[Demo]

GOD LOVES THESE LANDS [1:30]

Overview:
So this really sets the tone for the setting. Its been about 70 years since Dorothy left the land of OZ and boy have things changed. This new anthem really showcases that and it's really more of an Experimental Song.
-Renee Belamont

Sound:
The song starts off with some light keyboard stretches and as it goes on drumming comes in. The drumming isn't like a usual modern song but more like a slow, building up military like beat. Besides that the song features Winston and Gary singing the Anthem. Towards the end the song is lost in a sort of static.

Lyrics:

Oh God Bless This Land
For Your Bells Toll Over Each Head
Oh Bless Your Swiftly Moving Hands
Carefully Guiding Our Dead

Oh God Bless This Land
Find Time To Look Down On Us
Lead Us With Your Righteous Plan
From Munchkin Country
To Gillkin Country
To Quadling Country
To Winkie Country

Oh Find The Time To Watch Over Us
To Guide Us
To The Promised Land
Let Us Live In Peace
Let Us Live In Peace

(static)
And Arrive In Th- Emera-


HERESY [2:43]

Overview:
Alright if God Bless These Lands works as an anthem, Heresy is the deconstruction of that. After Dorothy left Oz there was a revolution and the Wizard was overthrown, with the Wizard gone though the other lands in the world decided to advance on Oz. This entails the story of the war between the lands of Oz and Iz. The song is without vocals.

Sound:
Now since there's no vocals, the song is heavy on guitar tracks. It features a back and forth between the two guitarists(Marsh and Finch) each representing the Lands of Oz and Iz respectively. Until finally Finch's guitar solo begins and shows the victory of Iz over Oz. The drums and bass are mere undertones in this guitar-driven track without vocals.

So, since we're having trouble finding a label we might start our own D.I.Y. Label. The thing is we need another band, anyone else want in?
