A Taste of Things to Come…

Posted on by Bullet of Reason in Because I Can, Music, Progress

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who has picked up a copy of “Breathing The Machine”. You can still get your copy through Bandcamp, the FiXT Store, CDBaby, and iTunes!

Not long ago I hit a milestone on my Facebook Page of 250 Likes and said that I would have something new to share for you real soon…….. and guess what?

I do…

Here’s a preview of my newest track “Monster You Created”, just to prove to you that I’ve actually been working since releasing “Breathing The Machine”


Lyrics:

These rusted chain bonded by failure
Wrapped around the wrists of my life taker
But your torment is all in vain
I won’t be the one to die in these restraints
The chains begin to break
The ground beneath you shakes
Opening up to reveal
All of your mistakes

Strike me again
Let me feel my flesh tear
Whip me again
Fuel the one you fear

We fall in slow motion
Entering this world of commotion
This is the life you hated
And I’m the monster you created
We’re always falling
We’re never stalling
So don’t expect me there to help you
When you hit the bottom and need me to save you

—

Stay tuned…. some heavy stuff is coming.

Digital distribution has gone through and now there are a number of places you can pick up a copy of “Breathing The Machine”! You can purchase it through CDBaby (Digital and physical album), my Bandcamp (where you can get the Deluxe Edition and signed physical album), the FiXT Store (Digital download), and now iTunes! More places will be popping up real soon and I’m sure if you search online for Bullet of Reason – Breathing The Machine some of the other online retail stores will pop up.

For those of you who have already bought the album, I cannot thank you enough for your support! You all rock my world and seriously it’s such an awesome feeling to know that there’s people out there rocking out to my tunes. If you’ve got yourself a copy of the album, why not leave a review of it on one of the different retailers? I’d love to hear what you think of it!

More updates to come very soon about places where you can buy the album………. and the progress on the new one that is already in the making!

Breathing The Machine…. It’s Activated and It’s Finally Here!

Posted on by Bullet of Reason in Breathing the Machine, FiXT

First of all,

Wow… is this really happening? Am I dreaming? This album is FINALLY released? Believe me, I’m just as shocked as you are.

But even though it feels like a dream, there’s really no going back now is there?

This album has been in the making for about 6 years now (yes, I started it even while I was finishing up my first album “Assault on Your Reckoning”). A lot of the lyrics were compiled over many years and it took me awhile to try to sort it all out to make some sense of it all. Some stuff from my old Platinum Dragon17 days, some stuff from my old DoublEdged days, and of course new material based on life experiences and the ups and downs that took place. It’s been a hell of a roller coaster ride which would really explain why this album was the longest album I’ve ever spent any time on. I think it’s fair to say that I’m extremely happy to have this weight lifted off my shoulders!

Now for those of you who were strapped in to this ride from the get-go, I salute you! And for those of you who just recently joined me on this unforgiving journey, welcome and please keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times… I can’t promise you that it’s always going to be a smooth ride, but I can tell you that it’ll be interesting. Thank you all so very much for being a part of this with me and really being more than just fans to me. I seriously cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to have made such awesome friends along the way and without sounding all sappy, I really do cherish you all! Group hug!!!

It really did feel like this ride would never end… but really, has it ended? This is only the beginning for me and I’m already working on some new material for the next album as well as some other side projects I can’t wait to share with you when I can.

And now, without further a due… Allow me to make it all official.

*deep breath*

Breathing The Machine is officially released, and is ready to attack your ear holes!

Breathing The Machine (Standard Edition)


Breathing The Machine (Deluxe Edition)


Breathing The Machine – Pre Orders!

Posted on by Bullet of Reason in Because I Can, Breathing the Machine, FiXT, Music, Progress

Alright, I’ve decided that the pre orders will go live at midnight tonight (EST)! When you pre order you will get an immediate download of “Annihilation: Start”. There will be the options of a digital album, physical album with digital download, and a Deluxe Edition that features the full album and the instrumentals. For every person that purchases the Deluxe Edition with physical album I will sign it for you when the physical cds arrive. The first 10 people to purchase the standard edition of the album will also have it signed.

Stay tuned later tonight for all the madness!

And thank you all for being so awesome and a part of this experience with me!

It’s almost ready…

Posted on by Bullet of Reason in Breathing the Machine, FiXT, Music, Progress

It’s coming together very nicely and it’s almost done. Those are words I didn’t think I’d be saying anytime soon…. but it’s true. “Perfect Poison” has been cut from the album, but will not be forgotten. This will give the album a few extra minutes to play around with. “Stand Together” just needs some verse vocals set in place and then I can call it “pretty-much-complete”. Which leads me to some big news about “Slay to Survive”. I’m in the process of rebuilding this track from the ground up, starting it from scratch. But this time with a little bit of help…

As some of you may already know, “Slay to Survive” was originally a track from my old band DoublEdged. It was a huge tune (at least to us) and was possibly our favourite track. So my plan is to gather a few of my old band-mates together to bring this track back to life and essentially build a full length song full of pure rock and metal madness with the essential Bullet of Reason style electronics…

… But that’s not all that’ll be done with this track. I’ll also be looking at YOU for some help.

Stay tuned for more details!

Hello Father (PREVIEW)

Now I know I said I probably won’t post another preview until the full album is ready to go…… but I thought I’d be kind and give you a little taste of what’s happening!

Here’s a quick clip of “Hello Father”

Unfair… and the future!

Posted on by Bullet of Reason in Breathing the Machine, Freebie, Music, Remix

If you’ve been following me on Facebook, you would know that I’ve been working on reconstructing the single “Unfair” off my first album to give it a little more punch and to make it as aggressive as I originally intended it to be. It will actually be featured on the upcoming album “Breathing the Machine”.

I did, however, say that I might actually have this track done by the end of this year. Conveniently I finished the mastering process last night and had a listen to it on the big boy speakers and was finally happy with it.

So before I get to it (unless you’ve already scrolled down and downloaded it as you’re reading this), I just wanted to thank you all for being with me this year. It’s been an incredible year full of knowledge and making new friends and catching up with all the old ones and doing my absolute best to keep track of everything that’s been going on in my life. You are all the reason why I continue to strive to make Bullet of Reason better and better (at least, I think it’s getting better… for all I know you could be thinking it’s a piece of crap), and I plan on involving each and every one of you on the upcoming album somehow to try and show my thanks. 2012 was a big year, but the plans I have for 2013 are even bigger….. maybe even hopefully getting a chance to see you in the crowd somewhere and get in front of a camera to start making some videos………. I digress.

Happy New Year to all you kick ass peeps out there and here’s to 2013!
