Pay-what-you-want, as always.


Mindblowing music. I've listened to it through once and i think this one might be my favorite of his so far. "Seattle" is such a good song.

he is nearby me, Columbus. hmmm interesting. Sounds good! Do you know any info on the recordings? real drums and bass?

 

[Revson]

I wish he would record some real drums. Sick music nonetheless.

 

[badmotor]

Like his music, but don't like the artificial POD guitar sounds. And the drums still sound pretty one-dimensional.

ben is one of my favorite musicians on the planet.

Production sucks, music rules.

 

[drew_drummer]

Out of all of those 'in the box metal bands' type things, Cloudkicker has the best production values imho. Beacons slays everything I've ever heard from Periphery/Bulb, Chimp Spanner, etc... in terms of production.

I guess I'm a fanboi though!

 

[Star Ark]

Beacons is one of the greatest things I've ever heard, the guy is fucking amazing

 

[LeSedna]

Hum who is this guy ? I am ignorant in terms of bedroom warrior celebrities like this. I listened to "Seattle" and found it very nice.

Go download Beacons right now. It's one of my favourite albums ever.

This guy is from the same city as me, yet none of my musician friends in the metal scene know him. He must be a hermit or something

thats kinda what i was thinking. I am in Dayton...never heard of this guy before...

You promise me it's not tech-prog metal ala djent-djent-omania ?

I'm gonna do that then I loved what I head on this release so far so I might give it a try.

 

[bogchop]

Beacons is definitely a great album. Lots of great tunes on there.

The guy likes to keep to himself, and seems to be a bedroom warrior because he doesn't like dealing with other musicians (totally understandable!).

 

[Star Ark]

After a few listens I think this one needs some vocals. I can see myself listening a couple more times and that's about it. Doesn't have much to latch onto for me where Beacons was pure instrumental joy

 

[mva801]

VERY good stuff. I'll pick it up but I agree it could use some vocals. Sounds like he has some pretty heavy ISIS influence, which I do as well. Also kinda wishing he had some real drums on there...
