Title: Some of my new horrible music - Mixed/Mastered by MDV
Post by: nfe on July 16, 2012, 02:11:23 PM

Roughly as cheerful as an Irreversible, Martyrs and Funny Games triple bill.

From a split that comes out soon but we've stuck three of the six tracks up on bandcamp in advance. Mark did a swish job and is a marvelous character to work with.

EDIT: If folks are at all interested it's all recorded by me in my house in Pro Tools. Mostly with Guitar Rig 3 and a Parker Fly Classic with a Ceramic Warpig bridge. There's also a stock '08 Les Paul Standard and a Blackmachine B2 with Painkillers on one of the tracks there.

My pleasure duder, likewise - well engineered, played and fun to work with (and on).

Theres a tremendous amount going on in these songs; very well composed (doubly so since the complexity doesnt get in the way of, in fact, works in aid of the intended coarse and hellish vibe), I highly recommend a listen for those that like the most brutal end of things. I know youre out there.

Well, I entered with fear and trepidation... But I came out the other side with no obvious injuries :lol:

I'm never going to listen to this kind of stuff with any regularity, but I was well impressed. Really glad I've heard some of your stuff now.

And yeah, there is a huge amount going on in the arrangements. Like MDV says, it doesn't get in the way but aids it all.  It's almost as if hearing the musical complexity - which I understood - got me into hearing and appreciating each track as a whole.

Nice one :D

I enjoyed this thoroughly more than I anticipated. This is excellent stuff.

A++ would listen to again.

Tried listening, but the wife came back from the gym and glared at me.

Will check it out later, what little I heard has me in the AndyR camp - appreciative, but it will never set my world on fire.

Just out of interested, and fully aware of my ignorance, how would you describe that, genre-istically speaking?

Dunno really. I suppose it's grindcore for the most part. There's near as much black metal in there as there is grind, though.

Love it, but would've liked more weight in the kick drums - it doesn't PUNCH like I expect when played loud.

Brilliant stuff mate, but I've known this for a long time anyways :)
