I've been pretty busy getting things set up for the release. Some of you may have already noticed that the official video for the debut release "Thorn" went up on YouTube on Monday.

We have 275 views as of the time of writing, which I think isn't bad. Just need to hope people like it enough to buy the actual song itself when it comes out.

It feels pretty good to have hit the milestone of releasing something like this despite that the recording quality could be better and the video was put together very quickly with a cheapish camera.

Despite these minor shortcomings, I think it's good simply to have that first attempt out there. I notice some other bands are going with the technique of coming up with a good five to ten songs first and then releasing the best, but I think that misses out on getting full experience of the whole process from music, through production to promotion and sales.

I would also like to extend my thanks to my fellow band member for providing beautiful vocals, which I hope to use again when I purchase a better microphone this month. My appreciation also goes out to my imaginative and talented semi-official music video producer for putting together something in a short time during the very cold weather. I'm very impressed with the work that's been done.

Details are to follow shortly of the official release.
