Missionary Fades

Missionary Fades is a solo music project put together by London based musician Glenn Fernando, influenced by mainly 90's grunge and post grunge. All songs were recorded and produced by Fernando on Logic Pro from home.

The music explores themes of the bipolar condition, despair, insecurity, falling, positive energy, growth, recovery and re-birth. The meaning of the name "Missionary Fades" is described by Fernando as "keeping faith in the face of turmoil." Musically influenced by Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of the Stone Age, Living Colour and Skunk Anansie. Lyrically expresses a downtrodden, brooding but also uplifting vibe.

Fernando plays all instruments on each album including drums, bass, rhythm & lead guitar, violin, banjo, mandolin, piano and vocals, with the exception of "Riding on a Wave" on the album "Intakes of Sanity" (guitar solo by Quinton Lucion) and "The Last Doorway" on "Drone Bloodlines" (Piano by Denis Fernando).
