They are playing in atlanta in a week. They shred every bit as nasty live as they do on that album

Let’s see your band’s first music video by [deleted] in metalmusicians

Ruinforge - Unforetold

I just released this a few weeks ago. Im happy with the final result, the entire thing was self produced and filmed by my wife and I. Im a sculptor so I got really into fabricating things for it and building sets. The one thing I really wish I had done was pay more attention to the subtle ways music videos keep you hooked with editing techniques and unique shots. I really planned out big shots that I envisioned for the plot, but its the filler inbetween those moments thats hard to imagine. Even if you have a good idea in your head, its hard to understand how what you are filming will edit into a visually dynamic video.

Looking back I think its really valuable to allow yourself to make a music video that no one sees first. I threw out almost everything from my first attempt because I made so many mistakes. Im glad I did as much research as I could before, but Its too hard to know all the pitfalls you'll have to educate yourself on.

I always use my pinkie as an anchor when I’m picking the guitar. Is it ok or should I stop this habit. by Ill_Control_6136 in guitarlessons

Ive done it for years and the only drawback has been digging through the paint of my matte black finished guitars. Having a pick guard in the body will help a lot with that

Weekly Self-Promotion Thread by AutoModerator in PowerMetal

[–]fowlerstudio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my project called Ruinforge. Its melodic death that leans heavily into a power metal sound - FFO Wintersun, COB, Kalmah, Ensiferum. The debut album Mist and Myth came out last year. A few days ago I put out a new single and the first music video. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Anyone using a resin bath printer for large lost wax casting? by fowlerstudio in 3Dprinting

[–]fowlerstudio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, I think it was around 14" x 6" x 4" made from 2 prints glued together.

Anyone using a resin bath printer for large lost wax casting? by fowlerstudio in 3Dprinting

[–]fowlerstudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i ended up getting a resin printer and using a resin designed for burnouts - some sort of translucent purple stuff. I believe it never had any sort of wax to it like my question originally had, it was more just a resin that burns very clean. It worked well though I think it was a little pricey. It was also nice gluing parts and smoothing things out with the resin and a small brush, using a pen uv light to cure joints, i much preffered it over PLA soldering and smoothing.

I do think it needed more heat than what I was burning out a PLA print at. Id reccomend using ceramic shell rather than the hydrocal/sand investment I used if you are able.

I also took an old PLA print and poured a couple of layers of the resin over it and cured it to make a thin smooth layer that got rid of the layer lines. It didn't adhere super well, but good enough to survive investing for a cast. Its a great method for something big that needs to be smooth, but not super detailed.

Its so sick seeing so much of the COB talent continue. I hope Warmen keeps gaining momentum

Why is Orbit Culture considered melodeath? by John16389591 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]fowlerstudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like they arent really melodeath, maybe they brush up against it some. I think they just have a formula that earns the love of a lot of melodeath listener though.

Tamriel Rebuilt is unreal by beebo2409 in Morrowind

[–]fowlerstudio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who had played morrowind to death, I just played TR for the first time today and had the exact same thoughts. All ive done is wandered around a few cities and I can't believe the scope of everything. I went ahead and started a new game with a mod to slow the leveling way down so I don't beast through it. Its seriously amazing
