The History of Things to Come (2006)

Track listing:

Frontline: 3:53

Enzyme: 3:46

Saturday Mourning: 4:29

Ragged: 4:45

     The History of things to come was originally released in August of 2006 with the intent of acting as an all purpose showcase of my work as Rogue Thief. The tracks were chosen for their diversity in content and their continuity in style. Frontline, with it's simple, catchy rhythm and powerful vocals makes for a good radio single. Enzyme's bitter sentiment and violent drum track make for an excellent show of the project's gritty, overall electronic distortion, a factor which has always been the heart and soul of Rogue Thief. Saturday Mourning, is a melancholy tale of lost opportunities and resentment at the choices life can grant and is fuelled by a rich vocal track and powerful chord changes. Ragged is a homage piece to both the punk rock and early new wave and industrial tracks which were the inspiration for Rogue Thief as a whole. All in all I'm very proud of the EP as a whole and I still use it in my press kits.

     In 2007, I decided that the time had come to put together these tracks which I'd been working on for the past few years and attempt to market them in preparation for a new project; kind of "cleaning out the closet" if you will. N7: Neutral Grey, is a collection of recordings done over the past few years at different times and on different equipment but all with the same goal in mind; to create a new, eclectic, gritty, and listener friendly sound that defines my vision as an artist.

    Full Circle is a vicious and bloodthirsty song about resentment, hatred and the raw aggression felt toward those who I despise; sort of a "Count of Monte Cristo" song, if you will. New Jersey is a  memory of the past and of lost friends, family and times which can never be recovered. Saturday Mourning and Frontline are the same tracks as in the previous EP, as well as Ragged. Human Sacrifice is a noise filled fable of a song reminding the listener of the personal obligation all should have to themselves. In Gnash, a tense, four and a half minute angst- fuelled ride through the psyche of a resentful anti-hero, the point makes itself abundantly clear to even the most shallow listener. Undertow, one of my personal favorites, is an abstract song in whose vocals we see a struggle against the momentum of the rest of the song. Couple this factor in with a loud drum track and a hell of a lot of high end gain, and the title says exactly what the song is. Neutral Grey...never have I written a more autobiographical song in all of my life, an angry, melodic, obsessive thought drilled  out to a drum pattern reminiscent to the echo of the Thomson gun. In Tuesday, I try to cleanse the pallet with an upbeat track whose sentiment is somewhat akin to it's predecessors, however with a more hopeful tone, as if I am not alone in my thought. Finally, we come to Harbinger....the first track I've ever written on a six- string and one of my proudest works ever; you have to listen to it to understand.
