You can't be in a living hell if you never lived in the first place.


Watch out for more to come.

Is the point of this game to merely survive?
How can it be a living hell when you were never alive?
Stop wasting rhetoric on me though,
You know I’ll never listen.

(It’s not that I hate life,
Just that I don’t get it...
No one is happy until they do,
We seek out more information,
Placing ourselves above our fairy tales,
Not so naive anymore.)

Today is perfect for me,
It won’t get any better,
And I think it suits me rather well.
Today isn’t awful for me,
Still won’t get any better,
And I think it suits me rather well.

Shattered a fairytale, as it may be,
You should stay away from me,
I’m about to go up in flames,
You’ll be scorched by me once again.

I don’t want to be the joker anymore,
I have my own life to live,
Behind this veil of amusement,
I have nothing to give.


More info about the project soon.

"This is going to be the most alienating, haunting, dark, emotional and poetic records in a long, long time. For those who would normally dismiss me as too musically heavy, this is going to be too emotionally heavy. For those who love my heavy songs, you're going to be bitterly dissappointed. This is the darkest pop record in recent times."

UserPostedImage- Jason's Ecuadorian cousin, Marco Perez. Underground cult jazz guitarist, making his mainstream break. Born in Cuenca, Ecuador, age 22.

UserPostedImage- Matt Roberts, legendary bass guitarist for Infinite.

UserPostedImage- Harry Mann, former keyboardist for Mind, still on good terms with Jason. Born in London, UK, age 24.

Musical announcement to come soon.

P.S.

Just posting some more lyrics for now, keep you appetised. This is from what may be the first single, still deciding on that... anyway, it's called Opprobrium... yeah, it's gonna be one of the more relaxed songs from the album. It's going to be a sort of mixture between new age, ambient, progressive rock, shoegaze and alternative. Nice.

OOC: Description shalt be coming soon. They're the only things I'm half-decent at, so I have to take long at them. I wanna make this as big as Shattered Fairytale, but that may be asking a bit much.

Opprobrium

We sit inside the house and attempt to warm our souls,
Make meaningful peace, brother.
Peace to all of you.
You discard me away.
Make friends in my solar wake,
It’s hard to be back here,
It’s hard to be alone.
Make friends with your solar gift,
It’s so nice to be back here.
You know that this is not what we landed for,
Discard a royal.
We sit inside our house of creation,
Peace to all.
Peace delivered with opprobrium.

This is intense! I get to move away from the ego of Eric Quillington towards... the ego of Jason Smith. Still, playing bass on this is going to absolutely shred, I cannot wait to get started on this. Thanks so much for including me in your band, my good sir!

-Matt Roberts
Kid Anything- Indie/Britpop/Shoegaze; influenced by Sigur Ros, XXYYXX, Kanye West, Blur, Oasis

(Bringing together an eclectic group of influences, Ulysses' songs are sung with carefree abandon by Nick Junk)

Kurt Ulysses - Songwriter, Guitarist, Backup Vocalist
Nick Junk - Vocals, Mojo



Infinite- Alternative/Experimental Rock; influenced by Muse, Radiohead, and The Beatles

(Known best for their experimental music and their frontman's eccentric behavior, the band disbanded after Eric Quillington's death to pursue solo careers or, in Matt Robert's case, peace of mind. Infinite released four albums over the course of their career; Blue Nebula, Midnight Skies, Insomnia, and Dancing about Architecture.)

Eric Quillington (Deceased) - Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar, Piano, Primary Lyricist
Matt Roberts - Bass
Greg Oldson - Drums, Backup Vocals, Secondary Lyricist
Amelia Florentine - Keyboards, Piano, Lyricist, Backup Vocals

"When asked 'how do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope."

- Stephen King

@James - Jason: Wow... that means a lot, thanks! People will probably feel alienated since Mind are no longer a band, but I hope that they will like this.

@Matt - Jason: No problem dude... I was thinking about who I could hire on bass to make the best damn group in the world in existence, and you automically were first choice.
