"Fields of Snow" is my new album that was just recently released. All music, recording, mixing, and artwork/photography was done by yours truly. I am an amateur who lurks these boards quite a bit. My monitoring/recording setup is quite modest compared to many here, and I apologize for my lacking mixing and production skills!
If I was forced to put it in a genre, I would describe it as Atmospheric metal with some symphonic elements. In general my influences are Agalloch, Alcest, and While Heaven Wept, though for the most part I try to keep to my own style. I've had friends describe it as "easy-listening" metal, which I would kind of agree with.
Around the time I was writing this album I was reading quite a bit about the suicides of David Foster Wallace and Hart Crane, so while the first track is more upbeat, the rest is a bit more somber overall. I sincerely hope this doesn't come off as pretentious, but as much as this sort of thing can have a story, this album is about a man committing suicide by falling backwards off a bridge.
This is about 9 months of work for me, and there's no minimum on the download price so please check it out!
