Metallll!

I can't deny enjoying this one, regardless of what that says about my sense of taste lol. Seriously, when I'm in the mood for metal I can't have much else, and this hits the spot. I couldn't listen to it every day, but every now and again I'm sure this is what I'll be reaching for :)

Sounds like pure sonic catharsis. I'm not surprised it feels better now that this is out of your system!! It blasts raw feeling through my headphones, and that's awesome. The guitar tone is brutal - reminds me of Devin Townsend's 'Planet Smasher'.

Did that high pitched sound come from a TV?

Kevin said...

No really? Mr. Daniels was visiting for this one? I never would have thought. It's so uplifting.

;-)

Like muppet said, it sure sounds cathartic...hope it was. Lyrically I can relate, the dirge feel not so much.

Kevin said...

um...wonky.net disapeared.

Mike said...

WTF? :)

Is that even a chord? It's as if the Ween boys got in a fight, one of 'em "quit the band" and left town. The other wrote a song about it.

First impressions of course.

Hi,

The "*ucker" effect is really effective... and again with the coolio ending.

I like this alot. It's got so many things going on with so few actual instruments playing.

I like the thing that sounds like a theremin... don't know if it was one, but it gives it an interesting feel.

Wonky.net will be back.

Let's see... "high-pitched sound"... do you mean what Sam refers to as the "theramin"? It's not a theramin, it one of the bazillion synth patches on the Micron, as is that "airplane noise" at the end. The "theramin" was the last thing I put in there, a last-ditch attempt to have SOME melody going on. ;-)

I actually intended to make this thing even more atonal, like Vai's "Chronic Insomnia", but once I started putting the voices in, I didn't want to cover them up.

And I'm finding that I like the "simpler is better" approach right now. I'm sure in a few months I'll be back to cramming in a bazillion things in every corner. The interesting thing about this project is how it really focuses in on the stuff that interests me RIGHT NOW, and then there's immediate payoff on a weekly basis.

But honestly - if I didn't have to put out something every week right now, this is the sort of thing that I would do, then put away in the closet without telling anyone.

Hahahahahahahahahahah!

This one makes me laugh...which may not be the response you want?

But it makes me think of my brain while staring at someone behind the desk of the DMV or a really angry Jim Henson character.

I sort of love it. I love it in that way that I love Rob Zombie...but I know that in two seconds there will be a sweet melody?

I dunno.

I find this fum.

Dave said...

Wonderful, and nice timing too. I'm playing this, full volume with the speakers pointing UP at the humanoid's office above me. Lovely. Free therapy. Thank you.

Not wanting to laugh at your unfortunate week, but I agree with Heather: this is fun. A releaving laughter.

Reminds me of a Morbid Angel instrumental: Abyssous.

An outpouring of frustration and angst, mixed with some scary vocals.

I want my Mum!!

HEV-VEE!! Dark. I like the static sound you had running throughout. Reminds me of a more polished Barkmarket.
