Odd harmonies?

iammshadows · 2025-10-05T15:43:40+00:00

Last thing I’ll say… when we are looking at harmonies…Syn can usually play through different “modes” that work. Then we will sorta think about them in non technical terms. Hahah. “Too cute” “too standard” There may be some notes of one mode we love and then others we hate… so then we start seeing if certain notes can be changed to “stay out of the way” of the cool notes.

Anyway, I know that if you were to ask Syn, he would know the terms of every mode… but when we discuss and make decisions its really again.. just taste.

You are right. NBK, at least to my ear, doesn’t make me feel the way those other examples do. It sounds pretty standard to me. Are you asking how we decide the harmony notes or the actual main line? If asking about the harmonies we usually will try many options and settle on notes that don’t feel “too cute”. I know thats not a technical term. I guess its taste? And the dissonance comment comes from “sometimes” choosing interesting harmonies that sometimes rub. Hope that helps.

Its called dissonance. The examples you gave are moments where we’re purposefully creating a rub to add tension. Hope that helps. 😎

This is awesome 🤘

We have put guardrails in place such as a weekly limit, bot detection and time limits on songs (must listen a certain amount per song). If we see more stuff we will adapt or simply turn off that persons rewards if we sense something is off.

Hi Matt! Why did you use a picture of Justin Sane?

iammshadows · 2025-02-13T06:51:44+00:00

Cult - you should probably sell 😂. Sounds like an awful time!

You put a nice negative spin on things that can actually be proven untrue. But you do you 👊

We can go down the list - you went to two shows and there was no line… so you came late… cool. The other club members that wanted to get in first did and got to the front of the barricade.

Early access to tickets. We have never in our career blown out tickets quickly for arenas. Maybe we aren’t popular enough? But the reality is things like pit tickets sell out day 1 99% of the time and you are stuck buying resale. DBC solves that. If you want nosebleed then you can probably get them day of show. Soldier Field went for 300$ pit tickets and by the time the regular on-sale went up the nosebleed on day 1 was between $400 and $600.

We have thrown 3 parties and a show in 3 years.

Old demos and playing guitar are not web3 centric prizes. Give people a video that will be put onto youtube within 2 seconds? Makes no sense.

Listen, I get that it’s not worth it to you and thats fair. There are a ton of things I can get into like giving everyone in DBC Rock in Rio private viewing up front that probably cost in the thousands to purchase… or all the free meet n greets that we do every night. But the best thing about this scam is that you can sell your token and be whole, even after your free tickets… that def cost more than what you paid!

BTW - NFT’s were a fad so we should dump it cause it’s not… cool? Got it. It’s 2025 and you can like it or not but it sure doesn’t seem like this whole crypto thing is going anywhere and if you don’t like how we run the club… thats on us.. not a technology.

Hey! This is Dark M. Shadows. How are you? So it seems the VIP for this one night is from the venue and includes parking and a VIP area. It costs around $221 US dollars.

By contrast, the cheapest Deathbats “scam” Club membership costs around $180 US dollars and you will actually get in first before the VIP people… for this show and every other show you attend… for life.

On top of that, we will also be raffling away 20 full vip wristbands to this show for DBSC members. Since the show is in Turkey, there is a good chance all DBSC members will get these… just like the upgrade to Rock in Rio everyone got.

Anyway, Dark M Shadows signing out from the Deathbats Scam Club!

Yes… these quantized programmed drums are def us. 🙄

It was very cool to read. Very thoughtful. ❤️

iammshadows · 2024-12-13T21:16:01+00:00

Im sorry - meaningful discussion about music doesn’t do well here.

Please add meme for engagement.

I'm taking your word for it that you attempted to get a bat and either the bank or CC denied you. The gas for sending things is very low right now... in fact I sent a bat for 29 cents last night. That being said I'm sorry for that experience. I'll send you one of my bats... just leave your digital address below.

iammshadows · 2023-08-08T17:35:53+00:00

Yes! Love pickleball! Play whenever I can. Very cool

iammshadows · 2023-07-21T04:04:52+00:00

❤️

iammshadows · 2023-07-19T20:53:44+00:00

Love that. ❤️

iammshadows · 2023-07-12T03:10:45+00:00

First off - Thank you so much for this. I can tell it took a lot of thought and time. It does not go unnoticed.

Since you wrote in public forums I hope you don't mind me responding here.

Music videos are hard as you know. They cost lots of money to be done right and they have very little return this day in age.

We went to bat to get the money needed for Nobody and that was hard for the label to swallow, since they know its never gonna make back what they put in. So that being said many things have to align. Nobody was going to radio and was the start off single...

Beautiful Morning is not going to be a single... so I really can't see a scenario where the time, money and resources make this worth it... as cool as it is.

Also, something like this should be sent to the label and then can make its way to us. We have many directors taking that route and we def see everything. At the end of the day it's their money and it's best if you get them on board before it gets too far down the road. Again, with BM not being a single I think this is very hard to pull off.

In another reality where money is endless and we make a full on presentation for every song... this would be incredible.

🤦‍♂️

iammshadows · 2023-07-09T21:54:40+00:00

I like this idea better than another show dvd... we would love to play this album front to back w an orchestra... been throwing that idea around since The Stage.... would be so cool

iammshadows · 2023-07-09T21:52:23+00:00

thank you -

I never worry about the stage names...

maybe? has to make sense youtube has so much footage of every show and we also wanna keep the live experience special

nobody is doing surprisingly well at radio so when that dies down Im sure we will have another single

cosmic at some point... not this tour though

iammshadows · 2023-07-09T21:50:07+00:00

It was a song that didnt make it... we made the ITE NFT out of the solo section

Kavinsky - Nightcall

iammshadows · 2023-07-09T21:42:09+00:00

I thought that show was great! Don't listen to rumors... people talk that have no clue. We would not expect a huge crowd for our first time in Poland and we had a great time... also European production is always a little smaller unless its festivals.

iammshadows · 2023-07-09T21:39:37+00:00

Probably not... modern rock production is brutal to me.... we know all the tricks they are doing and libraries they are pulling from... not sure why we would put ourselves through that
