the downside to them is limited space for lyrics and other notes and/or art. Looking into options and costs; I'll let everyone here know once the time comes. Could always just include an insert tucked into it. Like, I've seen digipaks with "sleeves" specifically made for holding lyric booklets, or bonus discs etc As for the artwork, that looks AWESOME! Edit: Shoot, just started a new page. Well, here's vialsofwrath 's newest update from the last page, make sure to check it out! Hey everyone! Wanted to give an update on the comp… Contributions are starting to come in. So far we have tracks from Synkretismos Mutare , Glavkdur, Through The Thorns, Orationem, and myself (Vials of Wrath). I've talked with a couple of other bands, but they're not ready to commit just yet. I'm pushing to have this ready for distribution and to sell by the end of March – same as last year. In doing so, the Feb. 1st deadline is still pretty solid. However, with that being less than a month out, I don't have many submissions yet. So if we don't have enough to fill the album by then, I may extend it further. After having so many great bands on it last year, we need to try to match that if at all possible. Also wanted to reveal the artwork. This is an original custom piece from a fan/friend of mine who posts stuff on Deviantart.com. He works with watercolor and ink, and did this on a very inexpensive commission. I'm considering doing digipacks this time, but the downside to them is limited space for lyrics and other notes and/or art. Looking into options and costs; I'll let everyone here know once the time comes. Any questions or comments, hit me up in an email ( vialsofwrath@yahoo.com), or on a Facebook Message, as those are the two quickest ways to reach me. I'll be doing my best to get on here at least once a week between now and the deadline for the comp as well. I think that's it for now. God bless and get those songs in!

I will definitely try to get my track in over the weekend. If we still need more, I have a revised Álfablót track I could contribute.

I REALLY dont think I'm gonna get my "original vision" pulled off at this point. There are just TOO MANY pieces of the machine not really in place.
Time for "plan B", thought I will be working on both ideas in the hopes that life cooperates far more than it should....

my wife and I are going to take a trip and I'm going to try to get some video footage for this. I think this will be more like a lyric video than a music video, but I'm planning on doing a little more than just footage with subtitles. I'm gonna fancy it up a bit. Well, taking the video was on schedule.... but I haven't sat down and compiled a video yet. I blame pain. Just can't bring myself to work on this since my back went out on top of healing from this surgery...

Made a lot of progress on my song today It's turning out a little differently than I originally thought, but it's still going to be VERY creepy/ominous. Black/doom stuff with an "aquatic" atmosphere. I still have a ways to go on it, but if I actually work on it over the next couple days or so (and not keep putting it off like I tend to do with things) I'll 100% have it done in time

Time for "plan B", thought I will be working on both ideas in the hopes that life cooperates far more than it should.... Plan B is ~75-80% done, should have the rest of the fine tuning taken care of tonight. Very different from "Plan A", also very different from last year's track.

Re tracked every single portion of the song last night. Got a few lead/accent/whatever you want to call it spots of guitar I'm not entirely happy with, but it's ready to put drums to......short track for me, too. Surprised myself a little.

Hey everyone. Tracks are still trickling in – we are up to 8 tracks so far, with a few more trying to commit. With this being the case, and because I've been a little under the weather the past week due to a surgery, I'm extending the deadline by 3 weeks until Feb. 21st. Hopefully this gives everyone, myself included, time to organize and produce something they are pleased with and not feel rushed. I'll be sending out the "consent statements" via email (same as last year) sometime in the coming days. Appreciate everyone's continued interested and support of this project. I've received nothing but positive feedback about last year's release. Thanks!

I sold some copies to Nordic Mission at Brainstorm Festival last edition. They were quite interested in it. Maybe you/we can contact them again?

Just can't bring myself to work on this since my back went out on top of healing from this surgery... Lazy or not, dunno. Had a change of heart regarding a video of this track. I think it would have a higher "value" being exclusive to this comp right now. Will I add it later to my channel? Probably - but I'm not going to kill myself producing some over the top video for it.

