i like the buildup, good beat.

It feels like the drums want to be from different genres. There are cool, ripping ones in the middle and slow ones at the end. It adds variety. I liked it. The only thing is that the percussion in the middle is very distracting. I think it's a bit unnecessary.

Holy. MF. Shyt. we're not worthy we're not worthy lol.

Simply awesome bro.

wow....what you didd here ?!
This is so cool.
the building up is great.
And i love the parts when its chill and then you start with the real thing.

Reminds me of Black Sabbath - v v good Kay

Chill af

Still completely masterful!!! I would have gone for Epic but that's been done previously lol. Tumeke.

Absolutely epic. And it made me realise I really should consider to work with tools like ezdrummer or superior drummer. Those drums make a YUGE difference over my standard Ableton packs.
I assume you can use them with midi, so I can still drum on my kit, then transform it in such a tool?
Anyway. Your track survived 6 years with ease. Congrats and happy new year!

This is epic - you portray devolvement thru evolvment so well - great instrumentation Kay

hell yea man! good job !

I should've known from the waveform image that you were about to blast us to Mars! Almost blew my ears off, man. But this is goodso good. Great work on those instruments. You rock

Hi there ValveD.....when you think of heavy metal music this is like the poster child to the genre....it's a great example of true heavy metal. Im more of a ambient chillout soft acoustic type person but on occasion it helps to listen to other genres just because. If you're inclined to do so......there's something unique in all forms. This track personified heavy metal and is well done.

Im not usually a fan of metal, but musically speaking, this absolutely rocks!

That's awesome, my friend. I have been listening to quite a bit of Ride the Lightning by Metallica lately. The Trio of " Ride the Lightning,"" For Whom the Bell Tolls," and "Fade to Black" is the optimal turning point for metal and such a groundbreaking trio of songs on an album that's only 46 minutes. and 8 songs.
You perfectly capture the dark underbelly of this genre. And you know I appreciate that Darkness you evoke. It is always a pleasure to listen to your work.

This is deep and dark, love it mate, even though I'm not generally a metalhead (though my 13 yr old son has discovered Metallica so I'm getting a lot of that at the moment - but it's good). There was a wind blowing through my head when that section started at 3.26, that was awesome. I'm sure I've heard the name Alan Watts, but don't really know what he was about. I did see this quote though which resonated - "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown". There's a similar Herman Hesse quote like that too (maybe from Steppenwolf), which I always remembered. Most men will not swim before they are able to. Is that not witty? Naturally, they won't swim! They are born for the solid earth, not for the water. And naturally they wont think. They are made for life, not for thought. Yes, and he who thinks, whats more, he who makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will drown.

One question that came to my mind was if you had created the music before or after listening to this choir, but you have already answered this, in one of your replies. So I will ask you, do you consider it possible that this hearing could have driven you to writing the music for Shapen In Wickedness? The question actually comes from the way that everything fits so right in your song as if one was made for the other and I mean your music and the choir singing.
Anyway, it is an excellent work with a powerful outcome especially for the admirers of this genre (I mean the darker mood of your composition)
Best wishes, Anthony

Again this is crazy!! i hope i can do something like this 1 day.

oh my god this is seriously the best thing i've heard in a long time.
I love it!!!
This is just amazing..what can i say more...heads off mister!!

Cool track, well done!

Awesome synth sounds, driving and dark.

the comment section is appalling on this site, quite frankly the restrictions are a stupid idea the place is a shambles everyone's give up on it the update is absolutely garbage it says 3000 for a reply i get the limit exceeds 1000 then underneath min3 max3000 WTF admin are shite and aren't interested there more interested in their sponsors than the people and artist that give them the money they make, all we get is a useless platform with pretty colours its about to die a death in my opinion

I divide music into two types: where the head moves up and down and where the head stands still. I refer this track to the first type

otherwise you fear for the rest of your days waiting for the clip to click, then bang, your done, breathless. like this piece, takes your breath away quality mix and transitions, great sound, the music is the selling point the vocal clip is a great placement and the choir is lit, it sounds great on both speaker and headset mate back to back listens, had me poppin and strobing bro top top job.

Aaron I'm not yet 4 years in, you have been a regular listen for me, you also linked me to your older tracks too, so i know exactly what to expect from you, i love the industrial and metal elements in your pieces always, add the electronic edge too, its your own distinct style, we are friends and you always compliment me when i add darkness to work, which i love and respect because you always add from the man who does nothing but dark :))) this isn't dark, this is death, you shot me six times in the track that hardy bitch popping off shots, a track off fear and menace, when the dark lord V speaks you listen,
