Halo Stars

Blah Blah:

Still no big thunderstorm, but it did rain a little last night. Gonna be hot as hell today so maybe we’ll luck out and get that storm this evening.

In other news, I had a cool dream that we went back in time and saw Amebix play in an abandoned house.

Band Stuff:

More ideas for lyrical themes:

- Fatalism. Feeling like a useless person in a dying world. The feeling of it being too late to avert disaster. The cataclysm is already in progress.

- Ideas of leaving the Earth and departing into the unknown... Certain death vs. a lifetime of terrifying uncertainty out among the stars. Sabbath "Into the Void"/ Ison "Andromeda Skyline"/ Voivod "Lost Machine"

- A human brain/ soul transplanted into an indestructible mobile weapons platform dubbed "The Crawler" doomed to eternally wander the aftermath of a world ending war.

Songwriting stuff:

- When we're looking to branch out into faster mid paced sections Bathory is still the main one I'd look at, especially the "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" album, but it also occurred to me to also look at Valborg and Amebix, especially Amebix's "Arise" album.

- Maybe even some krautrock too since a weird sort of trance-out is kind of the vibe we're shooting for.
