First cut is the deepest

Hiya folks,

This is the first official Hybrid Children blog, and the first one is always the hardest, the first cut is the deepest, and you'll never forget you first kiss or love. You can't compare writing a blog to falling in love or even kissing, but the actual writing of your first blog might be just as memorable (or painful). In the future we will tell you mishaps, mishaps and more mishaps from the road, try to recapture some glorious memories from the gigs and so on. You know the drill. We might write sometimes in Finnish or in English. This is not so official, even it is officially maintained by the band members. This journey begins now, just few hours before Halloween, and it won't stop until we start to work with next album (the album after this one, silly). And then we begin a new journey (or continue this one). Dammit, it's hard to write a blog in the middle of the night, your mind boggles....

We'll try to tell you some insights about the new album, how we made it, how it's going to be released, and when we hit the road, we'll promise to tell you all about the adventures we bump into.

And now let's get finally to the point of this first blog! The new album FIGHT AS ONE is finally done, we got the actual CD in our hands last weekend at Music and Media tradefair in Tampere. Oh the Joy! After a few cold ones we were still amazed to actually hold that small piece of plastic in our weary hands, and to think that in January 14th someone (hopefully hordes of fanatic Hybrid Children fans) will buy it and hopefully enjoy it.

Why release the album in January, why not now, you might ask. For thousands of reasons. We have to promote the album properly, do hundreds of interviews and smoke thousands of cigarettes and drink gallons of damn good black coffee (with a shot of Jallu) while we're gonna think how we gonna get this baby climb up to charts and most importantly, at this point we don't want to rush things anymore. The album is really good, the best Hybrid album yet, and really worth waiting for and we're sure that it will be rewarding to all of you who have time to wait it until January 14th. But it's a long road to get there, and it will be a longer road ahead after the release. Stay tuned, and we'll tell you some more...

We'll end the first Hybrid Children blog with a quote that fits this occasion rather nicely. The quote is from a very famous movie and movie quotes are always true...

"Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are giving you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimonies of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places, my friend we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty, let us reward the innocent."

Talk to you soon, take care and FIGHT AS ONE!
