Search - Henning Pauly :: 13 Days

After Chain - Reconstruct and Frameshift with James LaBrie Henning Pauly started working on the second Chain album (chain.exe) and the double CD rock opera Babysteps. Working on these two major projects in parallel turned out to be overwhelming, so he decided to take 13 days off and not think about progressive rock for a while and produce a whole album during his time off. 13 songs in 13 days. He wanted to create some straight forward rock music, so he limited himself strictly to guitars, bass and drums. Anything he might want to achieve with keyboards, he had to do with guitars and that was a welcomed challenge. Who was to sing on it? Henning couldn't make up his mind so he decided to ask all the great vocalists he knows to be involved. He lined up 11 vocalists to sing the 13 songs, two of them each sing 2 songs. The songs didn't all turn out to be straight forward rock...the album contains metal, blues, blues rock, alternative, pop and most certainly some prog! elements...he just couldn't get away from it.
