Description : Continuing the Asimov's Foundation theme. The exiled psychohistorians from Trantor begin their final approach to the barren planet Terminus with a sense of apprehension, awe, and spiritual beginnings. I began with electronic sounds leading to a metal sound that provides a background to sci fi melodies. I used Acid Music Studio and some loops from this site.

Another great track and another nudge for me to put Asimov's "Foundation" series on my reading list. I'm not generally a big fan of metal music but when it is kept under control, as in this piece, it can be an irresistible force. Nice work creating something very enjoyable. -Ken

I really try to use metal sounds as a compliment to other sounds versus an end unto its own. I try to use it to convey emotion and urgency with all the other sounds. Thanks again for your support and encouragement. I will keep checking out your site as well to look for inspiration. Take care, Kenikos. Kper

Blowing a hole in the moon? Wow. That sounds like a good title to a song. We humans have a tough time just leaving everything within our reach alone. Thanks for the review. Kper

Holy shit man, you just melted my face. This is heavy prog metal at its best. Your electric and acoustic percussion worked seamlessly together. The movements had the smoothness that I wish I could master.

Very nice work, and my first favorite track!

Thanks for the review and the honor, GhostPIG. I always feel insecure about the fluidity of the movements so your feedback helps. Thanks again. Kper

I think we have the same approach to metal, very symphonic and original, love all that is happening, the audio story telling is great, structure really well thought out, great production, this is my kind of metal, great job.

I've always enjoyed intellectual metal that does more than just cuss and talk of rebellion. It is neat to listen to all the talent on this site that mainstream metal could really tap into and benefit from. The amount of originality a person can find here is staggering. I have much respect for those, such as yourself, who keep pushing the envelope. Thanks for the review, BigPete. Kper

Hey Kper.
I must say that you've done a really great piece of work with this one. The intro is setting the scene and mood of the song in a perfect way. Leading towards guitars with a sound that fits like a condom. The synths and the drums are pretty much flawless.

I almost feel like I gotta start reading those book you read.
Keep these coming man, totally awesome.

Description : I asked Danke if I could add some vocals to his track Future Machine and he kindly agreed and sent me the track. The lyrics are about a soldiers experience in war as he and his trench mates are told to get up and out of their trench and attack the enemy across open fields. I can only imagine the fear, tension and chaos that goes through one's mind at that moment.

Description : I discovered Meshuggah around 2003 and was blown away by the power, complexity and super Heavy sound of their music. Their "Nothing" album marked the switch to 8 string guitars and pushed Heavy Metal into a whole new territory. My track is a variant cover of their song "Nebulous". I have stayed pretty close to the original but added a few dynamic elements of my own. Its loud, its super heavy and way out there...Beyond Nebulous.

Description : This unconventional metal track is dedicated to Valvedriver https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/841435 though it's not a parody of his fine music or me actively trying to sound like it. I struggled for months with the first few minutes of this track knowing that I must be able to take it somewhere deeper, more psychedelic and powerful. Then I loaded some sampled choir voice instruments, as used in my track Reckful https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160356 and suddenly found myself happily in Valveland - not a place I visit often. Feeling amply Valvedriven and newly inspired, I added the last few minutes fairly easily and very quickly. So: it's a twisting, turning mixture of grunge, menacing ambient, mystical metal and ultra-heavy funk. Instruments: electric guitar+bass, synth basses, female choir voices, one synth pad, some other synths on the nastier side of things and a few programmed heavy acoustic drumkits playing a mixture of triplets and straighter grooves. Interesting thoughts appreciated. Favourite bits? Shit bits? Please listen on good headphones/speakers as there's a lot of heavy bass in this. Now get ready to rock: balls out, hands in the air and with rebellious joy in your heart. Just try not to headbang the hell out of your laptop. Go!
