New Promotion Photo
Yesterday we had a photo session before rehearsals and made a new promotional picture. This time with a touch of colour. We took the picture at a scenic and somewhat industrial looking place near our rehearsal room. I think it turned out quite nice 🙂

Experimenting with drop down tuning
We have not really used our website as a blog in the past, but we thought it would be good to add some activity here too. Maybe it’s even better than writing on Facebook or Instagram because you don’t have to worry about how many likes you get 😉
We have been using so far only standard tuning with the e string dropped to D in some songs. But I was never really sure if this is exactly the sound that we want to convey. Already early guitarists like Jimi Hendrix noticed that guitars just sound better when they are tuned down half a tone or a whole tone down. Or based on what kind of music you play, drop down tunings far beyond that are also common.
Yesterday we started experimenting dropped tunings with our existing songs – just to see how it works. We started by dropping the tuning down a whole tone to D. It sounded darker for sure, but also a bit less defined than we would like it to be. Then we tried half a tone and that worked better. Better than the standard tuning we had been using. Using a bit lower tuning also means that I don’t have to scream at the end of the mixed male voice range on some of the songs. I was excited by the new sound and we will continue to experiment with this!
It was a very productive rehearsal by any means. We also started composing a new song that we’re sure you will love. Cant wait to get it ready 🙂
Video (Nefernefer) from our Gig at Substage 21.1.2023
Jan and Andi organized some cameras for the gig. Mathias mixed the live recording tracks and Jan was able to edit this great video from the material:
Lyrics: The Son of Man
Who earns His love? Who earns salvation?
Who are the chosen? Who are His children?
For love of mankind, God sent his angel
To help us follow, his cryptic scripture
You all are chosen, God loves His children
He lets you suffer, and evil prosper
No one was able, to understand
The cosmic savior, the Son of Man
We all are waiting for, the second coming of,
the righteous Son of Man, to guide his helpless lambs
The heaven opens wide, He steps down from the sky
He lays his hands upon us and reveals the Word:
Watching your failure, His love grew colder
the disappointment, turned into anger
And now I am here, to start all over
The Son of Man, the great destroyer!
We all are waiting for, the second coming of,
the righteous Son of Man, to guide his helpless lambs
The heaven opens wide, He steps down from the sky
He lays his hands on us and uncages the Word
