I'm a fiend for piano rave and old skool.

OMG Breaks!

"Breakbeat in springtime!" 

"Happy Hardcore!" 

"You dream of heaven, now create what you like and have fun, whoa-oh" 

I was into grunge from '92  - '99, though if I could go back in time I'd enjoy breakbeat rave and piano hardcore and probably would have been a part of that scene.

"Feel the panic / got to have it!" 

----- 

I like listening to *skool, breaks, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Future Jungle tunes. I didn't start liking this genre until I heard it on the Amiga! I never owned one of those computers, as my parents bought me a PC instead, but I downloaded my first MOD from America Online filesearch back in 1994 and I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of 4-channel simplicity yet still complex beats. I didn't re-discover the genre until 2008 when I found mazemod.org and listened to chiptunes. Also fond of Reggaeton (the synth). Things really took off when I discovered Mono netlabel and listened to H0ffman's "Mono: A Retrospective in 4 channels". Mortimer Twang, Substance, "ISO - We're Here" . Great stuff! 

I like this kind of music because it brings me back to the days when I was a kid in the summer playing video games on those hot summer nights. I'd come across a screen with music I liked and would just leave it there playing on loop. Front Mission 3  / Ace Combat 3 comes to mind. I like this genre because it reminds me of futuristic things.

Huge Metalhead who also digs some various styles of Electronic music...and some other stuff too.

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."

Deadtide is a spiritually awakened modern melodic death metal & metalcore band located in New York and New Jersey, but many people have so kindly mistaken the band as hailing from Sweden. 

This is the soundtrack to your awakening. This is the soundtrack of the humanity revolution.





Before the band Mike (“Mike Metal,” vocalist) and Phil (“Chrome,” guitarist) met in 2006 while studying advertising in college in New York. At its dawn, jam sessions and YouTube videos set a course for Deadtide's destiny. Two of the very first people ever to upload metal and guitar videos, Phil and Mike blazed a trail for what became the metal galaxy in the ever-expanding YouTube universe as we know it today. Now, the band has a solid lineup of Mike, Phil, Max, Andrew, and Daniel, who have been rocking in bands for 40+ collective years; sharing the stage with international acts such as Soilwork, Fear Factory, Unearth, and many more.


The tasteful use of pounding rhythms, thunderous double-bass, soaring harmonies, atmospheric and horror-style synthesizers, and vast-ranged vocals from harsh to beautiful to powerful, embody the diversity of Deadtide. 
    
    The band focuses on composing catchy hooks that refuse to depart the minds of listeners, while remaining versatile, heavy, dark, haunting, and emotional, all while still managing to deliver positive, uplifting messages. 
    
    In a world full of ears fatigued by music that sounds “uninspired,” a cure is always present, though most may never realize it. Unsatisfied with the generic, Deadtide strives until they've achieved what they find so many other bands to be lacking today; true substance and vision. With Phil and Mike being difficult to satisfy aurally nowadays, they would much prefer to write something striking to them, themselves, at the level of their own high standards, because they know that listeners will enjoy it that much more. With hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, they have their fingers on the pulse of metal listeners. They know what metalheads want to hear and how to slice through a sea of noise. They recognize that it's all about injecting little nuances to make a passage shine. It's their time to give back to the music world for all that it's done for them in their own lives.
    
    Deadtide hungers for something more; roots that reach deep into the heart of the best of melodic death metal, breaking through the soil with the additions of other subgenres' sounds, with a goal to blossom into something new for metal, and for music in general. Ripe with ideas ranging from the simple-creative, to the grandiose and spectacular, Deadtide yearns to do great things, simultaneously infecting audiences with feelings they'll never forget. 
    
    Mike's lyrics seamlessly blend themes that range from life and death, to space and the universe, to the energies and forces seen and unseen therein. He employs all the literary devices possible, alongside truth and myth, fact and fantasy, to paint vivid pictures within listeners' minds, as well as to convey powerful and profound concepts. Balancing relatable and novel concepts keeps things ever-interesting. Inspiring listeners and encouraging them to broaden their own knowledge on much of what school will not teach, the concepts serve to shatter realities and shift paradigms in the very ways his own have over the years. Above all, the lyrics induce thought outside the listeners’ realm of comfort, and propel the imagination into uncharted reaches, effortlessly.

    In a world being invaded with mind-shrinking technology, Deadtide desires to inspire you to think. In a world so full of lies masquerading as truths, Deadtide wants you to question everything. In a world so numb, Deadtide loves to make you feel. To make you feel just how alone you are in a universe full of death... and surely... full of life beyond what we know; full of more than we could ever imagine. Full of mysteries beyond what we could ever fathom. Full of dimensions beyond where we may ever travel.
