Hello all! I guess a proper introduction of what the hell I'm writing about would be appropriate. To make it short, I'm working on a Symphonic Metal Album called "The Crystal Empire Saga". That's about it.
So, What's so special about it? Well, I'm incorporating a plot to the album. Meaning that its heavily driven by a story.
How? The album will have voice overs in them to properly deliver the story to the listener. Imagine an Audio Drama.
Will there be singing? Chances are that singing will be implemented in the sequel and not on this one. This is because the album is centered primarily on the understanding the background lore of the actual story. The real story will be the sequel. This is just the background story of how everything came to be.
How many songs will it have? I've already finished all the tracks. There are a total of 16 tracks. 8 of them are Interludes (Tracks that progresses the story. These tracks have an approximate duration of only a minute and a half), 6 of them are the main songs (These tracks contain the Important parts of the Story. These Tracks are three to five minutes long), and 2 are Bonus Tracks.
What's the story about? The only thing I can tell you for now is that its a revision of the Season 3 Premiere Episode of mlp. The Story has been twisted to have a much darker and militarized feel.
Can you give us a sample the songs? Sure! Click HERE to have a listen. Well.. its not really a song but more of a teaser. HERE'S Another one if you'd like. But it has no voice overs yet. Actually, I've released some of the main songs already but they're not in their final mix.
Then what's the point of making an album with your already released songs? The Story that comes along with the song. Sure, I may have already plopped up in some places the songs in my album but they lack the story that was supposed to come with it.
Will there be a version WITHOUT the voice overs? Eeyup.
Can I use your songs for my [insert Project Here] once you release them? Certainly! Just credit the people who made this possible.
People? Yes! I am not alone in this endeavor. I have someone to write for me a detailed story of the plot (And so far, it looks freaking beast!). I have also collaborated with someone who is very knowledgeable with classical music!
When's the release? I don't know, to be honest. I want this to have quality. I want it to have that professional feel (Though I'm not certain that it'll have one). I don't have a deadline to follow because I'm using all the time I have to make this as good as possible.
There we go.. I think I've tackled enough here. That's basically it. I'll be posting up entries soon if ever I make progress with the album. I just hope someone reads this xD
Oh, and btw! Here's what the album cover looks like!
Nifty eh? Well.. I've babbled long enough. Wish me luck with this Album!
EDIT: And yes. The Cover was made using Powerpoint.
