I've been toiling away with the facegrinder 8000 all this time.
This is so good.
The M8s FM synth is so cool but I've only scratched the surface of how it works through fumbling.

I was sensing some discomfort and then the arp came in and washed it away.

Really really happy with the second drop which ties together a few different ideas I've been toying with lately and is very intense.

well executed!

It's quite powerful when combined with the envelope/table possbilities and I too need to spend more time digging into it.. this one is really just only barely testing the water for me as I usually just ignore it in favour of the other onboard synths

Haha I wish I had that level of mastery but this is just a vocal sample from the old amiga sample disks absolutely crushed to hell hehehe

Trying to mess around with formant stuff and screams etc would be an interesting sound design challenge though for sure.

I feel like I'm playing hotline miami grinding for the last achievement. What a journey this track is.

Daaaamn, this is so coooollll!!! Shit, I really need to work on my (currently non-existent) fm skills, because this rules!
Did you build up a trove of cool fm sounds beforehand and then make this song when you felt you had enough, or did you kind of build things from scratch for this song specifically?
The melodies you hit in the second hand of the song are so damn good!
Very, very cool.

Holy shit that bitcrushed scream scared the hell out of me the first time.
Lovely work on the rising and falling tension throughout the song. Synths are growling and dirty, nasty in a very good way. That last part with the high lead after the DJF buildup feels huge. Slick work!

Damn that's horrifying. And totally accurate. Psychological damage is torment.

There are some tracks on here that you have to listen to, just on account of their names.  This one is great, especially once its firing on all cylinders.  Strong use of the shimmer verb, especially in the intro and outro

Big big tune. Carpenter synth-keys run through synthwave thumping and straight into crushed screams. The shimmer makes huge washes over menacing bass. And the high-passed rattlesnare synth line into the gothic outro lead is gorgeous. It's dark, absolutely. But with the Linndrum-y drums, the bounce in the keys riff, and square arps, there's joy in the dark.
