Black Metal.

[CiG]

anybody familiar with the Black Twilight Circle and if anything related to it being worth its grit?

Arizmenda and Volahn imo are the two strongest bands and Axeman released my favourite recording of the lot but they only released two demo tapes.

This is fucking crusty as fuck! I kind of wish they would ease up on the crash though. Wish this could get a proper production treatment.

That demo sounds amazing played through a decent sound system actually, it is a little hard on the ears if you can't alter the balance of the audio.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

yea i'm using some crappy headphones atm. the audio leans kind of right. Maybe i can just throw it into ableton and create my own master. I've been running some LP's through my SP 404 to get some bitcrush on em. Shit slays!

 

[CiG]

Yeah man it's really fucking handy to be able to do stuff like that.

Fuck listening to the Axeman demo tapes on headphones though, holy shit that would be ear annihilation.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

haha going for that blistering tinnitus level of no-fi immersion

Dude, I'm so weary of fucking my hearing up after being on this forum and hearing all the horror stories.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I know so many old heads who've destroyed their hearing over the years. I try to be conservative with headphone use, but it's hard when I have to pretty much live in the library these days.

If it makes you feel any better, mine is equal parts loud music and working in a machine shop for 2 years and its pretty tolerable for the most part. occasionally get a spike.

 

[CiG]

I've never been much of a headphones guy and loud concerts are a rarity here in Perth so by pure random luck my hearing is still quite perfect.

But every now and then I get ear pops or a sharp ear pain in one ear and I freak out.

Mine is not sound/noise related, so there's that.

This is really cool and doesn't overstay it's welcome, but I don't think it's black metal.

 

[Einherjar86]

I agree, something else is happening when you attend to the whole sound. There's a layer of black metal, but it's not the driving aesthetic.

Oh?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Oh?

?

 

[CiG]

?

What is it related to?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... no clue and none of the doctors that i've seen have helped me out in the least. I've narrowed it down to either major stress i was going through at the time, a sinus infection that i had, some type of incorrect shoulder/back workout, or some ibuprofen(which is known to be ototoxic) i took for the pain i was experiencing from said workout session

I never blast my music and don't go to shows anymore so it definitely isn't sound related. But my hearing/ears are more sensitive now and i get temporary spikes(few seconds to minutes) from loud noises.
