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.

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.

I just did some more uploading, and wanted to share a couple of other songs with you guys:

Insincerity is a bluesy kind of rock instrumental.

That's Okay is a punk-rock type track, short and to-the-point, with a driving rhythm.

Any thoughts on these?

I thought it was pretty awesome. Clarified and Redline stood out to me.

NO

I really liked "going down" it reminded me of something that should have came out during the 90's. Which to me was the best decade of music.

Hey, thanks - Redline underwent a pretty huge shift right before I finished the album. It was originally a straight rock track the whole way through, but I made the last half electronic at the request of a friend. I'm happier with the song now - it wasn't as dynamic before.

NO

Care to...elaborate?

I really liked "going down" it reminded me of something that should have came out during the 90's. Which to me was the best decade of music.

A lot of people have been telling me that I made this in the wrong decade - that if I'd done it in the mid-90s, it would have been popular. That's a bittersweet complement for me, because well...I want people to like it now. But thanks, Aurjay!

Sorry, i meant it as a compliment but i see where your coming from. I did think it was good though.

[iglidante]

Sorry, i meant it as a compliment but i see where your coming from. I did think it was good though.

Oh, no apology necessary. I could tell you meant it as a compliment. It's just tough, because I find myself making sounds from the 80s and 90s, and apparently those sounds aren't...well, as attractive to many as they are to me.
