Its with great pride we annouce that the tracking of Astoria is done. We are currently mixing the tracks as we speak. I will be updating this news section very often with new, cd information, etc. We are planning on doing 2 online releases, 1: A full CD quality wav download (16bit/44.1) and a 320kps encoded mp3 (Near CD quality but a smaller file size).

Just wanted to take a moment and post how excited we are that the record is almost done. It's been a long time coming but all things happen for a reason. This record is the most diverse project I think I have ever worked on. Songs ranging from progressive rock, celtic instruments, melodic rock and atmospheric songs are on here. The idea was to write songs that reflected the mood of the lyrics and vice-versa. While this record is not a concept album there are ideas and subjects that weave throughout. Soulful Terrain has always been about freedom and making the music of the moment for us. Astoria is a realization of a dream that started a long time ago and has changed a few times but now to me it's what it should have been all along... funny how that works doesn't it?
Until next time, Jason

Welcome Soulful Terrains new singer!
HI Everyone,
Just wanted to give a great update. We have a new singer, Elic Gurganus. He is fantastic vocalist and human being! We have been friends for a few years and I have been struggling what to do about the vocals in the new record. I think God dropped it into my heart to talk to Elic. We did and he loved the new music and now we are recording vocals now for the songs on Astoria. Things are going great and he has added a great new flavor to the band. Songs are now really sounding complete.
We are hoping to wrap all the overdubs and little tidbits up by Nov 1 so we can start mixing and get this record out. We are really proud of the songs on here and love the various styles and moods on Astoria.
Here is the final song list (not the final order) of the record
The Great Unknown
Astoria
Ocean Road
Where The Arrows Fall
The Narrow Path
Secrets In The Valley
Shadows On The Sun
Where I Stand
Drifting
The Eastern Wind
Lost For You
Decemeber 2007: Astoria the long awaited follow up to "The Days of Truth & Hope" is very close to being finished. We are in the process of recording the last few songs and then we mix. This record has been a long time coming but we think its worth the wait. We taylored each song to fit into the musical and lyrical idea that we had for awhile, so it took a lot longer to complete this record.
Here is a tenative song list. The songs and order may change as we get closer.
The Great Unknown
Far Away
Arrows
Shadows on the Sun
San Greal
Beyond The Narrow Path
Where I Stand
Drifting
Ocean Road
IntoThe Eastern Wind
Awaken
From The Inside Out
Lost For You
Secrets In The Valley
