Description : EDIT #2: At this point I've changed so much, there's no point in listing them all. Take this as a lesson, kids. Don't get in a hurry to finish! Any and all critiques are welcome. Encouraged even!

What we have here is an early 90s, Ministry/White Zombie style industrial metal track. Because, you know what? I like that. Hopefully you do too!

Aaron I trust your Christmas was good as well. But how could it not be with a Doberman puppy. The track I tagged you in I did a few years back and wanted to do some touching up. I'll post a link.

I really miss Manuela with True Sisters. She posted a comment on a track I did a while ago when I told her I was self taught. She hits me with a term "Autodidact" which means a deep, focused self education. So Aaron welcome to the fold! I call myself a "Knob Twister" I just twist knobs until it sounds good LOL! Stay safe.

Killer track Aaron. Everything sounds amazing, mix included. Didn't listed to ministry back in the day but maybe I should. I think I'll play my 14 year old son this track, I think he'll dig it. Cheers Zoot.

Zoot, how are ya, man? Well, I hope.
Thanks for the listen and the comment. I appreciate it.
Ministry has been on regular rotation in my playlists since about 1989. Even in my tracks where I'm not intentionally going for that vibe (like this one), they still show up in some way or another.
I'm flattered that you would think to show this to your son. I know you've said in the past that he's become quite the metal head. Let me know what he thought of it.
Take care, mister.
Aaron.

Aaron! Really? How you expect me to evaluate your track when listening I got STUCK IN THE GROOVE! HUH? Anyway I haven't heard the original take but this is packed with power. Me being a connoisseur for fine tweaking like you, I hear where you are going. The composition is spot on. My ears are zooming in on the saturation. I think if you play around with a multi-band saturator, you can pull out the mid band clarity without loosing the overall grit. Most admirable, your full on dedication for sound sculpting! That's what UP! Keep it rolling Aaron, this is hot.

Peace,
Mark

Mark, how's it goin' Mister? I hope your holiday was good, and just how you needed it to be.

First of all, thank you for not only listening, but listening deep enough to be able to leave some critique. That is absolutely crucial for improvement, and I don't think a lot of people here understand that.
Since I'm just a self-taught producer, I've kind of missed a lot of important tricks and tools. Moreover, the discipline to go find them. I looked into multiband saturation, and you absolutely correct. I'll work on getting that set up and played with. I don't think I'll re-re-reupload though. Just like "third time is the charm," so is "Third time is good enough" HA!
Anyhow, I listened to the track you posted for me to check out, but it was only once on my phone speaker, while trying to distract an 8 week old Doberman puppy from tearing down the tree. I had planned on coming back to check it out with the respect it deserved, but you had already changed it. None the less. I'm honored that you would do that for me, and I don't take the gesture lightly.
With much respect, Sir, do take care.
Aaron.

nice work V, i like the mix of industrial and metal, Pnnywze has done some too, its different but its great love the guitars, the bass is fire and the drums sit right in the middle, well heard but not screaming for the attention, the lead is the star, vox chops are great too, the echo is lit, the track is hard AF with a raw edge, theres a bit of grit to it, the outro was cool too bruv, sound and production is spot on, it rocked my speakers, a little different from you, you are usually the darkest of dark, good show Aaron i enjoyed my couple of listens

ValveDriver replied 26th Dec 2025 - 1 month ago
Dime, what's goin' on, my friend?
Thank you for taking the time to give this one a whirl. I'm glad you liked it. It is a little different, but not by too much. Especially when compared to my "A.I. Is Sex And Violence". There are a lot of similarities in these two.
True, I do like the darkest of the dark. But every now and then, man, you just gotta get up and rock the F out!
Take care, brother. I hope your Christmas was exactly how you needed it to be for you!

Thank you. Originally I was going for "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste" era Ministry vibes. But as usual, it kind of morphed into what IT wanted to be.
Thanks again for listening and commenting. I appreciate it greatly.
Take care.

It's overall feeling, but vocals had huge impact on that feeling for sure.
It instantly dragged me in, and my brain started creating scenes in my head.
Thats why it's cinematic to me. Something like Rammstein music.
Anyway, great job, I'm really digging that industrial sound from you.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 24th Dec 2025 - 1 month ago
Fair enough! Thanks for actually taking time to answer. I always enjoy back and forth in the comments.
I like the fact that it started creating scenes for you. It means I did an alright job at creating a piece with "feel" as opposed to just sound.
Thanks for getting back to me, Dan. I appreciate it!
Take care.

The bass sounds better in the mix now like its meant to be and the guitars but personally i would of left the bass that tad higher so it was leading but thats just my choice lol sounds perfect to me man good job :)
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 24th Dec 2025 - 1 month ago
I did readjust the bass. I didn't really bump it up at all, but I did clean the low-mids so it's not so muddy. Thank you for giving it a second go, and the suggestion!
Take care, Robin!

