“7th Son” Anthems: Revisited

March 25, 2008

7S trilogy images
In the final episode of 7th Son, Book Three: Destruction, listeners were treated to a mixed audio montage of the anthems heard in the 7th Son trilogy. Fans of the series requested a stand-alone version of that experience, and now J.C. Hutchins can release it into the wild.

This audio was brilliantly mixed by Destruction’s producer, Shawn Bishop, and features these songs:

  • “Afraid This Time” by Celldweller (Intro)
  • “Purple” by Ethic (Book One: Descent anthem)
  • “Switchback” by Celldweller (Book Two: Deceit anthem)
  • “Symbiont” by Celldweller (Book Three: Destruction anthem)

Enjoy!

“7th Son: Destruction” Blooper Reel

March 25, 2008

Fussy Hutch image Fans of 7th Son, Book Three: Destruction may remember a brilliant audio recording that first saw light back in December 2007, when author J.C. Hutchins chatted with Destruction’s producer, Shawn Bishop.

In that Q&A episode, Shawn presented a masterfully-mixed, hilarious “blooper reel” of a flummoxed — and very foul-mouthed — Hutchins as he tried to read various parts of the novel. Hutchins’ readings may be very good indeed in the 7th Son audiobooks … but there’s many a mis-speak between mic and final mixdown.

Listeners requested a stand-alone audio file of this blooper reel, and — after receiving permission from Celldweller to release the file into the wild (Celldweller provides the “soundtrack” for the experience) — they can now listen to it in all its snarky glory. Be warned: four-letter words abound.
