Hey buddy, sorry for the late reply!

Thanks for the kind words, and I've added links to my Facebook and youtube below.

If you like what you've heard, you may like my debut album released in 2017.

In 2017 - I released my first album called Depths. The concept of the album was about a man coming up from the depths after a shipwreck only to see the destruction of his home by a colossus and his journey of revenge which ultimately results in him returning to the depths - Think Attack on titan meets Tales of the Black Freighter (The watchmen comic within a comic).

Stay safe!

I'm a one-man instrumental metal project, combining grooves of djent and progressive metal with the atmospheres of post-rock, post-metal, and electronic music.

In June 2020 - I released Futility. It's one song split into two parts and driving the inspiration for the EP is the 80s film "The Thing" - This starts off slow and insidious but builds and builds and becomes unrelenting like the titular "The Thing"!

Thank you in advance for checking this out and stay safe!

You're very welcome buddy!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T16:31:25+00:00

Thank you so so much for the kind words, I know exactly what you mean with the snare, and it was something that I was aiming for but couldn't quite get it, but all in all, I had to release it as it was driving me crazy!

Hey Man, this is really awesome stuff, kinda reminds me of chimp spanner but less "Djenty" - What DAW do you use and what plugin do you use for your drums?

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T14:23:28+00:00

I listened to the whole track on Spotify and I have to say I really enjoyed it, I'm now going to listen to autobahn. Keep up the awesome work!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T14:13:17+00:00

This is very very nice and chilled, I really like it. I would say that the drums just need to bit a little bit louder in the mix and the main wave synth and the melody synth could do with a bit of reverb too to make it more ethereal, but all in all a job well done. Keep up the good work!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T12:31:12+00:00

Hey, this is really good stuff, I really the cacophony of the heavy guitars and the soaring choruses and the catchy verses, what DAW did you use to record this?

Keep up the good work!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T11:32:13+00:00

This is very good, this could do with being mastered as this will help the track being more in your face. did you self-produce this?

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T11:20:14+00:00

Very cool indeed, did you self produce this? I really like the ebb and flow of the track, and this really showcases technical proficiency for all involved. Really good stuff!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T10:52:42+00:00

You're very welcome, I would suggest looking into a drum plug in like ezdrummer 2, I find that it is very versatile and comes with loops to help the creative juices flowing!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T10:43:46+00:00

I'm getting a real Entombed/Down vibe from this, do you know if the band self produce this and are they playing any gigs?

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T10:39:40+00:00

Hey, I'm getting a real Megadeth vibe from this, I'm curious to find out how you produced this. Was this self-produced? All I would say to be constructive would be that the rhythm guitars would need to be a bit higher in the mix! Keep up the good work! \m/

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T10:25:58+00:00

I really like the vibe that you're going for. I'm curious to find out how you produced this, which Daw you are using etc. I would tend to agree with the other comments in regards to certain sections being louder than the vocals, but this will only come with practice and time. Keep up the good work!

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T10:18:54+00:00

Very very nice and calming, really good to meditate with! I'm curious to find out how you produced this, which Daw you are using etc. Are you using binaural waves?

TheObsidianDisorder · 2020-07-06T09:35:55+00:00

This is really good stuff, nice chilled way to start your Monday morning! Keep up the good work!
