| Introduction By Nicholas James | ||||
|
When one enters into a new situation, be it a new job, marriage, or what have you, there is always a feeling of uncertainty, of trepidation, and of thinking "what the hell have I just done?" Most times, we feel like we don't have any control over what is happening, and what will happen. I felt that way driving down to meet the band for the first time. "Are these guys for real? And will they be in possession of chainsaws in a room with no windows once I get there?" Happily, my fears subsided once I walked into the rehearsal space and started jamming to some familiar tunes. It wasn't before long that I realized what was occurring - true musicality and genius was at work right before my own eyes. I thought, "Well, this might not be so bad after all!" Now entering the third month at the wheel of this machine called Concrete Prophet I feel, without a doubt, that this has thus far been a highlight of my short life. The energy that I feel when I'm around Brian, Kevin, and Michael is an energy that can only be experienced firsthand - the energy one feels through true musical collaboration. I am very excited to be a part of this group, and I know that the future is truly ours. Nicholas James |

Odin's Court |
||||
| We
would like to take this opportunity and send congratulations to
East Coast prog veterans Odins
Court for their recent inclusion on ProgRock Records. I've seen
Odin's Court perform a few times and have gotten to know founder
Matt Brookins over the past few years. He's one of the hardest working
individuals in the scene and I have a lot of respect for his professionalism
and dedication towards the band's artistic endeavors.
Look for their newest release, "Deathanity" out on ProgRock Records this July. Brian Dobbs |
