So I haven't told a whole bunch of people about this, but I'm writing an album of stoner rock/metal music.
I don't have a band, so I've written, played, and sang everything, and the drums I programmed. This is a sample of what I've got so far. Keep in mind they're still demos really.

Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I've never sang anything until this project.

Essentially a self-bump, but I've more or less finished the album.

https://tindeck.com/listen/chfn this is the opening track called Tidal Serenade. If there's good reception I'll put more or the rest up.

9 tracks total

https://tindeck.com/users/elscardo here's where I've been posting them all

There are 5 so far, and I'm doing 1/day for the next 4 days.

Hope you enjoy! Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated in any aspect of the project

The "stoner metal" description made me think I was going to hear something akin to Black Sabbath's Master of Reality.

This doesn't sound anything like that! I'm listening to Tidal Serenade right now, I really like the note choices you made here. The dissonance makes it pretty dark sounding.

EDIT: Cthulhu Rises sounds like Master of Reality though. So I guess your description fits more there.

Yeah haha it bounces around a bit. I couldn't quite write riffs like Iommi. It's pretty stoner/doom though I think?

It could definitely fall under that category. The vocals on Cthulhu Rises reminds me of Electric Funeral and Hand of Doom.

EDIT: Just noticed it's played on a C#-tuned guitar, if I'm correct? That's fucking Sabbath.

haha yeah it totally is. I initially wrote it all in C, but then changed strings and decided to try C# instead and I liked it better

Hey man, I'm definitely digging this! I'm listening to your album right now, on #2 Cthulhu Rises, and I'm seriously feeling this!

You're doing a great job singing, and fits in smoothly with the huge pummeling guitars. There are some really sick ideas and riffs in here, and I don't say that too often, trust me!

Keep it up man!

Thanks man! Means a lot!

This is fucking awesome man, I want to send this into Decibel for them to drool over!

That would be pretty hilarious, if you have a hookup there. Other than that I don't really know what to do with the material.

I don't currently have a band or anything.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2012, 11:12:00 PM »

I don't

But they're always taking in submissions, hell even Metalsucks is, and if they like it they mention it. That's one of my goals as an aspiring musician, to be mentioned in Decibel, even for just a short paragraph.

Super Dude · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2012, 05:52:53 AM »

Is Bruce Campbell gonna be part of your live band?

fps · « **Reply #15 on:** October 14, 2012, 09:42:16 AM »

C# is definitely the best bottom note for all rock and metal, cos that's what my band uses! I'm listening to Tidal Serenade, this sure ain't stoner doom (anything with those words in the title will make me listen) but it is very enjoyable, and clearly although it's with a drum machine etc it's been made with a lot of care and skill. Gonna listen through I think, digging it.

Thank you! I appreciate your comments and taking the time to listen. I guess I considered it stoner metal because almost all of the influences to write the music were sludge and stoner.

Great stuff, thanks for bumping this fps! I don't really like the vocals that much, but other than that, it was a very enjoyable listen.

Is there an album name and album art? If there is, I'll add it to my library, but I'm kinda anal about stuff like that, so that's a must. Otherwise it'll collect e-dust in my folder of music that I haven't added to my library yet.

Scard · « **Reply #18 on:** October 14, 2012, 02:33:16 PM »

The Album name and Artist are both Necronomicron. As far as art, I'll come up with somethin...

Works for me.

Bump because this is fucking awesome. I'm not completely sold on the vocals, but whenever it's instrumental, it's amazing. Tidal Serenade =

I understand 100%. It was my first time doing vocals for ANYTHING. Like, next to no practice because I didn't really know how. Thanks so much for your comments, though. I'm mostly an instrumentalist, and complimenting that makes me feel great!