SO I GOT MY SONG IN WITH HARDLY ANY TIME TO SPARE LOLOL I can't guarantee it'll be on since it's so last-minute but eh I kind of asked for that. But hopefully there's enough time left on the disc! About six minutes, Bozkath, experimental and creepy as always, the mixing/production isn't ... "perfect" hahaha but considering I did it in a little over 2 hours (AND two sound files refused to import so I had to wing those sections post-recording) it's not bad! Hahahahahahaha I love sharing music but I'm always so nervous everybody's going to hate it

STATUS UPDATE: As of Feb. 21st (the most recent deadline goal for submissions), we have 10 tracks for the next compilation - including my own. Last year's release had 15 songs. While 10 still makes for a good amount, I'm going to give it just a few more days before no more submissions will be accepted. Having said that, I'm still going to production with the album layout, pre-release promotions, and a few other things. If anyone would still like to submit a song, or knows of another band/artist who may like to be featured, please let me know asap. The album WILL go to manufacturing March 8. Email "consent to publish" contracts will be going out now; please fill in the pertinent info and reply right away. I'll be working on another promo video in the coming days, and will post a link to it here so everyone can share it on your respective media pages if you'd like.
In no particular order, here are the bands & songs being featured on this release so far: 1. Dolenear - "Stormen uit het Western" 2. Sacred Revelation - "The Seven Plagues" 3. Orationem - "The Blackest Light" 4. Through the Thorns - "Awaiting Salvation" 5. Ghlavkdur - "Moratorium" 6. Synkretismos Mutare - "God Creation" 7. Toreva - "One True Church, One Teaching, Once Truth" 8. Vials of Wrath - "The Ways of Old" 9. Bozkath - "The Might of God, Exemplified Through Water" 10. Stormsinger - "Race the Rising Sun"
On a side note, I'm also finishing up my own next full length album, which has been a struggle to complete to be honest. Lots of life events and trials have affected me personally, but God is in control and I'm persevering! The results of this will probably be noticeable lyrically on my album…
My prayers go out to you, Thomas, during your trials physically, and to all here on the forum as we work together to bring light into a dark place. Thanks to all who continue to be a part of the extreme Christian metal scene by your support in creating, purchasing and sharing everyone's music and art!
God bless.

Also GREAT to hear my first song made the deadline! I hope it doesn't suck, haha, Also sorry to hear you've been dealing with stuff in your personal life, I'll pray for you!

Wanted to note I overlooked another artist who is contributing, that did indeed send his track in earlier: Nattesorg - "Victims of Deception." It was sent to me while away on a work trip, and the file was saved to my work computer… This brings the album count to 11 songs. In order to meet the production date of March 8th (as noted earlier), no songs will be accepted after March 2nd. This will allow time to finalize album layout, do a promo video, and begin with pre-orders. As before, all contributing bands/artists will receive one free copy, and be able to purchase more at a discounted cost for resell in quantities of 4 (8, 12, 16, etc.). Please email me directly if interested in bulk purchases, and note my email address is now officially: vialsofwrathmusic@gmail.com This change is due to an overwhelming amount of spam I've been receiving lately via yahoo email. I've nearly overlooked a few other submissions because of this! Thanks again everyone, and I really look forward to having the album produced. There are some great songs on it again this year, and I think everyone will enjoy it. God bless

Today is the final day, my friends! All submissions are in and verified. No more will be accepted until next year (if we do another one). Some really great songs this time… can't wait to share them with everyone. I'll be working on the promo video over the weekend, and posting the preorder link on the Fallen Oak site. A few artists have already asked to order some extras; I anticipate this one going fairly quickly just as last year. Again, this will be a very limited release of 100 (not including the 11 for the bands/artists). A huge thanks to all for your support – with both contributions and purchasing the album! I will be posting a link to the promo video, pre-orders and such soon!

Promo video is ready to share: Pre-order link: fallenoakrecording.bigcartel.com/product/hymns-of-the-blackest-light-vol-2I decided to up the print copies just a bit to 125, since we ran out so fast last year. This still keeps it a rare/collectible, but at least there are a few more available. Looking into the shirt today; waiting to hear from a couple of sources. Will probably use the same one that does my own shirts, as these are "print-on-demand" and there is no investment up front in inventory. I'll post within the next few days if this is going to pan out… Please re-post and share the links to all your social media accounts! Let's once again spread some light into a dark scene! Thanks!
