Reptile Dysfunction by Tony Castellano
This is my brand-new release, though many of the songs were written years ago. Intending them to be recorded by Magnetar, I had simply recorded demos, but although it's possible Magnetar may record some of these songs eventually (we're still working on the Magnetar double-CD debut release), I got tired of holding onto them and decided to complete my own versions, since it's likely the Magnetar versions would have turned out differently anyway (and may still). Also, after I wrote my first long prog epic "The Sacrifice" last spring and summer (fulfilling a long-held personal goal), I knew that piece and "Bone of Contention" would be perfect to book-end a new TC album, so I then started working more seriously towards completing it.
