Reality After Midnight

Reality After Midnight is the seventh album by William C. Woxlin. According to William C. Woxlin the album is a concept album revolving around a man's life in a big city where he've to battle with drugs, alcohol and parties.

For this album William combined influences from his ex-group Sywnthkrawft, with his more ambient projects. This is also the first album to feature vocals by William C. Woxlin.

Since William's change of name (from 'William Johansson' to 'William C. Woxlin') this album will be released under his new name during the spring of 2009.

Overview

The first recording sessions started in May 2007 with the whole group; but later William discharged Gustav Jacobsson and Viktor Jacobsson from the project and recorded the album by himself.
