Ok... Here is my last post here.... I'm moving to wordpress for a lot of reasons, the biggest is that I don't like blogger as much anymore... I'm moving to wordpress for that and for the fact that I don't like the idea that blogger and youtube are always connected... For other reasons.
Anyway I am doing a wordpress blog now on a lot of different topics, my bands music is one of them...
Other topics include Professional Wrestling, Doom Mods and Mapping, Slaughtermaps, Challenge Runs, Personal Issues with anything, Black Metal scenes around the world, and more...
A lot of topics to cover, and I've only covered 2 so far.. A lot of posts so far but very few views... I want to increase that so I've decided to blog here about my new blog...
If you like the topics above follow me at:
rancidabomination.wordpress.com
Ok People. This is my last post here, so if you want updates on my bands check that blog out... I won't be back here... Ever...

Unleashing Vengeance records a Final EP, "Let the Darkness Pass Away"...
I, Zakk Asshole of Unleashing Vengeance spent all of today recording 8 new songs.... These aren't completely new, they are cut songs from the last Unleashing Vengeance cd "The Final Crusade" and remakes of songs from "Cosmos" and "The Wrath of Tah-um" with thrash vocals instead of death/black metal vocals.
The new EP is interesting. it has a mix of blackened thrash, progressive thrash, symphonic metal, raw black metal and symphonic black metal... Each of the 5 cut songs is a different style. None sound similar. Track 1 is blackened thrash. Track 2 is symphonic metal, track 3 is progressive thrash, track 4 is raw black metal, track 5 is symphonic black metal with thrashy riffs like Rancid Abomination or something like that. That makes this the most varied unleashing vengeace cd ever.
The cd was mixed today and I had a hard time mixing it again. I finally got it right 2 tries in and had to remaster the previous cd to fix that as well... It took a while to do this because I was working on filming a documentary about the making of this cd, similar to the one I filmed for the last cd..
Anyway, this is our last original cd... Don't plan to do anymore. The stress of having to mix stuff is pissing me off that I need to stop doing it now. I had to remix each of the 4 cd's we did this year 2+ times, sometimes 3X times as well.. It's a bitch... So I am quitting. No more Unleashing Vengeance. Won't have time to do anymore anyway due to something else in my life anyway... (A job I may be getting soon).
Here is the documentary for this cd...
here is the link to the cd.
Here is a documentary for the making of the last cd...
Here is the video for the title track of the current cd...
RIP Unleashing Vengeance 2002-2018....

Unleashing Vengeance records it's final CD....
3 Days ago me and Kirk S. wrote 20 new songs for the last cd for unleashing vengeance. We then split up and that left me with the duty of doing vocals and mixing the final tracks for a new album, which I am calling the final crusade. Since Kirk decided to split up with Me afterwards, due to me not wanting to continue the band, he will join some other local Boston Rock/Metal band later. Unleashing Vengeance then had it's final recording session for a full album today when my parents were out.
Since I didn't know how long they would be out and at what time, I had to get up really early this morning. Way too early.... I waited patiently for my parents to leave so I could record vocals... And I started working on a documentary showing off what I was doing at the same time... I started filming myself around Noon and showed off me recording lead vocals around 12:30. By 2 PM the cd was fully recorded... I had it fully mixed by tonight...
It's over. Unleashing vengeance's final cd is done. It's called the Final Crusade and has 11 songs on it.
2 of those 11 are instrumentals. The other 9 got vocals and were recorded today. Came out good minus the production, which could be better...
Here is a little sample from the new cd.... The best track that was recorded...
Anyway... This cd has amazing music but the production has issues, like the last few... Vocals were recorded way too quiet... You can barely hear them and there is some clipping issues here and there... But besides that it's fine. Songs were fun to record.... I ended up doing backing vocals for a few songs last night before going to bed early so I could get up early this morning...
Music wise, this cd is a mix of Blackened Thrash and Symphonic Metal. Some songs are one style others are the other, a few are a hybrid mix. A few have folk melodies but that is rare on this cd anyway. More have classical styled melodies than folk melodies. Vocals are a mix of thrash and black metal vocals plus some clean vocals on 2-3 songs...
This is the last full unleashing vengeance cd that will be done. But don't worry, there will be 2 more releases for Unleashing Vengeance, a greatist hits compilation and an EP.....
Since Unleashing Vengeance is done, I decided that I would continue my solo project Homcidal Hammerfist in it's wake... There will be a new album for HH by the End of the month....

