I made a (metal) record

Back in March my band and I rented some equipment and spent a day recording a bunch of our tunes. Then i spent a month mixing that amateur mess. Then we all sort of forgot about it. And then a couple days ago I finally put it on bandcamp. We recorded live with just a couple overdubs on the guitars for depth so what you hear on tape is us in our sloppy, noisy prime.

It's 33 minutes of instrumental sludge/doom, with a few hints of post metal sprinkled in. There is talk of adding some vocals at some point. Give it a listen, or download it cause hey -- it's free.

It surprises me very little that this is great. MF doesn't fuck around. He's a talented SOB.

Thanks man, probably gonna stay instrumental. We talked about adding vocals to a couple songs but i doubt that'll happen.

The band used to be a once-a-week freeform jam kind of thing but one of the guys works away from home for 2 out of 3 weeks so we don't get to play much these days.

Thanks, it's cool to know that people are still listening to it. Wish we had time to jam more so we could write more tunes. :(
