Is it necrophilia if they're still moving though?

I hope you weren't drinking that mexican water as a chaser, I hear that's some nasty stuff! I was given a classical acoustic guitar a few weeks ago, strung it up with new nylon strings, very VERY spanish sounding. I had a teacher in school that played classical guitar, love the sound of it soloed like you've done here. Uh oh, I see El Muerto!

I like this version. I have some samples from a few movies that will work well setting the seance scene nicely. Is that knocking on the table I hear? I wonder if this medium is one that produces the ectoplasm snot stuff ;)

Very cool Joe. I love the minimalistic approach. Nice and dark, perfect for halloween 3:D> Some of the darkest music is very minimal, just enough to set the atmosphere. We'll do more shortly, seems like since July I haven't had any free time for music, covering my new bosses shifts, the slacker! Finally got a full sized acoustic guitar itching to be recorded and those 2 Altoid tin guitars needing recording, one's electric. :p Yaayy a new song to add to my player.

I love the additional depth that sounds, especially nature sounds, can add to a piece. Huge fan of adding ambience. We sure do need some rain here!! If I play enough of these rain songs maybe that will help ;) The title caught my attention because I just uploaded my own Rain tune the other night. Nice clean mix, keep up experimenting with sounds it's way too much fun and the possibilities are endless.

I love how the beat/music moves you along through the soundscape. I do believe a zombie apocalypse is a real possibility. Not the dead returning to life but maybe some infection, like rabies, that makes people go insane and behave like a zombie. Look at all the face eating incidents in the news lately!

\m/ FK YEAH!! \m/ Just my style!! I'm a guitarist/bassist fellow doom head, unfortunately bit too busy at the time for collabs but will definitely keep you in mind. My newest thing is working cigar box guitar into doom tunes. Did one yet to post. I have a 4 sting banjo yet to be recorded and a cigar box violin to be completed. I love how My Dying Bride incorporates alot of violin into their works. :p My vocals consist of spoken word or black metal style as I CANNOT sing! but I've learned to counter that with the use of soundscapes, immersing the listener into the tale of terror muhahaha I love your vox, definitely need to work together in the future 3:D> you know where to find my stuff (at least what's on here)I'm not so great with lyrics myself, I guess I overthink them. Deviant Internment is my doom project ( ineed to dust the cobwebs off of), drum loops and drum midi files since I don't have access to a drummer but all the guitar and bass is real and unedited. more please! \m/

The Victorian era is such a fascinating time. The music fits the story and makes me think of that one I did a few years ago Moonlight dance. Maybe this is the same ballroom for both tunes, just different times, in mine they're all ghosts ;) There was a really cool series on you tube about household killers in the victorian and Edwardian eras, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_x0JgAo2v8 It's a wonder anyone survived! What's the competition? Not sure I'll have time to do much of anything, just have soooo much going on :/ I do know cigar box guitars were around in the civil war era though B-D

I could share ghost, paranormal stories, experiences with you for hours!! Makes you question your own sanity. Did I really see that? Just accept there's phenomenon we will never explain. You actually wouldn't believe all the people that have similar stories. I love that you investigated it afterwards. Ghost, they say, cannot physically harm you so nothing to be afraid of, hahahaha easier said than done! One night I was working late, alone as always, at my town hall maintenance job when I heard footsteps upstairs in the police department. Of course I went up to check it out. Too bad the cop on duty was parked up the road a few blocks watching traffic! I know that because after I realized there was no one there and the footsteps continued I got the hell out of there.Yes, I had to come back for more :p Loving the western frontier spanish outlaw flavor this has. I can picture El Muerto roaming the desert with arrows sticking out of his mummified headless corpse, tattered ragged filthy clothing flapping as the black stallion gallops along. DId it work? Did the banditos get the message? Vlad Tepes (the real Dracula) once turned back a 100,000 strong Turkish army with 30,000 impaled turkish prisoners. They got the message quite clearly 3:D> More plz!! \m/ \m/ Time to watch a western. If it makes you feel any better I once saw a colonial woman float across my front lawn (where I still live) ;) She was like a hologram, but clear as day! Indians roamed this area at that time and there's a place not far away where there's a legend 2 guys were running from the Indians when they killed one and he's buried next to the stream at a rest stop called Snow Falls. There's also a Wal mart just up the road, supposedly built on an old indian burial ground. Enough rambling, western movie time.

Love reading the historical events that led to the birth of so many cool creepy legends. I'm more familiar with the Ickabog Crane and the headless horseman of massachussettes tale but have heard a similar one from Texas. Can you imagine what those who encountered EL Muerto must've thought of that decomposing headless thing on horseback! Music fits the tale well. \m/

Brother to the Leather Clad Monk :p What is that string instrument, the bass one? Sounds like a plucked cello. I like the synth sound that's kind of like throat singing. Recorded live at a monastary in the Himilayays, the same one I escaped to when running from the yeti after Orlando stopped singing to him!!

Listening to stuff like this, if doesn't give you whiplash first, will give you a neck the size of George Corpse grinder :p http://www.metalinjection.net/latest-news/cannibal-corpses-corpsegrinder-talks-about-his-massive-neck (in case you don't know who he is) I loved him with Monstrosity! Not so into the newer Cannibal Corpse stuff these days, the older stuff is fkn classic though! \m/ Now where's my neck brace, I know it put it over here somewhere....

Because of this song I felt inspired to make you guys (the looperman community) a few slide guitar loops to use and abuse B-) I'll get some more done up too.

One thing I love about your music is that it's completely unique! Immediately it's obvious who the artist is. Nothing to add, just keep doing your thing.

AAHHHH SUNDAY!! Shortest horror story, beginning of my work week! Nice clean mix, did you play the piano and slide guitar on a midi keyboard? Sounds good B-)

Definitely hear the sabbath/candlemass influence \m/ Love seeing more metal on here :p Some nice haunting vocals like Solitude Aeturnus would be the icing on the cake here!

I listened to this back the beginning of last month just as spring was starting. Feels like summer now! You sure captured the spring vibe and the new beginnings. HA! I knew that guitar was Ed before I read it! Awesome job guys, nailed it :D Now where's that waitress, I need more coffee.

Like the vocals, I'm going to have to check out those vocal packs. Very well arranged. I like monsters, there's no more under my bed or in my closet, I scared them all away 3:D>

I don't know why this wasn't already on my fav's list! Fk yeah!!! *holds up lighter* Just the stuff I grew up on. Yes, I still love my cheap guitars and now my homemade ones too B-D

She actually does :p Too funny LOL! :D

oooh My favorite stuff is dark and sinister muhahaha 3:D> I'm the devil's pussycat so I'll put in a good word for you. You know how we're always recruiting souls.

Legalizing drugs would take the power away from the dealers., but you know how our governments just love to tell us how to live our lives as if we can't make our own choices.... Marijuana was my drug of choice, have since given that up though in favor of music ;) Always good to experiment, that's how we grow. Did you do a line before this? It's upbeat enough LOL!

SLAYER!! \m/ 3:)> oh you're talking about a guitar vst ;) Ever listen to any black metal like Darkthrone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iaj2w7Bp58 That has a very cold sound to it. This does have a chilly feel. Hopefully sometime this century I'll get some guitar recorded for you. This must be outside high up on the mountain making our way to the fiery boss battle deep in the heart of the mountain.
