Few weeks ago the idea was born in Discord's "tracked metalscene graveyard" group (group containing about 20 former tracked metalscene members from distant past). The idea was simply resurrecting tracked metalscene via music - which was always the main thing in the whole tracked metalscene. Many fellas were right away into the idea, and yes sure I was interested as well.
I tracked a death/grind tune just some day or two afterwards, around 12th June or so - totally oldschool way of doing it. There was 17-18 years long break from tracking metal, but it all came smoothly like there never was any break. How fast it happened tells it all, exactly as I used to "work" back in the tracked metalscene days: It was matter of one day, music was 100% completed one evening, and lyrics written the same eve, vocals recorded the next day. And I submitted the piece to the forthcoming metalscene compilation release. There is no strict deadline, but supposedly it will be released late Summer 2025.
Well, there is that one tune I did, but ... I got idea for making another tune: While the first tune I did was oldschool tracked metalmod, meaning it was all tracked with ancient samples (bit newer drum samples though) and vocals recorded in DAW ... the idea was to make the 2nd contribution / tune the way I nowadays do my music projects, DAW way. So it's not "Aeuk" as in tracked form, just drums are programmed ones (with good quality, too) but guitars, bass and vocals are all recorded, not tracked. The song turned out really good, methinks. And just like with the first one, I got the idea yesterday, crafted drums, recorded guitars and bass yesterday ... wrote lyrics yesterday evening - then finetuned and arranged lyrics today, and recorded several layers of vocals and mixed them in. Few mastering / mixing takes and done! Submitted that song today, too.
I will put my contributions online sometimes in the Autumn as the compilation gets released - and I will put release information here about the compilation as well. It's gonna be entertaining package, I think.
In any case, my summer holidays starts soon and so ... have a nice summer out there!
