A hint about the next Song of the Season! (Patreon)

Hello Beastlings!

It is already almost time for the Summer 2022 Song of the Season! The Listening Party with the Platinums and Blues will be July 9th and the full Patreon release will be July 10th!

To wrap up the final month of the Gaslight season, here is a portrait with one of my main musical collaborators of the past few years - Oliver Palotai! This photo was shot in Tim Tronckoe's beautiful Studio 23 in Belgium.

I had a fun, inspiring and productive time collaborating with Oliver on many past and upcoming projects! I mean... look at how far we have come!

Of course, we first met back when I was singing with Kamelot. We connected on many levels back then so it was a no brainer to work together on some songs now!

A note: EVERYTHING that I post here on Patreon is to remain exclusively here on Patreon. Do not share anywhere else. I just want to make sure there is no confusion.

I know that it is exciting to get new songs and photos and videos and I am super excited to share them with you! I spend tons of energy, time, money and passion creating songs and videos just for you guys! Together we have built this super cool little community through these kinds of releases. Allow yourself this special place - you earned it! 😉

Sure - I could get a lot more ears and eyes on my songs by releasing them publicly and maybe that will happen at some point, but for now the whole purpose of this community is that you support me and I want to give back to you specifically. That's what is so different and cool about releasing art this way. The traditional route involves a lot of bureaucracy and here on Patreon I can just... make it and send it off into the world. 

There is a lot that goes into doing a worldwide release (trust me) and I, instead, chose to produce these songs just for the Beastlings. My songs, images and videos are obviously still fingerprinted, registered, watermarked and copyright-protected. I know that most of you understand this, appreciate it and know that by sharing anything outside of Patreon you are kinda screwing over your fellow Beastlings (and also yourself!) - so this message is just a friendly reminder. When it comes time to share things with the rest of the world, we will! And you guys are amazing at helping share all the public releases like the new Arch Enemy videos, etc, so I know that when the time comes, I can count on you to help spread the word about my solo album as well! 

For now - let's enjoy these releases together. Exclusivity is a rare thing these days and you have all earned it! 😎
