Rancid Abomination Goes back to being a solo artist and is working on a new (and final) cd

Ok.... Here is the good news. Rancid Abomination (my current music project/solo artist/former band) is not dead yet. It will be dead by the end of 2016 but that is expected...  Here is the bad news. I lost all the band members minus our drummer due to them all reforming their old band.  That left Rancid Abomination in the gutter with only me as the founding member, going back to being a two piece band with me on everything but drums and Peter Fraleef filling in drums. This is a temporary Arrangement. The band will break up soon after this. The reunion will not last. I don't want to continue it anyway.

I've been amazingly busy recording a new cd for Rancid Abomination. The new Cd will be an anti-christmas cd and will have an evil anti-Christmas carols/Santa Claus theme, just to piss people off during the holidays. With song titles such as "Slaughtered Santa Sausage", "Pissing on the Christmas Tree", "Shove your Christmas Carols up your ass" and "Yuletide Anusfart", the album will be offensive to the idiots out there who want to shove XMAS music down my throat for one more year...  I intend to call the cd "The Exploding Death of Christmas".

Working on the new cd's music was hard as hell. I had composed it but didn't realize that I had pumped too much reverb in, causing tons of pops and clicks. So I had to remix it, but this time I noticed that the lead guitars were too high and the keyboards were nonexistent. So I gave it a third go, this time making it perfect... I played rhythm guitars on this cd for the first time in 10 years. It was fun but also quite hard. I did lead guitars too and most of the instruments you will hear on the new cd are my work, minus drums.

I think the music for the cd came out amazing! It took me a while to perfect it but it sounds amazing. A lot like a modern take on older RA stuff from 2005. There are some modern elements but they are rare. Don't expect the UV tinged stuff that was all over "Into hell's Anus".  This sounds much more like Classic RA stuff... It has AWESOME keyboards and very good lead guitars.  Rhythm guitars are a bit down in the mix but they are there... Melodies are really good and atmospheric. Track 5 must be heard!

 I look forward for releasing this cd... Should be really good...

Here is the album cover!



More info on this when it comes out. Probably won't update this till after the Recording Session for the Album is completed, which should be sometime before December.
