The crowdfunding campaign for “Project Rogue-Titans” has officially been launched via Indiegogo. A goal of $70,000 USD has been set for the project, which aims to unite members of System Of A Down, Lamb Of God, Cannibal Corpse and more with various up and coming artists on the Rogue Records roster.
Some clarity was also given as to how the collaborations will take place:
“All the artists on the roster will be collaborating with each other, finding the songs that they click with and then working on that song. Songs can have full performances from some members with others just having a solo, or a rhythm part or a chorus with that artist’s part on it.
As Raymond Herrera puts it, “Rounding out these songs will be a matter of getting tempo and guidelines on the aspects of a song/s that may still need a verse or bridge or intro etc…then getting those elements to the proper musician etc…, then to start adding those elements to pick the best ones.
We have a great list of very strong songwriters and players. I think that our biggest challenge may be weeding out the bottom 10% of material, BUT since we are doing this via crowd-funding, we will be able to have our contributors help to pick those very songs and be part of the record at this granular level. Which brings me to the next points…”
The important thing is that the music will be a direct collaboration from all those involved, including Rogue’s emerging artists. Allowing them to work with touring / studio full time musicians they were inspired by, establishing new relationships in the industry.”
