Strapping Young Lad Guitarist Complete Guitar Tracks For Tenet Side Project

By JAMEZ

STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Guitarist Jed Simon has issued the following update:

"Hi, good people!

Well, here we are finally. This has been a long wait for me, and I can't tell you how happy I am to be getting at it. SYL has been crazy busy, as many of you know, so everything else has taken a back seat. Dev managed to squeeze an album or 10 out during SYL, but that's Dev, haha! I need complete focus, and now...well, I have it! So obviously I'm very excited.

During December, I tracked all the rhythm guitars for the album, it was a killer session and a hell of a lot of fun. Drums are being tracked now, and we will be continuing with the rest in February. I have a couple announcements to make regarding things soon, stay tuned for that.

I've put a couple of tracks up for ya here. These are new demos that I did as practise so I would have my chops up when I hit the studio. No vocals, no bass, but I think they are a little better than the older demo stuff that was up. Enjoy.

I'll be getting some photos and other shit up asap too...

Also, the official site at www.tenetforce.com will be getting the 'go-ahead' soon. Lots to do, and looking forward to it all!

Again, if anyone is going to be at the NAMM show in LA this January, stop by the Bernie Rico Jr. Guitars booth and say hello. I'll be there representing Bernie and you can check out one of my new BRJ customs, as well as some of his amazing custom creations. Gary Holt and Jerry Only will also be there representing Bernie...stop by and check out his schedule for their times."

Cheers,
JS
