This is my very first release, don't judge harshly. At the time of creating the music from this EP, I did not know how to mix music and work with the sound from the word at all. But soon there will be a second one and everything is much better there. I really want to be heard by at least someone, and I will be pleased with any feedback and criticism. All the best.

Trying to be more real with myself & get in touch with my natural tenor side, attempting to let go of wishing I was a bass or baritone. This is *almost* flooring it. If you guys want, I could floor it for real in my next post. What are your thoughts?

Working on a solo project, thoughts on this demo? No vocals yet but inspired by the creativity of modern Darkthrone

What’s working? What could I improve?

Pray For Plagues (raw, one take vocal cover) [see caption]

Delete if not allowed:

# So this was recorded with my phone, in my car. No microphone, no editing, all one take.

Hearing how BMTH is re-recording \*Count Your Blessings\* I had to give this a try. I’ve only ever covered stuff from There is a Hell, and Sempiternal, and one song from Suicide Season. Never really posted any of them cause the internet can be ruthless.

I’ve always wanted to make music, just never really had the means to do so. It was my dream growing up. I used to dance around in my room like a fool with a mic not even plugged in. 14 years old imagining that one day I’d be doing it \*for real\*. Well, life started life-ing and before I knew it, without even realizing I had given up on it. Well years and years go by (I’m 26 now) I saw BMTH live at Rockville 2026 and it woke something up that I feel was dormant in me.

I’m a dad now and shit isn’t slowing down. I figured I owe it to myself.. and even more my kid to at **LEAST** try.

Give it a listen? Tell me what you think?

What’s releasing stuff like atm?

So I have been writing a 4 track post hardcore E.P by myself over the past year or so and it’s getting closer to release.

What’s the process looking like for release and promotion these days? I am not planning on gigging at all so will just be promoting the music.

Death metal (ish) vocalist required

Hey!

I'm looking for a talented death metal / metalcore vocalist to lay down some vocals on my project.

Solely recording and mixing this myself as a first attempt but aiming to polish and release to streaming services etc

Obviously you would be credited on all of the songs you record vocals for and can be as involved as much or as little as you want in the process.

Ideally looking for someone with a home studio ( or at least means to record the vocals well )

Thanks everyone

[Self Promo] Schism's End - My first ever Raw/DSBM demo. Recorded vocals inside a wardrobe, drums are literal baking trays.

I just released the very first demo of my one-man experimental black metal project, Schism's End. It’s a purely alcohol- and drug-free approach, offering a primal sonic catharsis born from isolation.

I did everything entirely by myself with zero budget and zero help. I play a white guitar I call "Dead Angel," and guitars were recorded directly from the amp via my phone. For the drums, I used wooden spoons, plastic containers, and baking trays I found around the house. Vocals were recorded in a single take inside a wardrobe while wrapped in a blanket to capture that suffocating feeling.

Since I'm a beginner guitarist, it is extremely raw, unedited, and flawed. But it is honest. If you are into raw, lo-fi, and depressive sounds, I'd appreciate it if you gave it a listen.

1986 JCM800 2204

Here's our 50w JCM800 from our gig friday night

This is also the cab that came with it...it came with the G12-M70 speakers...didn't care for them, so, sold them and put 2 V30's in and blocked off the other two holes

what’s a good cheap mic for someone starting to get gear?

hi! i’ve been playing for about a year and a half and decided i wanna start recording my own stuff. i’ve looked around and have been told about mics like the AT2020 and C214, but i wanna make sure i get a mic that can capture fry screams and gutturals well. is there any mics under maybe 150 that i can buy fitting that criteria?

Need advice for really bad pre stage anxiety that lasts all day/tour, does it get better?

Hope it’s ok to post here. I’m completely new to the touring world which I was extremely excited about but now that I started to do shows with my band, I get crippling anxiety as soon as I enter the venue that doesn’t subside after roughly the first or second song. I get extremely dizzy to the point where I have to hold onto something or sit all the way until the performance which is hours. As a vocalist i have to mingle a lot pre show (post show I’m usually fine)

Alcohol completely solves the problem but I don’t want to rely on that especially with 2 week tour runs, I can’t be drinking every night. My last show I had 2 drinks and it didn’t help much.

Has anyone experienced this and had it subside and get more subtle? It’s affecting my days after too, I get so sick after and have a headache from tensing up and feeling so bad.

Cant bring myself to actually record and produce music

As the title suggest I cant bring myself to sit down, open DAW and start to actively make music. I have over 50 different riffs and pieces on my phone that I recorded but I just get frustrated in the middle of actually producing and arranging that stuff. Its probably worth to say that I am one-man band and my genre is technical death metal, so making drums as a non-drummer doesn`t do me any justice. How can I fix that emotional barrier and actually bring myself, have motivation to record and finish songs? What is your way dealing with this?

My roomate is a guitarist and he asked me what's the best tune you've ever heard and the first thought came to my mind was fade to black!

u/Vedant8200 — 2 days ago

Is this technical enough to say it is influenced by technical death metal? Are these solos ridiculous because theyre mostly chromatic?

I am not a lead player by trade. Ive put a few solos on my stuff, but nothing this out there. The whole project is full of unconventional sounds and genre combinations, I use a lot of non-functional harmony, minor seconds, tritones, and minor phrygian stuff (im told). On this I wanted something wild snd unhinged sounding like the solos Greg Ginn does on Black Flag songs like Jealous Again. But I dont want it to be silly. I like it, what do you think? Thanks for your time!
