I originally wrote all the music for the cd last night... I didn't want this one to sound like the last 2. I listened to them and they don't really sound like Rancid Abomination Cd's. They have the melodies needed but lack the thrashy riffs, intense drumming and sick lyrics. The drumming is too experimental on them and the thrashy rhythm guitars are replaced by black metal chords... I didn't like that... Rancid Abomination was supposed to be different than most black metal bands, not taking influences from them, so In a fit of disappointment I wrote the music for the new cd last night..
I decided to go down an oldschool route taking influences from old 2004-2005 Rancid Abomination only, like stuff I no longer have thanks to hard drive failures, like the cd's "Abhorrance and disgust", "CD 5" and others... I wrote very thrashy black metal with power metal touches and decided to change the production of the cd to be very close to what stuff in 2004 sounded like, using reverb on guitars and no amp simulator this time to make it sound more like a black metal cd. The song you see below is an example of what the new cd sound like....
I ended up writing 6 songs, and 1 was a massive instrumental that came out ok... All the others were really good though. The title track was actually the instrumental... The first song sounds really haunting and evil... Track 2 is heavy as hell... Track 3 is more uplifting... Track 4 is a massive symphonic black/thrash song, the next song is really fast and heavy and has cool melodies, and the final song has an exotic sound to it that is slower and yet very mystical sounding...
Lyrically track 1 is about the demons of hell finding out the anomalies on Phobos and Deimos (in the doom story) are being used by humans to teleport from one moon to the other. They then plot to start a demon invasion.... Track 2 is about how the demon leader (a cyberdemon) kills and posesses humans who went through the anomalies, turning them into former humans that attack mars in track 3, which is about the demonic invasion of phobos and the marines call to send flynn taggart to phobos.. Track 4 is the epic title track... Track 5 is about Flynn taggarts journey through Phobos and Deimos... It references phobos anomaly, Deimos, The Cyberdemon in Tower of Babel and more. Track 6 is about Flynn taggart's journey through hell and the showdown with the Spidermastermind boss...
The style of the new cd is something I really dig, it sounds a lot like oldschool RA is supposed to sound like... In fact it is so good that I think it is equally good as Abhorrance and disgust... That's amazing...
That's the good news, all of what I just said in this article up to this point..
Here's the bad news... This is Definitely the last Rancid Abomination CD. I simply cannot do any more... I don't have time... It sucks... But at least the last cd was amazing, right?
