I have to ask LOL!! Is it necrophilia if they're still moving? Can Zombies get pregnant? I know in one of the Dawn of the dead movies a zombie gave birth but I think she was pregnant before becoming a zombie. I have never heard of zombies starving to death! Good question!! Do they go to the bathroom too? All that brain meat they eat, what happens to it? In world war Z they freeze solid when they go north into the frozen lands but thaw in the warmer summer months. Great questions!! We're f*kd!
They're getting way too smart!! Hide the women and children! Rotting Horde was just the Beginning of the madness! HAHAHA Good one Joe :D Did you see Dawn of the Dead where they start to learn? One gets a machine gun and starts to figure out how to use it. Thinking Zombies would be unstoppable! In world War Z (book) the U.S. army makes a stand and hits a horde with everything, artillery, airstrikes, small arms, you name it. The just keep coming, no fear! It's like they're walking into a meat grinder and it doesn't even phase them!
I wanted to sing to this nice blues track some cool vocals, and now
this a##hole who calls himself - the thinking zombie - was faster....... :)
Nice to read that you liked it.
Yeah, the moment when they start thinking, isn´t a good moment for humans :)
.....did you ever read any about zombies die for hunger?
I never heard any about it. So it looks like, they come (wherefrom dosen´t matter) and they stay dead alive for ever, until someone smashes there brain..... That must be almost the end of the evolution. Dead and alive for ever, with mind. Last step is sex and give birth to an already dead and alive zombiechild ...... oh god.....
Pleasant tune you made there my friend. I like the softness of it. our voice treatments are very seventies sounding (folk groups) which is perfect. I like the synth melody after the verses. Nice structuring. I would pull it out of Drum and bass and put it in folk music. yes the drums are a little D&B like but the overall feel of the song belongs in folk.
Good job
Steve
I had the same in my mind - folk - thats why i wrote "Drum and Chill Folk" but i believed that the first comment would be a - this isn´t folk, it has a d&b drumset - :)
"our voice treatments are very seventies sounding"
this is realy cool, ´cause you know that i am normaly more a 80´s child.
Nice to know that you like the song and this little synth melody.
Sweet, sweet composition...you're the man of musicality with soulfulness! I think you produce songs which firstly touch yourself and then the others...your feeling is incredible and there is an unexplicable magic so forcefully displayed in this song! One thing I don't want to forget to mention is that the vocal-like synth which comes in at 0:59 reminds me on
Aphrodite's Child song "Rain And Tears" but i believe that the similarity in tone is coincidental (already happend to me when I was making "Pax Europea" and then extended it into a tribute which was by no means in the original plan for the song)and I really love it!:) One thing you won't believe...I think I even prefer the bonus part...such calmness and purity of the message! Another great work from you my friend!:)
What a nice and gentle comment my friend. Makes me a bit getting red :) but sure also realy happy
I listen to the "Rain and Tears" song on youtube.
Found there a real cool old version. If not have already you must watch it.
Aphrodite's Child Rain And Tears Video & Audio Restored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQyxCL1uMlU
But i dont think that there is something similar in the synth line and there song. But the song is realy great :)
I can real understand that you prefer this pure bonus version. In a way is it the version i would love to hear, when i walk down maybe a beach and some people i dont know sit there and one of them play on a guitar and another starts singing ....... that would be cool, ´cause that means that this song had sucsess :) ... no :) just a joke - that would be cool cause it is the spirit of this song in a way.
Oh man I absolutely love this!
I've never got a bloody clue what your singing about Joe but it never seems to matter.
I love your voice.
It has a magical quality.
I love this track from start to finish and straight in the faves.
Perfection.
Since I'm on looperman, my musical range has greatly expanded.
But which is not surprising. Therefor looperman stands, right?
But as light and fluffy as it sounds, it was not the produce.
I do not know why but the notes of the melody to make me precisely is extremely difficult.
