Writing progress for Whispering Woods

So, as any of you frequent readers know, I am working on my own sort of "solo project" tentatively titled Whispering Woods (ooh double alliteration!), on the side of singing for the upcoming CT prog metal band In Shattered Silence. I've got music and lyrics down for four Whispering Woods songs, and recently timed them. For some reason, that excited me and made me want to make this post. Here's what I got:

"What Still Remains" 3:50
Heavy, dark, eerie, moves between fast and slow a lot. Vocals will mostly be harsh and death metally, but with some screechy falsetto stuff too.

"Lady In White" 5:16
A bit prettier and more melodic, but still spooky. Will feature more singing than harsh vocals, but a bit of both.

"Ember In A Dark Shroud" 3:50
Kind of a pounding, unrelenting song. Sometimes black metal-ish, sometimes thrashy. Probably some 'gravelly singing' and harsh vocals.

"Projected Visions In Sleep Paralysis" 4:30
My darkest, creepiest one yet. Very slow and doomy, but with random fast parts to freak you out. Probably all harsh vocals.

My guitarist friend who's also named Nick will be featured in this project for some guitar harmonies and leads/solos etc., since he's a way more capable guitarist than I. I'm fleshing out the 'skeletons' of the songs and writing the lyrics and stuff, and he's helping me BAMF it up!

Anyway, hope you'll all be interested in hearing this some day when it gets recorded (who the hell knows when that will be). Warning: not for wussies!!!
