The title says it all. In 2006 my friend copied to me rough drafts of his new album. By that time they consisted mostly of rendered MIDi backing tracks, but they still sounded very interesting. Every track was in a different style: heavy metal, symphonic metal, progressive metal, alternative, ballads, you name it. I was hooked. Sadly, the album got stuck in a development hell, and then lost because of a bad HDD. The only survived bits are the lozzy mp3 copies of the backing tracks.
This summer I've asked my other friend, a guitarist, to play over them, and he did a very good job, finishing two tracks (that are still lacking vocals) and starting work on another two. Sadly, later he experienced a burnout and had to quit. I've send our work to the album's author, honestly expecting him to be mad at us for messing with his work, but - surprisingly - he loved the result! I hope that it will inspire him to record some new music in the future, but by now he is a pretty busy man.
Regardless, here's the album in it's current incomplete state. If somebody is willing to lend a helping hand - feel free to do it. And, before you've said it, I totally understand that work with the lozzy sources will not end in any serious results, but I'm not doing this for the profit anyway, I just want to be able to share my friend's music with the world, and to be able to listen to it without wondering about how the missing parts should have sounded.

Sadly, I'm not a musician, and my input to it is limited only to extending some incomplete tracks to their current length via copy&paste (for example, that's how the title track was made). I also wrote lyrics to one of the songs, that were heavily inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, but I wasn't able to record vocals. I am not a native english speaker (as you can already probably tell by now), and I'm also new to the Reddit, and I am not sure, if I'm posting this in the right place (at least it is on topic here!). Feel free to contact me, if you have something to add.
