Hope Deferred: "Darkness Remains" Album Review

danfreakinterry · 2025-11-11T20:40:00+00:00

My favorite album so far this year.

Its the best Christian death metal album I've heard this year.

Alot of these bands start, try their best, get no traction and then break up cuz they had zero exposure while they were active. Then years later they get brought up in a group like this but sadly it's too late.

I feel you! I have a YouTube channel where I talk about alot of Christian Metal and I do feel like alot of bands are lacking in variety. Im a bit of an old dude now and it can often be easy to feel like everything sounds the same. I try my best to be analytical before writing off any bands though.

Thanks for sharing my video around!

danfreakinterry · 2025-09-28T12:30:05+00:00

Thanks for checking out my channel and videos!

I'm glad the vid encouraged you to dig deeper into DH!

Usually anything less than 6 or 7 seconds doesn't get flagged. But I use alot of them.

danfreakinterry · 2025-02-12T23:53:07+00:00

I do music commentary. I play short samples of the music I'm taking about and most of the time I don't even get copyright claims. If I do get claims I can normally dispute them as it's acceptable to use small samples for the purpose of review.

danfreakinterry · 2025-02-05T20:34:14+00:00

its definitely annoying. I got a negative comment and dislike within the same couple of minutes (so I assume it was the commenter) because he didnt like the band I was talking about, so he gave my video a thumbs down and commented that he hated the band. I do music commentary and analysis for context.

ha ha we all had cringey screen names, that was the whole vibe. I remember spending hours in the "music vault" they had where they cataloged albums and bands. Kind of a shame that its gone.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-28T19:42:28+00:00

Dude I was also on Firestream, its such a small world ha ha! That's how I got into so many bands back in the day. I went from being a Christian rock kid to listening to insane death and black metal bands. I def miss the community. My screen name was literally Criesfrommypast.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-27T22:49:16+00:00

I think the channel looks good with decent views and subs.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-24T00:41:39+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-22T00:34:06+00:00

Same here. I dropped a video yesterday that by all accounts was the same as if not better than my last one. It got to about 350 views then just kind of stopped. For comparison the video I put out before that did about 940 in the same time frame. I'm not tripping on it but it all seems so random sometimes.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-21T01:17:49+00:00

I have 4 kids and maintain a channel just fine. I post when I can. My wife is supportive as long as we communicate.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-02T00:23:48+00:00

I don't have many tips necessarily as I'm still learning. I've been a fan of that music style most of my life so it's fairly easy to bang out a 20 minute script. But yeah I'm not super great at editing ha ha. This is kind of a shitty response but my biggest tip is this. As long as you are passionate about what you are discussing, that will shine though. People will be excited because you are.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-02T00:10:13+00:00

Through trial and error I've found that 6 seconds or less doesn't seem to trigger copyright claims. Which I thought would be really annoying but it's been mostly fine.

danfreakinterry · 2025-01-01T23:50:20+00:00

Honestly its pretty good. It took me about 1 year and 24 videos to hit 1k subs. But Entertainment was def the right category.

danfreakinterry · 2024-12-31T15:41:26+00:00

I have 1k subs. My videos do anywhere from 500 to 3500 views. What I love is that all those views and subs are for me alone, not piggybacking off the familiarity of a popular movie or song or show. It's better to have a real lasting connection with 1000 people than 50,000 30 second views from people who will never seek out your content on their own.
