Through 2023, the next iteration of the entity known as The Wring was in full creative mode.  New songs, a new singer and a new drummer... change is the only constant.

 

Spectra introduced me to the incredible talent of bassist Reggie Hache.  Nemesis also features his vocal genius, delivering what I believe to be the most cohesive and memorable set of songs to date.

 

Kyle Brian Abbott performed all drums on this record.  Kyle is a precise and articulate player that was the metronomic back drop for often slippery and shifting time.  An absolute powerhouse.

 

Of course, Francis Perron returned for mixing duties.  A Juno award-winning talent, Francis brings the songs to life.  The music would not be the same without him.

 

Gord Woolley provided the artwork for Nemesis.  As before, I concocted an elaborate theme and set of images which went out the window as soon as I saw Gord's ideas.  The red jellyfish is fantastic on many levels.

 

I have to mention Carlo Belotti from Wormholedeath Records.  In a world where music is essentially free, it's easy for an artist to get discouraged.  Carlo has a roster of hundreds of bands, but treats each as if they were the only one.  I'm thankful for his support of The Wring.

 

The contributions of Jon Asher at Ashermedia are also notable.  Jon is a publicist and has put The Wring in ears all around the world.  Thanks Jon.
