I’m pleased to announce the release of my 17th full-length Caustic Reverie album: Decadent Nemesis.
Caustic Reverie rereleases on Bandcamp
I’ve started going back and uploading some of my past albums to Bandcamp so that they will be available to download in flac or high-bitrate mp3s. Here are two from 2008 for starters:
Bringing it back
Greetings from obscurity!
I’ve been busy writing my first novel, recording a demo with Identity Collapse, working on the next Caustic Reverie release and contributing sounds and voice to the HL2 Mod No More Room In Hell.
The site was down for a bit without me noticing, and it took even longer for me to get a clean installation before I could go about restoring the backup. I’m kicking myself that my last site backup was way out of date, so I’m going through and rebuilding the pages for the Caustic Reverie discography.
Don’t fear the Reaper 64
I’ve been looking for a better way to record my guitar and bass-based music. FL studio is great for MIDI and VST instruments, but I don’t like how it records audio. Conversely, Audition is great for multitracking audio, but the system chokes if I try and feed it MIDI. I had dicked around in Abelton Lite yesterday after work to see if it was viable, but I didn’t like the interface and poor usage of monitor space. I was looking into running Pro Tools M-Powered on my Delta 1010LT, but M-Audio is still struggling with compatibility with a 64 bit system. Cubase 5 looked ideal in every way except for the pricetag. There had to be something that would fit my needs a bit better without breaking the bank.
Enter Reaper.
What surprised me most is the fact that the program fits in such a small package. The PDF documentation was about four times bigger than the five meg download for the installer. The program is sleek, uncluttered, and customizable.
Download it now and try it out, and if you like what you see, the licenses come as cheap as $60.00!
Rejected song titles
I’d like to share some rejected song titles for a piece I’m working on.
- Hesitant Word Oil
- Rawhide Lion Tots
- Loin Wad Theorist
- A Howled Introits
- Loathed Ion Wrist
I’ve fallen in love with the Internet Anagram Server from Wordsmith.org.
Metal fridge R.I.P.
My beer fridge finally gave up the ghost. I had a bunch more stickers to put on it but when it ended up out on the porch, I figured something like this was bound to happen. I had a Death sticker with the Sound of Perseverance album cover that faded to white and then completely fell off a few weeks before the malfunction.

I may or may not end up doing band sites for Caustic Reverie and Shufflebrain. I’m not sure if I like how bands are handled on FB.