Thanks, Dan. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am curious though, I wonder what your interpretation of "cinematic" is. Especially in this case. I wonder if it's the vocal samples from cinema that gives you that feeling, or if the track itself somehow invokes a cinematic feel overall.
Either way, thank you again!
Take care.

So much vitality and movement in this - it reminds me f the Grand Prix theme tune 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac - (if you can find that track, listen from 3 mins 38 seconds in) Festive wishes from Kayos2

ValveDriver replied 21st Dec 2025 - 1 month ago
At first I was struggling to see how you were able to connect Fleetwod Mac to this track. That's just something I thought I'd never hear. Valvedriver and Fleetwood Mac in the same sentence. But after going back and listening to The Chain again, I can totally see where you're coming from. What a cool connection!
Thanks, Kay. I appreciate you swinging by and having a listen and a comment.
Take care.

Best wishes, Anthony

Anthony, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it! I made quite a few changes to this track since you listened to it. If you ever listen to it again, I'd love to hear any feedback you may have.
Thanks again.

Thanks, Robin. I appreciate it. If you're interested enough to check it out again, I went back and edited the whole track. Like I told Aaron, it's the same...just more.
Either way, thanks for listening and commenting. I appreciate it.

Im putting in a motion to revive this genre - Gravity kills, Ministry, Stabbing Westward....man i need to go listen to some S.W. like right now! What a great forgotten band!
Pnnywze
Pnnywze 20th Dec 2025 05:12 - 1 month ago
Dude....this definitely has the vibe you're going for. Ministry's album Filth Pig comes to mind, especially the bass-forward march of the first minute and a half or so, and the backgroud vox as well. Also reminds me of Gravity Kills, another of my favorites from that time period. I only wish it had more guitar lol. Youre 100% my favorite artist here on LM, No Contendre.

Check out Gravity Kills - Blame Remix from the Escape from LA soundtrack - youll see right away where im coming from

ValveDriver replied 21st Dec 2025 - 1 month ago
I discovered Ministry in 1989. Since then, I've been a die hard fan. They have a few that came out after FilthPig that I'm not real excited about. But I still love them just the same.
I did some (a lot of) rework on this track. In my opinion, it wasn't up to Valvedriver standards. Check it out again. It's the same...but more.
Take care, brother!

Raw early industrial vibe for sure, getting the revolting cocks ministry feels. Good job man.

ValveDriver replied 21st Dec 2025 - 1 month ago
They were both heavy influences. Thought I'd take a spin down that genre and see if I could do anything even remotely similar.
Thanks for listening and commenting. I appreciate it.

Notes:
Tempo:85

Description : My grandmother was from Belarus. She was the lone survivor of her family after the Waffen SS massacred everyone in her village during a retreat from the Red Army. She escaped soviet occupied Belarus & through a series of wranglings by the international red cross, found a family to adopt her in New Jersey in 1947. She was 14 years old then. She was the strongest person I ever knew & I miss her terribly. This song is for her.

Description : Not really 'industrial' although some aspects might fit with the genre...generally robots and stuff...hehe...and a hint of heavy metal is also there...:)

Description : I used Serum and Sylenth1 to create all the synths and basslines. It's not dubstep, and it's not Drum and Bass, but it's elements are heavily drawn from both to create an experimental industrial track in it's own class. It's heavy, aggressive, and driving. Either you will like it, or you won't. I don't think there will be an in-between. Take care. V.

Description : This song I started about 5-7 yrs ago with the opening guitar. I was recording a home produced LP with a friend and I was hoping to write some lyrics and record it at the time, but it sat on the sidelines for various reasons. The last 2-3 yrs yrs I've been chipping away at it.

Description : Dutch version of VTNights - Dancing with Floyd
Selected the same genre, Industrial.

The beat is the original track minus the vocals. Translated the original lyrics (German --> Dutch) and tried to make the result rhyme. As I couldn't recreate VTNights voice I created a 8 voice choir.

Enjoy.

17th Mar 2025 16:20 - 10 months ago
Description : Some more old industrial recorded in 2015 as a new remaster from today. The original title is "Tanzt du alleine" and tells the story of people dancing next to each other but feeling isolated. They should take their hands to get back connected. I found this great bass loop from Difourks and I took a bit from Steelyvibe here from Looperman to pimp it up a bit. Maybe you heard the guitar riff at the beginning before. Enjoy

Description : Another weird blending of genres I am working on. Track was all composed by myself using some sampling and an old 1983 Memphis Strat of which I am totally rusty on due to a serious left hand/wrist injury several years back.

Description : For those of you who haven't grabbed my new album "Labrynth Of Self" I'm putting up another one from it. This is the only thing on the album that I'd really call industrial, and it comes closest to my goal of creating something that Ohgr might do on one of his albums. It contains some very weird sounds that I don't specifically remember creating. Don't be shy with your critique, it's not the sort of music everyone likes. Thanks for listening friends!