Therefore, I am pleased, of course, much that you like the result.
and that you like it so well that it has become a fav, is amazing.
I thank you, very much Mr. Silverman for your kind word
Don't know if its heavy enough to be considered Doom Metal maybe Doom Punk !
I dig the guitar track but wish there could have been more chord progression or a bridge. Great job on the vocals, really adds to the sinister or macabre element.
I think it is more Dark Gloom Rock but i am not good in genres and i am really not into Rock and or Mestal at all :)
Last metal concert i enjoyed was somewhat around 1984 with
Corn and Ozzy and Iron Maiden and two others. They played in a big sports hall on two stages, so it was almost 7 hours in one go :)
Almost enough for a life time
This track wasn´t planed in any way, so i had no influence on the music at all. I just grab Phatkatz track and start working a bit on it. Maybe there is not much progression but i feel like it fits good to the overall feeling of the track. A little solo could be intressting but thats Phatkatz work :)
Thanks for your kind words. I bet Burt enjoys your "avant garde" same then me
This is quite awesome! Your vocal work is done very well, and fits the tone of the music. I enjoyed reading the lyrics, and I couldn't help but think of my wish for the older inhabitants of the earth, who are hanging on by a pharmaceutical thread, to move on and let us build a better world. Maybe not what you intended, but it speaks to me all the same. This reminds me a bit of the garage band era around this town I still reside in. Teenagers having an amazing time opening for touring bands in a little ghetto club which no longer exists. Angst and focus. Leaving the stage and then moshing to the rest of the bands til late in the night. Thank you for reminding me. Fave!
You are not realy far from what i had in mind when i wrote the lyrics! Sure they fit to this little piece of music and in this case they are just good for the "movie" that Phatkatz has in his mind. (but i wrote them befor start working on this track really)
In fact i had in mind something like this:
All the bad, sad, unfriendly and terrible things around you, slowly destroy all the lights, what makes this world a fine place to be, like love and friendship, humanity, brotherhood and so on.
But here is a easy thing you could do. That every body could do. Just leave all this things behind and walk into a better world. With no anger or angst or fear, with no feeling of giving anything back. Only witht the feeling of doing it right in the way it has to be done. Giving in the way you wanna get........
So it ends with a - Come, we go ahead.
And if all would follow, the world would change :)
So this isn´t a real dark track. It sounds dark and deep in a way but i think it gives some hope
We had this youth clubs also in town. This was good times ........ but now mostly all gone ...... just one of the lights that already be killed .... time to enlighten it again :)
Thanks for your nice comment. I really enjoyed all your the words.
This is not heavy metal, there are no heavy guitar riff's on this and no screaming!!
I could hear only a spooky voice :D
But creepy in a way. I liked the drums. The electric guitar really gives it a spooky haunted effect.
It sounds somewhat down. Good work though :)
the heavy guitar riffs and the terrible, wild, screaming vocals were recorded by the crew below deck and without light. Unfortunately, you can barely hear it. :)
if it is a genre "spooky metal" or something like "dark rock" I would have taken one of them
Phatkatz will be excited about your words to his guitar playing/sound
Nice to hear that you liked it. I really enoyed your comment
I like the waves in the opening, It's like we just stepped onto the Island of Dr. Moreau. Do you want to be shot like a zombie again? I have a boiling death that needs to be put to use :p It's painless hahahaha Joe gets shipwrecked and swims to the closest Island only to find it's inhabited by cannibals. What's for dinner? Joe is :D One of my biggest hold ups has been the drums on this! I'm not that good at programming beats so I use alot of premade midi ones, then I'll edit them if needed. Since you redid the drums I'll re record the guitar and bass so we can do a proper mix :D I'll send you wav files of those. Probably be sometime next week. I'm going to be really busy the next couple days.
