Clint Lowery's Demons & Skeletons Bring Hope with new "Words That Sing Well" CD

From the start, the name Hello Demons Meet Skeletons conjures an image of two bad guys being introduced in an awkward, unexpected moment in time and quite possibly throwin' down. So far so good...Now go a bit deeper. Drag some skeletons from your own figurative mental closet, face them off with a few of the collective, emotional demons that live each and every one of us. You get the idea.

It isn't easy to write songs. Certainly, writing about sensitive topics that are personal in an extreme nature can't be any easier. But Clint Lowery isn't afraid to be honest about what he's been through. As a matter of fact, he'll tell you it's a part of the whole process of recovery.

Back in 2008 I ordered Clint's first Hello Demons Meet Skeletons CD online, called Chills. I thought I had a pretty good idea about what to expect because I'd heard it would be an all-acoustic, toned down, mellow version of some songs Clint wrote and recorded. So naturally, since I'm a decade-plus Sevendust fan, I figured we'd get some songs that were similar to "Xmas Day," "Angels Son," "Skeleton Song." Things like that. What I didn't know was that the lyrical content would be so excruciatingly honest and sorrowful, while remaining tangibly awesome.

 With the new release on April 19 of Clint's CD WORDS THAT SING WELL, I wasn't expecting anything this time, other than great music. Will this one be sad and reflective as well? Is this one different, more upbeat? Now that Clint is married and he and Tara have a beautiful baby, how will this reflect in the music? I won't give anything away other than to tell you that I find this CD utterly hopeful and it makes me smile a great deal. It's been written over the times that Clint has come to find more happiness than he'd expected, so perhaps that will shed some light on things, until you go get the CD yourself. If you already have it, as I suspect most of you reading this DO, then I'm certain you will agree that he has not only outdone himself, he's earned a great deal of respect.

It would be remiss of me not to mention that the songs are beautifully sung with some of the most touching harmonies and melodies in the music. If you have not ever heard him sing or play acoustic guitar, you're truly missing out, and I hope that you will at the least go to www.clintlowery.net, check out his new, awesome website (built by Natural Synthetic) and check out the samples of the songs on Itunes under HELLO DEMONS MEET SKELETONS! If you prefer the hard copy CD, they are hand signed, so get one while they're still available, and you'll also get all the tracks from Chills on the new CD, Re-Mastered!

Clint was very gracious to spend some time sharing some of the background as well as the inside of this project that means a lot to him and has come to mean a great deal to many of us...

Architekt's George Roskos sheds light on Clint Lowery's latest Hello Demons Meet Skeletons CD

HELLO DEMONS MEET SKELETONS
2011 Release by Clint Lowery
Words That Sing Well

In an interview last week with Clint Lowery, we discussed his recent acoustic indie release, Words That Sing Well, under the moniker HELLO DEMONS MEET SKELETONS. That interview is en route to you this week, stay tuned...

When asked how it came about that a small privately owned business named Architekt Music came to be involved in this, Clint shed a little bit of light on the process, and also described the direct involvement of a gentleman by the name of George Roskos.

It may have seemed strange or even bizarre a decade ago if two people “met” over a social networking program. But that’s how it transpired. (It apparently happens quite a bit between musicians, as we've recently discovered).

In our conversation, Clint says he mentioned something on Twitter and got to talking with George and over time, things came together in a pretty incredible way, resulting in a new recording that could be shared with everyone.

For every person that's heard the music of Sevendust, there should be as many that know what the hell Clint's up to these days. Since his return, he's kept busy on the road, but in his off-road time, he's maintained his side project at home and in the studio!

Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery is launching his second album Words That Sing Well under the title of his solo project, Hello Demons Meet Skeletons. This is not something you want to miss.
