This is awesome as always.

Turn One

I know it's incredibly cliché to say this, but yoy released it (for patrons) on my birthday. I believe I have special right to exclaim that, given my birthdate.

RobScallon

Happy birthday Teemu! For your birthday I gave you the gift of 9 string guitar playing in a creepy gas mask. Hope you don't mind me regifting.

Sam

Happy new year Rob!! and stay djenty this year also :P

SCC Overton

Happy new year, Rob! Really excited about the album! Thanks for printing all the patrons' names on it - that rocks. Little question: do you prefer instrumental metal, or do you find it troublesome to get vocalists? --Simon

Ryan Peacock

Hey Rob, I am guessing that the album is going to be on DFTBA store?? Awesome song btw the hype for the album is real :D

Ryan Peacock

Side note - Are there going to be tabs for all said songs on the album :D

RobScallon

My original plan was to have 2 versions of the album. One instrumental and another with vocals. But the vocals album would have been all over the place with different vocalist and not every song I think would benefit from having lyrics. So I decided I'd put out an instrumental album and then if I so fancy I can put out lyric-version as singles as they come.

RobScallon

HYPE yea, should have preorders for the vinyls and CDs by tomorrow. I don't think I'll have tabs for everything like I planned. That would just delay the album so much longer and I'm not sure what the chances of someone out there having a 9 string and learning half the tunes would even be.

Hayden Coyne

Hey rob really looking forward to the new album man

Joshua Brett

Just preordered the vinyl, this will be the second one ive got of yours, thanks for making amazing music, happy new year :) Also will the vinyls be signed again or not? just wondering, thanks

RobScallon

Awesome Joshua, I'm so glad people are interested in them because I think it's really cool to offer albums in vinyl. This time around I won't have any signed, at least not in any official way, since there's already such a wait for them to be pressed I'm choosing for them to go straight from pressing to DFTBA where they can ship out right away.

Julian Feliciano

Hey Rob! I just want to say that you really inspired me to pick up the Guitar and just try to learn as much as I can more than what I have done already. Each video you post gives me the motivation to know that that one hard Metallica (Downpicking) riff or that seemingly hard Hammet/Hammeman lick. You really meanz a bunches to me and I can't wait for the New Album you're making! Good luck on whatever life brings to you next. MI/14

Tyler Woolstenhulme

Sounds awesome, super pumped for the new album! Already preordered a CD!

Troy Nielsen

I love love LOVE that Schecter, bought a 5 string bass of theirs several years ago hearing the quality they put out well above and beyond any ibanez I was testing... ROCK ON ROB

Inkcorperated Muzic

Hey Rob. I did vocals to this track and wanted to make a non- monetized video on my end. I been a fan for a while now and I heard the new track and couldn't help myself. Here's a link to it. I will take it down if you want me to. Just let me know brotha!!

RobScallon

Hey thanks so much Julian! If my videos are inspiring people to pick up an instrument more often then that's something I can be really proud. Good luck with your guitar playing and thanks for being a patron.

RobScallon

Right on, yea I use my Schecter stilleto 5 for every electric bass recording I need and their guitars are real solid too. Always back and forth between my Chapmans and Schecters

RobScallon

So rad! I dig it. The song could really use some vocals. yea man, I love seeing stuff like this, feel free to post it their, on YouTube anywhere :)

Marius Killingdalen

Hi Rob! I just pre-ordered the new album on DFTBA and I'm super stoked for it :-) I made a Percussive Acoustic Cover on Rain some time back if you remember, and I want to make more covers like that in the future. Hopefully you and others will find it interesting with some "unusual" covers of the new songs on the album. Can't waaaaaait!

RobScallon

Awesome! Were you the video that played a drum beat on your acoustic while you on another screen played it? Either way, yea! I think seeing people cover my songs, particularly when they put their own spin on it, is one of the coolest parts of being a musician. I originally planned for this whole album to come with all of the songs tabbed out through bandcamp but I just never got around to tabbing it all out.

Marius Killingdalen

Yeah, that was me, just tried something different and had a lot of fun! I think it will be interesting to do acoustic stuff with more heavier songs, so I look forward to trying that out. As for tabs, it's probably for the best for me that there's none, because I would really need some ear training (I'm so used to learning by tabs). Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the album and your future videos. And by the way, do you have any plans of releasing t-shirts or posters with the new album art? Really loved the Anchor poster! :)

RobScallon

That sounds really cool, CandyRat had a few really amazing artists do similar rock covers that were always great to watch. And I really wanted to get it tabbed out but it became clear that I would have needed to delay the album for much longer to get it done, I'm actually thinking about hiring someone to transcribe the album for me as I just don't have time to get that done, but it's expensive so it's not a sure thing. And thanks for being interested in The scene is Dead merch, this was another plan for it but didn't really come through. Posters are a maybe but probably no T-shirts for now. I'm a bit hesitant to have my own T-shirt, idk it's a bit weird I think for me to have a t-shirt idk

Marius Killingdalen

Yeah, the Candyrat artists are definitely amazing. I see your problem with the tabs, it's tricky, so time consuming. I guess some fans will tab out your songs anyways, but it won't probably be 100% accurate, but that doesn't matter. I do understand about the T-shirts, but just know that for me it would be super cool with an awesome Scallon shirt to wear on my covers! I have the Anchor T-shirt for now though ;-) Thanks a lot for answering!

Carlos Lara

Hey Rob, really nice song. Your music encouraged me to buy a 7 string guitar - I was thinking about 8 string but got a little intimidated by the size. it seems to me that 8-9 strings belong to another level which I do not belong... yet. Looking forward to get your new album

RobScallon

That's awesome! I think you'll love the extended range. I think 7 is probably just enough for the majority of people who are looking to play this type of music. I'm in talks with Chapman guitars right now about putting together a 7 model! I just can't help myself with strings I guess haha anyway, have a good one!
