01. What If The Whole World Prayed 02. Hungry 03. Delivered 04. If We Are The Body 05. American Dream 06. Praise You With The Dance 07. The Path 08. Glory 09. Here I Go Again 10. All I Have 11. Casting Call 12. 139 13. So Much More 14. Shadow Of Your Wings 15. You Alone The second demo by Grammy nominated soft rock band, Casting Crowns. From what I've read, this was the demo that got the band signed to Mark A. Miller's (Sawyer Brown singer) label, "Beach Street Records". Mark got his hands on this album and liked it, to the point where he offered the band a record deal. They're still signed to this day.

After Omega The debut (and only) full length by Puerto Rican power metal band After Omega.  It features speed metal, thrash metal, and power metal with a melodic sound, along with some symphonic elements. The logo shown above is fully is fully custom. I couldn't find a solid logo render for the band, so I made one myself. The font is called "Metal Macabre", and is used in tandem with a simple (slightly tweaked) "Ω" symbol.

Point Zero - Unite Us All EP (2004)

01. My Solitude 02. False Prophet 03. Broken Before You 04. One Day Metalcore band War Of Ages used to be called "Point Zero". This was their first EP. All songs were re-recorded after the name change, and featured on the band's debut self-titled full length, as well as their third album, "Pride Of The Wicked", which was a re-recording of their first album. The logo I used for the band is simply Point Zero written in the same font as the War Of Ages logo (Anglican Text).

Voracious Evisceration - Beheaded Bovine: Zombie Gore Splattered, RTG, & Excruciating Utter Adjustment (Demo) (2018)

Image
01. Bovintro II 02. Zombie Gore Splattered 03. Excruciating Utter Adjustment 04. RTG I re-recorded three tracks from the original Beheaded Bovine demo, after changing the project's name to Voracious Evisceration. I redid everything from the ground up, using the original lyrics and tunes as a foundation to improve on. It was originally supposed to be a ful, nine track demo, but the program I used was discontinued, much to my dismay. The logo used here is what would have been used in future releases, should the project have continued on.

Beheaded Bovine - Open Swine Surgery (Demo) (2017)

01. Intro (The Perfect Ham Sandwich) 02. Open Swine Surgery 03. Jumping Rope With Pig Intestines 04. Heart In hand 05. Roadkill! 07. Instrument Of Dismemberment 08. Outro (The Perfect Ham Masterpiece) This was my old grindcore project. I wrote this demo after attending a "biology lab" class at an umbrella school. Tracks 2, 3, 4, and 7 address the events of the lab directly. Yes, someone did indeed jump rope with pig intestines, and yes, I did hold a pig's heart in my gloved hand. I took LOTS of pictures. I was going to try and cover Dying Fetus's "Your Treachery Will Die With You", but ended up scrapping the idea. Anyway, that's how "Instrument Of Dismemberment" came about. My vocal style was very self destructive, I must say. I've changed it up A LOT since then. I've learned control, technique, etc. The way I did it on this demo was rather dangerous, which I didn't realize until after the fact (for some r...

The Black Winds - Blackened Forest (Demo) (2018)

Image
01. Introduction To The Dark 02. Dark Thoughts 03. Aborted 04. Enter The Hollow 05. Path Of Decisiveness 06. Where Owls Dare To Fly 07. The Forest Of Blackened Nightmares  This was my "synthonic black metal" project, released as  a free download on Bandcamp. I consider it my best work so far. The whole thing is programmed; all I did was program the machines, write the lyrics, and record vocals. It sounds absolutely incredible, in my completely unbiased opinion (mwa ha ha ha haaa). The demo starts with an intro track, followed two pretty standard sbm tracks. Then we take a minute to slow down with a sort of interlude, before picking back up with two crazy black metal tracks, one of which has a slight deathcore/hardcore influence. A lengthy instrumental track finishes off the demo!  All of the songs will be resued, rewritten, and improved upon in the future; that is my aspiration. I've already rewritten the lyrics to track 6, which nearly tripl...

Petra - Judas' Kiss: Unmasked EP (2020)

Image
Taken from "Petra - More Power To Ya" (1982) 01. Judas' Kiss (Unmasked Intro) 02. Judas' Kiss 03. Judas' Kiss (Unmasked Version) I had been listening to quite a bit of Greg Volz and Petra music. I checked out the live album, "Captured In Time And Space", and began experimenting with audio merging.  For some reason I decided to try reversing the "Judas' Kiss" audio (from the "More Power To Ya" album) in order to hear the "backmasked" message at the beginning. After that, my creative juices kept flowing, and I decided to make a project out of it! The result was the custom fan-made EP shown here (credit to the band, of course). Videos were out, BUT due to improper design flaws, I deleted them and reuploading. For now,  here's the "unmasked intro".
