At last.. 8 years after the inception of The Reckoning, I am proud to say that the debut album 'Defining Armageddon' is officially released today, Saturday 1st December 2012 !
The album is available only on itunes here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/defining-...don/id582769836 Here's a couple of tracks from the album, featuring a couple of names you may recognise.. Daniel Realpe and Piotr Kaczor Wall of Eyes, Daniel Realpe takes the 2nd solo !! Hour of Lament, Piotr Kaczor also takes the 2nd solo !! I've been asked a lot about releasing the album on cd but the time isn't right yet because 1. I can't afford it and 2. I'd probably only sell about 10 and be left with hundreds of cd's I can't shift so for the time being it's digital only  Hope you guys like it.. now you finally get to hear exactly the kind of thing I write and how I play ! |

JUST BOUGHT MINE!!!! It's KIIIIIILLLLLLEERRRRR!!!!! AWESOME!!! MEGA MONDO CONGRATS!!!! CD's are dead anyway Digital Distribution is global and has zero printing costs! Skip the "Value Added Plastic" IMHO. Can you see sales stats and such?

Not me? YOU!!!!!!! RAAAWWWWWWKKKKKK!K!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you going through TUNECORE? If not, check them out as they will put your music EVERYWHERE online including Spotify!! http://www.tunecore.com Handily, they converted the money from POUNDS in to DOLLARS on iTunes Have you put it up on QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Dec 1 2012, 01:51 PM) TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD ! YOU RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULE !!!
Thank you very much my friend !! I agree about the digital thing. I think CD's are great and I'll still buy them but they're only worth it if you have a record company behind you and/or huge fanbase.I will be able to view the stats sometime in January !
