Dwarf Metal

First off, I've kicked my WoW addiction. Hence I have my life and free time back.

Nextly, I've settled into a more specific sound, and I'm going to stick with "Dwarf metal". Why? My more recent influences have been related to Warhammer lore, and I'm really loving the dwarf army. They are a defensively stubborn, and furious grudge-bearing folk, and I like that. The very idea of a proud fighter who settles his grudges with a hefty axe chop, and driven by honour and redemption, would be very similar to the themes I want to weave into my music.

Unfortunately, this means I will be leaving the previous work behind, as they don't really fit into my desired musical direction at the moment. I may return to them and rearrange some things around, but that will be decided at a later time. I am planning to deliver an album, and I have an idea on how its material will go, but it's not too clear cut yet.

However, all work I am doing on the flash game remains in progress, and will be done to completion.

Here is a quick preview of what my musical direction is moving towards:
And My Runeaxe - Path of the Guardian


Also, the piece "Arise Awaken Alive" is nearly done, just going to polish up the drum work and give an overall shine to the mastering once more.

New Flash Game Demo Tracks

Finally, I found the time in my busy school schedule to push out 2 new tracks for my buddy's little flash game. Available for listening, are the character selection, and a prelude track. The prelude track, called "Prelude No. 2" is the follow up to "Prelude No. 1" which is available for listening here. Do note that the tracks are designed to loop, so they may end abruptly. These are open to feedback, so feel free to leave a comment on what you think could be improved, etc.

The 2 featured tracks that are:

And My Runeaxe - Select 0:52


And My Runeaxe - Prelude No. 2 1:07
