This blog is not as up-to-date as the facebook page, our YouTube channel and G+ page. So as from this year, it is better to check out the other social networks rather than the blog:

1. https://www.facebook.com/skeptikal.mu
2. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrwDytj0hNSNdwVRuXzvm-g
3. https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/101868916410752472004/101868916410752472004/posts

We are also on Twitter, but it seems that all the web traffic is directed towards the 3 above, so we've streamlined our efforts just on those 3 for now.

Cheers.

Looking for a new drummer

We are now officially looking for a new drummer; must be open, committed, of a good level, and communicate well

The Vision

Let's keep our feet on the ground... Our initial vision was to keep doing rock, and try to avoid the cookie cutter song. How long can we stick to this? We definitely write what we like, and though, it may not sound 'appealing' on the first listen, we know that we are passionate somehow about what we are doing.

We never pretended to be technical and are far from being virtuosos, we never had the ambition to write complex solos, but wanted to focus on 'good' song-writing. All those are highly subjective matters.

We slowly upgraded our gear in the last years by buying/selling back older equipment we had, and we are trying to embark on bigger projects, and yes the album is coming out soon, and the album title has already been set.

 \m/ Stay tuned...
JP

The Launch of Omerion

The launch of Omerion was exciting, we will surely collaborate in the near future. And no more live performances for us for quite some time. I guess the focus is elsewhere, well, you know... We'd like to thank everyone for being part of the adventure, we certainly want to push our limits further than this and of course enjoy what we do ;) JP.

.. and the next day

Hitting the studio is like a small step into the wild, we are striving hard and working on it. This is the first proof that we exist

The Crown

The Crown goes to the Crowd. Put it simply, you were awesome and this makes us alive \m/ Some friends/fans have posted a few nice pictures on Facebook. Cheers. JP.

more footprints

The more we walk, the more we realise that the road is long and quite exciting. The last fine-tunings, strings change (we really meant guitars) and well a few meetings before, what-we-ve-been-waiting-for-oh-so-long moment.

A few days before the crucial event

We will focus and will be back

The Fall - Sneak Preview

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6twixFoC__A

A short preview of my guitar parts on 'The Fall' from our band. More stuff coming soon!

We will most probably replace this video soon with an 'HD' version and with the vocal line - which I muted on purpose for this track - to keep focus on the guitar parts.

WANTED! Skeptikal, Escaped, Musical Democracy

How do we sound like? Have a sneak preview of one our home recorded demos, the intro of The Fall: http://bit.ly/sxar9H
