Coyote in the Graveyard will be Thanatos' first physical release since 1997's Blisters. And the Kickstarter to fund the record is live now HERE.
This isn't just a record but music, a small book and a painting project. There were a number of things that inspired me to think about doing this but the obstacle (to me) was thinking "but I have nothing written." Then I realized I DID and it was a collection of writings that I had tentatively titled Coyote in the Graveyard--it wasn't short stories, it wasn't essays, it wasn't the bones of a novel. It was just a bunch of disconnected but related writings. It was the sort of thing I very rarely write.
And it sort of begs to be turned into songs in some cases.
As I thought on this record I decided that I wanted it to be more like the first two I did (with some exceptions). I need to keep myself engaged so...TWO things I decided but haven't told anyone yet.
The first is that I plan to play ALL the guitars on this record. On Blisters they are all William Tucker (why the HELL would I play if he was playing). On the two projects I did after that I played but a lot of the guitars were handled by Greg Lucas on the Illegalteenagebikini I Am Not Job record and by Tim Larson on The Exterminating Angel. Both far better guitarists than ME but I need to do it myself.
The second thing is that, unlike my last two LPs I think this one will be more like the first two--long! I am going to try to make this 20 songs or in the neighborhood.
Also...asking around for some special guests for this LP. More on that soon.
Remember the Kickstarter. Help and repost the link if you can.
