[gay]EDIT: I probably should of edited this a long time ago, but better late than never...

I stopped working on this album like in October.

I have, however, actually put out over 20 songs of varying quality since then.

Head to my Bandcamp if you are actually interested in my garbage.

I've only been working on this for about a week or so.

The genre of the album will be industrial metal.

It's kinda loud, so check your volume.

And please tell me what you think, whether it's good or bad.

Edit: If you think this is any good, you can share it around if you want.

Serious analysis: that first guitar sounds neat, but it's kinda muddy and I can't really make out what's being played. Emphasize the attack more and cut the mud. The guitar near the end is sloppy and doesn't really fit into the groove. I don't especially like the tone of it either; doesn't fit too well.

Samples are neat, but if you're going for something danceable, make sure the drums slam hard. I think people over-emphasize guitar noise's importance when most of the actual whomp of a song comes from the snare. Listen to Big Black's stuff for an example of what I mean. The drum machine on Racer-X is what gives that song its power. Also, don't overcompress the mix.

I like the idea, and I've done some similar stuff myself. Just throwing my opinion out there.

More work on this same song.
Aside from the tone of the second guitar being different, is there really a difference? In 40 seconds, the song's yet to kick in, and that vaguely annoys me.

Honestly, I'd suggest getting a full song finished instead of uploading ten second increments. It'd be easier to judge its progress that way.

You seem very easy to annoy in all honesty.

The song has kicked in, that guitar you are hearing is going to be the main melody.

I want to add more aggressive guitars, as well as some bassy synth work later on.

I want to have a very layered sound, like what you'd hear in Broken by Nine Inch Nails, or pretty much everything by Ministry.

I don't literally mean it had me steaming or some shit. If you wanna go for a really long intro, that's cool. I just prefer my heavy shit to slam and then get out. I usually treat the moment the drums enter as the moment the song starts.

Broken's a pretty great album, not to take it off topic. If you can replicate Trent's guitar tone on that shit, that's a plus in my book.

Don't worry, I have at least 2 songs in my head that will be instantaneous skull fucking.

I will try to make my update videos a little more substantial.

It might still be a while before I can upload a finished track, since it will be awhile still before I can do the vocal work.

I should mention it's a concept album about...something...
