Serpent
Just an update on the recording process. Everything is coming along slowly, but progress has not been halted. So far, guitar tracks have been recorded for 6 out of the 12 songs we have chosen to put on our debut album: Album Zero.
Before this album, we were intending to release a much bigger album, called Cerulean Times, that we had been working on for over 2 years. That collection, however, is very epic and the workload to produce it is intense. To remedy this, we decided Album Zero would be a better fit for a debut album, while we still work on Cerulean Times in the background and prepare it for release.
Since then, Cerulean Times has expanded into a double album. It's hard to explain, but Album Zero and Cerulean Times both have their own unique sounds. On one hand, Album Zero has songs on it that are easier on us to record and produce, but not necessarily easy to perform. The songs on this album have a raw, "rock and roll"-type of sound.
On the other hand, Cerulean Times has its own genre or style. Every time we write new material, we end up adding more to Cerulean Times because certain songs just fit that collection really well. Because of this recurrence, Cerulean Times is much larger than originally planned. The songs also have many layers and years worth of work put into them. It's just really easy to get carried away when you're feeling creative.
In the meantime, I have been doing my best to gather all versions of old recordings by me (as well as collaborative recordings) and archive them. I'm saving everything, because it's all worth my time. Many songs I have recorded and published online are reserved for future albums. It's a shame though that I lost many project files (Audacity, Magix, M-Audio Sessions, and Reaper) which contained the original .WAV files and the effects I used. Many of those files are lost forever due to past computer crashes and hard drive death.

Blog Revival 2017
Welcome to the official blog of Spinscythe - the band, website, and brand which many projects are produced under. My name is Jeremy, the founder and creator of Spinscythe.
To start, Spinscythe.com is getting a huge layout redesign. The design will not only come with new colors, but new content as well, including new webcomics, an online library, and a page for listening to Spinscythe music directly on the website. The design is nearly complete and will be implemented as soon as possible.
In other news, Spinscythe is working on it's debut album, Cerulean Times, and is in the studio recording as of this year. The album, long overdue, is planned to have 14 songs and is expected to run up to 70 minutes in length. As with everything under Spinscythe, the album is being produced independently and will be released as such. The sound of Cerulean Times cannot be described easily, but some genres that may apply are blues, rock and roll, heavy metal, and punk rock.

Some More Updates:
- Spinscythe Comics will be releasing more comics in the near future, including new Warz & Battlez as well as three new series: Warz & Battlez Monochrome Series, Failed Miserably, and Magic Grapes.
- New instrumentals to be uploaded on SoundCloud, YouTube, and ReverbNation.
- Demo recordings for Cerulean Times will be released in due time.
- Original stories, poetry, and art to be published in the Library of Spinscythe.com. There will also be opportunities for fans or other starving artists to submit their works as well.
- A new band project, simply labeled LUTA, will happen. LUTA, consisting of the same members of Spinscythe, will compose video game song medleys, publish gaming video content, and produce a talk show about video games, anime, and pop culture.
- Spinscythe's Twitch channel will eventually be used to live stream concerts online, straight from the band room. Footage will also be uploaded to the Spinscythe YouTube channel.
I'd like to thank everyone who kept up with Spinscythe and my various other projects over the years. Things have not always gone my way, and there have been years where I've put out no content. I apologize for this, and there's not much else to say. I am trying hard to remain human and also create the art I was born to create. With that being said, I am confident that there will be more updates to come soon on the status of all of these new projects. Thank you for your time.
