On 5-15-20, my first solo album "The Road Home" celebrated its fifth anniversary! I know many other artists have several albums out, longer than mine has been out. However, THE ROAD HOME is and will always be very special to me. It celebrates my home town of Slatington, growing up in the 80s, and a testimonial to the love I have for everyone in my family. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">My first printing was exclusively for Vinyl, so you need to have subtle adjustments to ensure the best pressing. This time around, I had my good friend and producer Kevin Soffera (HYBRID STUDIOS) step in and remaster the entire album for CD and digital. It has a much more powerful sound this time around, and includes two extra tracks of previous singles. With the addition of "With Eagles Might", I can now not only profess my love for my hometown of Slatington, but also my love of this country! </span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">We've also included "When I Close My Eyes" featuring the beautiful and amazingly talented Leah Marie Fuls. The song, co-written with my late and beloved grandmother Meme (Lavon Shoemaker), was intended for the original album, but I simply ran out of time. So now it finds its rightful home in the REVISITED Deluxe Edition. </span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">I wanna take this opportunity to also recognize my original producer BRYAN UNSINGER. He gave this record his heart and soul and I have never forgotten that. We recorded the whole album in one week and worked our butts off, I still can't believe how perfectly he shaped the sound the way I had dreamed the songs should sound. Bryan proved Kevin with the perfect palette to start the remaster. </span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">I hope you all enjoy the new mix, and I assure you the CDS will be here my mid June!! They will be available for purchase in my STORE, and of course my live shows (I pray that happens soon). I hope you enjoy REVISITING my ROAD HOME album and feel the emotions I felt recording it! </span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">LOVE, LIGHT and BLESSINGS,</span></span></p>

I have all the songs written, however God has been placing some changes in my direction. While I still plan on recording NEW CREATION, it will now be the final installment in my TRILOGY. I am proceeding with SEASON OF THE DYING as the second installment. Many factors have played a role in this decision, but I am very confident that it's the right one. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">I, like many others, have been coping with a lot of mental health complications, and have been suffering in the process. The road with Christ is not always an easy one, and there are forces always trying to divert us from that path. I have experienced a lot of these diversions, and felt it was time to document some of the things I have been dealing with through my music. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">Since I was a young boy I fell in love with the music of THE CURE. "Disintegration" is probably the most important artistic creation that has guided my musical journey. I have always wanted to record an album that takes me back to my Gothic roots, and this will be that album. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">My first single off the record, ENTITY, will debut on May 1st, 2020, the first day of Mental Health Awareness month. This is the cause closest to my heart, as I have lived with OCD and Bipolar Disorder my entire life. Of course we didn't know what these things were in the 80's, but it's wonderful to finally have these classifications in order to receive the proper medication and treatment. But that doesnt always ensure full control of our minds. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">ENTITY is my prayer to God pleading with him to understand just how real the struggle is in maintaining control of a vessel that is flawed as the human mind. At the song's crescendo, God sends me an Angel who comforts me. That angel is performed by my dear friend and brilliant musical artist CHELSEA LYN MEYER. It's always been a dream of mine to work with her and I cannot express how grateful I am that she agreed and gave such passionate performance. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The full album "DAIMON PRICE II: Season of the Dying" has a target release date of October 1st, 2020! I am so thrilled to be working alongside my friend and producer KEVIN SOFFERA at Hybrid Studios, along with my beloved son Jareth at my side on the Bass Guitar! This should be a very exciting year!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">* As a special gift to everyone who visits me at daimonprice.com, you can now preview ENTITY in full at our music page! </span></p>DAIMONPRICE.COMtag:daimonprice.com,2005:Post/58166502019-07-07T15:50:29-04:002019-07-07T16:16:30-04:007-7-19: It's time to get back on track! <p><em><span class="font_large">Well everyone, it's been too long since my last blog. Ugh, I know! It's been nearly 3 years lol. I'm here to tell you I will keep up this blog much more frequently. Hope everyone is enjoying the new look and layout to the website!! Change is good and very healthy.THE ROAD HOME period was so much fun, and I am grateful I was able to finish that record with my good friend and producer B.U. Thomas, and release it on itunes, Amazon, Spotify and local record stores on Vinyl. Working on that album took everything out of me. My goal was to create a record in which every song could be its own signal, and told a very distinct story. I believe I achieved that, so of course the next album needs to be just as good or better. </span></em></p>
