City of Legends

I was pondering the final tracks for Evangelist last night when I stumbled through my drafts folder and hit a minor miracle.

It was called Kitabu, which is Swahili for "book" or "story". The original draft is unusable as my collaborator on it has absented themselves from the project and I am neither a thief nor a presumptive (vampire etiquette, remember).

But, in light of the abomination of Robert Mugabe and the fact that, although already socially attuned to that region, the past several months have personalized the chaos and dread, violence and deprivations of the African continent, often visited or magnified by the evil of corrupt men heading corrupt regimes, I decided I need to make a stand.

As such (heh heh) I will be preparing a final track for the Evangelist CD, entitled Kitabu, which will be a protest song about the corruption of the Mugabe regime and the moral cowardice of the West, which has been a silent partner to murder, rape and madness. I have stripped it down to my original words, and am writing additional stanzas, while enhancing the music, which was solely mine to begin with.

I will release it to the web sometime next week, and ask that those who can and will distribute it by whatever means they can.
