I think it was just a matter of time that this new djent-pop band had it's own thread. I know David has it's own thread here, but it's been really inactive and just a few guys here know his stuff, so I propose this thread shall be both for his solo stuff and for his band.
I will start saying I might be his biggest fan ever, because I have all his stuff on my top 50 and, well, love everything he has released. Now he's working on Bilo 4.0, and the thing is that I don't know how will he manage to even top 3.0. I mean, that album is insane, as all his stuff, but there's no way he will ever make something as great as that. Let's see if he can shut me the fuck up next year :biggrin: .
So guys, what do you think of this female-fronted band?
-
I love Destiny Potato. I just wish I could get a cd of their album.
-
I like 'em. I need to listen to their album more. I remember my favourites being Lunatic and House of Lies, but I liked everything a lot.
Re-listening now. Man I forgot how good The Build Up was.
-
Destiny Potato is frikkin awesome.
-
Too.Much.Ddjent. :omg:

HOLY SHIT WHAT SINCE WHEN HAVE SIKTH BEEN ACTIVE AGAIN
-
dude I had the exact same reaction :lol
Apparently since 2013.

Potatoes!!
Thank you for 50K views on our D.I.Y. Lyric Video for 'Love Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TbmPPNQD5s)'!! :heart
We'll start working on our first professional/official video in October, so keep your fingers crossed for a good one!! :)
Potate!! :heart
I read they just invested little money on making the video for Love Song, and it looks damn good. What song do you think they'll choose? Either Take a Picture, Lunatic or Addict are amazing for some crazy music videos.
-
I'd say Lunatic. I love that breakdown, it's perfect.
-
The guys performing at EuroBlast X. Sick!

From David's FB status:
I am currently working on a new song that NEEDS to be heavy, dark and complex as fuck. The problem is… I don't really feel like making anything complex atm, but for the sake of song's theme it really needs to be overcomplicated and stupid. I hate it… from the bottom of my heart I hate this fucking song… but it's not far from being finished ;D
It sounds awesome tho, I'm really happy how the mix/master works on this one!! :smiley:
The song is complex not because I want it to be, but because music itself wants to be complex, dark and heavy. Sometimes you just have to let the music speak for itself, let the music make the statement. I might hate this song from the bottom of my heart because I find it hard to articulate as I am in a pretty happy place with my life right now. But my 'EGO' is slowly becoming addicted to this song and it starts to enjoy it :heart
New concept release - early 2015
BILO 4.0 - late 2015
love! :heart
*hype intensifies*
-
From David's FB page:
It's been 1 years since the release of 'BILO 3.0' ;D
So many awesome things happened since I started BILO series, and when I think that 'BILO 4.0' is gong to be the last one in the series, makes me pretty nostalgic. But there's a new chapter waiting for me after I finish with this wonderful journey I started in 2011 ;D
With that being said, I've been working on a new concept release I'll be able to announce really soon, and soon after that I will continue working on BILO 4.0 which will be out in November 2015 if not sooner! :) Thank you everyone for the amazing support,
It's always going to be MUSIC FOR THE SAKE OF MUSIC!!
fab! :heart
I really love Bilo 3.0 (it made my top 10 :P ) and the hype couldn't be higher for me. I just hope he finds the time to start with the next Destiny Potato album.
-
I'm glad he's doing so much stuff because the majority of it is great but I think he needs to focus on one thing or another soon. He's far less recognized as he should be and it might benefit if he were to put more focus on one project or another. His solo work is excellent but it's all been in EP form and Destiny Potato hung in limbo for a long while and kind of fell apart before it could get a proper release (it was pretty much done and then one of the female singers left and they went back in and re-recorded stuff).
Just seems scattered a bit. Hoping the best for the guy cause I think he's an exceptional artist and I imagine I'll love the next batch of work as much as the rest.
Check this artist and band out if you haven't folks, great stuff!~
-
Yeah, I think he's just focusing on his solo stuff by now, while giving some gigs from time to time. His concept project and Bilo 4.0 are my most expected albums for next year, along with new Wilson and Haken. Here's an interview he did, talking about Destiny Potato (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC6SX54IupU) and other stuff. I really hope he gets time to start with a new DP album, as him and Alex have lots of talent.

