Best song in the album!

Periphery - Wax Wings Guitar Cover (instrumental)

Hey everyone.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Remember when I said you shouldn't expect more Undertale content from me? Well, you may color yourself surprised. Don't expect more again, this is one thing that I decided to do half jokingly until I put my hands to work.

FLP, MP3 file and Google Doc with the criticism of the original track that I decided to leave out of the description:

Original track:
https://soundcloud.com/dr-samuel-hayden/misfortune

For some context, before I "left" the community, since around 2019 or 2020, I've been deeply enamored with Periphery. It has gotten to the point that I can probably tell you the name of any Periphery song you play in front of me without hints, and if I can't, I can assure you it is from the Icarus Lives EP (which I should actually more attentively listen to). Periphery V was the first album I was hyped up to listen to in my entire life, and when it dropped I listened to it so much that I got bored of it for a while.

Imagine my surprise when I found a Megalovania project based on the newest album of my all-time favorite band.

The first song I found from https://soundcloud.com/dr-samuel-hayden's project was the Misfortune cover. Initially I found it interesting, but the more I listened to it, the more it's flaws started to ooze out, as if it was overflowing with a sticky and slimy substance.

Reading the comments of that track, I found others agreed, however, were not healthy in how they expressed their dissatisfaction with it. I then decided to make this song as to show how I would do it instead, somewhat "fixing" the issues with the original song.

Something important too, is to point out the issues with the original, in a constructive way, as to help each other grow, and this is what I mainly am caring so much about this description for, making it look presentable and readable. I may no longer be around, but that does not mean I want others to fail. In the end, what unites us all is our passion for music, and it is far more healthy to continue to build each other up than to tear one another down.

I wrote it all here in the description of this track only to find out SoundCloud has a 4000 character limit, so i put my ramblings into a google doc besides the FLP and the MP3 file.

Thank you for listening, and for reading through this. This song is the culmination of a long time of my own betterment, trying to achieve new heights, not being limited to a song from a game nearing its 9th birthday in a couple of months. I owe to this community and to my friends the quality and improvement I see in my own projects, and without this silly little song from a 2015 game,  I do believe i would not have reached these heights. Thank you to everyone involved in my growth. As a person. As a musician. But most importantly, as an artist.

Until the next time I am active in this account - this is a goodbye. Thanks.

Megalovania Is Not A Genre - Misfortune [Cover]

Sample comes from the great limited animated series, Pluto. Typical gear, Scarlett, EHB1005MS, Schecter Demon 7, Darkglass Alpha Omega 900. Can't find myself to write an angry riff, kind of disappointing.

(You Might Learn) All Sorts Of Things

I was listening to the newer songs from Last Chance to Reason, and thought, "I can write a creepy heavy verse riff like that". It did not come out the way I anticipated, but had its own flavor so I rolled with it.

Originally I was not going to add vocals to it at all, however, I was inspired after a phone call with one of my close friends regarding one of our mutual friend's destructive behavior. This is very likely to become part of Iscah's next project, Instructions Unclear.

Lyrical inspiration is based on a flame burning too fast, too bright. An Icarus flying too close to the sun too soon. A man at wits end, burning the candle at both ends.

Your destination undefined
Your life is so self-undermined 
There are no answers for you here
The shadow you create by burning all that you hold dear
It’s enough

Duly Noted (Iscah Demo 2024)

This started as a piano melody for a hip-hop song I was working on. I had a shower-thought of this bass line which matched the key of the pressure in my showerhead. It was this bouncing bass and rolling bass groove, and immediately I realized the shower head bass groove and the hip-hop track I started months ago were in the same key.

Hemlock Groove

Singer-songwriter and a primary writing force in Iscah.

I want to do covers, collaborate, or write for you. My voice is mostly suited for modern metal/progressive metal (djent). However, I love many differing styles of music and can work with whatever you have in mind. So don't let the pedigree deceive you. I am no producer, so almost everything I have here is a demo. I also love playing bass and writing grooves. My skill is not solely vocals if you wish. Metal bass is just one color in my palette. I can also be a consult and objective ear/suggestive mind for your writing.
