Ivvas
Hi, Metalstorm!

I have been a member here for 12 years and thought I hardly post, there is not a day that goes by that I don't visit this site for news and album release dates. I especially love the upcoming releases as it helps me keep tabs on a collection spanning some 1,500 artists in my personal collection.

So thank you for that!

That being said I feel it is finally time for me to introduce you to my own project: "Ivvas"

It is my honor and privilege to premiere the song "Growth" from my debut record, "Ídryma."

"Ídryma" is a greek word that is translated to the word "Foundation." I believe in dreaming big and I believe in working hard towards that dream. But in order to build that dream, a solid foundation must be made much like a building no matter what size.

Ídryma will be available for download on November 11th everywhere (Bandcamp, Spotify, Itunes, Amazon, Googleplay, countless others...).

The official tracklist is as follows:
1) Calm
2) Forever
3) Conscience Pt. 1
4) Conscience Pt. 2
5) Ídryma
6) Growth

Listen to "Growth" now at the following link:

The artwork was done by none other than Travis Smith of Seempieces The Art of Travis Smith. His work has graced the covers of some of my favorite bands including Anathema, Opeth, Novembre, Riverside, Katatonia, Deadsoul Tribe, and many others including Metallica, Slayer, and King Diamond.

I never thought in a million years that he would be willing to work with me and it all started with an email detailing my story and what I wanted to accomplish.
I can honestly say that his work has left me speechless and I am humbled that he was willing to work with me on this.

I have always been fascinated with nature and the image of a lone tree has always been my solace and solitude. The roots have been planted and the tree is growing. You will also note the "strings" of a guitar planted on the tree to showcase what I have always been deep inside: A musician and a guitarist!

It has begun!

Music is like a treasure hunt
you go around the world looking for it scrapping the useless maps that lead you nowhere
then you finally find that spot and it's up to you to decide whether you wish to keep it to yourself
or share it with the world.
