These are crazy times we live in, which is why there is a need for the art and music to reflect the times we live in. In a lot of ways the songs of "Duel" reflect these times and I was told that by someone prominent in the music industry but I am also told this by many a long time SToB supporter. I have already begun work on my next album which is untitled but it will take a closer look at our divisions, fears, control of opinions and mindset. It will be a much more electronic and darker album than I have ever created and it will come in January.
This recession has hit everyone hard hopefully we will pull out of it soon.....until then what I have done is lowered the price on all SToB merch and downloads on my bandcamp site stob.bandcamp.com/album/duel
The Duel CD is now $7, while the digital download of the album in your choice of format is only $3
Check out some reviews quotes on this album which have started coming in....
"Duel is a masterpiece" - Steven Covington Program Director 525 Power Tracks.
"This is an enjoyable, eminently credible release, striking just the right balance between conventional hard rock stylings and much more modern electro-dance grooves. Like the traditional, British tin of Quality Street, there truly is something here for everyone and you can be sure fans will have their favourite. Goths, clubbers and old-school rockers alike will find much to enjoy here, nestling snugly within the songs that make up ‘Duel’. One suspects we’ll be hearing a lot more from and about Mr. Alvarez, via Shaolin Temple of Boom" - Harry Paterson, Spheremag.com
"6th track on Duel, is the song Transference and all we can say is, 'wow'! This song is definitely a hit at The Cryb, as five of five of us, voted this song the best progressive rock tune, we have ever recieved. That being said, all the songs are fantastic and all the hard work that went into this release, is clearly heard and felt in all of Davids compositions." - Michael Dannon, Independent Music Press
