Awesome, I like how much bass is featured in the sound. The songwriting is really sophisticated. One of my favorite things I've seen in Promote Yourself in a coupe of months.

Zeolite: Compulsion Zeolite: s/t Aborted and co. are coming to Australia later this year, doing my research on the co. part. Breeding Filth: Perverse Devolution Naeramarth: The Innumerable Stars

5/10 Cool, but kinda repetitive. Has some moments I really like.

That's a pretty tricky thing to empirically confirm, I'd imagine it can depend on how you're listening. If it did improve attention span zoning out or enjoying atmosphere might work less well than analyzing everything.

I'd probably have put Slow, Deep and Hard/Origin Of The Faeces first. To me it has an attitude and hard-hittingness to it that no other album matched entirely. I'd also have put Life is killing me more towards the front of the list (around second or third), I like the couple of punkyer songs on that album and IYDKMIGHTKY is also a pretty awesome song. Also, I think "I Like Goils" was a humerus attempt to clear up questions on his sexuality bought up by his playgirl appearance. Apart from that, my list would be pretty similar.

Hi Mephistopheles (cool name). This song has some OSDM-ish moments but is mostly (from what I would consider OSDM) other stuff. Off the top of my head, the closest OSDM band to your song would be something like Brutality. I guess I'll break my comments into 2 sections. Songwriting and arrangement: I like the first riff, a pretty strong start. The dissonance and bends go well together. Some of the doomy stuff at the front (at around 0:37) feels unnecessary and a little boring to me, this is subjective. Maybe you could have developed it during it's last four bars or something. I guess you didn't want to distract from your sample. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on with the guitars in the first verse, but your riff structures remind me a little of something I've heard in the Slipknot catalog. I'm also not sure if your vocal pattern really lines up with the guitar rhythm. I like the drumming. The bridge in the middle of the song (starts at around 2:14) sounds like it belongs on Ride The Lightning. Love the way the guitar enters in the first solo, excellent whammy abuse. The melodic triplet part that follows, on he other hand seems somewhat clumsy, I think you may have started on a weird beat and the triplets may be polyrhthming or something with sixteenth notes played on the bass drum, making you sound out of time. Are the two tapping parts meant to be one continuous part with a punch in or two dueling solos? In the case of the second, the first guy should have done something dramatic as he finished, possibly resolved down by altering the tapping pattern or held a long note under the start of the second guys solo. It sounds like at times your using slow parts to bridge gaps in your songs. That works, but a more OSDM thing to do would be to either: a) go straight to the next part (fuck foreplay, this is death metal! If my listener needs to be eased into things, my listener is a pussy) b) a quick stop start, as you have done in some parts c) stop, reintroduce one guitar and dramatically reintroduce everything else to give your song a little more impact. Not all instruments have to be playing at all times. You can make your song a little more interesting by occasionally cutting an instrument out, especially just before a big moment. A good example of this is something Suffocation does a couple of times where they cut everything but bass for a new section (letting the bass play one bar or half of a bar) and then bringing back the guitar and drums for a really impactful introduction of a new idea. I would probably work in a couple of tight, palm-muted moments to make the song a little more hard hitting and a little more death metal. Maybe pick scrape with one guitar or the other (or take it in turns) as it can sound sloppy when 2 guitars do it and it doesn't line up 100%. Mixing and tone: Your guitar tone is very bass heavy, it makes it muddy at times, what you think of this should depend on what tone you're going for and weather or not you want to be able to hear the bass. Would you rather sound like Mortician or most slam bands (bass heavy walls of sound) or like Athiest Death during Individual thought Patterns (crunchy midsy guitars that let you hear the bass guitar). Your sample should probably be louder, I can't really make out what it's saying. Your mix is a little muddy in general but I get that goes with your aesthetic. Have you high pass filtered everything I would make a point of giving a higher high pass to the lead guitars and (to a much lesser extent) vocals. Your vocals sound like a characterful performance but I can't hear them that well, maybe carve some EQ holes (attenuate one or two high or mids frequencies) in the guitar and stick the vocals in them (gain those same frequencies on the vocals). This depends on the sound you want to go after though, in a lot of DM, the vocals are just a rumbly noise. Did you pan the Bass to one side? I could see why you did as it gives your kick drum and vocals some room but you don't have to do this, you can just use EQ. Hope there's something helpful in all of that.

