I’ve been working through finalizing the album and things are going pretty well.

It’s pretty amazing when you look back and see the backcatalogue of tracks that DIDN’T make it into the album. Here’s a small list of tracks that are completed that won’t show up:

Attune, Apologies, The Last Surviving Truths, Outside the Light, Unique, Agent of Chaos, Ninth Floor, Impulse, Injustice, Return ….

There’s ALSO about 40 songs that are anywhere between 30 seconds long to 6 minutes long that just never got fully realized, NOT including how many tracks that I didn’t finish up between two computer changes.

Good GOD that’s some serious music.

First off, I need to address a few things here. YES, the album will be done, second half 2010. It will contain TEN tracks, some new, some you know. Tracklist is as (of right now)follows (with an instrumental track as well) :


Divide
Involuntary
The Answer
If I had my way
Clarity
Antithetical
Machine
Nihil
The Electric Church

as a sidenote: the last two tracks of the album are particularly inspired by cyberpunk author Jeff Somers, who I would HIGHLY reccomend checking out over @ http://www.jeffreysomers.com/ . Heinliens dialog on steroids and a mean hangover. It’s great.

We’re currently setting plans in motion to do a september tour with our good friends and Nilaihah recording artist Level 2.0. 9 days, 9 cities. Contact us here OR at Cryogen . Second AT gmail . com if you would be interested in booking us.

We’re still running a contest here on myspace and on a bunch of other sites to get more people aware of our work, and in case you aren’t familiar with it, here’s the deal:

What I want you to do is tell a friend about our myspace page OR our bandcamp page located at http://myspace.com/cryogensecond or http://cryogensecond.bandcamp.com . Listen to the music, enjoy it, smack a horse to it, whatever you gotta do. Then go out and tell some friends.  Have them do one of the following:

1. Friend me on myspace and send me a message. it doesn’t have to be long, it just has to say they friended me and (this is important) YOUR NAME (if they don’t mention you, you don’t get free shit. see why that’s important?).

2. follow @cryogensecond on twitter. reply me with the hashtag #ClarityEP. I will send you a code. This is probably the easiest way to get free shit, and probably the quickest way to get annoyed by my ramblings about hockey, music, and politics. Not to mention all that Cryogen Second stuff you might want.

3. Comment on my blog at Cryogensecond.Tumblr.com . There’s ONE POST up right now, so if you put it there, make sure to add a way for me to contact you!

4. Facebook, Vampirefreaks, and others are coming soon.

This contest will run until I run out of codes (I have over a hundred left, so get it while it’s hot!)

Of course, all of our music is available directly through us here and if you’re in the nashville area, come hang out, introduce yourself to us. We’re at mai off 12th ave most sunday’s, and we’d love to get to know ya!
