Okay, I've been a little bit down and depressed lately - can't play guitar with this stupid cyst, lost power for 5 days, holidays coming up (always get the holiday blues), so I need a boost. Yeah, I'm posting the latest numbers on downloads of my albums.
It's not like it actually means anything; it just makes me feel good that people like my music.
Here goes:
Bryson's Universe 4,222
Aetherial Art of Decay 3,541
Leprosia Doom 1,722
I Am Become Daevel 1,455
Dimaensia Nexus - Improvisations for the Ancients 816
Ugotllathath 733
End of an Era 727
1st iZ LaZt - The Daevellation Suite 588
Deus Fetor, Pt2 422
Loco-Motives 409
Cyberthief Strikes Again 126
Total: 14,761 downloads
Don't know why so few people have downloaded "Cyberthief". I actually like some of the tunes on that one. Some very weird covers. Very weird. And I think the production on it is actually pretty good, too. Oh well.
Well, the song titles are hyperlinks to get to the download pages, so go ahead and help yourselves.
I personally want to thank the 14,761 obviously mentally deranged people who have downloaded my albums. Please seek professional help. Really.

Ugotllathath - Download it NOW!!
POSTED!! Yup, it is now available at The Internet Archive, along with cover art in several audio formats (two types of mp3, and ogg vorbis).
This was just one of those projects I needed to get out of my system. I realize most "traditional metal-heads" may not like it at all; some may even hate it. But I don't listen to metal music alone. Back in the early nineties I pretty much stopped listening to most extreme metal and instead listened to a lot of experimental, avant-garde, free jazz improvisation, and jazz fusion. I also recently got into some of the drone metal bands like Sunn O))), Khanate, Nadja, and Jesu, which are really the biggest influences for this new album, along with the more traditional older black metal like Burzum, Darkthrone and Mayhem.
Here I am, just after turning 45 years old, still listening to this kind of music, creating my own twisted version of these genres, and still loving every second of it. Something must be seriously wrong with me.
Please, those of you who are also somewhat mentally damaged are invited to download this new garbage, re-post it at will at your own blogs and web-pages, and annoy your neighbors, family and friends by blasting it LOUD!!

Ugotllathath - The Sound of the End of the Universe
Is is done!! "Ugotllathath - The Sound of the End of the Universe" has been completed!
I finished recording all of the tracks, mixed them down (not ALL of them were done today - some here and there over the past few days, etc.), completed the cover artwork, converted the mp3 files for posting, and will begin to post the files ASAP. Be warned - this one is very experimental, a return to the more free-form, improvisational sound of "Aetherial Art of Decay" and "Improvisations for the Ancient Ones", combined with the sustaining drones of "Leprosia Doom".
There probably isn't a typical metal riff on the whole hour-long recording. And the solos that are there are very much based on free improv; not meant to be thought out at all. The whole point of the musical exercise is spontaneity and openness, while simultaneously being crushed by pure noise, feedback and sound.
I'm not really sure how most people will react to this one. In my own mind, it is just what I needed to get out of my system before attempting to tackle the very arranged music of my other upcoming new project. I really needed to just blast out some very fast blastbeats and loud guitars, and so on. I may also have another project coming focusing again on wild, out-of-control improvisational guitar, but it may be a short one, an EP, perhaps. And maybe more "ambient" synths (Phrozenlight, watch out!! - yeah right)
I will post the mp3's and various links within the next few days (hopefully). I'll be sure to let everyone know how to get 'em.
ThanX,

More is new, less is better, huh? - and ... Pentemple!!
Well, I got bored with the "1st iZ lazt" project - I'll get back to it very soon, - actually, I just hate playing guitar in hot weather - it's been 90+ and humid.
Started fiddling with programming some more ambient ideas again after listening to Sunn O))) "Presents ... Pentemple Live" - a beast of a live improvised recording from the Sunn O))) boys (Stephen O'Malley Gred Anderson, with Oren Ambarchi) with the insane Attila Csihar on vokillz once again, and this time around, Sin Nanna (of Australian solo lo-fi black metal project Striborg) on drums and vocals.
Similar to "The Black One" and "Altar", we've got incredibly loud sustaining down-tuned guitars, and bass just basically holding one chord and feeding back for about 40 minutes, Attila and Sin doing eerie chants and indecipherable screeches, and Sin providing some improvised blast-beats and other various drumming that may or may not have any particular tempo at any given time. Imagine Darkthrone jamming with Last Exit on LSD wearing Monks robes. But louder. A lot louder.
Actually, if you liked "The Black One", you may like this even better. A real amalgamation of drone-doom, free improvisation and black metal.
Which is why I started working on a new, kind of experimental project. Going back to my Leprosia Doom idea, but slowing it down, make it more repetitive and even darker (sometimes not, though). Simple blast-beats under droning, repetitive synths and sustaining guitars is the theme. Maybe. I got seven songs basically laid out with synths and drums. That's all I want. The rest will be live guitars and bass added afterward. This is really almost a combination of "Leprosia Doom" and "Aetherial Art of Decay". A return to improvisation and experimentation.
I will probably also do some separate orchestral snippets to use as segues between the drones, like "AAOD". Maybe some guitar solos, too.
Who knows. I may go back and make it "noisier". Some of the synth parts might even be too "melodic". We shall see, ...
