Roxx Records is ready to unveil the next Dale Thompson fronted rock n roll project with the world, Not Of This World, and it’s a killer new project with some very well known guest appearances.

Not Of This World is a project featuring music written and performed by Clay Ashbrook, vocals and lyrics by Dale Thompson of Bride with a guest appearance on several tracks by Derek Sherinian of Dream Theater and Sons of Apollo on keyboards and organs.

This project's genesis is in Clay Ashbrook's living room, where he composed and recorded all the music. Dale Thompson would then take the music and craft lyrics and melodies that fit perfectly within each song. This process started with 2 or 3 songs which expanded to a full albums worth over the last year and a half. This album cannot be defined by any one genre. You will find metal, rock, alternative, acoustic songs and ballads on this album. We are releasing this project in the hopes that people will enjoy the music and find something in the Christ-centered message of the lyrics that speaks to them in some way.

As we get ready to unveil this whole new project with you this September we are very excited to debut the premiere single entitled “Never Forget” today. We are also unveiling the magnificent new cover art for the album. “Never Forget” features Derek Sherinian of Dream Theater on organs and keys, sit back and enjoy this brand new track.

Video:

Stay tuned as we get ready to launch pre orders and release full details on this brand new album that will be coming your way this September via Roxx Records.

IMO, sounds more like and old and dirty demo from the 80's than a 2022 release...
In the time it took you to post this, Dale sang on 3 more albums.

Damn it...

Maybe I need to creat a new thread, just to post one song of every project from him hahaha

LOL!!

One more project coming. At last, it's Bride related

I wouldn't expect it to sound like Bride, though. When a rock/metal artist says the project is "diverse & reflective", it usually means the release is not usually all that heavy. They will mix a lot of elements and eventually make an album that their fans don't like. That's been my experiences, anyway, from other rock musicians.

I skipped Not Of This World and may skip this one as well. I will get the new Bride when they finally get around to doing pre-orders.

by Pethead Wed Dec 28, 2022 12:56 pm

I'm always on board for Bride, but I haven't been grabbed by any of the other Dale projects I've heard. Not because of his voice, which is fantastic, but because the music didn't click with me.

His new blues album is solid.

N.O.G. was excellent as is The Reconciled with Todd Stevens from XL& DBD.

I like Thompson & Swingle, but the song structures feel weird sometimes. I like Perpetual Paranoia, but every song doesn't grab me.

Some of the other projects didn't grab me at all.

If I could afford him, though, I'd probably use him on an album, too.

Perpetual Paranoia I liked the 1st álbum. 'Dreams Before The Nightmare' are really stellar, the others are just ok to my personal taste. N.O.G. it's really cool too. IMHO, If N.O.G. don't existed, Bride wouldn't come back from hiatus with an album as amazing as Snake Eyes was.

The blues releases are cool too, but I liked more acoustic blues

In general, my Idea above these tons of projects with Dale is that If isn't by Dale himself, they would be mediocre bands, in the sense that they are just average, nothing awful but no musical masterpiece either. Just a bunch of bands that don't add much to the overall music scene.

I don't think so, with the technology we have today to make high-level recordings even from home, I think he's more than sure to work hard on new songs, especially because he's an intelligent guy and has a high-quality vocal. level, it would be no different.

This is the problem. Great part of the projects that he is envolved arent great quality. Major are regular to bad

by Fundy Sun Oct 15, 2023 1:26 pm

I just buy the stuff of his that I like. I thought Are You Awake was the best Bride album since the early 90's. Most of the songs were incredibly catchy, with hooks and good solos.

by Pethead Sun Oct 15, 2023 1:35 pm

He’s done some good stuff this year: Swingle and Thompson Ordained, Jagged Doctrine, Bride, Crucible Divine, his song on the new Adorned Graves.

by seth Sun Oct 15, 2023 3:33 pm

I actually think his best songs are the Adorned Graves songs he’s featured on, even more than his work in Bride (although there’s some great stuff there too). One thing I don’t understand about his theology is apparently he does believe in hell, but is still somehow universalist? I had thought universalists believed everybody could eventually go to heaven. How does that even work? Do people like that believe anybody who is “good enough” from any religion gets into heaven but everybody else goes to hell? If that were the case, why did Jesus need to die in the first place, and who defines “good enough?”

by Fundy Sun Oct 15, 2023 3:58 pm

Is it... people go to hell if they don't believe, but after 1000 years they all go to heaven?
So it's punishment (and bad punishment) but ultimately God wins.

by seth Sun Oct 15, 2023 4:00 pm

So basically an even crazier version of Catholic’s doctrine of purgatory?

When I first got on Facebook over decade ago, I friended him and got into some discussions. If I remember correcctly, back then, he believed that hell was a place that people went to be cleansed by fire, and once done and repented, they would go to heaven.

by seth Sun Oct 15, 2023 9:33 pm

So basically Purgatory, and that the damned can eventually repent while in hell? That’s definitely an unbiblical view, but I wouldn’t call it a damnable heresy, if he truly believes that Jesus’s sacrifice is the only thing that reconciles us to God
