MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA
Music by Overdrive and Stargoon

The song Make Friends With Gorilla is the result of a team effort and was composed in collaboration with the amazing band Stargoon. 

The initial idea was to produce the electro background for one of Stargoon's songs. It was then that the composer Shayne O'Neill introduced me to the demo of "Make Friends With Gorilla". The song was great and I spent a lot of time creating different electro versions, experimenting with beats and bass lines, but none of them sounded really interesting. I came to the inevitable conclusion that any change too abruptly would take away from the beauty of the original track, and perhaps the best solution was a remix. This way the original track could be released intact and still get a remix.

"Just do whatever you think works best," was Shayne's response. Man, you don't say that to someone who is desperate (lol). After that I completely abandoned the electronic versions and went for a mix of punk rock (!), anime music (!!) and orchestra (!!!)

This remix was by far one of the biggest challenges I've had to date, because it forced me to experiment with a crossover of styles outside the electro bubble.

I hope you enjoy the result.

Stargoon is the fantastic musical project created by the duo Shayne O'Neill and Ceridwyn "Sunny" Roberts-Floyd. The band has post-prog pop influences and was once defined as Hawkwind meets Devo. In my opinion, Stargoon's sound is completely original, a rare gem. I am an outspoken fan of the duo's work.

Their excellent debut album, The Gift, is well worth checking out:

I also recommend a visit to the SC profile of Shayne O'Neill, composer, musician and UFO pilot. His musical genius is indisputable:

The radio intro is an excerpt from the movie King Kong Vs Godzilla (1962). This exact part is available on YouTube:

Lyrics
MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA

Make friends with make friends with her, they said
Make friends with the piece they said
He doesn't intend to smash Tokyo.
He just wants to find love.
He just wants to find love.
This city takes everything we love.
This city is falling

Make peace with the gorilla man
Make peace with make peace with the gorilla man
He doesn't want to break with his hands
He just wants to go home
He just wants to go home
This city has ruined all the things that bring joy
This city must be destroyed

Make friends with make friends with make friends with the lizard king
Make peace with make peace with the lizard king
He doesn't want to crush Tokyo
He just wants happy times
He just wants happy times
This city has taken all the good times
This city is leaving

Make Friends With Gorilla (feat. Stargoon)

BILL XI (2026)

Drop your favorite timestamp — I reply to every one.

Hall & Oats "Man-Eater" classic meets the Neon Cowboy universe in a high-voltage rock transformation built for late-night drives, cinematic energy, and clean-guitar swagger.

This version blends 80s glam metal, outlaw grit, and modern rock production — a neon-lit firestorm of bending leads, galloping rhythms, atmospheric horror textures, and a guitar tone that chases the vocal like a cinematic villain.

The iconic Man Eater mood is reborn with a ReVAMPd backbone:
Big rock drums
Gritty outlaw vocals
Neon-city atmosphere
Evil-laugh guitar solo
Stadium-punch chorus

“This sounds like if Hall & Oats walked into a neon western universe with lightning hitting behind him.” — early listener reaction

A song dedicated to the first snow and the joy it brings to my boys.
This is the first song I actually play the drums, on my recently aquiered e-drums kit. Until now, the drums were the only instrument I didn't play myself.

How Much Time

2007
Omophagia came into existence in December 2006 when Beni (Vocals) and Henrique (guitar) decided to found a deathmetal band. Soon after Raphael (guitar), RafaHell (bass guitar) und Lehmä (drums) joined and so Omophagia became a complete band in May 2007.

2008
Omophagia got the first possibilities to play live and in March they recorded and released their demo called “Devouring Raw Flesh” by themselves. Unfortunately Raphael decided to leave the band in the beginning of September due to time-reasons, but not long after his retreat Mischa became his dignified replacement. Meanwhile Omophagia played more than a dozen concerts including the Metalfest at Z7 where they had the honor to play with Morbid Angel, Kataklysm and Keep Of Kalessin.

2009
For Omophagia the next year has begun at least as successful as past one. They got the occasion to play many concerts and festivals nation-wide and abroad, for example at Transilvania CH, at the notorious Mountains Of Death and also at the Metalcamp Slovenia. 
At the end of 2009, Omophagia started the preparations for their forthcoming debut-album. Because of money- and time-reasons they decided to record it by themselves, therefore they rebuilt their rehearsal-room into a studio.

2010
Omophagia put a lot of energy into new songs and started to record their new album „Guilt By Nescience“. Meanwhile Omophagia had a good reputation among the swiss deathmetal-scene and was able to play many concerts (for example as support of Belphegor).

2011
The year started very well with supporting the band Hail of Bullets in January. Furthermore the recordings for the debut-album were completed and have been sent to “Hertz”-Studio in Poland (Decapitated, Vader, Behemoth, Hate etc.) for mixing and mastering.
Afterwards the first setback appeared by the exit of Lehmä due to time-reasons.
But still, at the 14th of May, Omophagia released their debut-album called „Guilt By Nescience“ after four years of band-existence and almost 40 concerts. Unfortunately the release-party had to be played without any drummer (just with drum-tracks). Omophagia decided not to play any further concerts without a drummer and therefore was looking for a good replacement for Lehmä.

At the end of July Omophagia has been completed again by the joining of a very talented drummer called Steven Wild and is stronger than ever! Be ready for a massive comeback!