David performing songs from his Bilo project? :eek
-
Will we finally hear Daydreamers.
-
A bit late for this, but they have released a live in studio video of Indifferent.
Destiny Potato | Indifferent | Live Studio Session: https://youtu.be/st2QSappg80
-
It looks like Aleksandra Djelmash is going to release her debut EP! And this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcMmUcsRJxs) is the first single - it's like a mix of pop with post-rock guitars, quite cool. So we'll have a new David solo album (not Bilo 4.0, but a conceptual work) and something from Alex this same year - the hype has started :dangerwillrobinson:
-
(https://f1.bcbits.com/img/a2095974671_10.jpg)
So his new EP, EGO is out right now both on streaming (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY-nwY7tbIg) and on sale on his bandcamp (https://davidmaximmicic.bandcamp.com/). I've just finished listening to it, I'll just say this: :hefdaddy
-
I like EGO more and more each time I listen to it. It flows so good that it sounds like one single 20-minute epic.
I'm checking out the other EPs too. Cool stuff all around.
-
Yeah, EGO was pretty great. A really fun listen.
-
Just popped into my FB feed that his next ep will go live on Aug 16, called Eco. Some interesting guest stars with Haken guitarist Richard Henshal and Omega Experiment vocalist Dan Weiten.
https://www.itdjents.com/news/news-david-maxim-micic-announces-release-date-for-eco/ (https://www.itdjents.com/news/news-david-maxim-micic-announces-release-date-for-eco/)
-
And FUCKING PLINI. David's a superstar now.
-
ECO came out today.
Wow, once again a great album. More ambient/electronic music oriented than the other releases, it feels different and definitely more peaceful than EGO.
-
Oh definitely, and I think David nailed the concept of these two releases: the dark, heavy EGO, and the light, melodic ECO. So from now on I'll listen to both in one sit. David hasn't disappointed yet :hefdaddy
-
I listened to ECO yesterday. It's awesome!
-
ECO came out today.
Wow, once again a great album. More ambient/electronic music oriented than the other releases, it feels different and definitely more peaceful than EGO.
Oooo....I think I'll love it a lot.
-
gonna give this a listen, and I do need to listen to his previous stuff some more too :lol
-
Good music on ECO, but I'm a bit thrown off by the vocals. The guy on Satellite has that metal singer sound I just don't like at all, and the girl who sang The Flock was just weird. The chick on Stardust was good though.
-
I don't have a problem with the vocalists, but I have to say that the vocal melodies just aren't as good as in Destiny Potato. Although there's some good stuff in Stardust.
Still, the music on both EPs is really good.
-
Listening to Destiny Potato for the first time now. Oh my god, those vocals are amazing.
-
Yeah, David and Alex have a great ear for catchy vocal lines. And the ones on ECO were written by their respective singers, that's why they might not be that great.
-
Yeah, David and Alex have a great ear for catchy vocal lines. And the ones on ECO were written by their respective singers, that's why they might not be that great.
Makes sense. Yeah the melodies in Destiny Potato are absurdly catchy!
The guest solos on the EP from Hen and Plini are really awesome.
-
Yeah, as I figured.
This is an awesome album. 500 seconds Before Sunset is just pure chill.
-
Glad to see more catching onto David's material! :tup
Out of the two most recent releases Ego and Eco, I think I prefer Eco at the moment. Of course that could change easily. As always with me, I would have liked to see him inject a little more guitar into these newer releases but I get what he was going for. I just think it's obvious his thing is guitar but he's a great composer and I know that he likely wants to kind of showcase that too.
-
Glad to see more catching onto David's material! :tup
I like to think I'm partially responsible for that, at least around here :lol . By the way...
(https://i58.tinypic.com/2iqzkg7.jpg)
:caffeine:
-
Hell yeah.
Also, waiting for a physical release date of Lun in Europe :metal
-
Bumped because of poll.
-
I went with Bilo 3.0. Just because Daydreamers is a badass song I would like to hear live.
-
Voted EGO & ECO, partly because it's the album(s) I know best, but also because they have Develop, 500 Seconds Before Sunset, and Stardust, three tracks I think are amazing.
-
I haven't heard the Bilo records yet - what are they like?
Ego and Eco are good, but Lun is vastly superior to those.
-
Bilo 3.0 is my favourite release of his so far.
Edit: Ah, there's a poll and it seems like I'm not the only one to think so.
-
1. Bilo 3.0
2. EGO & ECO
3. Lun
4. Bilo 2.0
5. Bilo 1.0
Literally every release is better. Except that he has outdone himself with Bilo 3.0, and EGO & ECO are just under that.
-
I haven't heard the Bilo records yet - what are they like?
Kind of though to describe - just check Bilo 3.0 and you'll get it ;)
-
Since today is the second anniversary of Bilo 3.0, David is giving it away on his Bandcamp page (https://davidmaximmicic.bandcamp.com/album/bilo-30) for the next 24 hours. If you don't have it, go and grab this masterpiece.
-
screw off i want to pay money for my music :lol
but no seriously around christmas or so i'm just gonna get all the mp3-exclusive releases i really want and this is one of them to get so
-
Done. Thanks for the heads up. :tup
-
(https://i66.tinypic.com/33jmrcz.jpg)
In the weird case you don't have them already, go get them :P
-
oh man okay i am so on this though
oh it doesn't have the destiny potato album though too, that's a shame :lol
-
I'm not totally in love with him yet, but that deal was too good to pass up. Got them all.
-
Just give it some time :P
-
Will consider this the next day or two, after all I got Bilo 2.0 for free from him, and while I wasn't blown away, it's pretty good.
-
Bilo 2 and 3 are awesome. The others are all decent too.
-
I only had 3 before now. I wasn't head over heels about it (I didn't particularly like the aggressive female vocals, namely), but I liked it. Especially Wrinkle Maze and Daydreamers.
I view this as getting Ego and Eco, which I was probably going to get anyway, plus two bonus ones.
-
So his discography is again available for $10.85, but now the offer will last for 2 weeks :P
-
So Alex has just announced the release date for her debut EP - reminder she released a single (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcMmUcsRJxs) last year, and it sounds promising.
(https://i65.tinypic.com/23t5ovl.jpg)
(https://i67.tinypic.com/1zduc1e.jpg)
-
I had not heard the single before, but I'm not minding it at all.
-
Yeah it's nice, but I hope the rest of the EP to be better.
-
i'm so mad you have ego and eco as the same poll option because eco is my favorite and ego is my least favorite :sadpanda:
-
You know... the first two Bilos are EPs, and so are EGO and ECO so I guess there's no use having them together, thus I've restarted the poll :tup
By the way, fucking hyped for new Destiny Potato, and possible Bilo 4.0 later this year :caffeine:
-
Voted for ECO. :heart
-
ECO is longer than either of Bilo 1.0 or 2.0 too, so :lol
i need to get lun at some point but physical copies of it might exist but are also super rare if they actually do (i've seen listings but they're pricy and may not be real, don't know)
buying digital albums makes me anti-hyped though, i hope he starts releasing more physical discs :lol
-
IIRC Lun was released on physical format in Japan, so I guess it's just a matter of time before they release it on this side of the Pacific ocean.
-
i'll hold out hope then
-
Alex has released a preview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKfxZg_RJmo) of her debut EP, sounds pretty good and promising - pop and atmospheric, with some djent-y influences.
-
:caffeine:
-
Not that exciting to be honest based on the preview. I'm much more hyped for the Destiny Potato LP. :hefdaddy
-
Another single (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApVOhMZT208), and this sounds quite better than the previous one! :o
-
Yeah this is sounding good.
-
Another single (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApVOhMZT208), and this sounds quite better than the previous one! :o
Cool track, thanks for posting!
-
David has put up a two-track release on Bandcamp (https://davidmaximmicic.bandcamp.com/album/the-stock-challenge-vol-1). The sound is quite different though, it seems this is an experiment where he limits himself to only using stock software and cheap recording components.
-
Those two songs are amazing. Wallflower has a chaotic energy, while Melancholia is nice and somber. I love the latter's calm electronic ambience.
-

