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
Thousands of years ago, the dwarven people fought for the overthrow of an evil oppressive regime controlling the entire planet. They fought in the service of an revolutionary group known then as the Omnipotent. After the overthrow and subsequent installation of one of the Omnipotent as new ruler. The dwarven peoples returned to their homes in the forest. There they stayed for many years until the Omnipotent began thrusting various taxes and laws upon them. Eventually, some of their peoples began disappearing each night. The Judge, as they were now called had begun kidnapping young and using them as fuel for their massive soylent projects now spanning much of the globe. High leader of the Judge, known simply as THE Judge, and the elite rulers beneath him, the Congress of Andreaus, have begun a mass extermination off the Dwarven peoples. This is the story of their struggles. Art by Dawid Michalczyk. I've just recently become familiar with his work, and I am extremely impressed with it. Maybe someday he will do the cover art for my album. This image is called "After The Battle," and I think it really fits the song. Check out Dawid's work here: art.eonworks.com
Lyrics
The Judge (Artists of War) Wool, tusk Cultivate we must Plant seed Satisfy our needs Raise, grow Live slow Spirit marred Taught of war We who live in forest Pillaged through darkness Feeding on life force We who fought their wars Blast! They're coming fast Alas, we will not last Hear their ancient roar Artists of War Conqueror's sword comes toward us Outposts failed to warn us Gather the women and children Let them not see this sin Congress of Andreaus They ambush as demons Galloping hoofs smash the ground We pray at the holy mound Blast! They're coming fast Alas, we will not last Hear their ancient roar Artists of War The Judge, he lives inside our nightless dreams He's hunting, he's wanting our heads upon a stake That Bastard! Run faster! Get away from his hunting squad Get away now, far away now, run away into the night Your soul, its shattered, no more weeping for me Abandoned, this land is, too late for our escape That Bastard! Run faster! Get away from his hunting squad Get away now, far away now, run away into the night Warrior Taste this fear Burn your Flesh and die I am your saviour To heir I bring terror My fist crushes evil A thousand years of peace for your people
