After the "poem" entry, there's a new blog entry over at John's Website called "Imrael". Yet another beautifully written entry about the thoughts behind the creative force, or the thoughts behind "the Empyrean" in general.

here's a little quote:
"Trying and giving up go hand in hand. But it’s trying that deserves the attention of our will. Giving up is just breathing out. Breathing in is the one we need to remember to do. Breathing out naturally follows. The important thing is just to keep breathing. To try and then just go through all that happens, including not trying. And so we hold our breath sometimes. These things aren’t problems. They are just living. As long as the message you send yourself is that it is important to you to be guided by the creative force inside you, in the long run you are on the same path as the sun. Of course you’ll seem to go up and down, and be in darkness and light. That’s life. The reality of it is that you are a shining star circling through space all the time. "

John wrote a wonderful new blog entry about his thoughts he has about the story of "The Empyrean". Here's a little quote:

"The main character is a creative person who experiences the full spectrum of life’s ups and downs. All dialogue takes place in his mind. The other character could accurately be called the creative force, which constantly creates and perpetuates existence. It could also be called the energy which fuels the engine we call the mind, with all of its creative potential. It could also accurately be called ones true self. It sometimes takes the form of a voice in your in your head or voices in your head. The more out of step your actions are with your true self or the creative force, the more disruptive those voices will be. This serves as a guide. This characters action is usually on track enough to where, when he hears the force as a voice, it speaks truth. The main character is, to one degree or another, in a perpetual state of confusion. "

Today was the original release date of "the Empyrean" but as we all know, the physical release of CD and Vinyl got delayed for one week. However you are now able to purchase the album via iTunes Store!!

Also feel free to discuss the album here :) I am curios to know your opinions. If you feel like writing down a personal review and send it in, that would be great! I will add it to the fan reviews in the music section!

I hope you're all patient with me as I ran into a few problems while working on the new layout. So it might take a while until it's ready...
