Hours Of Mishade - Music

This Silence Powerful Began As A Solo Project In 2004 When Alex Hay Ditched His Drum Kit And Picked Up The Guitar While Attending College In Arizona. Over The Next Several Years He Began Hatching Song Ideas And Piecing Riffs Together While Simultaneously Scrawling Out Lyrics To Accompany The Music. After A Year Of Writing Hay Met Up With Long Time Friend And Drummer Marc Davis Who Had Coincidently Taken Over His Drumming Duties In The Metal Band Conscender. After Hearing Some Rough Demos Davis Agreed To Work On The Project But They Would Have Some Communication And Space Barriers To Overcome. The Two Relied Heavily On E-Mail To Share Song Ideas And Lyrics. During Intermittent Periods Of Jamming During School Breaks Hay And Davis Developed Their Material And Were Able To Acquire Another Guitarist In The Form Of Daniel Peterson Another Friend And Member Of Conscender. The Summer Of 2006 Finally Allowed The Three Ample Rehearsal Time To Work Through The Material And Write 11 Tracks For An Album. The Group Headed To Sacramento’s Pus Cavern Recording Studio And Tracked The Entire CD Over An 8 Day Period. ”The Mirror Within” Encompasses A Variety Of Rock Styles As Apparent From The Straightforward Modern Groove Of “In Degrees” To The Intensely Progressive Feel Of The Album Closer “Waste.” While The Band Explores Many Paths And Feels Throughout They Cling To An Original Blend Of Dynamics Driving Rhythm And Interwoven Melody. read less
