Once released this will mean I&#8217;ve managed to complete the writing, recording and engineering of 44 solo tracks across 5 different genres in 5 months &#8211; all in a basic home studio just 4.5 square metres. That will be mission complete. To those who said it could not be done, I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t listen to you. To those that want to knock it, pick holes and criticise what you have not done, I&#8217;m still not listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the 5 albums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Break the Silence. Blues rock influenced by Gov&#8217;t Mule &amp; Black Country Communion.<br>2. Neverlution. Modern blues influenced by Jonny Lang, Rory Gallagher, Warren Haynes, Dan Patlansky<br>3. Undertow. Modern and alternative rock influenced by Alice in Chains, Foo fighters, Audioslave &amp; many more.<br>4. Mississippi Rising. Classic rock influenced by the likes of Free &amp; early Aerosmith.<br>5. Chapters of Hate. Heavy metal (a mix of sub genres) influenced by Down, Megadeth &amp; Metallica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kolvanna - about the 5 albums\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/swlVvYd3nTM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Single 22.11.2024 I&#8217;ve been working on new music the last few months, although it&#8217;s taken more of a back seat to other priorities.