<p><em><span class="font_large">YIKES! That's a real mountain for me to climb, but this time I'm not climbing alone. I have my 17 year son JARETH playing bass with me, and another wonderful producer, KEVEN SOFRA, at my side. I also have two great guitar players and old friends of mine, Bryan Zimmerman and Jerry Elder, ready to deliver you some great guitar solos. Passion makes our greatest work, and I have it back and feel so excited to be going back into the studio to record "DAIMON PRICE II: New Creation." These 9 songs are filled with my love for CHRIST, my church, and the spiritual journey that I have been on for so many years. I can't wait to share them with you, the stories, the messages, the soundscapes, the whole album! </span></em></p>
<p><em><span class="font_large">I'm gonna try and blog each day I record to let you know how things are going. Oh....I'm also hoping to have some guest vocalist perform with me on this album...but I'll keep that secret for now! Hope everyone one is well!!!! </span></em></p>
<p> </p>

I mean I can't look anywhere without seeing or reading someone's rage lately. Everyone needs to take one giant step back right now! Just stop everything.....close your eyes, take a deep breath, and open. Do you honestly think all this hate isn't being engineered? Forget about everything you see and hear in the media and start listening to GOD!<br><br>You have to know in your heart that we are being pushed into this hatred, and being manipulated like never before. Why? Because we have technology like we have never had before and it's easier than it's ever been before to turn us all against each other. There are folks on Facebook who do nothing but post hate (despite claiming they are against hate?) and waiting for someone to say something they can pounce on. JUST STOP! <br><br>Hey listen, I'm not immune. I'm a very sensitive fellow and people who know me will agree. I have my moments believe me! What helps me through it? PRAYER! I pray for truth and clarity because thats what we so desperately need right now! Bottom line....if you are voting for Hilary...I love you and respect you. If you are voting for Trump...I love you and respect you. If you're not voting at all....I love and respect you. If you are a police officer ..... I love and respect you. Whatever your religion or race....I love and respect you. We all have our own personal perspectives that fuel our passions and it's the inability for us to see that in others that drives so much anger and lack of understanding. <br><br>I am grateful to my Lord and Savior for setting the example that in the face of anger and hate, only LOVE and ACCEPTANCE will heal. We are better than this! I can't help but feeling that someone or something is playing the human race like a chess board and WE CAN'T LET THEM CONTINUE! PLEASE! Take a moment to listen, evaluate, and pray for clarity and truth. "IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE LIVING LIFE IN PEACE."<br><br>Love, Light and Blessings,<br>DAIMON</span></em>DAIMONPRICE.COMtag:daimonprice.com,2005:Post/42410132016-06-21T13:54:15-04:002016-06-21T13:55:17-04:006-14-16: WITH EAGLES MIGHT returns on ID4!<em><span class="font_large">Greetings friends,<br><br>I am so happy to announce that my new single WITH EAGLES MIGHT will be released on ID4 (7-4-16)! I originally wrote and recorded the song back in 2012 with my band THE PRICE IS RICE, which you can still purchase at iTunes, Amazon and CD BABY! However, the political turmoil that inspired me to write the song 4 years ago has resurfaced in our nation! UGH! Elections! They always seem to divide us, and it drives me crazy. So I returned to CATHOUSE RECORDING STUDIOS and re-recorded the song from the ground up. This time the song features my lead vocals and has a nice fresh sound that I think you will all love. My dear friend MARK GALIYANO JR joined me in the studio to add that wonderful acoustic guitar solo, and my producer BU THOMAS played the Bass and Baritone Guitar! If you join my emailing list you will be able to purchase the album 2 weeks before its release right here at DAIMONPRICE.COM! I hope the song will remind everyone that while we live in this country, we are all one family united!<br><br>Love, Light and Blessings,<br>DAIMON</span></em>DAIMONPRICE.COMtag:daimonprice.com,2005:Post/41949112016-05-24T16:43:34-04:002019-12-07T10:51:21-05:005-24-16: A Magical Afternoon at PCCC!<span class="font_large">Greetings friends,<br><br><i>I wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate everyone who came out to see me perform at the Pocono Cinema & Cultural Center this past Sunday (5-22-16)! It was my first time performing there, and I couldn't have done it without my dear friends and bandmates MARK, STEVE and STACY by my side. I also want to send out a special thank you to my good friend Jerry Elder for joining me on stage as well. It is always a joy to play music with such a wonderful brother in Christ. Most importantly, I am so proud of my son JARETH, who bravely stood at his dad's side for his very first public performance on the bass! Words do not describe how happy I was at that moment! The staff at Pocono Cinema and Cultural Center are were so kind and gracious! I really want everyone in the Pocono area to continue supporting their theater! A special thanks to Courtney for all of her patience with my many questions lol. WIth God's grace, I'll be back at PCCC hopefully sometime in the fall! </i></span>DAIMONPRICE.COM
