Protomen - the Comm ~ View topic

Or something like that. I dunno. I dunno how many of us forumites make our own music, but I didn't see a thread for it...and I don't know if this is some big faux pas or whatever but here we go.

I make weirdass industrial metal. Sometimes it's awesome.

Please don't destroy me! I just want to make one post that I'm streaming my new album for a week and then taking it back down (in a cheap ploy to get more listens) before I raise money to press it. Link is in the sole post above.

"discussion of Other Music and Media from Fellow Freedom Fighters"

im pretty sure you fight from freedom so im pretty sure its all clear and good for you to say hey look at my stuff.

as for your music im going to ask you to tell me what you think we should listen to. i listened to virus and down in it from your best of 2009 thing nd have to say its not what i thought your music would be like. thats good and bad maybe...idk. i dont know if i like it or not to be honest. like i said though tell me what you think is your best stuff and ill give it a listen.

also side note: had a gander at the singng in those songs and im assumeing its you but i cant help but wonder how old you are. it doesnt really matter but seriously skills are in there. oh i should probablly have said this earlier but even if its not my taste in music i can definitly see the talent and i can tell there is a market for it.

Sorry, I assumed everyone would know--the new album is Lamda Ecks: Enter The Machine (top middle on the front page) which is probably my best material in terms of complexity and style. It's the direction I primarily want to go in. (It's also got a redo of Virus that's much cooler.)

Serious Songs For Serious Earth is the next one I'm working on, that's why it has four demos. Production-wise it's very raw and aggressive but the actual material is basically...well, it's Metallica and Judas Priest parodies, so it's very fast, metally and it has terrible lyrics.

Also, I'm twenty-one if that gives you any indication towards my vocals.

hrm. Not bad. Not really my thing, but good. Real good. Hella better than the crap on the radio.

so i listened to *enter the machine* and the new version of *virus* and im surprised how calm these songs are. im reading the lyrics as i go along and i think the lyrics are pretty good but im just expecting the songs to jump out and attack me but they never really do. not sure if you are going for anticipation or not but its there. also i have to say this use of synth and i guess *metal* is quite interesting and something i personally havent heard before.(mind you im not a metal head)

i have class now but when i have time ill listen to more.

ok so since i got home ive been listening to the entire album and as of right now im on the song "future" heres the things i will say. it got better listening to it in order. definitly. the paceing is very well done and the slower songs are placed smoothly after something thats a lot faster.

problems i have though. for some reason it sounds like im listening to a bad qualit version of these songs. like they just dont sound clean or loud enough. its hard to describe.

i like the mix of the synth and guitar and like i said before i think the lyrics for the most part are pretty good.

bad though and believe me i really hate to say this. the singing sounds alittle young. i dont know it just sounds a little young. and some tiems its great and i think its good but then other times its just kind of dragging me out of the song.

last bad thing. i swear. the vocals feel overpowered by everything else going on. typically the vocals are ontop of all the other music going on but in this cd they sound like they are underneath the guitar and synth but above the drums. basically i need to turn my speakers up and just make everything louder idk.

like i said though there is alot of good in here as well and its a journey im going to finish and will definitly come back to.

The title track totally is like a mix between The Will of One, The Stand and The Songs of Fate.

Are you joking? I can't tell if you're joking. Because there's a good chunk of rage in there.

Knives is a bastard. Vash kills him at the end. Fuck yeah.
