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.

| 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...