Unleashing vengeance returns as a 2 piece and makes plans to record as many albums as possible...
Ok here is some good news for Unleashing Vengeance fans... The breakup we had was only temporary. We parted with our drummer - Peter Fletcher.... We decided to split up but come back later to do a few more cd's for the summer... Starting with a new one Me and Kirk "Captain Crunch" Stabbati are working on now... The new lineup is stable for now... I ended up taking the role of drummer again, something I have done in the past. I actually did the drums on all recent cd's by Unleashing vengeance (Cosmos and later). So this is no different...
Me and kirk started jamming some new songs out today... We recorded tracks for 8 new songs for a new album which now has a title "I fall"... The music for this new cd, is frankly, Amazing. It is the third we did with a full on blackened thrash feel to it. The actual black metal parts are absolutely stunning on this cd.... The thrash parts are quite nice as well.. It sounds great!
I filmed an update several hours after kirk and I finished mixing tracks... Here it is... It's on Dailymotion rather than youtube. I've jumped from Youtube to dailymotion over youtube issues so that's why this update is there... Watch the update, I showed off previews of the new music there...
It's good to be back. Unleashing vengeance had a little split up last weak after recording Dawn of Stupidity. We had to go back to square one. I somehow got kirk on board with doing more stuff with UV for a while... Since he helped with every single UV cd out there, including old shit from 2002, it felt natural to have him doing guitars again. No one else can do the riffs I need for UV. Not even guitar gods like Wylde could pull this off.
This could be the best damn thrash cd ever recorded people. it's that good. It's complex, emotional, speedy, dark sounding, CATCHY, and has tons of black metal elements thrown in. Some songs lack keyboards... I chose not to do keyboards for a few tracks... Decided leads needed to be added in in places. I played some guitar on this cd doing lead work on tracks 2 and 4.
Anyway, I hope this cd comes out good. It won't be released till next monday at the latest. Still up in the air.

New Unleashing Vengeance CD Recorded today....
Today I worked on a new unleashing vengeance cd I wrote with the other UV guys 3 days ago.... This one is a completely different animal then the last cd we wrote together which was Slaughter the Innocent. This one is a Blackened Thrash CD....
Entitled Dawn of Stupidity it focuses on controversial and personal lyrics that fall into similar categories... It's not a concept album but the some of the songs have similar concepts... Track 1 is an intro followed by track 2 which is a thrashy opener about the censorship of comic books in the 1940's by Fredric Wertham and the comic code. Track 3 comes up next and is much more black metal oriented. It talks about the BS claim that all metal bands are racist or sexist, especially black metal ones. Track 4 hits you like a rock with thrashy as hell riffs. It's about a personal incident with someone who pretended to be a friend, yet harassed when I said I wasn't friendly with all my nephews and demanded I talk a job he offered. What an ass!
Track 5 is much more black metal oriented, at least in it's first half. The second half is a lot more thrashy. The whole song is around 9 minutes long and it's the longest song on the album. Lyrically it's about trolling by gaming communities, something I've been a victim of. Track 6 is the first about a concept 3 songs on the album deal with, the moral panic surrounding video game violence after the Parkland School Shooting. Track 6 itself is about Matt bevin blaming video games for the shooting. Track 7 is an instrumental and is about how russian bots fueled the moral panic or even created it. Track 8 is about how the President wants to lock up all Autistic people in mental institutions. It's very personal. The final track is about the game duke nukem 3d.
I think the cd came out good.. It has echoey vocals which are a bit quiet and hard to hear at times. One track has some minor clipping issues.. The rest are fine... I had to remix it to fix it and unfortunately the songs on jamendo from the cd are the unfixed versions for now... Doesn't really matter though.... Here is a link to the cd...
