comments on the new song, Tony Reeds comments
the track :"ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN MAJESTY was
riffed out and recorded in about 15 minutes. Shawn
and I did a demo of it and when I sat down and
started to work on it the next day i realized that the
drum track on this demo was killer! It had all of the
fire and expression that Shawn would have live.
I tracked the guitars and performed the vocals over
the course of the next day and here it is. Our love
for heavy rock, metal, and melody all come together
in this tune."
