In Misery

Some darkwave goth/rock I'm involved in (cd's and website and gigs on the way)

Hammeron

Just skipped thru them. Well produced of course.
Reminds me a bit of the 80's stuff like Yazoo and The Pet Shop Boys. Only, a bit, I dunno, darker. And a bit like Type O Negative. Not saying it sounds like them only it reminds me of them.
Too electronic for my tastes, not enough guitars.But well done.
Do you do the vocals?

majestikc

Depeche Mode maybe?

No, I don't sing, I help write and play keyboards and bass and some guitars and record and mix etc, it's supposed to be like goth-rock-industrial-manson/rammstein/other stuff/type-o etc

It's definitely for a more particular crowd.

Album II will be the real deal though, better music and production and everything.

I quite like it ......well done. Surprisingly melodic as well.....and that's a compliment ?

BMU

Sounds really good. A bit slow and pondering for me personally, but I totally get what you're going for, rezpect. Ever listen to Girls Under Glass? Love the Zyklus album. Same baaaaasic neck of the woods just faster, more energy. But this is good.

PS - I like Spiteful Message much less than the others. Sounds too old school industrial / early 90s Frontline Assembly. (My 2c worth)

Averatu

Somewhere Rammstein and Diary of Dreams, well executed.

Dude, I like these. I'd have to sheepishly admit to not really being familiar with Manson / Rammstein / Type-O etc. but Depeche Mode... hell yes! And Hammeron nailed it with Yazoo and Pet Shop Boys. I can see myself listening to your album in my car.

Oh, and interestingly, I think I preferred "Spiteful Message" to the others. But that shows how different people have different tastes and I think it's great if you can satisfy more than one crowd with one album.

Koowl, thanks for that (sent everything to the printer [Hybrid Media] yesterday actually to do 1000 cd's so soon you can buy one if you want).

Album number II will be a LOT more heavy but also has a couple pretty upbeat catchy tracks so far, plus the production will destroy this first one.

Alan?

majestikc

Yebbo, you found me out

Although it's 2 l's and an E

evolucian

^Cool man... howdy ?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing the stuff from the second one... some nice ideas on it already. If you say the production will kill this one... then I'm really looking forward to hearing it. You guys did well on this nonetheless.

What did I tell you, its not a small world, its a fish bowl.

Yazoo? Pet shop boys? Oh yes because all music with a synth must be 80s pop. Only on GFSA.

Pffft... you know it is. Don't pretend you're doing metal or something with it... we all know your secret love ?

Music that is synth driven reminds me more of Yazoo and the Pet Shop boys than it does of Metallica and Testament, or would you disagree ?
I never suggested that In Misery was 80's pop.

majestikc

As long as you buy a cd when they're ready in a couple weeks time then you can call it what you like.

Let me guess, it's also only on GFSA where steel drums remind people of Calypso. What a bunch of retards aren't we... ???

majestikc

this music has a hi-hat in it..............it sounds like jazz to me ?

Bwaahaaa. Hey I wear my geeklove for Duran Duran proudly on my sleeve!

Anyway no further derail, good stuff, buy the CD as the man says. I salute the OP's grace and fortitude for not getting offended at being compared to Pet Shop Boys. ?
