LIFE FROM DEATH - 8 YEARS LATER
The metal world suffered a great loss that somber December 13th. Most casual listeners of the genre had maybe heard the name in passing and maybe had dark and ominous thoughts. But, with Death, Chuck Schuldiner affirmed his life.
He didn't see the need to create walls and divide music into categories. He didn't see the need to limit his style and music to "fit a mold" or to "sound like everything else". Chuck inspired many other up-and-coming metal icons and helped single handedly pioneer what would become another branch of the "Metal Tree", yet "commercial success" eluded him. His family and his peers giving their time and services to help where medical insurance would not is a testament to his impact and influence to the Metal community. Each and everyone of them knew that he would have done the same for them 1000x over.
How does one gauge "success"?
Main Entry: suc·cess Pronunciation: ..sək-ˈses.. Function: noun Etymology: Latin successus, from succedere Date: 1537 1 obsolete : outcome, result 2 a : degree or measure of succeeding b : favorable or desired outcome; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence 3 : one that succeeds
Throughout battling his illness, he still had the same passion to create music and play it because he loved it. Not because "it paid the bills" not because "he had to" but because he HAD to. THAT is his SUCCESS. Chuck once described himself as "a lover of life", and "animals." "I would like to live forever, if it was possible", he once said in an interview. Well, it's safe to say, your legacy and your music will never endure death.
Check out Part One of a series of interviews and live footage. And remember, "METAL is METAL", his words, NOT mine! So either do your homework and see where credit is due, or remember and celebrate an amazing life and musician. Go CRANK some DEATH and CONTROL DENIED!
Thank You for NOT seeing boundaries in music. Thank You for the instilled hope and love, and teaching us to never curse fate. Thank You for your inspiration, but most of all, THANK YOU for your PASSION of Life, Family, and Music!
See You On The Other Shore!
~TWBD~
RIP BROTHER

As you may have read on December 8th, I posted a blog about Dime's passing commenting on how quickly five years seems to have gone by, and his immeasurable impact on the music world. Although these words, posted only on our MySpace page, were meant solely for the eyes of our fans, family and friends, somehow the blog made its way to an international metal news website. While it is SUPER humbling to think any of our heartfelt words are deemed newsworthy, anyone who knows us personally understands we (THY WILL BE DONE) would never make a statement for the purpose of publicity. Furthermore, any formal statements the band makes have always been, and will always be, made by the band or its representation about material that concerns THY WILL BE DONE and THY WILL BE DONE only.
My blog post about Dime was no different than my blogs thanking fans for coming out to shows, or the blogs wishing you all the best holiday season (although, I can see the headline now, "THY WILL BE DONE Wishes Everyone A Great Holiday Season"). It was no different than radio dj's offering their remembrance, journalists remembering and posting their favorite Dime interviews, or the countless fans who undoubtedly visited his grave this week.
Some people went so far as to assume no one in this band ever knew Dime, and my blog post was a mere calling for cheap publicity. That it was a playing of the "Dime Card" by an "irrelevant shitty little band looking for some undeserved attention." Truth is, we weren't there that night, and we didn't know Dime personally - although some of our friends and peers did. We know Dime was a great musician, but we also know he was a greater human being bettering every life he touched. So no, we weren't there that night, but we were there standing in line buying cassettes (not downloading them) and concert tickets to hear and see the band.
The most important line in my post, although seemingly the one everyone missed, was "Thank you for the inspiration, thank you for the riffs, but most of all, THANK YOU for your LOVE of LIFE!" The most important message, however, wasn't mine. It was Dime's. Did you watch the video? Dime was making a tremendous point on the state of music. Something I believe and something I wanted to share.
It's a sad day when someone can't celebrate a life taken too early without being criticized and accused of doing it for backhanded cheap publicity. And just as a head's up, on December 13th I will be sending out a blog on Chuck Schuldiner. So if you're a hater, gather your thoughts now. But if you're one for celebrating rather than hating, get ready to celebrate with me.
PEACE

