As I've mentioned before, the new album is a bit more upbeat than "If The Heavens Should Fall", though it still has quieter moments like the albums before.

I want to say thank you again to everyone who has taken the time to write, both here and on myspace. I am very thankful for the kind words and support you have given me throughout the years.

There is a new interview up at www.virus-mag.com. ACoT talks with Tracy Taylor of Virus Magazine about the past, present and future, as well as the progress of the new album.

There are also new photos from a recent photo shoot in the Photos section.

Thanks again for everything.

I know it's been quite a while since any new photos were added to the site, so there are now four new photos in the Photos section. I hope you enjoy them.

An RSS section has also been added to the site. You will see RSS icons around the site. Click on these and you will be taken to an RSS page where you can sign up to get A.C.O.T. news in your RSS reader.

Aside from the site upgrades, recording for the new album has been going very well. The music tracks for about half of the album have been recorded. Along with those, I have been working on putting the last touches on the lyrics and doing some last minute arranging on the remaining unrecorded songs.

Thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement and the interest in the new album. I really appreciate it.

As many of you know, A Covenant of Thorns is back in the studio, working on a third album. I am pleased to say that things are coming along nicely. All of the songs and lyrics have been written and I am in the process of working on the last handful of arrangements. I have also begun recording the individual tracks.

I really appreciate all of the messages and encouragement I have been receiving. It really means a lot to me.

I will be updating the site when I can to try and get some more current information up as well.

Thanks again for everything.
Scott-David]]> Fri, 2 Feb 2007 03:20:00 CST HazMat Radio. HazMat Radio plays some of my favorite music and I am honored to be a part of things.

Next, thanks to everyone for the emails and messages about the new album. Although still in the early stages, things are coming along nicely. At the moment, I am working on a few of the drum parts and in general getting things tightened up a bit. More later. Thanks for listening.

So far, the album is somewhat of a cross between the two previous ones. It is a bit more upbeat than the last and most of the sounds are new, but it still retains a bit of the feel of the other two. I will write more when I get further into it. Thanks again to everyone.
Scott-David]]> Thurs, 1 Feb 2007 03:20:00 CST
Two big things to talk about: First, "If The Heavens Should Fall" is now available in the iTunes store. I am going to try to find the time to get "Hallowed & Hollow" up as well, but that may take a while considering the second piece of news.

I have begun work on the third album. A release date is still a ways off, but it is in the works.

P.S. The Email Sign-up is back up and running again.

Thanks again to everyone for listening and purchasing the albums. It means a lot.

It has taken a while, but the new CD is mixed and mastered. Gord from Dream Disciples mixed and mastered it. He did a really great job and I am very happy with it.

The new CD will be titled "If The Heavens Should Fall". I will be getting the masters back within the next few weeks and after that, it will be sent off to be pressed. In the mean time, I will be putting up a few tracks in the Audio section under Multimedia of this site, as well as on Darkcell Digital Music. Check back here soon for details (I promise I'll write) or sign up for the Email Sign-up and you will be the first to know when the songs are available.

Thanks to everyone for being so patient. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Next, I guess it is no secret that mp3.com has been purchased by cnet.com. On Dec. 2nd, everything on mp3.com will be deleted and cnet.com will introduce their version of mp3.com. At the moment, only cnet.com knows what that will entail. In the meantime though, I am not going anywhere. You can still buy Hallowed & Hollow at Darkcell Digital Music and I will work on getting some mp3s up on this site as soon as I can.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me or leave a message on the message board. Thanks again.

Scott-David]]> Thurs, 1 Feb 2007 03:20:00 CST Email Sign-up. I would also like to invite anyone else who wants to, to do so as well.

You will also be the first to know when the new album will be released. Thanks again.
