CONCEPT OF GOD
which features current members of
Solitude Aeturnus:
Robert Lowe
(vocals), Steve Moseley
(guitar) James Martin
(bass) and former Solitude Aeturnus member
John Covington (drums) began in late
1999 not long after Solitude released their fifth album Adagio. As
Solitude entered into what would become their longest break between
albums, music was being written by Steve Moseley for a side project
of a slightly different nature. As fate would have it, Robert Lowe
was also developing a "Concept" for a side project, and presented
Steve with lyrics and ideas that he had been working on. After
agreeing to focus their efforts, the
CONCEPT OF GOD
project began to take shape. John Covington came aboard on drums,
and long time friend River Tunnell
stepped in on bass. This line up played quite a few regional shows
with different keyboard players in the mix as well. Eventually River
was replaced with James Martin whom Steve had worked with in other
projects over the years. In December
2000 after many months of live shows,
this line up entered Pineapple studio
in Arlington Texas to record nine songs. Shortly afterwards problems
arose with Solitude, and side projects were put on hold. The Concept
recordings were never completed.
As band members changed in Solitude, and new material was being
written for their next album Alone, it seemed that the
CONCEPT OF GOD
project would never see the light of day. In
July 2007
after almost seven years the recordings were
taken to
Nomad Studio
in Carrollton Texas and put together in their proper form by the
master engineer Mr. J.T. Longoria.
The album was produced by Steve Moseley and mastered by Steve and
Nomad Studio owner Gary Long.
Massacre Records
in Germany will be releasing this debut album entitled "VISIONS" on
November 9th 2007.
The music is a mix of Power and Doom, with a hint of Technical Edge
that is sure to please fans of Solitude Aeturnus and all who like it
HEAVY.
With artwork from the amazing
Torsten Gebhardt
and layout design from
Richard Peters,
VISIONS has become as much a spectacle for the eyes as it is music
for the ears. This new album from
CONCEPT OF GOD
offers a unique glimpse into the lives of a few Solitude Aeturnus
members during their long hiatus between 1999 and 2006, proving that
true metal is alive and well.
