(SUPER)EGO had its beginnings in early 2015. Upon the release of Sonic Contrast, the determination was made to create a more polished, cohesive album with only one style of music. Writing consumed all of 2015 and about half of 2016 in between other band side projects including Klick, Fringe, and multiple jam sessions with other musicians. The album was written and recorded entirely at Gilmore’s home studio in Las Vegas from mid 2015 through late 2016. Mixing and mastering started in late 2016 at the same location.

 

The approach to this album was guitar riff oriented with no real preconceived notions in mind. When it came to lyrics, the recurring themes of human behavior (both the emotional / cerebral and the learned / instilled) quickly bubbled to the surface along with the despising of society seemingly willing to accept any sort of information as factual. The lyrics contained herein are hopefully “wide” enough to allow for your own personal interpretation and application. One track on the album - Liam - is written specifically in memory of my brother and emotes my viewpoint of his life.
