DungeonBoy
06.07.16 | Dude, this is really good! The compositions are interesting and very theatrical sounding. Kinda reminds me of Tuomas Holopainen's Life and Times of Scrooge. Cool stuff, much better quality than a lot of sputnik user submissions IMO. |

06.07.16 | Cool Sevengill! I'll give this a listen today. |
Beardog
06.07.16 | This is great man! |
Sevengill
06.07.16 | Thanks Dungeon. Tuomas is the man, I'll take that any day. |

Sevengill
06.08.16 | can you pos an album
is that a thing |
TVC15
06.08.16 | Correct me if I'm wrong but do I hear some Dead Can Dance influences? ;) This is seriously a well done album and I personally find the synthesized instruments part of the charm (though I say that as an admirer of Wendy Carlos' work) |
Sevengill
06.08.16 | I don't want to say you're wrong, but I've never listened to Dead Can Dance. That's about to change, though. |
TVC15
06.08.16 | Ah well try their album Within the Realm of a Dying Sun as your entry point. You're going to be in for a big treat |
Sevengill
06.08.16 | is their name a reference to Dead from Mayhem because I like the idea of him dancing |
TVC15
06.08.16 | "is their name a reference to Dead from Mayhem because I like the idea of him dancing" I'm afraid not but now I won't be able to listen to Dawn of the Black Hearts and look at its album cover the same with that image in mind |

Snide
09.23.16 | This is some good shit. |
Sevengill
09.23.16 | Thanks Mala. Hard to promote this stuff, but I'm proud of it. |
DungeonBoy

You really went that extra mile on the name change. |
Sevengill
09.23.16 | it's a finicky thing, this MtF business |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
09.23.16 | Could be your promo angle.
Trans is so hot right now. |
Sevengill
09.23.16 | I'm not sure how I feel about that >__> |

Gold feels. |
zaruyache
09.23.16 | OK cus I was confused bc of the name and display pic thumbnail. But actually looking at the big photo I think I actually recognize you.
|
Sevengill
09.23.16 | I haven't seen that but I hear it's great. I have a real problem watching popular trans stuff...just hits too close to home, people being accepted or even embraced while my family has threatened to disown me for it. I'm finally moving away now so I can be who I want to be. Yay! |
Sevengill
09.23.16 | @zar haha yeah sorry about that |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
09.23.16 | I haven't seen it either but the lefty critic collective is circle jerking over it so I'm not sure if it's actually legit that good or just promotes their beliefs. Cause Girls was garbage and that got tons of praise cause of body positivity and all that bullshit. But who knows, could be legit good I can't say as I've yet to invest the time. |
zaruyache
09.23.16 | I know some lqbtq groups have criticized it for casting a straight man to play a trans woman, but that's the extent of the criticism to which I'm aware. |
Sevengill
09.23.16 | can we
talk about my album?
&hearts |
Sevengill
09.24.16 | guess not. no hearts. |
AsleepInTheBack

Sevengill

I was in like a songwriting coma for weeks after finishing it, haha. |
