Musician, producer. Progressive rock/metal with healthy portions of alternative, folk, and whatever else I think is cool.

I am beyond honored and pleased to release this song, Logic Dictates, featuring Alex Parkinson @MothmansTbirds on additional vocals and @EgorLappo supplying a guitar solo for the ages. Thanks to both a million! Beyond epic!

Hey ChatGPT, stroke my ego.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

Hellllllloooo….I’m still here and currently mixing my next album called Electric Dream. Let’s make it sometime in the autumn, all right?

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

The new album is recorded, but I’m going to sit on it and try to forget it. When I come back to it in a month or so, I hope to have a fresh perspective. It feels like there’s something missing, some secret sauce that’s eluding me. I think a healthy break will help me find it.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

You know, I’ve been to hundreds of shows in my life, but that Nine Inch Nails concert last night maybe the best one I’ve ever seen.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

Yes, and it was amazing!

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

It’s been 32 years

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

Out of ten songs I’ve recorded for the new album, two really stick out, and not in a good way. They just don’t fit. So, I’m going back in to record two more new ones, or one longer one. We’ll see what shakes out.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I wanted one more song for the new album, so I sat down last night and banged out a rhythm on the drum machine. Thirty minutes and a few riffs later, I more than succeeded in my task. Prepare for whiplash.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I took these snow days to complete another song for the new album. It’s going to be the title track and the album opener, which means it’s pretty epic.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I’ve recorded 7 songs for the new album so far, and there is a definite vibe going on that’s way different from what I’ve done before. I don’t know…I think you’ll either love it or hate it, depending on how much you’ll tolerate synths and an industrial vibe alongside my usual.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I’m working on a completely ridiculous and cheesy song inspired by my awful neighbors. Super fun.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I need 25 more streams to hit a 1000 for my song Pathfinder on Spotify. Please do me a solid and head over there so I can get my 35 cents 😜https://t.co/2pdPd1GSFT

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

Always appreciated 😀

The lineup for the bands I’m going to see this year are like a blueprint for my own music: NIN, Extreme, Rush, and Foo Fighters. If I could just somehow make it to the Opeth tour, it would be a full house. ♠️♥️♣️♦️🎸

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I’m a few days late, but I hope everyone has a great 2026! Make it happen!

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I hope everyone has a great holiday season. 🎄🎅🏻

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I wrapped up a new song last night. I’m heading in a slightly different direction this time around, and it’s been very inspiring. I think the lyrics are some of my best. I can’t wait for others to hear it.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

Currently working on a song that has a few passages that are extremely “Rush-like”. The way I see it, if Dream Theater can rip them off, then I, a nobody from Missouri, can too.

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

Synths

[Neil Howell @HowellNeilW]

I’ve been on a writing spree the past few weeks. I have demos of 9 songs so far, and looking to add a few more. I’m interested to see (and hear) where this will all end up. I’d sum up that what I have so far is a mix of 90s industrial and 70s prog rock.
