Is this metal?

Metal influences are definitely in play.

Are there death metal influences?

Very cool.  Production quality is amazing.  Other than Reverbnation, what are you doing with these tunes?  Spotify?  iTunes?

Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.

Tight. Nice Mogwai-unto-electronica feel. A bridge would make it classic, but it's one of the best "here's my ####" internet tracks i've heard.

That's why I am asking about metal. You can't have a song called "Into the Abyss" and sound like Donovan.

Thanks very much for the kind words. At the moment these tunes are just posted on ReverbNation. Next step would be Spotify, iTunes, etc. Do you have any experience, advice, etc in doing so?

I'm not familiar with Donovan, but I'm guessing it doesn't sound like him. Does it?

this might be as hard as he ever rocked.

Cool, thank you.  Now I have to go check out Mogwai...

More's the compliment to you that you don't know them - it means you come by your honesty honestly.

Mogwai's great - for each writing project i undertake, i choose a type of music to listen to while i work on it (nk - did one whole thing to African marimba music). Chose Mogwai for a copshow pilot i wrote and it might be the best thing i ever completed. Honest, spare, powerful, mostly instrumental music from Scotland. They've gotten into electronica lately too. I'd start w Happy Songs for Happy People and go chronologically from there, then go back to the beginning (if you find yourself following it that far). GL -

Rock Action!

My Father My King is also a great place to be in the aughts.

Oooh, that does sound like Mogwai without the five minute build-up.

Punk rock. action.

I liked it.  Had a Nine Inch nails feel to it. I could stand a little less fake snare.

 

[wikkidpissah]

Second thought - maybe don't listen to em at all. Stay in your own thing. That's where it happens.

Thanks, I dig the NIN reference as I was going for an industrial kinda sound in places. Thanks for the snare feedback too. Getting the right drum sounds can be tricky.

I really enjoyed this track.  Super sick.  It doesn't sound like random "here's my ####" music from amateurs at all.  It sounds like professional stuff that I would recommend to my friends.  Big fan.  

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Very impressed with the quality. I can totally see this running during the credits of some scifi/action flick. Well done.

That sure is nice to hear. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen. Hope you enjoy future tracks as much as this one!

Thanks. Hearing my music running during the credits of any flick would be pretty amazing.
