Brabiz: My Experimental Black Metal Demo

Brabiz 10.30.18	It’s like if The Cure collaborated with Behemoth. Would love to know what people think. https://soundcloud.com/goodbye-to-sleep/sets/i_lost_you
TheSpirit 10.30.18	I will check this out when I get home from work.
Brabiz 10.30.18	Sweet! Can’t wait to get your thoughts
tyman128 10.30.18	gotta check this out, I’ve been checking out quite a few sput demos over the past week, definitely adding this to the list
Brabiz 10.30.18	Just keep in mind that i recorded / mixed this on my phone. So it’s not exactly perfect as far as production and mixing goes.
Veldin 10.30.18	For a demo this is really good. Didn't like all the cymbals and percussion at times, but again, "demo". Especially enjoy the black metal portions. They're very impressive and tantalizing \|m/
Brabiz 10.30.18	Sweet! I’m glad you liked it, i think with more people involved, this could sound awesome. Idk how to play any instruments, so this was just me dicking around with keyboards and guitars. So it could definitely use the input of people who actually know how to play I’m also not entirely sure the direction i want to take. Since each demo i’ve made has ranged from sludge metal to emo / pop punk to straight up post - hardcore. This demo has an interesting set of ideas though i think.
TheSpirit 10.30.18	Is this what love is? Crying FUCKing in the bAaaThroom! That part is awesome. Tbh I only get the most minimal of BM vibes from this, but I really liked it regardless. I would maybe try to steer away from higher range you go into sometimes, because it gets kind of whiny, but your mid-lower range is really perfect for this. I really liked this a lot.
TheSpirit 10.30.18	Oh I thought this was only one song. Listening to the others now.
Brabiz 10.30.18	Yeah, only half of the songs have black metal elements. I was going to add more, but the riffs and sections i came up with weren’t that good or interesting imo, so i scrapped them. I really only did the black metal stuff because i’m in a black metal band, and i wanted to practice different screamed vocal techniques / layering techniques. But yes, i agree about the high vocal stuff. It kinda ruins it for me whenever i listen to this.
BerryGarlicia 10.30.18	melody?? BLACK METAL????? ARE YOU CHRISTIAN OR SOMETHING??this is not trve kvlt
Brabiz 10.30.18	This is the least trve thing ever lol. It’s basically atmospheric goth rock with some straight forward black metal moments.
Hawks 10.31.18	That sounds right up my alley tbh, will czech. m/
naughtcturnal 10.31.18	One of the songs I'm hearing sounds like Emperor with a Cure-ish chorus. Really nice job on this, man
naughtcturnal 10.31.18	this is truly a good combination of a lot of shit that I like. Pornography is GOAT cure album lol
Beardog 10.31.18	Will check, if you want some help with production or some other musical stuff, hit me up, I made some record myself too (karslandman.bandcamp.com)
tyman128 10.31.18	all of these demos and stuff are making me want to push the progress of my small band to record some stuff now
BigPleb 10.31.18	That album cover rules.
Beardog 10.31.18	I thought the vocals were quite impressive and it sounds really decent for a phone recording. I'd love to help you out with mixing / re-arranging (especially in the guitar department) your music, but it kinda depends on what kind of production you want. Also, nice synth work, I think the songwriting is done very well. It is slightly inconsistent, I don't think the pop punk and black metal fit that well (especially on the last few tracks) but it is really good for a demo
Brabiz 10.31.18	Glad everyone seems to be enjoying this, taking a step from straight up alternative rock to this weird mismash of styles was a big risk. But either way it’s a demo, so glad y’all like it!
Brabiz 10.31.18	The cops got called on us when we took the picture for the album art lol. It was fun.
