Just updated as of January 11, 2009 *sorry for the long delay in updates!*
Visions of Reality is a project, or more like, a collection of songs written by J. Cavallaro aka "Rex Hartman" (myself). I write stuff that ranges from power metal to extreme metal. I want to start a Christian metal band that incorporates all the styles of metal. Check out some of my favorite bands in influences to get an idea of what I like. For me, the main ingredients for an awesome song is have these 3 ideas: fast, heavy, and melodic. A little bit of technicality is good too.
I play guitar, and have been for more than 10 years. I also play bass for my church's worship team and Christian punk band Preachers(617). I wrote one song called "Hate Speech" which is a killer Vengeance/The Crucified style oldschool hardcore/punk song. I am also a decent singer. My styles are rock, thrash metal, power metal (oh yeah!), and even occasioanally death/black metal vocals. My ideal is to be the lead singer/rhythm guitar player in the band and to have someone who is a dedicated shredder play along side me so that we can create awesome dual-guitar melodies.
I have over a dozen songs written over the past few years. It's not that many because I care for quality over quantity. I'd probably only release an album once every few years to make sure it's really good (similar to Tourniquet). No filler tracks or B-side tracks for me. :) Of course they range in style, so a couple albums could be made out of them. I've also toyed around with the idea of doing a Christian classic metal cover album, and I already have the songs I want to do picked out.
Lyrical content: The lyrical content of the band/project will be boldly Christian with no apologies. Themes will include pro-God subjects, morality, end times, messianic teachings and prophecy, spiritual and anti-evolution (intelligent design). One of the newest songs I've written is called "The Satanic Conspiracy", which is a thrash/death song about the conspiracy of evolution and it's mission to take God out of everything, even the reasons we exist. More to come on this later.
Visions of Reality thanks to everyone who has spread the word about this, we now are the FASTEST GROWING label and production service for independent artirts. Infact we just had to upgrade our webhost because we had so many page views the website crashed! The more people find out about us the more praise we get for what we're doing for independent artists, keep it up, keep spreading the word!
Below are thumbnails of actual cd's we've produced
We've finally released the website for independent artists who want to get on a label who'll produce and sell their music for them. Since we just released the website we're re-running this graphic in peoples comments, click on the graphic to visit the website.
Megiddo any band that has enough material for a cd but no way to produce it should definately check this out, after our success with producing our own CD's we thought we should help others out who need their cd produced as well!!
