The Drone Machine By Brad Olsen Deep in the black On a rock in the sky A drone machine lies Bleeding power Come with me up to the sky We'll make them see Our god shall rise Humans sing to rid this place They seal the light away Trapped with it on Altar Until the time of the final eclipse March forward A doom siren screams Metalloid Assembly Come with me up to the sky We'll make them see we will survive Suffocates the light Turns it into power Satellites will fall Eats away the earth Spewing molten lead It splits the mountains Built for killing bad Planets it kills instead Billions tremble Beneath its gears 12 Ton footprint Fueled to dread Beats draw near See him in fear Automaton monster The drone machine is here! ~Drone Machine~ Kraken People blackened Awaken Earth is taken Terrorizes night's See him don't get near him Awaken Earth is taken He chokes out the light
