So, after months of writing, recording, production, mastering and development, the final album is released tomorrow. I am looking forward to getting *Denied By Reign* out there, and then the focus moves to the next big step – telling the world about it, and spreading a free culture message around an album. This will be the really large and difficult job – writing, recording and releasing an album is something [I have done before](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=935) both by myself and with Seraphidian, but the new ground being forged here will be in spreading the word around Severed Fifth and not only growing a culture and buzz around the music, but around the mechanics of a free culture album. This is when the *real fun* begins, and this is going to result in a lot of email, a lot of discussion, and importantly, trying to mobilise a world-wide street team. Fortunately, w already have a great bunch of people already involved, and I will focussing my own efforts on providing everything needed to ensure the street team can kick arse and take names. This includes help, guidance, only materials and whatever else.

I am also really, *really* keen to grow a community of listeners and fans around Severed Fifth, and you should all go and hang out in the *wicked-cool* [Severed Fifth Forums](https://www.severedfifth.com/forums/). Lets get a party going over there.

One more day…one more day… 🙂
