Marehelm 05.22.19	All kinds of constructive and unconstructive criticisms welcome
garas 05.22.19	Another BM album made by sputnikers? Fantastic! I'll check it very soon.
SoulFunction 05.22.19	Sounds like shit and I can't hear the drums, kinda reminds me of that slow ass band Carved Cross.
Papa Universe 05.22.19	A lot of user made BM lately. Will check
garas 05.22.19	Well, it's more noise than BM. I can't hear the drums, and it was hard to follow the song structures - which is frustrating. I'd change on these. At least, I liked the guitar tone + for me the cover arts are very important, so I have to say I loved it.
Marehelm 05.22.19	Yeah, it's basically so lo-fi it's almost noise. You can hear the kick drum and sometimes the snare ;-)
Marehelm 05.22.19	Thanks for listening!
TheSpirit 05.22.19	I dug the shit out of this. I love how atmospheric it was, and honestly, I enjoy more free-form compositions for raw black metal than traditional song structures so I don’t think the fact it kind of veers off into those noisey, percussionless tangents is a bad thing at all. This is very hypnotic and ritualistic. Well done.
Marehelm 05.22.19	Thanks man! We spend a lot of time on it, and I specifically spend a lot of time on the song structures.
Marehelm 05.22.19	Thanks fren! Still haven't checked your stuff out after all these years, so it's probably about time I begin
Sinternet 05.22.19	Mine and Yak's new lo-fi black
SoulFunction 05.22.19	friend
madrigal30 05.22.19	I don't know a label, but I'd love to help on production/guitar/bass. If you need it, I'm in. Loads of cool ideas but the execution is understandably rough hahaha
Marehelm 05.22.19	Nice, madrigal! I'm considering doing som grindcore-noise stuff. I could definitely use some bass for that if you're up for it
Marehelm 05.22.19	Added the demo to the database as well if anyone feels like rating it
BandNewbac 05.22.19	Nice artwork
artiswar 05.22.19	Ok that was REALLY low-fi. You should really look at the production because it's holding you back, like the drums are completely inaudible for the most part. It's BM, we need to be able to hear those sweet blast-beats. This might actually be good but it's hard to tell. Digging the vocals and album art though.
budgie 05.22.19	artwork is cool just fix the mixing imo
TheSpirit 05.22.19	The production seems to me to be pretty intentionally obscuring. It’s pretty perfect just vibing out and relaxing.
artiswar 05.22.19	Yeah, but shouldn't the drums be somewhat audible though? I get the atmosphere thing, but I don't listen to much lo-fi so maybe I just don't get it.
ScuroFantasma 05.23.19	Dirty and disgusting the way it should be, nicely done.
artiswar 05.23.19	Ok, just relistened and I think I'm getting it... you only want the distorted impression of the drums (if that makes any sense, that's the best way I can describe it). This is actually pretty sick and I totally missed the point the first time, I'm not used to this sound but I'm starting to appreciate it. I have just one question... Who is Yak?
Marehelm 05.23.19	Thanks for listening, guys! Really glad some of you like it. And I totally understand those who doesn't. All I can say is that it sounds exactly as I wanted it to and it took forever "perfecting" this sound. And, as some of you pointed out, Yak nailed the vocals and his friend nailed the artwork. Again, thanks for listening!
budgie 05.23.19	vocals are fuckin great, good job yak
YakNips 05.23.19	thanks guys, we’re definitely happy with how it turned out and i’m glad you’re enjoying
hal1ax 05.23.19	good shit boyz
artiswar 05.23.19	yeah sorry for shitting the bed with my initial take. Just wasn't used to this sound and I missed the mark big time. Great job.
Marehelm 05.24.19	No worries my man! Glad you like it, but I wouldn't fault anyone who doesn't :-)
madrigal30 06.04.19	BTW, never responded: would love to work on noise/grind. Doing some noise/doom work right now on a concept album I've conceived
