Democracy does not work. It doesn’t work in Germany nor does it work in the US. I don’t know any countrys where it works. Many people say that they are living free, but i don’t feel this is true. However, Democracy does not work in Software Development nor does it work in Heavy Metal Bands. I do not know lots of good (!) democratic bands. Most of my favourites are one-man-shows or one-man-shows with a stable line up. May it be Sodom or maybe Sisters Of Mercy, say Bathory or one of the Bands at Barbarian Wrath or similar.
However, despite this i imagined that having a band would be any good; i know, beginning with this year i told everybody that i am fed up with “band feelings”, then turned to “bands are more effective”. Now i am back to:”bands doesn’t work; it don’t work in a democratic way nor does it work when having a tyrant”.
Story is: i was promised to receive the new Cultes des Goules tracks before one or two weeks and say what, it’s not possible anymore. I received an e-mail in which Azmo and Timothy told me that they had a huge computer crash. They told me that their webserver has gone down; all data lost. Unfortuneatly all the CDG tracks where there, and they have no backup. End of story, all data lost, no work done, still at the beginning.
This was frustrating. This brought me a depression, again. Together with shit-soundcard from Terratec, this were two horrible (for me) scenarios i didn’t count with. However, after lots of whiskey (thanks, Ardbeg Distillery!) i feel better now. I wrote an e-mail to Timothy, asking, if they want to continue. But they didn’t seem to want. However, to go with my statement above, i put an end to this. I’ll wait now for my new equipment, the Phonic Firefly, and start to record myself. For this i bought a new guitar (for solos, guys, never play solos with a bass guitar haha). Songs aren’t too difficult, it’s everything about atmosphere. So i have a good chance to create an atmosphere, doom album myself, within my own timetable, with my own unique sound and without waiting for other people.
Sad story. I think i’ll have to move the release date from “end of this year” to “middle of 2008, maybe June”. We’ll see how quick i’ll be. Thanks to my friend Black Goat / Barbarian Wrath; he told me that constellation wouldn’t work before ages, and i didn’t believe him. Now i will.
