So last night out of the blue I decided to finish a track I had started in June, I had recorded about 10 minutes of drums but never added anything else. Slowed down the BPM of the drums to 50 bpm (recorded at double speed, so it was really like recording over 100bpm drums). Ended up recording an hour long ALBUM in about 4 hours. Having the drums already taken care of saved a lot of time... But it was bass only. 2 'guitarish' sounding bass tracks, and one 'bass' sounding bass track, drums, and then it evolved into a loop of static that went on for another 40 minutes after the 'music' stopped. REALLY happy with how it came out and sent it off to the label I was making it for last night. Still need to title everything and send that information off.
That means that the material I recorded the other day and started this thread over will be up for free in the next few days or possibly tonight, I just need to add vocals to it and remaster it for a third time before I throw it up on the bandcamp for everyone
Then the last 'set' of tracks I was working on for the other label will just need vocals before that is sent off as wellllll
"One 10-minutes long track of deep random pulsations, insectoid solos played on detuned guitar and growls recorded through some black, concrete funnel. Sounds like a joke but I guess it is not."
"10 tracks melting into one strange whole on this 10-minutes demo. Definitely an outsider's voice in a black metal field, Savage Cross is both primitive, demented, atonal and occult. You've got paper thin drumming, low-end Tibetan monk-like sound emitted by something definitely unhuman (in the left speaker) then some guitar in the right speaker. They don't write their songs, this is just some abstract stream of possessed consciousness."
Thanks man And yeah, its so refreshing, both because of how spontaneous everything is, as well as not getting like SUPER attached to recordings and obsessing over process
That's one of my favorite sessions. I'm not sure WHAT I did, but it's like the heaviest mastering I've done and I have no clue how I did it. I've not been home, but all I need to do on the session that I'm going to post for you guys that the thread started over is vocals, so that should be done soon!
AoWR wrote:The true black is the void, the embrace of the crawling emptiness, the recognition of the infinite oblivion, and the acquiessence to the malleable obliqueness that scalds our existence. Much of modern black metal cloaks itself in the robes of ideological severity only to come up far short in terms of approaching the philosophical cornerstones of the genre; even the most supposedly nihilistic projects fail to follow up on their own endorsements of immolation and violence.
Savage Cross make no such pronouncements of intent. Instead we receive deliverance unto the waste, an open-eyed gaze into the swirling waters of the universal negative. Nothing comes back here; this is the devourer. Enter and find the end. Through the approximation of black metal form and the creation of sickeningly thick walls of molten contempt, Savage Cross attain the cosmically transcendent through violent harness, caring little for concepts of the future or awakening. This is pure eradication of consciousness.
Altar Of Waste is extremely psyched to bring forth this numbing call to obliteration, Savage Cross's first physical offering after a small wealth of digital releases. Behold the spoils of psychic despondency. Packaged in a DVD case with artwork by Evan Craig and Cory Strand, in a limited edition of 20 hand-numbered copies. $10 ppd. in the United States, $18 rest of world.
Now I'm WANT that EP! 
The next on is for Your good healt!
