Happy Mother's Day!

12 May 2013 - 09:36 AM

I know that the shizz does seem to have a slightly higher male population than female, and I can't think of anyone on here that I know is a mother, but regardless...

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

 

If you're a mother, thanks for being you!  If you're a father, thank your wife/baby's momma today!  


New chip metal by Heosphoros and Tadpole (DIAD)

09 May 2013 - 05:52 PM

Heosphoros and Tadpole have teamed up as DIAD, and just released their first EP/album/whatever today.  You can get it free through Ubiktune, or get it through Bandcamp and toss a few bucks their way.

 

Over a year ago, Heosphoros hit me up to do a cover of one of the tracks, so my metal remix is on there too.  I'm a worthless shill, which has been pointed out on here before.   ;)

 

It's all pretty damn cool, and pretty damn metal.  As I've mentioned before, I'm not the biggest fan of chipmusic, but this stuff is really awesome and definitely in line with my interests.  I'd like to redo the whole album with guitars and stuff, if I had time.

Jeff Hanneman Tribute Album SIGNUP!

07 May 2013 - 06:33 PM

Seriously, why the fuck haven't we all started this yet?  As has been mentioned in the other thread, I think a lot of us agree on two points:
 
1 - Hanneman wrote a lot (if not all) of the best Slayer songs; and
2 - Even if some of us don't actively listen to Slayer much anymore, he was a huge influence on the genre and on a lot of us individually.
 
I was talking to tBoG on good ole Facebook yesterday and he mentioned that we should start up a tribute album in honor of the man himself.  So let's do it!
 
Here's the skinny:
- Any Slayer song is fair game.  I think it would be cool to focus on the one's that Jeff wrote, but anything from their catalog is good.  
- If someone has already taken a song, that one is not available, though you can always hit them up about collaborating.
- You can sign up for more than one, but keep it reasonable, and plan on delivering.  Don't just pick your favorites and then not do them.  This is for everyone.
- Style doesn't have to be metal, but I think the guiding light should be "would Jeff Hanneman have thought this was rad or fucking lame?"
- Everyone is responsible for their own mixing/mastering/etc.
- Final tracks are due June 30th.  No WiP dates, no check-ins, just the honor system.  If you miss it, you miss it.
- Final album will be a free download that I'll host unless we get some place like Skrow! to host it.
 
Here's the signup list:
VikingGuitar - The Darkness of Christ / Disciple
tBoG - Killing Fields
ShawnPhase - Seasons in the Abyss
Rize - Bitter Peace
clansmaneddie - The Antichrist

You never give me info on what to get you, so here's the most discomfort-inspiring furry based "Fox Dragon" I could find.
