recorded a shoegaze/blackgaze cover of “need 2” by pinegrove!

i’m honestly really really happy with how it came out. to those of you with more experience, it may not sound very good, but i assure you, this is the best mix i have ever come out with. i’m so so happy!! everything was recorded and performed by me, save the drums and bass, which i programmed of course. i WOULD HAVE recorded real drums and bass if my bass hadn’t recently broke, and i live in an apartment where i can’t play my drum set. anyways, please let me know what you think!

P.S. there should be a “covers” flair!!

posted my logo a little bit ago, how’s the music?

i posted me and my buddy’s cold war analog radio themed black metal project in here a little while ago, and a lot of you had very helpful advice. now, how’s the music?

lows were feeling nasty today

song is kill or be killed - spite

does anyone else feel better with high some days, and better with lows other days? or some days i feel really good on both, or others i just feel off altogether. i’m sure there’s something i’m doing to cause it, i just need to figure it out 😭 as always feedback is welcome!

are we digging the logo? is it too intelligible?

pretty basic post, sorry guys. i’m just curious what anyone’s thoughts are on the logo. does it need more styling or anything?

u/coobie_doobie2 — 2 months ago

been playing for about a week now, i’m definitely feeling a lot better!

still working on being accurate while moving around, but i think i might actually be able to get pretty good at this game! the movement is really starting to make sense, and i’m getting tons more kills now that i know the maps a little better!

learning clean singing is SO beneficial for harsh vocals

learning how to belt, pitch control, etc. has been a major help for me in learning harsh vocals, i would highly recommend that anyone struggling put some time into it! as always, feedback is welcome!

second online game ever, got a double!

just got the game yesterday because i’ve been seeing clips online, and i thought it looked really fun. i was 100% right lmao, this game is so sick. i’m sure my movement isn’t very high level, but i feel like this wasn’t a bad double at all!

how to make your gutturals sound more like bricks

requested by u/NeuroEuphoria, i’m talking directly to him in the video, but this was the only way i could show it to him so you all get to hear my technique on extra brick-y gutturals. not gonna lie, i have no idea if any of this is helpful or not, or if i even made sense, so please lmk if i can answer any questions for you or anything. i’m no professional but i’ll try to help!

found in change drawer at work- worth bringing 2 dollars to exchange?

i don’t know much, but i think these might be kinda cool. what do yall think?

starting a numbers stations-themed black metal project!

what’re your thoughts on this so far? my buddy texted me with this idea a couple weeks ago, and we both though it was so neat, we got to work right away lmao. i drew the logo and he made this mock-up album cover, which really got me itching to make some music, so i went ahead and made this little instrumental real quick. all the instruments are programmed since i don’t have my guitar right now, but i still think it sounds pretty nice!

u/coobie_doobie2 — 2 months ago

FINALLY figured this one out, and it’s better than i hoped!!

i’m tellin you, this is a sound i’ve been chasing for like 2.5 years, i swear to god. for the longest time, i could almost get it to sound right, but it wasn’t ever crisp enough to sound good. but i finally figured it out, and tbh i’m not super sure i know what i changed. maybe it’s just that i’m more comfortable after 2 years of practicing. anyways, feeling really proud of myself and i’m glad i didn’t give up! it definitely has not come naturally to me, lmao. but that just goes to show what consistent practice will do for you, make sure you practice at least every other day to keep your muscle memory sharp!

“grosse bagarre” - face yourself

crazy shit man, that was hard 😭 the switch up from low to high on this song is brutal, but it’s fun as fuck to practice to, i highly recommend it lmao. any feedback is welcome as always!! let’s get this sub a little more active lol, share more videos people!

i’m calling it my “goth nickel”

sometimes you keep a coin just because it looks neat, no other reason lol. as someone who is into the goth culture, i couldn’t help but immediately see it as Jefferson in corpse paint lmao. just thought maybe one or two people here would also think it’s neat/funny!

a poem on trauma.

this morning, i didn’t have breakfast.
instead, i had faces and names of people and places i wished would have
stayed forgotten.

i sat and watched the water run for years, frozen
in place by the
flood.

i became a statue there, a monument to my own torture.
for i have known nothing else, and
what good is suffering without expression?

if my worth is measured by what i can endure, surely i must mean something now.

————————————————————

i wrote this this morning after dissociating on the shower floor getting flashbacks all morning instead of getting ready for work 😭 hopefully it helps someone feel understood

i swear this era of deathcore is making a comeback

song is “don’t ask, don’t tell” - chelsea grin

been seeing more myspace deathcore revival bands lately (my favorite of which being rev3rent, they’re sick as fuck) and i love it so much. anyways, here’s some of my highest highs! please excuse the lows, i hadn’t warmed up for that so i didn’t push it very hard. i’m not the biggest fan of this technique, i think it sounds flatter than what i’m capable of and it’s not the most sustainable. but it does allow for some super crispy piercing highs, so i practice it in small amounts because it’s fun lmao. anyways, hope it sounds as cool as it feels lol!

advice or exercises for falsetto control?

you can hear me really struggle on the second “oooh”, just curious what feedback you guys might have for me on what you’ve done to help with falsetto stuff! i feel like my range and pitch is at least okay, but my control is lacking the most. thank you so much in advance!! also, i’m self-taught so i may not understand all the terminology, but i’d love to learn!

change drawer at work had a BIG month

listen, i know for most of you these probably aren’t super cool or special, BUT! i’ve been looking and looking for like 2 years to find something cool in our change drawer, and FINALLY!! i have EIGHT wheat pennies (the oldest of which i think is 1913, but it’s hard to read), i found one of those special edition 2009 Lincoln pennies, and TODAY!!! I FOUND A PROOF COIN!!! and it’s a quarter from 1987, in EXCELLENT condition??? i’m so shocked, and honestly confused on how it got there. the ridges are still so crispy and defined, i couldn’t be more excited!!
