Title: New Halo of Flies album.
Post by: KharBevNor on 10 Dec 2005, 20:08

Yes, this is self-fellating, but jeez, I don't care.

I just got the first proper, full-length Halo of Flies album online. Official release date is December the 8th though (dedicated to Lennon zomg).

I mainly say this here because 1) free publicity 2) I know some of you (gasp) actually like my music, for some wierd fucking reason.

For those not in the know, Halo of Flies is me fucking around with FL Studio, some instruments and a microphone, making ambient forest aggressive digital space music, or something.

Cover art:

Personnel:

Keys, vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, bodhran, other percussion, programming, sequencing, composing, producing, mixing, artwork, photography....me.

Track-listing:

1. A Nautical Theme (1:02)
2. Endless Pagan Woodlands (5:48)
3. St. Anthony's Fire [Ergot Cogito Sum Mix by Death Throes] (4:04)

You got a larger vers. of that cover art? I'm gonna pass this CD around and I'd like the gem to have a nice cover.

It takes some nerve to tell a man you're gonna bootleg his album, then ask for snazzier cover art.

Although, I'd like to point out, that

a)The download above is low quality shit (I master each album in 128kbps for last.fm and 192kbps for actually listening to. That's the 128).
b)I'm soon gonna launch a website and start selling Halo of Flies and Death Throes material (as well as Wyred and Ill Met by Moonlight stuff eventually.) on CD and Cassette. T-shirts too. It will be awesome.

When It's properly up I'll put the address here. In the meantime, I'm giving you full permission to bootleg the living shit out of me.

Man I just bought this bootleg on eBay for like $90 and it's totally great. The bass right up at the beginning of track 2 kicked my face right in half. I love the spoken bits, although I wasn't 100% on the sung bits.

PS vinyl pressing plzkthx

Bitchin! Halo Of Flies is some pretty badass stuff; especially Vinland. rawk.



EDIT: If we have full permission to bootleg the hell out of it, I have a friend of mine who would really like this stuff. I'll get him a copy.


P.S. I don't necessarily believe in the parctice of buying/selling bootlegs, since the seller is making money off something he didn't do, and I just think that bootlegs should be free, personally, or traded for others, but I'm crazy.
What band was it, anyways?
