Awesome collab, definitely sounds like it takes inspiration from multiple decades!

With the German vocal and the pad sound it instantly reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/StZcUAPRRac - @0:55 for some reason haha ;) Uses similar sounds I guess...

Overall its a cool track with quite an ominous vibe to it, well done!

Thanks for your kind words.
This one is far away from Rammstein but i know what you mean :)
To be honest, this isn't a colab. I just grab some loops/samples and worked hard on them, then i take/made my own stuff, recorded the vocals and mixed all into this Frederick track.

stay tuned

Well Joe...when you look at the state of humanity on our planet its hard not to get depressed...but fortunately we can express the darkness in music & art rather than action...you certainly accomplish it well...really like the choirs and the way they combine so well with your main vocal...and that cool little beat keeps it all evolving along nicely....well done to you...Ed

Thanks a lot Ed

Nice to know that you think that the vocals and the choirs work well together and that the beat fits to, cause it wasn't realy easy to make the choirs and this beat.

A well done from your side is always something i enjoy

stay tuned

very beautiful, introspective mood you sustain. I can only imagine (since my German ist nicht besonders stark) that the lyrics are dark and brooding since your vocal delivery gives that effect. phatkatz4 is always great with the spooky ambience, solid drum tracks. wonderful collab. fav. cheers.

Thanks a lot.

A little german is better then nothing :)
For all who can't german realy, i put the original words of frederick b. also into the lyrics.

But you get it right. Dark stuff, bad guy, sad story ......
In a way i hate him for doing what he did for sure
but he was an american and they killed him for what he did in a gas chamber.
And in a way, both things don't make me feel comfortable.

I tryed to capture that feeling

Nice to know that you think it's a fav.

stay tuned

I did not know I was playing drums on here :p (Didn't know I could even play drums. I've tried a long time ago on a real set, wasn't pretty! :O)Thankfully now we have midi :p I love that dark choir! Religious punk? Why not!! Ever hear of black metal(well known for being associated with Norway church burnings in the early 90's)? Well, there's White metal too! It's Christian form of Black Metal, Christian Death metal O.o Just doesn't seem right, quite odd if you ask me LOL!! We got to get all these creepy tracks out of the way before Christmas, then we make happy stuff. Well, do zombies do Christmas? They are getting smarter. There's Christmas horror movies too :D I understand people can do some f*d up stuff on drugs, but just imagine coming down and realizing you did this! I've seen videos of people having their throats cut. Very disturbing!! On that Outbreak track I had a little girl almost eaten by zombies, that gave me the chills just placing that sample in there! This Fredrik guy must be kept in solitary where he's safe from the other inmates. Guys who hurt children tend not to live long in there.

He was save, 'cause they set him into the death row. ..... mmmm ..... much to much realty for me. This all was a real -tantarus experience- for me :)

I tried to do a Holy Lord in Heaven punk song but there is no way to do that without that it sounds ironic like hell :) and i am not sure who has less humor, punks or christians :)

I lost my freesound password :() I was on the way to do a Halloween track and searched for church bells "midnight 12 hits" and then i found what i wanted and couldn't find my pw ..... no pw no login no download .... no time and end of project :). Looks like i have to do a new account.

Maybe i ask the thinking zombie if he wants to do that punk song :)

hello Joe

At first I thought this track simply sounds like a kind of profound confession but then I googled FB. This would be your 2nd composition with him, if I remember correctly.
I really like the space illusion in the mix and kind of funeral spiritual athmosphere (interesting choirs).

The track is definitely a combination of many different stylistical elements. Maybe you should put simply a 'religious' label on it?

Very good music and also I liked how you tell this story.

joecramer replied 12th Oct 2015 - 9 years ago
You are right Alex, this is number 2. Here i use the words that i changed in the first track to this haunted voices.

After i had this "meeting" with F.B. i couldn't stop thinking on
- How does a man feel when he had killed two persons that way and watched them die?

Aren't all dark tracks in a way religious?

In fackt i didn't think that religious would fit for this one ..... This is more "human". Bad, evil, sad and pitifully - just like (some) humans are.

Nice to hear that you like the way i done this one.

stay tuned
joe

PS: two days ago i was thinkingon and start making a religious song. But i am not sure if people will get a conection to a religious punk song :) .... we will see.
After all this scary dark things, i need some fun!

You should buy a zoom r8 it benfit your voice. Btw i got one so if not want to buy one i could send you mine with postdanmark as I just lost my voice today,but you gonna at least wait 20 days til i get some money.
joecramer
joecramer replied 10th Oct 2015 - 9 years ago
Hey centralsdev,

what a gentle offer. But maybe your voice will come back and then you need it yourself ...

To be honest, right now i have the hardest times with money. I didn´t had so big probs the last 20 years! So i could need any gifts at all but my probs slowly turn back to zero and some day i will buy me a ZOOM mic. for sure.

So you got a real high rank in my personal list for this offer.
But i believe i can´t take it. You shouldn´t leave this Zoom r8 behind you. You will come onto a point where you will need a mic and or record machine. Voice isn´t all :)
And i, right now, make almost 35 years music with low quality stuff and i can handle that a little longer.

I hope your own finace probs will go away and your love for music will give you some cool ideas for "your" music.

so lets stay tuned my friend
joe

PS: befor you put the Zoom into the waist, call/write/contact me :) !!!!!

You're making some damn creepy tracks Joe! Love that synth/choir. Not understanding the lyrics just adds to the creepiness :p

joecramer replied 10th Oct 2015 - 9 years ago
Hey Burt

Therefor that you can´t understand the lyrics, you play realy cool on your drums to the song :) ..... i´m not sure, can it be that the most members of this band dosen´t know that they play in that band????

The lyrics are, like mostly placed into the lyrics folder.
The translated and fitted words in german and the org english ones.
Nice to know that you think this last two tracks are realy "creepy", cause thats what i tryed to make :) some songs just dark and creepy, a little evil, full with emotions and good for a little bit fear by night :)
This choir is cool. But it was a lot of work and mixing to make it so human and synthetic at the same time

Thanks for the listen

stay tuned

Your vocal isnt clear so it hard to get every word you are saying, and the music sound as one long line,but it sound good.
joecramer
joecramer replied 9th Oct 2015 - 9 years ago
Right. My mic was a real bad one but it is in german so the most must have a look into the lyrics to get any at all, so it dont matters to much and the music is almost one line with just a few changes. :)
Nice to know that you think it sounds good

stay tuned

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
