Big Update: Next CD, Vocal Versions, New Music Video

noreply@blogger.com (Angel) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 23:59:00 +0000

There has been a ton of exciting things in the works… thought it’s about time I touched base with all of you and filled you in on what’s going on. Here's a brief summary:

- Brand new music video

- Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within) | Chris Barretto (ex-Periphery)
to appear on vocal versions of Universal Language material

- New ANGEL VIVALDI CD in the works

I will be releasing a brand new music video to the song, “A Mercurian Summer.” I worked with an incredibly talented team who had some very refreshing & unique ideas. It’s definitely not a stock “rocking out in a wet warehouse” metal video; it’s very artsy and I feel it visually expresses the song well,

It will be released sometime within the next few weeks- Subscribe to the YouTube Channel or join the mailing list to be sure not to miss it.

Here are a few screenshots:

The Universal Language EP did well beyond my expectations- largely due to your support by reposting/sharing and buying CD’s, (contrary to popular belief, buying helps TREMENDOUSLY). I’ve contemplated doing this for years, however I feel that it’s time to finally give it a try. I’ve recently been working with some of the SICKEST vocalists out there in creating vocal versions of Universal Language material. I know a lot of you guys are totally against this idea and while I can appreciate that, I do ask that you give the material a fair shot with an open mind and open ears. Trust me, these songs are sounding killer and I wouldn’t let you down!

Let me be clear in saying that I AM NOT GOING VOCAL. All of my solo releases will still be instrumental , although I may do this again in the future.

Some of the voices involved are:

Chris Clancy
(Mutiny Within)

Chris Barretto

(Ever Forthright, Ex- Periphery, Ever Forthright, Friend for a Foe)

Karlo Horvat
(Kryn, Absent Distance)

I’ll post snippets as we get them in. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Yes - a 4^th Angel Vivaldi CD is currently in the works! I have over a dozen different song ideas that I will be condensing down to a 4 song EP. I’m still in the early writing/pre-production stages, but I’m hoping to head into the studio sometime in the Spring/Summer.

"The Guitar Tablature section is finally up and running exclusively on Facebook.

I've added a good amount of content thus far, including both rhythm & leads to certain tunes.

I will definitely be adding more content as time goes on & permits, but I will tell you... some of these

songs are absolutely torturous to tab out! I stay in standard tuning for the most part, but note that I mainly use

a sevent string guitar. If you're looking for a specific song to be notated, just shoot me an email and

I'll do my best to tab it out... unless it's Acid Reign. Fuck that song."

"Ok, so the Guitar Tablature section is finally up and running exclusively on Facebook. I've added a good amount of content thus far, including both rhythm & leads to certain tunes. I will definitely be adding more content as time goes on & permits, but I will tell you... some of these songs are absolutely torturous to tab out!
