Ghost Ship Octavius

This project sounds great so far.

Quote :

The official lyric video for the song "Alive" from GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS, the new progressive metal band formed by lead guitarist Matt Wicklund (GOD FORBID, HIMSA, WARREL DANE), drummer Van Williams (NEVERMORE, ASHES OF ARES, PURE SWEET HELL) and vocalist Adōn Fanion, can be seen below.

The band’s sound features technical and groove metal elements, highlighted by Adōn's powerful clean vocals, Van's tasteful rhythms and Matt's melodic and intricate guitar solos.

GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS has finished writing material for its as-yet-untitled debut full-length album and is currently working with Grammy-winning producer Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, QUEENSRŸCHE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, HALL & OATES, NILE).

In order to get this project off to a great start, GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS is reaching out to fans to help fund the album by use of popular crowd-funding site Kickstarter. The campaign has been launched and offers pre-sales of the album, merchandise and many other perks, including one-on-one Skype video lessons, guest performances on your band's album, being drawn into the band's album artwork, and more. Pledge here, but hurry, the pledging period ends in 30 days.

Guitarist Christopher Amott (ARMAGEDDON, ex-ARCH ENEMY) last year announced his departure from GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS in order to focus entirely on making a new ARMAGEDDON album.

  

I pledged to this a week or so ago. Never even heard about it until I saw the post of the nevermore page. That guy has a great voice.

I was gonna pledge, but it doesn't seem like they're going to make it.

I take that back.

haha I was just going to say that I saw them post the other day that they are doing pretty good. Your money doesnt get used unless it meets the goal so why not just pledge? I've been happy with the things ive pledged lately.

so did anyone else get this? Listened to this earlier. I really like it.

Hmmm...looks like I might have forgotten about this one. Haha.

Looks like the CD is coming out this week, so I'll have to keep a lookout for it.
