   About At War With Self
At War With Self is the project conceived by multi-instrumentalist Glenn Snelwar, best known as one of the guitarists on the Gordian Knot debut which featured members of King Crimson, Cynic, Watchtower and Dream Theater. The debut At War With Self disc, Torn Between Dimensions, featured progressive metal instrumental compositions and Grammy-nominated bassist Michael Manring and Mark Zonder on drums (Fates Warning, Warlord, Slavior). The disc was critically acclaimed and was followed up with the 2007 release, Acts of God. Rather than replicate the debut, Acts of God was a complete re-invention of the project while remaining true to the concept of being progressive. Acts of God saw an entirely new line-up for the project, which was a collaborative effort between bassist Damon Trotta and Snelwar that incorporated new styles and the addition of vocals, and was also received with critical acclaim. A Familiar Path is the third chapter of At War With Self, which is a return to Snelwar’s roots as a musician that maintains the concept of the project changing for each release. The original concept in which Snelwar combined classical guitars into progressive and thrash metal has been re-visited and fully realized with A Familiar Path. The new incarnation of At War With Self features Manfred Dikkers, who joins Snelwar again from the Acts of God sessions on drums and percussion. The tracks on A Familiar Path are “the heaviest, most aggressive and accurate version of what I’ve had in mind for combining metal and progressive influences with classical guitars” says Snelwar. Instrumental tracks such as a hybrid half-classical, half-metal rendition of a Heitor Villa-Lobos guitar study, the Slayer-meets-King Crimson aggression of Concrete and Poison and Diseased State, a new rendering of Reflections originally featured on the debut Gordian Knot disc and the guitar shred of The Ether Trail, are balanced with the vocally-centered title track and Ourselves. A Familiar Path is accompanied with artwork that completes the emotion and intensity inspired by the 42 minutes on the disc.

Hey!
Big thanks man!I guess you know by now how much I appreciate your kind words regarding my music :)
The fact alone that artists like yourself dig my stuff makes me a happy man.
My cd is doing O.K. I guess.
As expected:musicians love it,women hates it haha...
Seriously,I'm not doing this for money and stuff like that,so I'm cool with the response I get.
I take it you're finishing your album too since you're working on cover design?Awesome,it's one of the few things I'm looking forward a lot to hear.
laterzzz...

Thanks for the add, Glenn!! I've gotta say, it was incredible to hear a band (AWWS) capture such a smooth dichotomy in their playing style. It's my life in music!! (Especially "Run")...That's a typical day of work followed by school followed by practice. Are you fellas going to be playing in Michigan (or close to it) anytime soon?
Oh, glad to hear you also appreciate "Losing It"; the time changes on such a dramatic/slower song will forever trip me up on drums...ok, maybe not FOREVER :-)

Man I think your music is pretty cool. Like the different elements put together and your arrangements and chords. Are you using that Fly for those heavy metal tones? Sounds gnarly. Yep I'm just a couple hours north, by Ft. Wayne. :)
