This year for Omen Faculty has been very rewarding in its successes through endeavors from being featured on a compilation album, my first online radio interview, getting airplay on various radio stations, and getting positive feedback on the latest release SOUNDS OF THE SIXTEENTH DUNGEON. My biggest fear with this body of work was that it would come off overwhelming, forced, or rushed in the perspective of fans. But from what I’ve received in responses, people actually liked it and some even loved it. With a work consisted of 60 songs which definitely broadcasted musical fusion of everything I personally listen to, some people, to my surprise, wanted more. From the likes of Bowie, Johnny Cash, Celldweller, KMFDM which have become my latest musical inspirations, I wanted to bring that to light through my music. Which obviously impressed people and gave me motivation to continue on that path without having to go backwards. The hardest part of this was the promotion aspect of it and I’m not talking about the money part either – trust me, $20 a month in promotions will help in some degree or so. But the difficulty in the promotion was trying to figure out which main genre (not sub-genres) I heavily fall into. I’m not entirely metal, I’m not entirely industrial, I’m not entirely rock. Did I get a lot of misses when I promoted Omen Faculty in the metal genre – yes, probably because I wasn’t straight-forward metal or they felt that I suck, who knows and who cares. I was more content and focused on where I hit and all the positive results that came out of it. As long as I wasn’t a major failure with Omen Faculty or with SOUNDS OF THE SIXTEENTH DUNGEON, I’m very happy I got somewhere than nowhere or having to go backwards. What’s next for Omen Faculty in 2018 – I wish I have a definite answer and not leave you guys with an empty promise of a new release. I am working on new music and probably will be throughout the year. Since I’m a music junkie or audiophile and always buying instruments and software, the list of songs just keeping getting longer and longer. With projects in the works that consist of the following: a series of new music of course, a series of cover songs, a series of re-recordings of my older material, and an EP of re-recordings of selected songs from my previous musical entities “Year of The Antichrist” and “Psykho Alejandro”. So, who’s to say when I’ll be finished with any of the upcoming projects. But, each one will be spaced out between each other so I don’t have to feel that I’m overwhelming you guys. In addition, I’m gonna be kinda under a rock next year while trying to finish up a fraction of these projects. So keep posted for updates. To everyone who supported and helped out Omen Faculty throughout this year and over the years, a sincere thanks and gratitude to you all. Every little support and help matters to me and is sincerely appreciated.
