Most of us are doing home recording. Here's a place to talk about it.

"The Thin Veneer "


We will face the fire

Though we never saw it coming

Stand through the trial

Though it all amounts to nothing

If we fail…


Dressed for the feast

Under the hammer of the auctioneer

The hunger of the savage beast

That lurks beneath the thin veneer

Breaks free…


We’ve seen this show before

Like a re-run playing over and over again


Smoke in the east

Betrays the glowing embers in the west

We feed the fire with the flame

Of passion for the things we must possess


We’ve been down this road before

Fooling ourselves over and over again


The blinking lights and fleeting sounds

Of a life in the machine

We’ve progressed by leaps and bounds

But we lost our way

And got stuck in between…


We wear it like a cheap disguise

This thin veneer

And we appear so civilized

But all the while we mask the fear

That we may have to go without

So we close our eyes

And justify our deeds


We will face the fire

Though it all amounts to nothing

The hunger of the savage beast

That lurks beneath the thin veneer breaks free


We wear it like a cheap disguise

This thin veneer

And we appear so civilized

But all the while we mask the fear

That we may have to go without

So we close our eyes

And justify our deeds


We wear it like a cheap disguise this thin veneer

And we appear so civilized, but all the while…

Listening now. As usual the main riff is very memorable and heavy. Love the guitar solos....nice interaction between the two guitars. Very well crafted heavy metal song. Great work from you and your band Mike.

Thanks Mark, glad ya liked it. B)


We've got3 more to finish and the cd will supposedly finished. I keep pushing the idea of 'let's not think in terms of a cd" because no one wants cds anymore. They just cherry pick the mp3s they want to steal,, eerrrr, buy so we will probably just continue to release them as we finish them. We'll probably pick 8 or so and put them on a cd at some point but the number of cds made will be very small compared to the past.


I do like that bandcamp deals in Wavs as opposed to MP3s. I don't like that they take just short of 25%
