LONG POST ABOUT VOICECOIL :)
Just wanted to send out a note and touch base with everyone as I have been quiet since the mini tour in August. So the current state with Voicecoil is as follows..... Originally I had planned to release a new album this year, run a crowdfunding campaign to fund it and start the new Voicecoil Patreon page up. None of that has happened. As many know I had to have emergency surgery in June and leading up to it had been in a great deal of pain. I was able to put on a brave face at the few appearances we have made this year but the truth is I was not doing well and a great many thing suffered as a result. While I am recovering from my operation well, I have still having alot of issues with fatigue and do not feel quite myself. I have made the call for a number of reasons to delay the new album until 2019, I want this record to be everything I want it to be both technically and creatively and with the things Ive been dealing with this year that simply could not happen. I continue to work in the studio on the record, have even written a few new pieces for it that I feel are pretty exciting, I am well into vocal tracking and a few new production techniques have rendered some wonderful results and with that happening I am certain I have made the right decision to delay until next year. On the brighter side of things, this summer also saw Voicecoil joined live by Mr. Noel Johannes. Noel is someone who I have known for a great many years but somehow never had the occasion to actually play music with. Well after completing his first tour with the band and passing pretty much every test I could devise for him, he passed with flying colors and is officially Voicecoil's permanent keyboard player! New material is coming and I think the new record and live show will be a rebirth for the band and a great step forward on this crazy creative journey I call Voicecoil. We have 2 more shows this year that will be announced any day now. As always I thank all of you for your continued support, it means the world to me and you guys make it all worth it :)
