Fun Stuff > BAND

Guys, I just finished my second album. Care to listen?

(1/3) > >>

iglidante:
I just finished my second album today, after a year and a half (on and off) of work. It's made up of 11 tracks that combine hard rock, industrial beats, and electronic sounds. It's called "The Shivers," and I put it up on BandCamp to be listened to (in high quality, no less).

EDIT: Some direct links to tracks:

Close Your Eyes, an electronic track with buzzing synths and introspective lyrics.

Girl's Got Altitude, a pounding rock track with a catchy chorus.

Going Down, a gritty number with a screaming solo at the end.

Supersonic, a hot mess of swirling synths and booming drums.

I'm not even sure how to feel now that I'm done.

Melodic:
it uh

i guess i feel like your music does an okay job of imitating other kinds of music

Wasteroo:
oh man, that genre switchup in Diamond Dust is pretty abrupt

edit: I was about to proclaim my love for "Going Down" but then I realized the only reason it sounded so frenetic and arrhythmic was because I accidentally had the song playing in two tabs at once, a quarter second apart :(

edit 2: Clarified and Close Your Eyes are pretty good, and definitely standouts for me, so I guess I'm just not a rad hair metal guitar kind of guy

Pfft. Find me some rock music which doesn't have a precedent.

This sounds good and I like the artwork. It's not my thing but I was impressed by the quality of what I assume was a digital recording.

iglidante:
Thanks for taking the time to listen, guys. Let me try to respond to everything:

Melodic: Honestly, I'll take that as a compliment. It's all been done before, and I just tried to make the best songs I could. What bands do you find that I sound like? I'm really curious.

Wasteroo: Yeah, Diamond Dust as the intro was my way of trying to introduce the album as a whole. There are a lot of songs that mix heavy sounds with electronic ones, others that are just heavy, and others that are purely electronic. I figured it would be a good introduction. And Close Your Eyes is one of my favorite tracks from this album - I really love the way that one turned out.

Ptommydski: I really appreciate that even though the sound isn't your thing, you still took the time to comment. This is absolutely a digital recording/production - a combination of FL Studio, Sound Forge, and iZotope Ozone/RX.
