ABOUT LIFELESS BLESSED

Lifeless Blessed is a solo black metal project I started back in 2003. Basically, I wanted to write and record a black metal album, so I did.

Over time I had acquired a Squire electric guitar, a 100W Marshall half-stack (which would later be stolen out of my truck), a Yamaha electronic drum set (not that great, but it got the job done), a Yamaha Keyboard, a G3 iBook, and a MOTU 828MKII firewire recording interface. Add in some cables, tuners, picks, sticks, a borrowed microphone, lots of beer, and a few months of work and you get the Truths Untold EP.

Truths Untold is a five track EP that I recorded with the equipment above in my apartment bedroom (hence the electronic drums). All music and lyrics were written and performed by me.

The vocals you hear on the EP are actually the second round of vocals I tried. Originally, I had recorded more Black Metal style vocals (higher pitched, scratchy scream type; think Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir). However, the mic I had (before I borrowed one) made the vocals sound really bad and really soft. Therefore, I re-recorded the vocals Death Metal style (lower pitch, growl type; think Opeth). I ended up liking these better at the time, due to recording quality, though to this day still struggle between which style vocals I really want on the EP. For that reason, I actually made two discs of the EP: disc one with vocals, and disc two without.

Truths Untold was finished in 2004. Since then, I have begun working on new material, but due mostly to the fact that I didn't really like the drum sounds on the EP and even more so the fact that my half-stack got stolen out of my truck while transporting it to a gig I was playing with another band, I have postponed recording any more music. I have plans to eventually record a full album, and I have been working on new material over time, but we'll see if that ever really happens.

'Til then, enjoy the music. I appreciate the support and compliments, as well as constructive criticism.

ABOUT TRAGIC DAWN

I first got into metal at the end of high school. During my first two years of college, a couple of friends and I formed a trio metal band. We called ourselves Tragic Dawn. It took quite a while to settle on a name, but it was a fun process. The Tragic Dawn trio was:

Paul Kubezca (lead guitar)
Justin Scheldorf (rhythm guitar)
Brian Zwahr (drums)

We wrote and played mostly black metal style music. It was a lot of fun and we had some good times practicing and playing for friends and family in Paul's bedroom. We actually played live, once, at a now closed (and converted into a church) bar called Otto's in Brenham, TX. We played the only three songs we had written. For a mostly country-esque bar, we received a much better response that any of us had expected.

We never found a vocalist, so everything we did was instrumental. As time goes on, I've come to prefer it that way. Knowing that we have no vocals over our music forced us to make music that could be listened to on its own. 

After we had written and rehearsed our three main songs (and other snippets and ideas) we decided we should get them down onto tape, lest we forget them and/or they get lost to time. Therefore, we took a crappy little one-speaker tape player, put it in one corner of Paul's room, hit record, and played our songs from the other corner of the room in one take. Later, we added to the tape our other song ideas and such (which we called "bonus tracks"), but the original recordings was a short spoken introduction and the first three songs. We never got around to naming the songs (except for the third).

Speaking of the third song, during the process of adding the "bonus" tracks, the second half of the song (which completely changed styles and really completed the song) got erased. What we have left today is only the first half.

We all moved our separate ways, and the band naturally disbanded. Luckily, however, we still have copies of the music that is the legacy of Tragic Dawn.

I first touched turntables in  '97...
But to be more precise music really wasn't much to me until I got confronted with breakbeat hardcore in 1992... 
The moment I stood in the "T-Stube" in my home town of Rendsburg and a friend played "trip II the moon  (Kaleidoscopiklimax Mix)" by Acen changed everything...
"this is the trip"... This clear SOUND coming on, partially morphing to BASS... and then the breaks... and, wtf is that an aeroplane starting... lol.. I heard THAT about techno....
THEN: PIANO!High pitched vocals! Another build up!
I like to believe I tried to dance when the beat came back, but I probably still stood in awe, confusedly  thinking "WTF is GOING ON HERE? This is MAD! "
I had found THE SOUND... capitals are nowhere enough to describe it .. just add some "!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!" and see a soulless world where people think,. radio has music, disappear in a pale haze on the horizon.
Then Techno, Psy, House, Hardcore and Trance, 
Rediscovering (and loathing for quite while) Jungle (Wait, wasn't DnB like Breakbeat? This sounds like sped up ragga!) and HAPPy HARDCORE (So, wait,  this is what breakbeat became?But... this sounds like german or dutch stuff!).
The overall madness that is raving... or clubbing... or partying... or dancing... 
select a term that's chic in your favorite style or venue, done all that, but if it's NOT raving when you think about it you're probably DOING IT WRONG.
And if you think "WTF, I'M NOT A RAVER!" just now,  look up the word.

This is electronic music after all, real serious bizness!
 LOVING THE MUSIC... as long as it's good... or something...  *cough*

The track was done in pro tools. I mostly used strings and piano throughout the track.  This is because I didn't have access to many plugins that I liked. I also wanted to keep it simple given that it was one of my first projects and didnt want to over do it. I didn't want to add a lot of elements otherwise it would be too confusing. 

For the collaboration project I used piano keys with a simple drum pattern. The idea was to make it the opposite of complex while catchy.

For Dance again I used a high pitched bass pattern that would be memorable. It runs throughout the track. I used another bass sound except this one syncs well with the first one. Lastly I used a light clean synth pattern as a follow up  for the bass patterns to make the track easy to understand.

Vendetta is an Industrial/Groove Metal band hailing from New Delhi. Formed at the outset of February 2011,  The six-piece band derives influences from various different genres such as industrial, psychedelic, ambient, experimental, metalcore etc. Our music is an intelligent and ground-breaking mixture of all these elements. Primarily the band follows industrial metal giants like Rammstein, Deathstars, NIN and our music is highly inspired by them.

The band has a keen interest towards making original material and has complied enough material to make it into a couple of songs up till now. As a group of people coming from different musical backgrounds, the band always wanted to show its musical depth by making songs ranging from slow melodic ballads to groovy riff-oriented destructive metal anthems.

The band has a sweet tooth towards breakdowns which started out as simple but has been evolving due to an ever-increasing level of complexity in our songs as the band progresses. Our music highly depends upon keyboards providing a dark, psychedelic and ambient element to our songs. The guitars are rhythmic and groovy at times with breakdowns being the meat of the songs. Occasional solos and fills have been given a keen importance. Drumming is typically double bass centered being groovy at the same time with the bass providing the same as well.

The band decided upon keeping vocals high-pitch,an amalgamation of aggressive growls and soft tones as we don't believe in compromising with the feel of the song. Our music is dark, hypnotic and brings an interesting orchestral twist to run-of-the-mill Industrial Metal with keyboards at the pinnacle of the band's sound which is followed by groovy bass patterns, patterned drums and heavy riffage. To add to that, high pitched-vocals and occasional growls which are fused with fiils, guitar solos and breakdowns give the band ample space to experiment with their music and create a sonic atmosphere unforeseen.

The band has been playing a lot of gigs in and around the Delhi music circuit for a while now which includes performances at well-known pubs like Turquoise Cottage, Vasant Vihar, and Chicane, Noida apart from various other venues, colleges and competitions all over Delhi and other areas. The band hopes to progress with passing time as a band, musically and otherwise by gaining exposure, playing live gigs and strengthening its stronghold in the Delhi music scene.
