Mission Of One news

Hostile to the Gospel? .. is there something we don't know here, Chris?

You will understand when you hear the song. It was written about how the media seems to want to erase the Christian faith. In that sense, they are the ones that are "hostile to the gospel". You will be able to tell from the other 11 songs that my faith in Christ Jesus is still there. The album will meet even the strictest of "lyrical standards". This is a metal album that does not shy away from the reality that people need Jesus to be right with God.

The song titles are:

(Not final order)

1. Hostile To The Gospel
2. I Know (from previous album with new drum tracks, vocals, and guitar solo)
3. Feed My Sheep
4. Give In To Him (also from previous disc with new solo)
5. The Third Door
6. Crashing Down On You
7. Does Anybody Care?
8. Prodigal
9. No Other
10. Gloryland (metal rendition of old southern gospel hymn "Just Over In The Gloryland)
11. Someone Save Me
12. Walk On Water

The style will be a bit varied (but still metal) this time around. There are three or four songs in a kind of X-Sinner or AC/DC vibe. "I Know" is bluesy and funky. "Gloryland" is also kind of bluesy but in a Whitesnake kind of way. I also kept the souther gospel harmonies for this song to really give a tip of the hat to the original. "Prodigal" would have fit well on Mad At The World"s rock albums (some of Roger's songs, not Randy's). "Someone Save Me" and "Give In to Him" are just straight ahead 80's rockers. The title track is leaning towards power metal. "Does Anybody Care?" is a kind of odd song that I am not sure how to classify. I wrote it in the 90's to be a grunge/alternative song but rearranged it to make it more metal. Like I said, there is some variation on here, but I think it all blends well.

it was a joke, Chris.. it was a joke.. relax man...

sounds awesome, man, and we're all waiting.

I knew that. I just wanted to put it out there what the song was about. Fundy and I wrote the song together.

Wow 12 songs!
Is it ok if I break them into two EPs with 6 songs on each of them?

{{Standing in line for the first release}}

I hope the lyrics of the songs are added to the CD.

Chris,

Thanks for posting so much detailed information about the new album. Would you please also post the album artwork as well. With the artwork I can do a full feature write-up.

Thanks,

Andy

Publicity...fantastic!

I agree with Gary about more publicity for Mission Of One.
When the CD will be released I make a FB message to get more attention for one of my alltime favorite band.

when this is done, I expect to be able to get a Lossless download like FLAC's

I will make that happen for you, Ahlitah. You have my word on that.

Sounds good alldat!

Hopefully I'll have some money to pay for it by the time it released.

If you make it avail, i'll get it.

I just got to hear the first mix of "Crashing Down On You". There is still just a little to adjust in the way of backing vocals, but the song as a whole sounds killer. I never would have gotten the music/mix this clear. Now that the song is taking shape, it has a real Led Zeppelin vibe to it. Hopefully, Jacob can provide me with a short clip to put up on the Facebook page.

I hope that the lead vocal gets dropped in volume just a bit, and the 2nd harmony vocal in the verses gets brought up a bit. But, here's the first draft of "Crashing Down On You".

I don't know how long that link will be active, so listen while you can!

Listening now.

This song is vet gaaf.
Cool drums, cool guitar, cool vocals.
Cool guitar solo.
Yep, I like it.

Very cool, I'm digging the riff and vocals. How were the drums recorded?

By hitting them, silly!


Actually, it is an electric kit with just left/right outputs. So, the drums were recorded totally live but to only two tracks. It's simple, but it's effective!

I thought the cymbals were a little bit louder than they could be, but otherwise the drums sounded pretty good.

When this is mastered, I will have them clip a bit of the high end frequencies and excite a bit more of the low end.

That sounds dirty.

But the song sounds good.

sounds pretty good!

I don't wanna wait for the full album now, I want it NOW

That is HEAVY! It almost has an old school biker hard rock feel to it. Some of the riffs bring to mind Rez Band. I want to hear more!

So do I! I guess this will be a great lesson in patience for all of us.

Sounds great! Roll on the day of the release!
