Hi to all you Metal heads out there... Hope you have a happy and safe Easter break. I've been waiting so long for it to come around. My name is Legion and I am the lead singer, song writer and bassist for DRAXSEN. I have recently reformed the band... well it never really split up it just goes into limbo every time I go into hospital. Now I bet that has you thinking? No, not drugs but Chronic Pain from severe nerve damage. The worst thing is it isn't so much the pain that does the most damage, it's the cocktail of medications I have to take that sends me bonkers.
DRAXSEN have been working hard at it trying to raise the awareness of the plight of those suffering with chronic pain. We have a web site (www.draxsen.net) that we have recently got up and running. From there you can be directed to various sites for pain management. This can range from the straight out medications, to more natural or homeopathic methods as they are referred to such as acupuncture and TAI CHI.
Moving on to something a little more in tune to this site... the recording of “Chronic Pain” (The album from which ‘Your’ was released as a single). The recording had come to a grinding halt due to my declining condition. But where there's a will there's a way, and with a few scratches on the wall etc... I managed to bring the studio to my bed. So then all I had to do was prop myself up in bed and we continued to record at a much slower pace than before, but still moving forward.
In terms of the album "Chronic Pain" we have broken away from the traditional releasing, promoting/ hype and selling scenario. "Chronic Pain" will be given away for free. We wanted to do this to try and raise awareness of those suffering chronic pain, there carers, family and friends. That is if they still have any. If you know someone who suffers with chronic pain, you know what I'm talking about.
You can down load the artwork for "Chronic Pain" for your iPod, along with "Your" the single, "Chronic Pain" and "Grieving". As the recording process continues you can build the album yourself over time. There is also some of the older stuff you can download from the period we now refer to as the dark ages all FREE. Those of you who know the bands history will understand what I mean.
I hope you enjoyed my first blog and that you can tell your friends about the free tunes. Please remember everyone can end up with Chronic Pain. It’s not genetic and you cannot be vaccinated for it. Help any way you can.
