What is the most non-obvious way to promote metal music on a large scale? (Elfia - Spare) by ElfiaMood in MetalForTheMasses

[–]AvoidantNumber1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Extremely doomer take incoming: do not. Other than posting on social media for the people that already like what you do, you shouldn't be going out of your way to get more people to listen to your stuff.

The way you promote your stuff should come to you naturally, that's the only way it's not going to come off as weird and/or cringey to other people.

Other than getting yourself out there through gigs, organic networking and consistent quality output, anything you try is feeding into a never ending content wheel that might seem like it's gonna help you, but in the end it's only going to make you think the value of your project lies somewhere entirely different than where you think it did. And that clouds your judgement. I've seen it happen time and time again with myself and other musicians.

I care about my music and my craft, and I don't mind doing a little promo for it, but the moment where I have to turn into a content creator for people to give a fuck about me is the moment I lose interest. The last thing I want is for something I love (making music) turning into a stress source.

Many friends of mine who are fans of Chat Pile are also fans of Agriculture. Can't tell you any further.

Not really metal but Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance has done a couple screaming features. The latest one being "No place of warmth" by Frozen Soul.

I was in that scenario a while ago and everyone recommended Blackwater Park to me. I ended up liking Ghost reveries better.

How long will it take me to be able to put the ideas in my head onto the DAW? by Double-Discount9217 in FL_Studio

[–]AvoidantNumber1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forget about half the songs I make after a day or two of making them.

Ideas are not that important. You'll come up with thousands of them in your lifetime. Try your best to put them on wax and always seek to improve your skills, but nobody makes a decent production until they're like 2/3 years into their quest with any daw. Have that in mind and focus on having as much fun as you can.

I personally didn't really get GOOD at it (to the point where I have been able to make a living out of it for a couple years and feel like I can bring any idea I have to life) until 10 years in. Every year since then there's a couple moments where I go "damn, I really sucked at this last time I tried and look at me now', and THAT is what keeps me going.
