I'm a metal fan and musician from way back in the day. In the late 80's I played guitar for several local punk and thrash bands. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years, and I've been producing for 4 years. After a long stint away from metal, I got the itch to come back to it. So this is my metal project, "Shreds of Black Cloud." I play all the instruments except the drums, which are programmed. I try to program the drums so that they sound like a real drummer is playing them. I do the vocals for each song, but I'm really not that great at it. I'm looking for experienced vocalists who have the proper recording equipment. If any of you vocalists out there want to join me in this project, let me know. I write lyrics and have a lot of song concepts. I kind of prefer it that way, me writing all the lyrics that is, but I'm open. This project is about otherworldly places, the supernatural, other realms. I guess you could call it a bit Gothic, and symphonic too. The songs here are subject to change, depends on how happy I am with the mixes. I'll be refining my recording and mixing process. Finding what works and doesn't work.

Lyrics
atop the mountains of the east appearing overnight what was not there, now is behold the towers that rise high and the tall gate that surrounds this place of unknown origin Upon nightfall large torch fires can be seen lighting up the night sky in a blaze of glory I have seen a city in the clouds high up where no man dare tread at night it's torch fires burn by day, the city shines brightly in the sunlight for all to see all eyes gaze upon this wonder I stand in the garden of sacrament to contemplate what is beyond while the unspoken looms in the distance an omen of the final day when the destroyers return or entrance into a new age of enlightenment where the gods return to dwell among men the elders gather, who will test their fate and traverse to the mountain top to find what lies there be it The lost city of Antioch or the citadels of Abaddon I shall go, to risk body and soul 3 days journey up the mountain side as I draw nigh the air is charged with a power like that of a great storm the rocky ground below rumbles lightening bolts arc down from the sky above as we reach the gates of the city, I can clearly see the etchings of antic the gates open, robed one greets with body of shimmering light and outstretched hand I enter into the city of the gods
