Dead Inside The Chrysalis album on the way

The Humanoid Expansion Pack updates...

We r finishing up production for the HEX Pack this week... this album has been 2 years in production and an after-life-time in the making and its sounding ultimately necromantically orange juice... we r putting the final touches to the outro track [esc]- a droney brain-washing track that'll alter your mind and tune you into the alternate dimension of Earth 2.0... as well as that we r mixing down 2 new versions of Pump-Action now renamed Release Your Freak- both versions feature the ultra-dread sexy voice of Fluffy Starr... one version is upbeat dark electroclash kinda vibe created by Craig Sue and myself- i'm lovin the vibe of this and damn me to hell i think you will to... the other is a happy top 40 pop tune that i've been working on with album producer dude Lamar that i'm sure will infiltrate the mainstream air-ways with its B52's like charm... its a quirky disposable track that i'm sure your attention spans won't even register... so i'll give it away to the pop-charts or store it in a can of spaghetti if Andy Warhol says i can...

other tracks i'm completely exstatic over-

new tune- Dread Lock... somewhat of an epic anthem for DITC with its dread-wave qualities... lyrically speaking its about being stuck in the shell of something you don't wanna be- the sense of dread you feel when you're not realising your dreams... starts off with the lyric "Somewhere over the rainbow my obituary lies" i really pushed my vocals on this track- people have said i kinda sound a bit like Ziggy Stardust in the chorus- reaching the heights of my voice... also features a guest appearance by J Karsten from Vanity Beach... it think you're all gonna dig this track.

Hyper is souding well... hyper! its a slamming rock tune with dumbed-down lyrics so u don't have to think to much when you're chucking a spaz to the strobe-lights on the blue-light disco floor... synths, bass and guitar melded into a perfect dread-wave sound. I'm really happy with how this track turned out... its gonna warp your mutant minds.

All In Vogue- this is complete cyber-glam... harmonies galore. This track will hit you in the brain straight away and will probably retard you for a year.

Neon- this is my call out to all the alien girls, girls, girls and androgenous boys, boys, boys from the future, i wanna be one with the Hyper-Kind.... this track goes into the light, reaches heaven and brings something back to a far-flung Blade Runner future world.

and ah yes, the inevitable cover track of Alice Cooper's Poison- staying true to the original as well as adding our own dread-wave flavour and bringing in some new elements and big production- this track is for us, the deadites, hair-metal bands and Alice Cooper himself... hope you enjoy it as much as i liked singing it.

ok that being said here is the final track-listing (i think) for the album:

1. Install
2. Future Shock
3. All In Vogue
4. Neon
5. Hyper
6. Dread Lock (featuring J karsten)
