Severed Fifth Updates

by | Thu 10 Jun 2010

I just wanted to blog about some of the cool things going on recently in [Severed Fifth](https://www.severedfifth.com/) land:

* **Severed Fifth Used In Video Soundtracks** – one of the most wonderful elements of licensing your content under a Creative Commons license means that other creative types can use your content. It turns out a [bunch of people are using Severed Fifth music in their videos](https://www.severedfifth.com/2010/06/10/severed-fifth-in-video-soundtracks/).
* **’Frets On Fire: Severed Fifth Edition’ Announced** – with the [newly announced Frets On Fire: Severed Fifth Edition](https://www.severedfifth.com/2010/06/08/frets-on-fire-severed-fifth-edition-transcribers-needed/) I had a call for transcribers to chart the songs and [we are already seeing great progress](https://www.severedfifth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8&start=10#p31).
* **Severed Fifth TV Begins** – I have started doing a series of official videocasts [and did the first one this week](https://www.severedfifth.com/2010/06/07/live-severed-fifth-videocast-tue-8th-june-2010/) providing an update on the project, demoing ‘Frets On Fire: Severed Fifth Edition’, talking about the Street Team and more. Watch the recording [here](https://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7554161).
* **Street Team Begins** – recently we have started seeing [more activity growing in the Severed Fifth Street Team](https://www.severedfifth.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7). It is still very much early days and there is lots to do, so [get involved](https://www.severedfifth.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7) and tell us how you think we can make the Street Team rock. 🙂
* **Second Album** – finally, progress on the second album is going really well. Most of the songs are now written, and I will be releasing two cover songs on the new album too; one an Overkill song, and one an Iron Maiden song. Soon I will be announcing the recording dates for the album and be streaming the recordings live.
