So I guess the actual songwriting for SH started around early 2010 and onwards. This was a very emotional time for me, but it was also the time when I saw Saint Vitus live which made a huge impact on me. One of those rare life changing concerts. So much happened at this time that I don't really have much memories of sitting in the room I had back then and actually working on these songs but it must have happened since I have recordings from that period. I worked on the songs that currently have the titles "Chains of Society" and "Divine Fear". Earlier this year I found a version of Divine Fear with the middle section from Chains as a verse part. I had completely forgotten that I used to play it that way.
Anyway, I'll skip song details for now since they aren't out yet. This period (winter, spring 2010) is a haze of alcohol, snow, melancholy, skipping school and feelings the way I remember it now. The kinda stuff that produces music I guess. I would often, as I still do sometimes, just pick up my guitar whenever I woke up and have a jam. Often playing my riffs to rehearse the songs and occationally change something here and there. After playing I would go for breakfast or go in the shower. During any of these, especially the shower since I had nothing better to think about, I would often go through the songs in my head and imagine them with drums, bass and vocal lines, playing as an entity. Yes, a lot of Strange Horizons material is arranged in the shower.
