on Onward Toward Golgotha by ValveDriver
Absolutely welcome back mr

dear god, this is a monster horror underground with zombie faces and brutal metalheadz, though there is no guitar anywhere...apocalypse...0.55 that is a f...ing heavy synth riff for the beginners...it has to be like this...
attack, monstrosity, elements, paint and the number 1. picture looking down for us, poor servants...

I survived this and hope we get more cause we need pain...:-)

but this is a beautiful pain...

welcome back Master

handshake, Danke

Danke, thank you for your kind words!

This is a brutal piece, indeed! I likw how you described it! It is kind of an underground apocalyptic survival sound.

I will be back with the pain! Life is beginning to return to a normal pace. So I should be able to focus more on music again.

Thank you again, brother. It's good to be back.

Take care.

The title made me think of Incantation's Onward to golgotha album. Definitely as brutal and dark \m/ Good to see you hanging around again. We can always use more dark tunes!

ValveDriver replied 25th Feb 2017 - 9 years ago
Burt, how are ya?

I've been a diehard metal fan across nearly all sub-genres since about 1985. Oddly enough, I've never listened to Incantation. Not by any choice, it just never happened. I may have change that!

More dark tunes to come!

Take care

Well finally i've found someone who genuinely makes dubstep great again. i totally dig your darkness man, its the same kinda vibe i try to put into almost all of my d&b tracks. Anyways, i know youve heard it a million times already but great work, keep it up, i hope to hear alot more like this in the future...
Peace

Swindla, what's happnin?

Thanks for the kind words. If you dig the darker side of music, you should check out the rest of my work. Darkness is kind of "my thing." As far as making dubstep great again, that's a pretty big compliment. It's not really my preferred genre, but I really like to incorporate dubstep elements into what I do.
I'm sure you'll hear more in the future.

Take care.

Might just be me, but i feel this track has like a spooky melody or halloween melody or what you want to call it.

Love the bass also.

Ha! Thanks man. I checked out some of your work the other night. I was impressed. You're definitely on your way to making some really good music! I'll swing by when I have more time to concentrate, and leave some comments, suggestions, and pointers for you.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. It's always appreciated!

Take care.

that is a great effect at the end - the sustained voice against those hard synth hits. very effective. all the sounds blend into something very rich and exotic. it was quite a ride. def will listen to this again. Dan

Woah, what a great sound! You've created a very rich and rewarding track that I had to listen to more than once. You've clearly worked hard to get the sound you want and it's paid off. So congratulations and thank you for sharing.

I love this track, there are so many good things going on. The main thing I like about it is because it merges several types of music, I like that. I myself try to marry Hiphop/trip with blues and rock based elements, so I "get it". You did a great job, this is really good!!!

Orlando, how are you? Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for the kind words. It's good to know it kept you focused. That's actually something I worry about with my tracks. That they get boring or too repetitive. So, usefull feedback from you, sir!

Thank you, again.
Take care.

This is some great music. Your music and its depth astounds me. There were some parts where the guitar sounded a bit hard on the high-mids but overall, a great track! I'm glad I came across this one :)

Brado, thanks for listening and commenting.

I'm glad you liked this one. Thanks for bringing the mids to my attention. I'll get back in there and tweak them a bit.

Take care.

Liked the electric guitar there XD
the track also feels like you're on the land of the arabs because of the vocals.
I like it and keep it up XD

Love the pella! Music fits with it perfectly! What a ride. Do you rust in the shower? being so metal and all... ;) I love metal with that 'world' sound to it, like folk metal. Hope you got more like this coming. I got a celtic loop pack been hoping to work into some metal tunes. Check out Dalariada. Ever seen accordian, oud, fiddles used in metal? HAhaha! If I remember right you use vst guitar, that sounds so real could've fooled me and I play guitar! Good to have your music back to enjoy :D Hope life's treating you better now.

ValveDriver replied 22nd Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
PK, what's up, man? Sorry for the super late reply. Life's been a whirlwind!

Folk metal us freakin' awesome...if it's done well. Admittedly, I haven't delved too deeply into the genre, but that which I've heard is pretty damned cool. I will definitely check out Dalariada. I'm always up for finding new music! Thanks for the suggestion!

I do use VST guitar. I had bought a Warlock with the intent to learn, and use, but the Ex had other plans. However, I'm coming up on a possible replacement for it, now that the smoke is starting to clear.

Thanks for the kindness, my friend. As always, it's appreciated.

Take care.
Aaron.

Well, that was interesting! Longer than I expected! I'm trying to think of things to say, and I'm having trouble... maybe I've used too many words already today. I suppose that honesty is the best policy though. I found the combination of the vocal stylings and the metal influenced music to remind me of my least favorite time in pop culture, which is pretty much 1997-1999. This may be partly the stripper music influence though... which is totally not my scene. I suppose one thing I can say is that the mix sounds very cool. I think there are aspects in this song which I could enjoy more deeply, if it weren't for the surface which is hard for me to get past. Really any negative stuff in here is not about your artistry, but about the distance between this and my preferences, so please don't take it wrong at all. I know that you know what you are doing, and I want you to keep on doing it!

ValveDriver replied 26th Nov 2015 - 10 years ago
What's happnin' Spiv?

Stripper music isn't necessarily my scene either. But a friend who used to be one wanted me to make a track just for her so she could work it into a private routine for her husband. Lucky summbitch right there!

I don't take it wrong at all, mister. I wouldn't go so far as to say I know what I'm doing, as much as I'm learning along the way. But, I suppose that applies to all aspects of life, doesn't it?

Thanks for the listen, and the comment. Your feedback is always appreciated. No matter what you say. And yes, honesty IS the best policy!

I hope you're having a good Thanksgiving....if you do that sort of thing.

Take care, man.

Aaron.
