Happy Halloween everybody. wink

This goes _hard_ out of the gate. Drums are super snappy. When the keys come in, it kind of reminds me of that NIN cover of Dead Souls by Joy Division.

Downloading this. I would buy an album of this right now.

Oooooh love the bass with the Reznor-esque drums.  The high octave synth sounds so good and uplifting in contrast to the dark groove.  Like I'm driving thru the desert with a blinding sun in the distance.  Ohhh the flaring synth gives it that extra grit.  Hearing those lyrics in my head repeating over and over during the high octave synth smile  Excellent work!

This has a chuch-y feel to it. Super contemplative and meditative. But somehow, also super intense and in-your-face! Awesome tune all around!!!

My first thought was "these drums are craaazy!" Love how the other instruments were surprisingly chill/meditative and took the tone in a different direction than expected. I think I've said something similar before, but I really enjoy this kind of combination of calm and heaviness. Feel myself sinking into this one for sure smile

DANG, i was not ready for that one! super cool direction from you, lcb.
love the gating on those drums, and how all of these elements are playing off each other. will be coming back for more heart

love the gritty start and deep bass. The drums are sick. This whole thing is sick. Favoriting!

This is amazing. Drives hard but not aggressively. The overdrive on the whole song sounds fantastic. A NIN-sort of mood, but definitely your own thing. Great track!

I'm ready for the Skeletal New Age

Wow, thanks so much! I'd love to work more in this style, so maybe I'll take you up on that challenge when I can. wink
