so work is still slowly (really slowly) progressing on my now 7 year long project, but since im bored and going through some old pics i felt like sharing a few horrible rough draft covers/logos from when it first went from a game/graphic novel story pitch to a multi-genre concept album
now just called Tyrant.fall, it's looking to be a 12 track album spanning hip hop, prog rock, folk, house (calmer more ambient shit)> I'd like to share some of the story but I feel like hearing it play out is a large part of the fun of concept albums. When I visualize the story its a futuristic but gritty setting with multiple character arcs intertwined but connected in that they all take place in the same metropolis. The setting itself is heavily influenced by things like Blade Runner, Moon, Children of Men, Total Recall, Dark City and to some extent Hal Life 2's city 17. Aurally a lot of influence from Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Johnny Cash, Cunninlynguists, Outkast, and Bone to name a few.
Still a lot of work to be done, and very little free time to do it (getting married+house shopping+work ect ect). Hope I'll get it finished by years end