Happy birthday @deathstorm.

I'll probably be going.

Thanks, I'll get on that.

Hadal Maw have released a single from a new album they'll be releasing in time for their shows with Psycroptic and Archspire (any Melbourne guys going?). I like what I've heard, more dissonant and convoluted than their last album.

Hi. Do you have any traits other than being an angry (from your title, quote and biography) newcomer? Do you like any specific kinds of metal?

Horrendous: Soothsayer (New Track Premiere) Glorior Belli: The Apostates

-Gorguts: Colored Sands Memorable, unusual and atmospheric, A strong addition to the Gorguts discography. -Unhuman (s/t) Unique vocals on an album of varying tracks, a classic to most who know it. -Vektor: Terminal Redux. Progressive blackened thrash, full of energy, low on wank. I've seen it hailed as "the album that simultaneously saved thrash and black metal", I think that may be pushing it a little but the album is undeniably a classic. Another example of strange vocals adding to memorability. -Pyrrhon: What Passes for Survival: Often compared to Gorguts' Obscura in its presence as a further step away from convention. A collection of strange tomes from the unconventionally distorted guitars and bass to the demented vocals. Dissonant note selection and unlikely guitar techniques meet strong mathcore influences. -King Parrot: Dead Set. The most ambitious album of a grindcore act who managed to become popular enough over the 2010's for some of my metalhead friends who couldn't name a Death album to know. Possibly only classic to Australians. -Sutrah: Dunes. The debut album of a Montreal progressive death metal trio. Interesting melodies of distinctly different flavors from those used in 90% of death metal. -Gogira: L'Enfant Sauvage. A progressive death/groove concept album, full of simultaneous groove and tension.

Archspire: Relentless Mutation Slamophiliac: Slam Redux

Yes. It's not really a secret, I've linked my google drive here before.

I've seen you there a couple of times.

Welcome to Facebook. Did you expect the comments to be filled with brilliant intellectuals? I think it depends on the group. Of the groups I'm in, the people in these groups https://www.facebook.com/groups/1753291644715350/?hc_ref=ARQCmNxLx-AxzbNTB1Sy510hNArW2F4xjNFaNsupwNEC4mp_ZumOjN1gEvjIeF-grmA https://www.facebook.com/groups/TPMBDMSharing/?ref=nf_target&fref=nf tend to make worthwhile recommendations although there are some pointless threads (not entirely dissimilar to some of those on the forum).

Which symbols are you having trouble with? To use Word on this sight, write your comment in Word and then select the text, press CTRL and C simultaneously and then click in the place where you would normally write a comment on this sight and press CTRL and V similtaneousy. If that is difficult, forget about it (it's not important). I appreciate the performance. I could not come up with this character.

Amon: Liar In Wait Suffocation: ...Of the Dark Light

Most of your posts here have been generally comprehensive but sometimes vague. You'd probably get your points across a little better by being as specific as possible and trying to elaborate more on your ideas. When reading this post, for example, I am unsure as to weather you want better discuss music or if you want more generalized advice. I am also not sure if you want advice for this forum or everyday life. Additionally you sometimes have a few spelling and punctuation errors (as do I). You might benefit a little from copying and pasting stuff into Microsoft Word or something similar before posting in order to take advantage of its corrective functions.

Yes.

I have some stuff you could use, I'd warn you that most of my unfinished stuff is unfinished for a reason though. Everything I have I can easily remove the vocals from or give you individual instrument tracks.

Looking forward to it.

Got it recorded anywhere?

The ghost looking like your neighbor makes me think it was a dream but you knowing the specific time makes me think otherwise. If you see something like this, look at your hands and count your fingers. If you have a different amount than normal, you're dreaming. Alternatively, I would guess hallucination. Have you been ingesting, inhaling or injecting anything that an average person wouldn't (medicine, supplements, food, drugs) and getting enough sleep? Maybe its ammonia in urine from your dead cat causing hallucinations (sorry for your loss). Or it could be psychological due to grief. These would be my guesses.
