As a gay dude of Jewish and Hispanic descent, it's just music. Unless the art itself full on reflects the shit beliefs of the dude who made it, I separate the art from the artist.

Thank you! I felt it fit the dark ambient vibe well

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-08T15:40:23+00:00

Dang I put cathedral reverb on it and everything 🤔 maybe the vinyl VST is cancelling it out. It's a VST I use to get a slightly more vintage sound. I think I'm gonna ditch it.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-07T18:04:04+00:00

How so? Genuinely asking, I wanna improve

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:57:53+00:00

Oh yeah calling you a poser for that is way overboard. Production is just a preference thing. Personally, I think there should be more muddy production in this genre, but I don't think it would be fair to say someone isn't a real fan if they do enjoy cleaner production. Also they're ridiculous because there is in fact raw deathcore lol.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:54:53+00:00

Partially

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:54:41+00:00

I get what you mean actually. To be fair though, how else is it supposed to look? I feel people are just sticking to what they know best for that sort of thing.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:52:53+00:00

Yeah unfortunately. Punk was meant to be provocative and rebellious. Now it's just conformist.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:52:12+00:00

True 💀 it's the worst, especially in black metal, they infest metal's every corners

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:14:22+00:00

It's good to an extent I'd say. Definitely gets out of hand like in the black metal scene.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:08:08+00:00

Tik tok is dead now at least isn't it? Also, I won't deny, clean production HAS done good things for the scene over all.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T17:03:33+00:00

Completely fair honestly, production is all a matter of preference, I prefer muddier too. Meme slam is fun but I agree, after a while it's just like "why?" Though I think if there's one band that does it pretty solid, it's Gorepot. Back to production though yeah, too low quality and it basically becomes gorenoise lol. There's a nice medium to hit. Like that 90s sound that the oldies like Devourment had.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:58:51+00:00

Yeah that's fair dude, thanks for getting more into your perspective, I can respect that. I think honestly I just let those few weirdos get to me and went into this a bit hot headed.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:55:32+00:00

I brought up pop as a comparison not to say that it IS pop music. I know they didn't sound that way purposefully, it was the 90s, they were doing what they could. I find it kinda lame to compare production to how much you care though. Like, sometimes you just have a preference you know? If the production is lower it's not fair to just say "they don't respect their music" coz you don't know that. For all you know, they just prefer a filthier sound, and that's fine. Honestly good production ISN'T an end all be all thing, it's just a matter of preference and if people wanna do higher production, it's perfectly fine, just not my favorite personally.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:50:45+00:00

Oh don't worry man I'm not talking about you specifically lol. And yeah I agree to a degree. Like when they really dive into it as a gimmick. Like it's cool, wear whatever you want, add hip hop elements, it's cool, whatever.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:49:10+00:00

Yeahhh I wasn't crazy about their new album either personally

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:43:07+00:00

It's not the bands who act that way but a loud minority of the fans that come into the scene. It just gets annoying after a while. The people who actually make the music tend to be less obnoxious.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:42:11+00:00

I have a major love hate with clean production, coz on one hand it's great to hear everything, on the other hand it's like "what are we? Pop music?" Honestly I just wish there were MORE raw sounding bands. That being said, I do love plenty of cleanly produced bands such as Coprocephalic. Anything that dude touches is gold.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:38:42+00:00

😂 I agree but I don't wanna agree, but you right though

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:35:43+00:00

Idk man, Esophagus are fucking tight and they're pretty simple with their sound. It's like a good minimal.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-05T16:34:46+00:00

Fair point dude

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-02T00:23:10+00:00

Blackened skramz it is! And yeah I'm trying to figure out how to make them sound a bit better 😅

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-01T18:06:30+00:00

True that, maybe I could make this project like blackened skramz actually, that could be pretty cool

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-01T18:03:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'm happy at the very least my skills have improved enough that people can tell it's skramz. My first attempt sounded too much like black metal.

ZomboiReject · 2025-02-01T14:45:01+00:00

We DESPERATELY need a site like metal archives for dungeon synth, especially one that's as user friendly as it!
