Derek Roddy has issued an update about his project Serpents Rise. The musician has recorded and released the band\'s complete full-length debut album as a free download. Derek:\"Here it is: Serpents Rise. For free download at www.derekroddy.com. Be sure to pass this along to anybody you think will listen to it and to any metal fans you may know.\"
Contributing musicians to Serpents Rise include Derek Roddy on drums, percussion, guitars, bass, voices and additional sounds, and Chip Staples plus Evan Kline on percussion.
Explains Derek Roddy:
\"Serpents Rise suggest downloading all the songs, then listening to the entire recording. The work is intended to be seamless and, taken in as one body of music.\"
Serpents Rise is an instrumental entity. This does not mean that Derek Roddy and his fellow band members are opposed to hearing what vocal possibilities exist:
\"With this in mind... Serpents Rise invites you to \"be the vocalist\". Whether in your car, in your bedroom, on stage covering one of our songs, posting clips of you singing our tunes on youtube. Or in the event that we show up in your town - you sing with us on stage! Have fun... create!\"
