March 17, 2009 will see the release of Baliset's debut album A Time For Rust. Baliset is the new project formed by Greg Massi (ex-guitarist for maudlin of the Well and Kayo Dot). The album's production began in July of 2003 with sporadic sessions scattered over the last 5 ½ years during breaks in Greg's other musical and personal responsibilities. The album will be released via Ret Con Records (Greg's own imprint) and will be a 6 panel digipak with artwork designed by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Aghora, Mekong Delta, To-Mera). The album will also be released on vinyl closer to the end of April/May. The title track will be available as a download for sale through the official Baliset homepage sometime in the middle of January. Tracklist: These Moments Are A Time For Rust Machinery Listens To Love Black Light Moon The Art Of Contrition Dreamflesh Winterlude The Echo Box Greg Massi guitars, vocals, keyboards Adam Letourneau drums and percussion Guest Musicians: Lauren Flaherty vocals TL Conrad bass John Battema keyboards Forbes Graham - trumpet Jim Fogarty additional percussion, keyboards, and piano All songs written by Greg Massi Recorded between 2003-2008 at Zing Studios Westfield, MA Produced by Greg Massi and Jim Fogarty Engineered and Mixed by Jim Fogarty Additional Vocal Engineering and Mastering by Colin Marston at Menegroth The Thousand Caves Queens, NY Promos will be available in January.

What type of music can we expect? Will it be along the lines of KD, MOTW?

Basically there will definitely be a kayo dot/motw vibe to some of the parts but overall it is more atmospheric rock songs then long compositions like my old bands.
The song structures are a bit simpler but the textures are kind of dense. I suppose it would be similar to a iron maiden meets porcupine tree meets devin townsend meets 80's era Rush. I imagine someone might listen to it and find some different vibes there but I really love these songs and hope other people out there will dig them too. =)

Baliset... wasn't that a 7-string instrument in the Dune SF novels? A promise of futuristic music if that's the case...
