Introducing Backward Sky Falling
Introducing Backward Sky Falling, a progressive rock trio made up of Jason Blake (Aziola Cry) on Warr guitar, Joe Kopecky (Kopecky, Imperial Fall) on guitar, and Craig Walkner (Yeti Rain, Far Corner) on drums. After writing music on and off for years, Joe and Jason felt that they had developed the band’s sound and were ready to play with a drummer. With the addition of Craig earlier this year, the trio began tightening up their songs. Backward Sky Falling plans to enter the studio soon in order to release their music into the world.

"Shortcomings in Opposition" Video Premiere
Check out the new video from my "Fictional Mirrors" release. I wanted the lead track to make a statement for where the rest of the music would be headed. Although, percussion is absent and thus making it harder to notice, the Warr guitar line switches between two odd time signatures. I liked this idea of incorporating the progressive side of my playing into an ambient setting. This song deals with how we perceive our mistakes and negative self and try to see the positive side.
