Wu-Tang was so cool even their clean edits were tight….

This is a screen capture from their video Hole In The Earth.

Ladies, keep this in mind when watching all their new videos where he looks rather handsome.

In Flames and Trivium co-headling. Pure retribution after “The Tragedy of Mayhem Fest“. Couldn’t be more excited to see In Flames in a small venue. This will be a glorious day…

Edit: Dude…

Random stop at Vertigo Music and found a practically flawless digipak release of Thrice – The Artist in the Ambulance. Had no idea this release even existed and only $6.35. CDs are still cool.

$219 dollars in tickets. $91.95 in Ticketmaster charges. To boot a Geico and emusic advertisement in the mailer. Regardless of my burning displeasure with Ticketmaster the show should be great and I’m looking forward to it.

Now is the time for me to rise to my feet. I’ve wiped the spit from my face and wiped the tears from my eyes.

This weekend I teased the release of my response and now I’m ready to take the world by storm. The name of the song is Relentless. When getting my flows down the title felt fitting and randomly sprung into mind. The song wanted to be a heavy and verbal hip song song but comes with vocal surprises.

Overall I’m happy with the project and in the future might be worth revisiting. Being able to dig into small scale audio production was interesting and something new for me. The extent of audio work I’ve done previously was just cutting and making clips so taking an instrumental and building something classified as a ‘song’ is something I’m rather proud of.

Production wise clearly I would classify this as a “demo”. Vocal quality leaves much to be desired and for anybody interested in doing any recording DO NOT plan on making anything good on a Rock Band USB mike. Much of what the final product became was due to needing the vocals to be clean thus some manipulation was used. Originally I wanted to make a much more organic song but after hearing the quality of the mike things went in another direction.

For now I’m going to be controlling the release and if it feels necessary I’ll post direct links here but I doubt it. For now please email me and I’ll send links but really don’t hesitate to pass it around. Right now I have the the finalized track, instrumental, sound effects, and the Garageband 08 project files online and available to send download links to anybody interested.

For round one vanlandw vs vanberge clearly it’s up to the public to declare a winner but in all honesty there is no way I’m not #1

Now if only In Flames would come to Grand Rapids I could safely say I can retire from concerts and feel my work is done.

They gave me $5 in credit for music. I have till September 30 to pick something out anybody have any suggestions?

Edit: Yeah I might get the soundtrack to the game “Black” as it’s impossible to find online and really is quite impressive.
