NEW ALBUM ART RELEASED!

The new album art is finally done! It looks amazing! Nyarko did an incredible job! Check them out below I have widgets for all three Volumes:


Good Stress and Bad Stress and Awesome News

Posting and updating is even harder now because I have a new job and that’s taking up most of my time and I have no internet and with recent findings… I won’t be getting internet until I get my own place which won’t be for a year probably. Things are good stressful and bullshit stressful right now. How to deal with anxiety? I don’t know right now. It’s really hard. Some things stress me out more at home than they do anywhere else so going to work is almost a godsend in itself. The job I’m doing really isn’t that hard. But it’s a learning experience and it’s a great one. One I hope that by moving up I won’t have to do much school. Which that means less loans to pay back. I like that. The less debt the better.

I’m really just saving towards my own place for me and my girlfriend because things are just way to stressful where we’re at. Having to live with other people besides the one you want to be with causes so much extra unnecessary stress that you don’t need that wrecks your body. Honestly my health is being affected by it.

People talking behind your back. Making you feel like shit. Things like this happen in my situation and you have to suck it up and deal with it or you’re on the street. Taking beatings left and right. But I digress, it could be worse. Such is life. But I’m going to be getting out hopefully very soon with the woman I love and around people I want to be around.

I have in the works, a great thing coming soon! I have someone that might be able to do some amazing album artwork for me for my Shin Megami Tensei inspired albums: In The Shadows. He has extraordinary art and he looks like he should be working for ATLUS, that’s how good he is. Here’s his deviant art to check him out:

So this is semi-confirmed. We’re still writing back and forth on the details, but I for one am excited. I want to see this grow beyond my music. Into amazing fan created material and universe that could get recognized by ATLUS and the world! More people who play games should know about Shin Megami Tensei and how awesome it is. Especially people who are burnt out of Square Enix.

Speaking of In The Shadows, I have added something to Volume 4 setlist on Soundcloud. Take a listen for me and let me know how I’m doing! 😀


Nerding Out

Ok so by reading my blog you’ve probably guessed that I’m a huge Persona fan, for crying out loud I make fan music! 😀 Anyways I’m nerding out hardcore right now over a new trailer. Now I’ve known about this for a while. And I’m very very excited for this. I own this already on the Playstation, but, my Shin Megami Tensei collection must be complete! I’m talking about Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on the PSP! Check out the trailer below:

There we go. Now that I’ve nerded out completely. I must now announce another big update. New song that I just uploaded signals a new album release that I feel will be even greater than ITSV3. First I’ll let you listen to the song:

In The Shadows Reincarnation. What it is: New tracks and remixes. All the Persona OSTs have Reincarnation OSTs that do the same thing. So I thought I’d have a go at it. You see when I completed In The Shadows Volume 3 I evolved right at the end. It also didn’t get pushed forward until I saw that the tracks: Never Gonna Give You Up, Give It Up (Your Illusion), and Social Link Me were getting very popular. So here’s to a rebirth of sorts and hopefully a funky fun album! Stay tuned!


It’s ALIVE!

In The Shadows Volume 3 is AVAILABLE! Free Download! Only 85 left! After that I have to wait until the 22nd to have more free downloads 😀

Awesome Stats!

So having been campaigning quite a bit for Ron Paul and such I had put my music on a back burner. Totally forgetting to check things I log in to my deviant art account while looking for some cool Ron Paul art. Suddenly I see I have 58 notifications, it’s all from the Persona group I asked to join. As I’m looking through the new Persona art fans had uploaded I noticed a journal entry about Persona Fan Music. I had asked the creators of the group if they’d possibly check out my Persona inspired music and help give me a plug, well they did! And they sure gave me a huge one! Right now, for the past week, I’m sitting on more stats than I’ve ever had in a single month…or six!

Plug for the group:

New Youtube Video Evoke!

Another song that will be featured on the 3rd Volume of In The Shadows, Evoke! For anyone that’s played Persona 3 and seen how the players evoke their persona’s I hope this song captures a bit of that. Even found a great Persona audio clip to put in there. This is by far one of my favorite darker tracks in my In The Shadows series. Please Subscribe to my Channel and Like my videos please 🙂 Help me get the word out!

 


Thanatos In My Mind

Just finished up Hadou’s remix! He should be getting it soon and you’ll be able to hear it on his upcoming album 🙂 To hear a bit of a preview, check out the set list below:

I’ve also got a new song to throw in to the mix. Now you should know that I’m making the 3rd Volume to my In The Shadows series and I love the way it’s coming around. Not much hype seems to be going around for this Volume, but I think it’s my favorite one, and encompasses all my styles. Here’s the new song:


Shin Megami Tensei Fan Music

I am a huge fan of Shin Megami Tensei. Especially the Persona series but I still love it all. And with that I wanted to make music that sounded similar to the game’s soundtrack. The music is just one of the many amazing things I love about this game franchise. Shoji Meguro is an amazing composer and I love every bit of music he has made for these games. Now I’m just a beginner musician. But I put as much as I could into these songs until I felt they gave me a Shin Megami Tensei feel. But tell me what you think! My albums are free to download and can be found on my Bandcamp page. Click the album covers below to go to each album. Please send me your feedback as well! Let me know if you want to hear more!


In The Shadows Volume 2

Finally finished up all my tracks for my Shin Megami Tensei inspired album. These games are very close to me and are my favorite. Not only that but the music that Shoji Meguro makes for these games are works of art and pure genius. This is what inspired me to make music in the aspect of Shin Megami Tensei. So without further delay here’s the link to In The Shadows Volume 2!
