A spaced old metalhead guitar freak who listens to everything from Frank Zappa to Marduk, Darkthrone to Pat Metheny, Miles Davis to Opeth, Sonny Sharrock to Decapitated, ...
As long as it is heavy and interesting, I'll give it a listen. No Country or Rap, though,.. ugh! Just not for me.
I now have a separate BLOG which will eventually become sort of a secondary website. The Dimaension X Realm
Note that my Soundclick Player is now exclusively playing the new album, so you can listen and preview it here. Click the "play" button and crank up the volume to MAX!!
06/29/2008 - Album Update!!
I have finally added the Cyberthief Strikes Back album to the Internet Archive (see below in my usual album listings). I will keep the Mediafire link posted here for awhile, but The Internet Archive is a better, more permanent home.
I am Become Daevel is more Heavy, like the last songs of Leprosia Doom. It has some beautiful passages of jazzy synth so in conclusion its Heavy not Black. Its great all the mixture, it expresses your large variety of likes :).
I agree that Opeth getter better and better with every album, and I've always found it interesting when "fans" of the band disregard anything they've done after Morningrise. Those listeners apparently haven't grown as the band has, which is fine. I just hate hearing that Opeth now "sucks" because they follow their own muse.
As for being the best metal album of the year, I hate even lumping it with metal. It's so above the metal category, almost to the point that it could have it's own. Progressive metal . . . most certainly.
I am honored by your request and kind words. Your body of work is outstanding and beyond impressive. I REALLY dig your drone doom album and look forward to exploring and enjoying your other albums. The diversity of your influences and the sheer magnitude of your sound is simply mind boggling. Keep up the superb work and feel free to stay in touch. With much respect from California, -JCS
Death To Music productions present a totally FREE 4-track EP of new awesome swedish death metal band 'Bring Your Own Knife ! In the style of At The Gates & The Haunted - and early In Flames and Dissection !
Hey DX, long time! Haven't been on MS in awhile and was checking up to see what's new with your tunes. Thought maybe you'd be up to 12 albums by now...no shortage of creativity for you! Hope all is well, man...and keep em coming! ~Blake
Hey DX....long time man! Your music is sounding as fresh as ever. Just stopped by to see how many more albums you've made (you never seem to be short on ideas or energy). Hope things are well with you mate. ~Blake
Oh, thanks, i've heard some on your soundclick. com tunes. You're a pretty good composer; i've found interesting the way you've chosen for your orchestral arrangements.
We are blasting the trumpets and sounding the war-drums because the first scribed battle-hymns are now available exclusively ! (please order quick to ensure you recieve your free parchment !)
The title track of the E.P - "Hark the Herald" - can now be heard on our profile along with 2 others !
Oh, I see, I don't know who put my stuff on that blog, but I'd have to thank him or her for this kind of support =) Btw, thanks for the visit. Stay tuned.
Incoherent Universe is complete now. Feel free to download the free mp3s. The genre is instrumental rock/metal with black metal influences on a few tracks.
Yeah man, for sure. We're actually going in a small studio this fall to record full songs, so we're pretty pumped about it. At the moment though, we don't have a lead singer or a drummer. Worse comes to worse, we'll program some drums and get some session vocals. But no matter what happens, there'll be a full-fledged CD out by next February (unless somebody on the other end screws up, of course).
Greetings! Very interesting stuff, you got a lot going on here! Really like the crisp and clear sound of the guitars too... Keep it up, and stay in touch!
