Gonna release a single:

The Bones of the Holy Reptile
Zippyshare.com - Bones of the Holy Reptile.wav

"A land once flourishing with the chants of our scaled ancestors now burns within a poison atmosphere. We await the sun's blessing each passing day, we await it's rays, the disintegration of this mortal flesh. Trees are planted for the sacred birds to land and sing the ancients to life. Beneath and within the soil their home, a tomb for the hope that raised this colony. Blood drains from the martyrs, their lives end in vain. Seeping from their wounds the insects gather for the ritual. They fill vessels crafted from gold. A great and massive temple is built on the site where the bones of the Holy Reptile lie. Within it we sing. The sky rains entheogen. With the crawling blood of the martyrs in our hands and the ultimate longing for immortality in our hearts, the ceremony begins. The Basilisk is in the clouds. Release us. Release us. Release us. The skin melts from our limbs. The wind brings death, so beautiful. The Basilisk wakes as we drip with hallucination. The Holy Reptile paints our minds with a new world. We are now scaled and together with claws. The moon illuminates the afterlife. Release us. Release us. Release us. The bones of the Holy Reptile fuse together in our bodies. Release us."

Daydream Society - For Now

Finished this up a little sooner than expected because last night I decided to get super high and finish several tracks. Overall I think this is the creative peak of my lifetime so far and trying to top it will be quite a task. That's kind of a generic sentence that basically everyone here says for every single album they post so it probably sounds like a hollow statement but I honestly believe it. There are a lot more varied influences on this album than my past works, and there are several tracks that include some heavily distorted guitar which isn't something I used to work with very much. As usual it'll be a varied listen where none of the tracks sound particularly alike, but there's still a central concept and theme to the album that was the driving force behind every song. Googling some of the track titles might reveal one of my more important influences for this one

Anyway my deal that I mentioned a few posts ago still stands: if anyone is willing to listen to this and write up a little review somewhere I will reciprocate, so just PM me an album of yours or tell me in this thread and I promise I will do it.

Here's the link:

About to listen to it now. I'll update with my thoughts. Definitely interested.
As for trading listens/reviews, here's my latest: https://soundcloud.com/the-deaf-aids/sets/soft-heat

Lemme know what you make of it.

Guys, should we make a new thread, like Forum Member Showcase Reviews or something, so we can separate the casual library here from a fair review system there?

[Frownland]

I think that one of the concepts behind this thread was for feedback, I don't think we'll need a second thread for it.

It just might get tedious going through to see who you need to return a review to if you have to comb through posts that are more in the original spirit of the thread and other casual banters.

[YorkeDaddy]

I think a new thread in General Music made specifically for reviews of users' music would be fine

Comment from a member on another forum:

I am amazed at how you can play something so inexpensive and make it sound like God just handed it down from heaven.

The recording above was done on a 2000 Squier Strat I got along with an amp, case, and chord for $100. I did 3 quick takes to see how it would record.

That comment just made my week. Fueling the fire.
