I've been in this same situation before with my own project and it is absolutely soul crushing in every way. Calling it quits doesn't seem like the right decision though and I would say just begin anew on a different record.

Snide here, I'm not coming back, but I figured that I owe you all a response for clarity because of all that you've all done for me.

The incident happened while I was at work, anyone who uploads videos to YouTube who also edits them is probably more than aware of how long rendering can take. I was rendering a 46 minute video for my gaming channel, so I decided to leave my computer running during my shift so that I could upload it when I got back home. Apparently the inside of my rig caught fire while I was at work, as when I got home the entire inside of my tower was basically all scorched black, both hdds, graphics card, motherboard and all. I'm incredibly lucky my apartment didn't burn down.

I'd also like to address a few other questions and statements in here.

I'm frankly feeling depressed, and to me I'm taking this as a sign that I need to step away from doing music on my own for a while. Its not just the fact that I lost the nearly complete sixth album and halfway done seventh album, its the fact that I lost the master files for every song I've ever done on my own. I lost the hours I spent working on Void after my ex fiancé left, the hours I spent writing piano tracks to help me fall asleep at night, the hours I spent trying to solve my own personal issues with Nightfall. This isn't even remotely comparable to My Tears Your Weapon, that project was basically my learning project and in the grand scheme of things didn't matter. I poured my everything into Black Malachite, and I don't know if I'm ever going to feel the same drive to pour my all into something like that again. I might form a full band to scream and write lyrics, but I just don't know what the future holds for me musically other than that.

As for people asking whether I bought plays. I purchased plays for one SoundCloud track (my Itachi remix) and two YouTube videos, to make them look more presentable for advertising. I never purchased Facebook likes for Black Malachite.

Thank you all for the wonderful memories.

"I'm frankly feeling depressed, and to me I'm taking this as a sign that I need to step away from doing music on my own for a while."

Look real talk here, feeling depressed after losing so much work is a pretty normal reaction and shouldn't be taken as a sign that it's time to pack up and abandon something you've always been so passionate about.

It sucks to lose the masters for your old material but just be happy that stuff got released and is out there and, realistically, you likely weren't going to be touching those since the albums were done and out there. The 6th and 7th album is shitty though agreed.

Take some time, mourn your losses but you'll be back at it I'm sure. If anything this might give you some new fuel for another release (that I probably won't listen to just like all the others but some will!)

Yeah i mean, of course that sucks, and it would make me want to quit music for awhile too. I dont get why that means black malachite has to be over though. Seems like a bit of an overreaction. Not the emotional reaction, but the decision to end BM. doesnt make much sense. He should just take a break for awhile and get back to it.

I don't really know anything about the guy but it seems like the emotional reaction which is perfectly normal. When you get fucked and lose majorly on an investment the first instinct is to quit but it's rarely permanent.

It's one thing to end a project, but the important thing is to just keep making music. As for drama, I've been here for a couple years and lurked before that and never actually saw any drama, just the soul-crushing flood of snide mean-spirited comments in the Black Malachite threads. Granted some of those were honest critiques but trying to parse through some of that stuff was just cringe. A lot of people have a very weird chip on their shoulder when it comes to this dude

I got messaged by a couple Sputnik users on Facebook asking me to clear this up. 15000 dollars wasn't just the VSTs, it was the total damage accrued.

My rig, custom built, 3,000$
Programs: Sony Acid Pro, Ableton, FL Studio, Melodyne, Reaper, Vegas Pro, and Photoshop CS6: $4000
VSTs: Over 130 individually purchased preset packages: $7000
Loops, FX, and purchased samples: 1200$
Professionally translated Italian scripts (for seventh album): 50$

those are basic estimations, I don't have the data anymore to give exact amounts but hopefully now that you guys know the specifics of what was lost, you'll understand why it isn't an exaggeration.

that's not even taking into account the fact that you can easily get free vst's and plugins which are just as good as the premium alternatives

also who tf buys samples anymore? there's a billion royalty-free sample packs and loops on the internet for the low low cost of $0

to be fair it's pretty hard to find powerful free vsts that aren't hard as hell to use from lack of streamlined design; likewise free sample packs can be really annoying to organize and format for efficient use. it all comes down to how much extra time and effort you want to put in to using free stuff versus buying a couple quality, easy-to-use products and sticking with them. i bought komplete a while back and i can't really see buying anything more, so the 7k pricetag seems insane to me

If you can't re download the vsts and programs then they weren't acquired legally which means you aren't losing any money.

@Streak: I might be making a version with vocals. This EP is part of an instrumental two parter (both EPs are nu-metal / alt metal), and then eventually I'm gonna make a compilation, put vocals on all the tracks, and release the vocal AND vocal-less versions together with a few bonus tracks.
