yeah I've heard of him, hadn't really checked him out much.
@Ledgemund he did an album with Page Hamilition, one of the first inspirations I had as a kid. "Unsung" was the first song I tried to learn in 97, when I was 15 years old.
Really great stuff - similar to a more virtuosic Matthew Bower with more rhythmic anchoring (the guys from Gore).
The album he did with Page Hamilton is among his least interesting works, from what I've heard (I haven't listened to it yet). If you decide to investigate further, get a hold of
Koksofen or
Home.
I got into Helmet pretty late. I remember hearing one of their tracks from the dull post-
Meantime period on the radio when I was around 11. It was probably among the most boring "Metal" I'd ever heard, so I wrote them off completely a couple of years later when I was getting into AmRep, despite
Strap It On having a reputation as one of the best albums on the label. The same thing happened with Today Is the Day, whom I ignored because they always came up as an influence regarding Convergecore and the name reminded me of all the gay shit that everyone around me was listening to (Bring Me the Horizon, Bless the Fall, etc.) - it may have been good, in retrospect, to hold off on discovering them, because they came along at a very opportune time in my esthetic-intellectual development. I got a copy of
Strap It On only about a year ago and was struck by how good it was. That discrete, staccato barrage, overlaid with wailing noise, still sounds unique even after being copied from them endlessly.
Cumbeard Deathcamp already did that. along with 2 other acts that are too gay to name. I'm a red fascist, why would I even?
Nu-maletal faggots are very ready for displacement. All the gayest shit is proffered by aging nonentities with abortive internet projects and whatever small band of pozzed millennial acolytes that still swallow bourgeois PC dicta that are 30 years overdue for expiration.
yeah its supposed to be pretty raw. I also have shit equipment. shit music for shit people, scumbag metal, etc.
My equipment's pretty low-end too - this makes me inclined to get to work on something regardless. I might record some (very poor quality) guitar tracks on Audacity soon and send them over if I get the time. Been thinking I might try to compose some stuff.
