This new year promises to be a busy one.
Thus far I have plans for:
recording my band's album and getting that done and over with; luckily when we are in the studio we are very diligent at what we do and work very expediently. I am hoping we will have it done by March or so.
Getting GrimCore Industries set up and going... this venture promises to be a good ol' pain in the ass, but in the long run I believe that it will be well worth it. To give you a break down of what the goal with this venture is: Phase one is to start up a venue/community center. Both of these factions of GrimCore Ind. are set to be two non-profit organizations operating out of the same facility. The first portion is going to be a community center for kids... sort of an after school program. The basics on this are to teach kids about music; that includes teaching children music history, providing lessons of varying musical instruments, giving art lessons and getting them involved with community projects as well. Trying to get kids to appreciate their culture a little more and show them that, as unfortunate as it may be, we all do have a social responsibility if we want this world to be a better place and not have to dwell within the fuck-ups of our forefathers. The second half of this facility will be a concert venue dedicated strictly to charity.
As I am in a "death-metal" band the public view upon my band and myself included is usually towards the negative. Immediately people give us the stigma of being about violence, aggression, and often times satanism; the case is quite the contrary, my band is actually based more within the realms of Quantum Physics and chaos theory... Regardless, our music is heavy and "aggressive" so sed stigma is placed. With this venture I am hoping partly not only to help out the kids, but also to hopefully make people question their judgments at least a little; open some eyes to focus on the intense amount of talent and dedication that a lot of the musicians that choose metal as their forte have.
The second phase to my diabolical plan is to open GrimCore Industries productions side. This will incorporate everything from screen printing shirts to web design to eventually recording. Kind of our own label, I guess. And no we will not be using the kiddies for our dirty work ;)
Final plan for this year is to set up a metal/arts festival in Omaha. That the details are a tad sketchy on so I will spare them at this time; we will just say that it should be pretty decent in size... or so we hope.
Aside from all of that I will be interested in seeing what this year will bring. Not gonna lie, kind of stoked!
