Rough Demo of Horrorcloud Posted to Myspace
Hey all, been a bit. We been busy, see. You don't rush greatness. You don't rush us neither. We played a couple shows recently... funny, we don't remember seeing *you* there. Maybe you forgot to go? Maybe we were drunk and forgot you went?
Anyway, *if* you actually did go to any of our shows, then you would recognize the song Horrorcloud. (Here's a hint: It's the song without the word "Horrorcloud" in it)
We hacked out a rough version of Horrorcloud tonight and fluffed it up with enough compression that we could easily enter it in the loudness war with Metallica. We couldn't win mind you, but we'd be in there somewhere. Probably on the back lines ordering supplies, making waffles and complaining about all the noise.
You can check out the new Rough Demo of Horrorcloud here on the Jagged Spiral Myspace Page.

Days From Evil Track Eight - I Am Death
As 2007 draws to a close, and the crushing grip of December threatens to squish Minneapolis into a frozen oblivion, Jagged Spiral comes to the rescue, by releasing the second-to-the-last song from Days From Evil! "I Am Death" has now been uploaded to the merch page.
You should know the drill by now: download and share the hate; all the songs off Days From Evil are free to download and share. In fact, if you are looking for a really cheap Christmas gift, feel free to download and burn the first 8 songs from Days From Evil to a CD and give it away for Christmas! Then, take the cash you would have spent on a gift, and use it for yourself! Because that's what (American) Christmas is all about; yourself!
And hey, if ever a song was written to be played around the Christmas Dinner Table, it's "I Am Death". This song will scare your parents, small children, and kill small animals. In fact, "I Am Death" has the same biological effects on organic material as ethyl-diisopropylaminoethyl-methylphosphonothiolate. So enjoy!

"Days From Evil" Free Music Download - "Let It Out"
The fifth song from "Days From Evil" is now available for download on our merch page. It's called "Let It Out". Like all the others, it is completely free, so check it out, and if you like it, spread the word.
Let It Out was one of the few tracks to have lyrics finished before the vampire movie "Pray For Daylight" was finished (the others that I remember being "Not Enough Bullets" and "I Am Death") An abbreviated version of "Let It Out" was used for the two trailers of the movie, the only vocals retained were the "Let It Out" grunts I did which gave the song its name.
For lyrics and more background info on "Let It Out" or any of the songs from "Days From Evil" check out this page.

New 'Days From Evil' Free Download - RUN
"Run" is the fourth song from the "Days From Evil" album. You can go to our merch page to download it for free, along with the first three songs.
Believe it or not this song was finished on 26 Jan 2006, almost 2 years ago. For a long time it was called "Plung" which was the name of a sound effect loop that the song was based around. The sound effect was later removed, and the song was then titled "Creature Finds the Window". Later verse writing led to the chant "Run!" which became an obvious name for the song.
At one point we had agreed that when we played together live, Run was our most 'accurate' sounding song, meaning when we played it live it sounded the most like it did on the record. We weren't particularly proud or embarrassed about this fact.
Interesting that we should be practicing this very song tonight, on the night of it's release to the internet. Why, you ask? I'll tell you...later.
In the meantime, check out Run and the other songs, and let us know what you think. Then check back each week until the end of the year, and we will have plenty more audio for you.

Free Track No1 - Forced Entry
If you click over to the Merch page, you will find the first track from the Days From Evil album, "Forced Entry" is available for download.
For Free. Gratis. Kostenlos.
Of course, don't let that stop you from giving us money, whether by using the donate buttons inconveniently located at the bottom of the page (consider it a virtual tip jar, if you will) or by simply e-mailing us your credit card number and pin, or your coworkers credit card number and pin for that matter.
A better idea is to visit this page to discover the myriad of other ways you can support independent bands like Jagged Spiral. You shouldn't be surprised to discover that a lot of them don't cost you anything at all.
One of the ways you can help us out is by spreading the word. Tell people to download the latest track and give it a listen. If it doesn't click with you, no worries, we won't be offended, but come back next week for the next track; Days From Evil is pretty diverse, and you might be pleasantly surprised.
For the next nine weeks, we will be posting all nine tracks from Days From Evil. It's a concept album, so I suggest you listen to the songs in order to get the full effect...
really loud...
with headphones...
in the dark...
completely naked.
Enjoy,
-Z
