Progressive Metal

Dreyelands - Rooms Of Revelation (2010)

Hello all,

There’s not really an easy way to say this, so I’ll just say it. I’ve decided to suspend the Frost project with immediate effect. If this were somebody else’s band, I’d just say I was leaving, it would be so much easier, but it’s not so easy when you’ve created the band in the first place…

The reasons are many - I don’t feel comfortable any longer in the role of singer/front man/keyboard player/principle songwriter/principle cheque writer. Truth be told, I never have. It’s all got a bit out of hand from the gently self-mocking studio project I started for fun in a shed in East Sussex in May 2004 when I was young and happy and it was always sunny.

More than that though, trying to juggle two full time careers as I have over the last 7 years has been a tough ask and has ultimately become a price to high to pay in certain areas of my life. One of which is my health. I’ve been to a very dark place over the last 8 days and ended up in a pretty bad way. Although I’m now emerging out the other side (a stone lighter into the bargain), I have realised that I have some serious issues I must address. I’m no longer young, I’m no longer happy and the sun is no longer shining.

These issues have made me realise that life is sometimes about doing what you must do when the time comes regardless of what other people might want or expect of you. Some things are bigger than music or bands, expectation or disappointment. Figuratively speaking, I’ve now been given a yellow card and my priority now is to get myself back together before I get sent off for good.

So what now?

Nothing. I’m going to go to ground for a bit. Be private. Grow some veg. Get well.

And reflect. It’s been an amazing journey full of brilliant moments. Too many to list, I’m sorry it’s stopped like this, so abruptly, but I’ve been at my wits end lately and I’m no use to anybody in an urn.

I hope you’ll understand. Thank you for being brilliant.

Jem.

Noooooooooooooooooooo

[Sassequece]

Os dois álbuns que este sujeito fez estão no meu top. É uma pena.

[otnemeM]

Fica a esperança que seja temporário como foi no passado.

[José Sousa]

Gostei.

[Sassequece]

Primeira música disponível do projecto Arch /Matheos que basicamente é Fates Warning sem o Ray Alder.



Gosto

[GoncaloBCunha]

Essa música tem rodado incessantemente neste último mês. Ver o Bobby a tocá-la, ainda soa melhor!

[otnemeM]

Gostava muito de aí ver o Mark Zonder por uma questão de afecção a FW (embora em termos de contexto ele até seja posterior à Arch-era), mas curiosamente até noto no Bobby influências do estilo do Zonder.

Quanto à música em si foi a primeira vez que ouvi, mas embora goste bastante do Awaken The Guardian, num contexto contemporâneo não sou grande fã da voz do Arch. No entanto reservo julgamento até ter ouvido mais e mais vezes.

[Count Raven]

Voivod, pá!!

isto. Ando a ouvir Animals as Leaders, muito graças ao Tosin Abasi.

Não prendeu, mas é sempre bom ver o Bobby a fazer a sua magia!

SIM! AAL é um dos grandes álbuns que ouvi nos últimos anos. Que power.

Se já não tenho, cheguei a ter o vídeo e áudio desse concerto todo. Foi antes de sair o Traced In Air e foi a melhor forma de ter contacto com o material novo.

Que te cresçam pêlos no céu da boca se depois de ouvires metade do novo álbum mantiveres a mesma opinião!

O Arch soa fantástico, os "Fates Warning" já não estavam tão pesados desde, para aí, 1988 e provavelmente, álbum do ano para mim!

[Wolfheart66]

O novo de Redemption também já aí anda.
