[Anj_Foglight]

One of my favourite RadG beats!

Sick flows as per your usual!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks for the love on the instrumental.
Since I'm credited I can't review so I'll do it here:
What a soothing song! The vocals are delivered with a relaxed ease that compliments the subjects. It's got a somber melancholy but also warm like a lullaby. Great work.

[Gold Tooth]

Yoooo, sick lines B!

Glad to see you're posting again!

[Anjovi Windigo [Mixtape]]

Always a fresh mind you bring with your rhymes Anj!

Anjovi responds:

Thanks Libby! Red Room was such a satisfying track to work on!
Hope your day's good!

[memoir of a disgruntled zombie survivor]

Damn, this is giving me some major Frontalot vibes. Hilarious!

Great use of the Bill Withers 'Use Me' drum loop. Love that break.

[Legend of Mana]

This is dope! Great cover!

satanicpotatoe responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[Retributive Justice (Skizzo Diss)]

God damn! That was sick!

Now I wanna try to write some shit to battle you to
Grab a map, a boat, a bucket and a mop to paddle through my silly stew
I've got the strongest bud too! Here, burn one down with me
You say you don't write bars stoned? I doubt that muchly. I think you straight clownin', G!
I'll write some shit, spit it quick, and hang myself from the Liberty statue
Then they might be proud of me only because the president saw me catch you
I'll say it loudly, I come out strong, but my message is imperfect
Aisle eight is cloudy. Time to rub some cows, but I frown now that my nut is wrecked to shit
Oh, this line? That's my little fine Purple Gherkin Dick
Here, bend over and I'll show you how to work it, quick
While I twerk it, slit my wrists eat a diseased tick and tear it off so I can serve it to you raw
Oh, fuck! What's that noise? Bird caw
Verse maw, purse law, worst jaw; Just swerve, God!
Cursed with Lurch shit; Where the hell is Wednesday, now?
Oh, wow! You're married and in Jail, now?
I guess you stopped the pen spray because of her loudmouth?
It must have hurt when she fell from heaven and found out your dick was slurped
By some dude you met at church, behind a pew, he was your first
Here comes the money shot! Look out! (Boom, pow!)
Your vanity plate's draggin' sick pus and the afterbirth instead of white spew
You better call a nurse, Kwing
Your balls are berries, and your stick's a twig missing its ring (Oh, it's blue? Cute!)
I think I saw it at the bottom of a well
You'd better get Samara to teach you how to use your Speak 'n Spell
I'm a witch casting blasts from the past while fasting
Heart palpitations got me hurting like the Dickens
I don't really think you can best what I be shittin'
I'll cut your organs open and hang you from the ceiling that I'm currently collapsing

[Let Light Free Thought]

Atmosphere so thick you cut it with a knife!

That intro reminds me of the opening to the first Black Sabbath record. Sick synths throughout that part. Where'd you source the rain/thunder sample from?

Oo, those are some nice cleans. Sounds kind of like Buckethead's Colma. What guitars, pedals, and amps do you use?

I'm digging that drum tone! That snare is tuned just right! 😍

Have you ever heard of Boris? The middle sounds a lot like their Flood record.

Sick chune mate! Got any Sludgier riffage in the pipes?

MoldyGangstaHero responds:

For the thunder sample I used to have a Splice subscription and I got almost all of the samples off there.

All of the guitar stuff was written using a Yamaha Pacifica I got in 2022 when I first learned how to play the guitar. Usually I would just plug it directly into the audio interface but I bought a pedalboard around when I started recording this album. It mostly used a distortion (Boss DS-1) and a wah (Dunlop Crybaby) but some sections, particularly the clean tone ones, used a chorus (Boss CH-1) or a delay (Boss DD-3T). I had the output sent to a Vox Pathfinder 10 which then went to my audio interface. I think the guitar in this song being in Drop A# also contributes to the sound to an extent

I can definitely see the Boris comparison, the album this is from is based off of the very lush and atmospheric soundscapes of stoner metal, particularly Sleep and Elder. Thought it would be fun to combine it with progressive metal songwriting

I do actually have an album similar to this called "The Land of Kwælghemagea" that goes full on stoner/doom/sludge metal. It came out last July but I've only uploaded it to Newgrounds just now https://www.newgrounds.com/album/452532/the-land-of-kwaelghemagea

[Futile]

This is amazing! Why am I just now finding out about you? You are one of the Hidden Gems of the Audio Portal, that's for sure.

Love the subject matter. Trying to find hope from hopelessness.

I can also gladly state that I have found the perfect song to open the soundtrack to my second novel! Thanks!

[In The Dark]

I love everything about this! The drums remind me of Danny Carey, but the guitars aren't as... I dunno, dark, I guess? There's a sense of optimism to this that I love.

Your vocal delivery reminds me of a cross between Michael Barnes form Red and Nathan Winchell's cleans from A Hope for Home.

Oo, those growls at 3:57 were sweet! I wish this track had more of them.

If there's one thing I'd say about this, it's that it is far too short.

Also, I'd kill for a lyric sheet! If they're not already up, would you mind my transcribing them and posting them to Genius?
