#156 Warlord trabalhando em novo álbum

”A handful of people told me that they wanted hear more of my music. I told them, "I don't know if I have it in me, but I will go into the wilderness of my soul to see if there are any hidden treasures." Those fans (you know you are) were "die hard" fans (that) inspired me to do something. So, as my health was improving, I started messing around on the piano and the guitar. Surprisingly, a bunch of material (riffs, ideas, etc.) started pouring out. So I overhauled my studio, spending several thousands of dollars and Warlord began recording again starting around December, but there were technical problems and Mark (Zonder – drummer) was in the process of moving, so although our engines were fired up, we didn't really get going until about Feb 2012.

We leaked some new material on the net and people seemed to like it, but it's nothing like what your gonna hear when the new album comes out and when we attack Germany and Greece in 2013. I've written about 75 minutes worth of classic power epic Warlord style music . . . but we decided to leave this album at 55 minutes, which is a lot longer than a normal album. 8 classic power epic metal songs recorded professionally, which will be professionally engineered, mastered, artwork, pressing, and then release.”

“I am so happy with the new album as we are moving toward the completion of recording -- well, a couple songs left to record (although they are already written), some corrections, engineering, mastering, artwork, pressing, and release.

The story of Warlord has always been about broken dreams so it doesn't surprise me. Warlord is NOT a regular band- it is more like a project, I guess. Warlord has always been my brainchild and it exists in my mind. It is a musical idea that just soars and scatters for those who want to reach up and catch it. For those who don't want it, well that's okay . . . Honestly, I did this album for "the Warlord fan," not for "metal" fans - again, I wrote songs that I believe are what "the Warlord fan" wants to hear. I did it because the early Warlord Fan Club group "asked" me to do it. So it is a gift (well, they're gonna charge you for it so I guess it really it isn't a gift) but you know what I mean. The music here, I assure you, will last another 30 years.”
