People Exterminating Thousands of AnimalsSunday, January 1, 2012Hey Everyone, It is with great disgust and a feeling of betrayal that I should have to bring this news upon you. For those of you who don't know, I am a huge supporter of animal rights. I think throughout most of my life, I've had better relationships with animals than I have people. I sought after a way in which I could help make whatever kind of a difference I could in the lives of animals that were being killed or tortured. So, using my ass instead of my brain, I decided I would join up with PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).... or so they call it. Like many, I found the horrible truth of what Ingrid Newkirk was really doing. If you are unaware of this woman's actions, please take a few minutes and read this link: Ingrid Newkirk Should ResignI have since burned every PeTA shirt that I own and cut off all of my funding to this hypocritical, two-faced organization. Help spread this news to all of your friends who are supporters of PeTA. Let them know the truth of the "most popular animals rights group in the world". If you have any questions or suggestions on ways to force her resign, please leave them in my questions box in the Guests section. Thank you all for taking the time to read this post and reflect on it. It's been a pretty rough afternoon for me after hearing this. Better late than never.... - Brian Close
Albums Now Free As MP3 DownloadMonday, November 7, 2011Hey Everyone, I've decided that I'm going to give away every album that I create FREE as an mp3 download on the site, including the first self-titled album. However, the physical albums will still have a price. I'm working with my distributors to ensure that I am able to set the lowest prices possible for them. You will need to click the link of the album you want to download below to receive the ZIP file. If you don't have a program to unzip the file, you can download 7-Zip to unzip. Music was NEVER about money for me, but rather a way to give a piece of my mind to those who are willing to hear it. I think it's only fair that I give back to the people who have supported and stood by my vision as an artist. Thank you so much! It means the world to me.... Really. - Brian Close
Questions and AnswersWednesday, May 25, 2011Hey Everyone, Just a quick reminder: You may go to the Guests section of the website and ask me any questions you would like about practically anything. I'll answer as many questions as I can and if it takes a few days for me to answer, it's because I'm extremely busy. Don't worry though. I will get to your questions. The only thing that I ask is that you don't ask anything too personal, e.g., family questions, questions about other fans, or anything that is explicit. Those types of questions will not be answered. Again, I try to be as thorough and elaborate as possible with my answers, so that you feel like you have a complete answer to your question. Thanks again. - Brian Close
Album Not Released in AugustWednesday, May 25, 2011Hey Everyone, I have determined that there is actually no way I will have The Art of Creation ready by August. In fact, it may not be released until 2012. I've been working as much as possible on it and it's still not exactly where I want it to be. I will keep you all posted on when I have an exact date figured out. It won't be much longer though and I think it will be well worth the extra wait. Thank you all again for your continued support and patience. - Brian Close
Classical/Orchestral EPWednesday, April 13, 2011Hey Everyone, I'm going to do a classical/orchestral reinterpretation of some songs from both SeKtoR 7 and The Art of Creation called Retraced EP. I'll post a poll after the release of The Art of Creation, so that you all can vote on which six tracks you want me to reinterpret. I've posted the album cover for the EP below. - Brian Close
New Website UploadedTuesday, April 12, 2011Hey Everyone, I've finally uploaded the new design for the website. I'll keep posting updates through here. I'm probably shooting for an August release for the album, but that isn't 100% determined yet. I've uploaded a few 30 second clips of some songs that are going on the album. Thanks again for your patience and support. - Brian Close
