Fozzy’s new album “Chasing The Grail” is almost finished. We’ve been in the studio for the last several months working on our follow up to “All That Remains” and this one will not dissapoint! I am contributing a 13 minute progressive metal opus to the cd entitled “Wormwood”. Mr. Jericho penned all of the lyrics and I went into a fever dream to compose an epic work about the end of the world. I’m very pleased with it. Some of my best writing and guitar work to date. Also a a display of my classical composing style, string arranging skill and vision as a producer. It will be a stand out track on what is already anticipated to be Fozzy’s best record yet! We are all very excited to say the least!

More gear news coming very soon as well. But very briefly, I am pleased to announce that I am now endorsing Peavey Guitars! I have been working in a few of the Rotor models around Atlanta and one has been used entirely to record “Wormwood”. I’ll be going through the details of this axe in a podcast soon. This is a great pairing for me as I have been an avid Peavey amp user for many years!

Lot’s more news coming soon. Stay Tuned!

The first episode of “Mike’s Notes” Podcast! This introductory show is all about who I am and just what I think I’m doing by producing a podcast in the first place! All this while my album “2 of 5″ plays in it’s entirety in the background.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things have been crazy for the last several months but here’s the quick news.

- I’ve totally reworked my website!
www.mikemartin.net
- I’ve become a full time member of Stuck Mojo!
www.stuckmojo.us
Check out both sites for details in the news including new videos, blogs, podcasts and tour information.

I recognize that the record industry is changing. More and more people are downloading music instead of buying CD’s.
So here is what we are doing:
Stuck Mojo’s new CD “Southern Born Killers” is available to download for FREE from our website.
Give it a spin (or a download) and if you like it, buy it direct from us in CD format with full artwork and the highest audio quality.

My Instrumental CD “2 of 5″ is now available to download for FREE!
It has been available on iTunes for some time now but the word on the street is that most people feel that $.99 song is too expensive.
So I’m making it available in as many formats as I can.
- I’ve reduced the price of the CD “2 of 5″ to include shipping and handling!
Highest audio quality, liner notes and a physical widget to have and hold!
- iTunes format available at iTunes.com
- 128kbps MP3 available on my site to listen to or download for FREE.
All I ask is that you sign up for my email list so that when I’m booking shows I know where I’m getting downloaded and will play in your town!

Like every band, I would love to sell a few hundred-thousand CD’s. We put a lot of work, sweat, love, blood and money into our projects.
I want everyone to have my music. That’s what we all want!

Music is meant to be performed.
Tell everyone to download my album, sign my mailing list and come to a show!

As always, I appreciate your comments and support.
Thanks to everyone who has purchased the CD or iTunes format and for keeping up with me!
Peace,
Mike Martin
