@Concubinary I like the idea of reserving an EP for the more eclectic songs. I also see EPs as an opportunity for a band to present their best songs from a recording session. All bands know that every song on a typical 10-12 track album are not all gonna be bangers. I'd happily sacrifice quantity for quality. Give me a 5-song EP that I'll keep coming back to instead of an 11-song LP that wavers in quality throughout.

God the vocals on this album drive me nuts. Just swap him for any other vocalist and this would be so much better.

Oh, yeah, he stopped the Black Malachite project, go check his stuff out as Irrenoid if you're interested. he stepped up his game production wise and now has a clear direction.

That's good to hear. Black Malachite definitely had potential, but the discog was just so jumbled and unfocused that it became quite frustrating. I'll check out Irrenoid in a bit

Yeah 100%, Codename: Synthchip onwards is where you oughta start, everything's got a chiptune base now but he still genre bends like crazy (way more than I do ngl, the most unconventional thing I did with Waves Ablaze so far is this R&B-tinged ballad...aka shameless 808s and Heartbreak stuff)

i'm kind of in awe of how crazy his headspace for music is. makes me seem comparatively neutered and basic in all honesty. i'm doing a lot of new things lately but those new things are pretty much just turning Waves Ablaze into a progressive metal/core/djent hybrid.

Ironic convo cuz I probably give venin as much shit as I used to give blackmalachite but venin is more interesting and less deserving of the shit i give. I guess i see venin as a young sibling on this site to give shit to but they are still an endearing person when mal was not so endearing.