5 Years Gone & We Still Mourn
I don't think a single fan of Heavy Metal will EVER forget that extra cold December day in 2004.
Our mundane lives were abruptly interrupted and December 8th forever changed the way we look at ourselves and the world around. It changed how we listened to his music.
Now, we don't just "listen" to his music, we LISTEN to his music and feel it on a completely different level.
If only we had this genuine appreciation for life automatically without having to first suffer a tragedy. If only we could embrace LIFE and LIVE it and appreciate all life to it's fullest, like DIME did! THAT is his true legacy!
So, whatever your thing is: burn some candles in his honor, BlackTooth Grins, smoke a bowl, share stories, watch some videos, DO IT! BUT most importantly, blast PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN's cathartic tunes and shout your lungs out!!!
Please, watch what I feel is one of the most important messages about music and preserving its true energy. Thank you for the inspiration, Thank you for the riffs, but most of all, THANK YOU for your LOVE of LIFE!
See You On The Other Shore!

THY WILL BE DONE is currently writing, re-writing, tweaking, and rehearsing new material for the next album in our home base of Providence, RI. The as-yet-untitled forthcoming effort is tentatively expected to surface sometime in early 2009 and will be the follow-up to 2007's "Was And Is To Come".
As the year comes to an end, we've started to debut new material at recent shows to gauge some reactions and so far, the results have been positive. 2008 was spent not only touring but also writing and demoing new material; throughout the whole year. Make no mistake, this was in no way a result of any negative feelings towards our debut. We're very pleased and were quite overwhelmed with the warm reception "Was And Is To Come" received. It is merely a result of the drive of friends with a common goal and a shared passion to create music.
We always hear everything about people's opinion on "Was And Is To Come". We hear it's great, we hear it sucks, we hear it's weak, we hear it's strong. Truth is we actually respect that everybody's got an opinion, and that's fine. We can't really please the whole world, so we mainly try to please ourselves. You can't satisfy everybody, ever. Everybody always has their way to make it better. Collectively we feel that we somehow, most likely subconsciously, always manage to avoid the trap that it seems a lot of modern musicians run in to. It often appears there are so many that listen to everybody else or go with whatever's hot at the moment and get caught up in those kinds of influences. I'd say we're not thinking that way at all. We've just been writing music that we'd like to hear and we think some others will dig it.
I won't wax poetic when asked why the band has been demoing material for the next album throughout the course of the past year. We just want to know exactly what we're doing when we go into the studio as to not waste time. We usually don't get all that much. If it's anything like the last time its: record, sleep on the floor, couch, or if we do record with Zeuss again, sleep on the bed in the band house for a couple hours, wake up super early, drive to work 2 or 3 hours away, work all day, drive back to the studio, record, and repeat. The price to pay being a working class band. But, it's worth it to us. No complaints here. More importantly, we want to come out with a quality product that we ourselves would buy, and that hopefully any fans we do have will like. That's important to us.
Though still in the process of writing the new songs, we're eager to add fresh material and ideas to our repertoire. One thing we're hoping for is (that) no matter where the listener is; wherever they are on their path of life — (that) there's going to be so many layers to the lyrics and music for everyone to gain something from. When making music, that's the main purpose. We're hoping that people will turn on that music and get inspiration.
....And rest assured, this album promises to be the most radio-friendly, cookie-cutter, chock full o' the same clean crooning chorus in every song, that from the first note you'll be sure to scream, "SELL OUTS!" Afterall, we've decided to merge Rapcore and Funk Polka to make our sound. It proves to be the "Easy Listening Favorite of 2009". Oh yeah, and we've got 9 breakdowns in every song.
To everyone that has read this and has cared for and has supported this band in any way, Thank You! Your support of this band has proven that when coupled with hard work and sacrifice, dreams do come true. Stay tuned for more on the new songs. Much Love and Maximum Respect.
PEACE
~J~
