Godsolid
Vixen Windstorm and Frankcis Tankly are planning to record an album of covers and an album of original tracks, with no actual recording dates given. Initially the recording sessions were supposed to be sometime during Spring or Summer 2007, but due to Tankly's commitment to the Army during a summer program, the recording sessions were put on hiatus until nowhere prior to Winter 2007, or early-2008. During that time Windstorm shifted focus to recording for his solo project. Tankly lost interest in the Army program, though the Godsolid collaboration did not take place, regardless. In a January 12, 2008 update of his website Windstorm commented on the future of Godsolid, saying:
- ". . . And news regarding me and Frank's collaborations, it might happen, it might not happen. Production isn't the problem or anything, I guess these things just take time. In the meantime I compiled a second year's end demo compilation titled There'll Be Redemption, featuring recordings of 2007, along with the reference demos of the forthcoming album tentatively titled Since Drones Bloom. Twelve days into the new year there remain no 2008 demo recordings yet, that'll probably change soon enough since I plan to finish Since Drones Bloom (or whatever I call it in the end) this year sometime, and of course that means demoing demoing demoing lol. I talked to Frank and he mentioned possibly compiling a demo compilation of his own solo work as well, I know he's got about five or six recorded so far. So while it's not a collaboration, it's still news in the sense of what me and Frank are up to in the world of music."
Windstorm has also expressed interest in possibly drafting a session keyboardist.
The Heretics
By August 2007, talks of a collaboration between Windstorm and longtime friend and musician Solomon Ach began to take place. Windstorm made a proposition to produce Solomon Ach's horror rock band The Heretics' debut album Ghouligan's Island, which Ach plans to release in 2012, with the possibility of a musical contribution to the album as well. Further talks led to the conclusion that Windstorm would perform bass, vocals and possible additional guitar duties as a session musician. He may also perform syncussion as well. It was around this time that Windstorm contributed lyrics to Ach for use in the opening track from the upcoming album, titled "Apacghoulypse Now", a pun on the title of the 1979 war film Apocalypse Now. Despite this, Windstorm is not an official member of the band and is merely producing and contributing guest vocals and instrumentation to the record. As of yet there are no talks regarding whether or not Windstorm will produce The Heretics' planned sophomore cover album The Great COVER-Up, but the possibility is not absolutely ruled out at this time.
