Due to some life issues around the time of the release, I had never gotten around to doing a proper post for my band’s previous album The Kindred Dark. Here’s a write-up with links to our videos, streaming and download sources, and the first review we’ve gotten so far.
The first single from the upcoming Sumptus Ignis EP The Kindred Dark is a song called MRK.
The new Caustic Reverie album comes out this Friday. Here’s one of the tracks, the companion piece to Charlière.
I’ve been playing electronic percussion almost as long as I’ve been drumming. I bought a set of Alesis DM10 electronic drums a few years back to replace my aging Yamaha e-drums. I was sold on the fact that Alesis had “real-feel” mylar heads that were tunable. Though the new pads had much more sensitivity and some decent sounds from the stock drum brain, I didn’t like the feel of playing them. The drumheads turned out to be louder than any rubber pads and were difficult to get stick bounce from while playing.
I recently upgraded the heads to mesh with a conversion kit from 682Drums. The upgrade was pretty quick and painless. Oh what a difference! The bounce is incredibly satisfying.
Here’s a clip of me playing along to one of the new Sumptus Ignis songs in production to test them out.
Video number three is in the bag. I’d been toying with the idea of making clips for every song in an album, and with the help of the visualizer audio objects in VSDC, I’ve managed 3/7 for No Remedy. Here’s the title track.
