Great news! The entire "Duel" CD is now included in APM Music's Film/TV/Video game Soundtrack Licencing compilation "Dark Delicacies 2"  Very excited that APM saw it fit to include the entire Duel album (All 6 songs)


 


Check it out here http://www.apmmusic.com/featured-albums/r/reverbnation-music/dark-delicacies-2 


 


If you have an iTunes Ping account be sure to join me there as I will have exclusive videos going behind the scenes of the new album set for release in Jan 2011.  Once you're in your Ping account just do a search in the people section for "Shaolin Temple of BooM" and it will come up.  Check out this video blog here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0te2r_Tj4Y






Starting this Wednesday Heineken will feature "Into Nothing" on their Heineken Ultimate Playlist http://www.reverbnation.com/heineken


If SToB gets the most downloads it will be featured in their featured artists section which will mean very good exposure for SToB, so it's a win/win situation as it's incredibly easy to download just sign in with your facebook account and click the download link for "Into Nothing"


I will send an email once it's up...


In the last newsletter I made my EPK open for anyone to send to their favorite magazines, music blogs, radio stations and a lot of you responded by showing an unbelieveable support for Shaolin Temple of BooM.  For example here is Dan from the UK, and the STOBHEAD of the UK streetteams, who sent me this email.

Shaolin Temple of BooM on iTunes PingQ


Shaolin Temple of BooM now has an iTunes artist ping account, join me there for exclusive sneak peeks at the mega new SToB album coming out 2011, via video clips behind the scenes that I will not post anywhere else!  Also I will be video blogging on my ping account (not found anywhere else) as well as exclusive pics and so forth so what are you waiting for ?  Join me on iTunes Ping here c.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZConnections.woa/wa/viewProfile


 


While you are there be sure to "Like" the album on itunes, leave a review and post a message for me in support! The "Duel" album can be found here itunes.apple.com/us/album/duel/id380065717


 


"Duel" has a number of songs that would be a perfect mix for any Helloween  party, "Evil" and the title track "Duel" definitely come to mind but also there is "Into Nothing" and "Passenger" not to mention "Mansions of Thought"


When your friends ask who is this? When they hear it, you can say "it's this very underground artist called "Shaolin Temple of BooM".  haha! ;p



More than 2900 of you on facebook clicked on the "Like" button for Duel, the easiest way to promote Shaolin Temple of BooM is to click that "Like" button to let your friends know, go here http://stob.bandcamp.com/album/duel and just click the "Like" button right under the artwork on the bandcamp page.









Speaking of music for Helloween, check this out this song about 2 lovers surviving an apocalyptic event








Or this track about alien UFO's coming into the picture when humanity loses all reason and destroys itself









 


Speaking of UFOs did you see the UFO's over New York? *cough cough or balloons*  Read about it here shaolintempleofboom.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/ufos-over-new-york/


shaolintempleofboom.wordpress.com/ is my official blog and I will post stories like this of interest as well as all my interviews, like the one I had just 2 days ago with WMUV 88.1 here shaolintempleofboom.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/shaolin-temple-of-boom-interview-with-wmuv-88-1/


be sure to subscribe to my wordpress blog as I will have many interesting stories as well as upcoming interviews posted there.


 


"The Equinox" is still free and is comprised of a different sound, I was experimenting a lot with classic rock sounds from 60s and 70s and mixing it with alternative and electronics, but there are plenty of dark tracks to get you in the Helloween mood such as "I would destroy" which was mixed by Chris Vrenna, grab it FREE! (No email or signup required) and "SHARE" it with your friends.









 


 


That's it for now, I am getting ready to do my first video preview of the new album coming out in 2011 only on my Ping account, if you don't follow me there then you will be missing out because these video previews/blogs are exclusive to followers of SToB on Ping ONLY