Or get them on torrent for free :neverusethis:
jk, support the amazing artist

Apparently DMM is in a band called Organized Chaos with also Vladimir Lalic who has sung on his music before, and Benjamin Lechuga :omg: :omg: Looking forward.
Also here is the song they just released titled "Cinnamon", haven't heard it myself yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvw-kI1TJmY
-
Might be alright, not completely sold on that song though.
-
no one else gonna comment how DMM released his new album today??? https://davidmaximmicic.bandcamp.com/
-
I was but something came up. Sitting down to listen to it now.
-
Hype! Will listen this afternoon.
-
Cool!
I thought Eco and Ego were a step down from Bilo 2 & 3, but I think quite a bit of that was the vocal melodies which I think each vocalist he works with writes. So hoping for some great stuff on this new one!
-
I'm not sure I'm going to check it out. Apart from Destiny Potato which I love David's music kinda bores me in the same way Plini's music does. No idea why really.
-
Did my usual ritual when an artist or band drops a new album. Bought an energy drink (I don't drink soda or energy drinks anymore so that's like a special occasion by now) and went down to a really nice spot by the sea in my town, watched the sunset and listened to the album.
I loved it. Very emotional, really groovy, and full of awesome moments. The only negative I have currently is that there doesn't seem to be any physical copies available. I would love that vinyl on my shelf. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
-
DMM's whole back catalogue is on sale for $9.40 on Bandcamp as a black Friday deal. Absolute bargain for anyone wanting to purchase his stuff. It's only at that price today apparently.
