This is one of the heaviest tracks i ever wrote for Mournblade, this goes back to my second deployment while on tower watch in summer of 05, just a couple of hours before a suicide bomber drove his bomb filled car into a hotel and killed 100 people, just a half a block away from my postion.
But before that happen , with a flashlight with a red lense i started to pen this track about the wastes of war from the WW1 conflict. It took a few hours to try to work this lyric out and after the vbied attack i managed to finish the rough for it. I recorded this track in March of 06 after i returned back in country. But it wasnt released til early 07 just before i let again overseas.
This is a crowd song, that the kids loved to march in a circle , if only i can get them stop giving us hitler salutes when they chant "1917"
This track was the title track for the 06 release on Open Grave Records , you can find this cd pretty much everywhere inculding Amazon.com and Ebay.
I have mixed feelings about this 5 song ep release, but our fan base loved it.
Hot crystals are a wonderful way to make your costume look great and are therefore often used for apparel. This kind of crystals should be applied only to objects that can withstand high temperatures. It would be not wise, for example, to use them on electronic devices.
Rhinestone is a very popular Hot Fix Crystals and it is very often used to imitate diamonds. Rhinestones became very popular in the late 18th century thanks to George Friedrich. It was him who decided to imitate diamonds by using glass coated with metal powder.
Rhinestones are attached to the fabric with glue that melts at a temperature of around 360 degree F, so make sure you use them on fabric that are resistant to high temperatures.
These stones can be applied with your household iron or a heat press. A specialized tool, the "as seen on TV" BeJeweler can also be used. The BeJeweler will pick-up round rhinestones, heat them until the glue begins to melt so that you can attach them to your fabric. Its quick, it' clean and its easy.
The weakest link in the rhinestone system is its mirror backing, the coating on the back of a rhinestone is a mirror bonded to the glass. This mirror does not have a very strong bond with the glass and can be pulled free of the glass over time. This is why you may see a silver spot where a rhinestone used to be.
With rhinestones, only the back of them is attached to the fabric. Because of that, after some time the stones might become loose and eventually fall off. It is therefore advised that you hand wash all your clothes that have rhinestones attached to them.
The rhinestone jewelry includes a wide selection of crown pins for pageant and dramatic brooches for statement pieces.
Do not dry clean any garment that has any kind of glued stones on it, be it glue or heat fix. Regardless of the manufacturer, the cleaning fluids can denature the glue, cause it to become yellow and brittle, or just plain dissolve it.
