| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2006 11:02pm - Anthony nli ""] Whoa... should I be disappointed with this? I need to listen to it some more to make up my mind. You're right about it being waaay different. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 21,2006 11:06pm - brian_dc ""] I don't know...I can't get over this feeling that it gets progressively more nu metal with each second. |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 1:25am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] At first I totally disagreed with Brian as the song progressed, I liked it less and less this singing shit is for the birds. If they want to play this shit, break up and reform as a new band. But don't sully the reputation and repetoir of a perfectly good tech metal band. Jeez. |

Elementary, which marks an enormous step forward in creative growth and songwriting for the band, was recorded throughout the summer at BWC Studios in Brampton, Ontario with engineer and longtime friend Greg Dawson. The finished track listing for Elementary is as follows; “Dangerous”, “The Never Ever Aftermath”, “Animals”, “The Moth and I”, “Throwing Stones”, "My Abyss", "Awake?", "A Fell Wind", "In Distress", and "And Always...". “We have been hiding in obscurity for the last year writing and recording this album and we’re all about ready to explode.” guitarist Andrew Hercules illuminates; “Hopefully that doesn’t actually happen or else we’d have a big gory mess to clean out of the van. Simply put I think this will be one of those records you fall madly in love with or decree it to be the bane of your existence, but you won’t forget it.” Elementary’s album art, designed by U.K. artist Colin Marks, can be viewed at this location: http://relapse.com/preview/elementary.jpg. Hercules (the band is rounded out by vocalist Aaron Wolff, guitarist Steve Watson, bassist Sean Dooley and drummer Anthony Salajko) comments on the connection between art and title: “The artwork is all generated from the ideas and imagery in the songs themselves. The cover is symbolic of the perils of idolatry, which is a reoccurring theme throughout the record. The album being titled Elementary is complimented by the simplicity of the images. Which is usually one image comprised of two different interacting forces striving to achieve balance. Why? Because that’s the way things are. Basic. Elegant.” An advance preview track taken from Elementary, "Animals", is available now via the band’s official MySpace page, http://www.MySpace.com/TheEndMusic, and PureVolume page, http://www.PureVolume.com/TheEndOnt. Elementary is set for a February 6, 2007 North American release date (February 12 internationally). |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 23,2006 11:53am - brian_dc nli ""] yeah, that was what I thought about it. Just got a little bit to sYcK for my taste at the end. I expected to hate the singing, but it was creative and mostly well delivered so I dug it. I don't know, I haven't lost all hope for the album...despite the fact that I'll never read an album description that seems full of itself. |
