Cataclysm by JayWagner555

This album is a group of songs that are meant to tell a story. It's a rock opera that walks the listener, track by track, through our hero's journey.

It starts out as a familiar tale about finding the true love of your life. But, the story takes an unexpected turn when he is faced with a series of catastrophic events that signals the end of days. The whole idea for this passion project was inspired simply by the word 'Cataclysm'.

I had written the first 2 tracks back in the early spring, and they seemed to be the perfect start to an adventure. Quite often I find myself writing songs in pairs. I'm not sure why, but they seem to come to me two at a time. This duo seemed to be painting a picture of a guy who was kind of lost and a bit frustrated about the world around him (Me At The Zoo) and the life changing event that we all have experienced when your soul mate appears before your eyes (Spotlight).

It was an inspiring experience crafting song after song with a clear narrative thread in mind. When it comes to the overall sound of the album it is very much like my previous work... very mellow acoustic tracks like 'Spotlight' & 'Me At The Zoo'... some avant-garde electronic pieces like 'Joshua's Long Day'... and a few all out rock anthems like 'Krool World' and 'Halfway To Hell Club'.

It's 42 minutes of music from my heart. I sincerely hope it's not a Cataclysm for your ears <winky face>

Enjoy!!! -JW