There is someone on this ship on his way into his own darkness ..... he felt into sleep and a nightmare is on the way ..... In his darkest dreams he found a helping hand and a voice told him that he could leave the nightmare ...... he slowly awakes and have a look around ...... he saw that he hit an island with his ship and that it will not go anywhere else ....... after a while he leaves the ship and goes into the jungle near the beach ....... Dr Moreau already waits for him .... the real nightmare still waits around the corner ....
Don´t worry about time. Record whenever you have the time or the right feeling to do so. In between i just do something different. Maybe another zombie one :) ? or this blues one, or a zombie blues maybe ......
This drums are realy nothing special. First I just used a standart robota beat and cut it abit and place it under the track, and let the fills away. Then i cut a standart fill and mixed it again with the drums under the track and look that i have almost same power on the new drums then the one in your track. So all what makes this beat sound cool is more the original drum line with your fills and extra sounds.
PM me when you have recored anything. I will send you a link to the stems.
Dark. Agree with the others, voice is creepy. Not really a stranger to dark things so I really like the vibes on this one. 2:03 tom sounds a little muffled but not a major deal. Guitar is pretty low and ominous and the drums has a nice pace. Great work. Dangerous.
The drum thing is one of the harder thing here to work on. I already taked some "new" ones over the track from Phatkatz but i left the fills. Hadn´t the time to try to make the same fills by myself so i used the org ones :) The thing is that i work only with a mp3 with guitars and drums included. So all i can do is let the guitars sound good and at the same time let the fills not sound to bad at all :) still trying to find a better level on that.
Right now i added a cello like synth and working on a more centered "lead" vocal. After that, the drums are on the list :)
I whish I had better awareness to what is really happening on the looperman track section currently but my attention is very selective now.
to me this piece is really dark coloured - very unlike from all of what I could hear from you last time. Probably it is too heavy even as I prefer lighter sounds - I am still searching for the proper convention here haha.
hey joe i really enjoyed listening to this i have a mild form of aspergers and most of the time its not noticed in my day to day life but im aware of my almost rain man like obsession for things that i like
anyhows very kool track and balanced in all the right places imo
Love that you're working with this old track, and what you've with it!! :D Does it really need to be re recorded now? You got is sounding pretty damn good :p I have another old dark one, Doom(not posted), that was actually the first one I recorded with DAW if you're interested in doing a similar treatment :D I do need to re record that one, be alot easier to work out the drums for that, than this one. I bought a video loop for making a video for Doom, but never got around to it. Also for this I have a clip from Dr.Tarr's Torture dungeon (Poe movie) that may work well in the opening. Love that ocean sound hahaha I was thinking this song would come before Doom like the beginning of the adventure. The movie is about an asylum, in the forest, where the patients have taken over imprisoning the Dr (Dr.Tarr) and staff. The clip i was thinking of "You will enter this dungeon. Let the shadows watch over you as you sleep. (laughing)" Doom song feels like passing through the halls of an old castle. Here's the movie. It;s public domain so it's ok to use clips :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqtxVBFixa0
Nice to see that you didn´t shoot me like a zombie for this one
I will play around just a little bit with this one until i lost fun OR until i think it is a real great one and THEN i will ask you for the wav file, cause i just used that centraldev mastering try. so mp3 from a mp3 to mp3 .... but you are right it dosen´t sound bad for that.
Let me know when you will start on your doom project and need some vocals or else :)
Hey man cool track, but I think that the vocals could have been projected more clearly, because I can't understand a word they are saying lol. But I really like the vintage/80's shock metal vibes I'm getting from this one! Loving the flanger on the guitar, adds some pretty sinister feel to the background of the track.
Unique zu sein ist das Ziel schlechthin. Ich habe immer irgendwie versucht einfach mein Ding zu machen. Mitlerweile weiss ich auch warum :) die Dinge der anderen passen irgendwie nie so wirklich zu mir.
Schön zu hören das dir das Lied gefällt und das du der Meinung bist das die Musik zur Botschaft passt
