Behold my first attempt at "Lovecraftian Black Metal!", Unscrupulous Vomit!

Well I have good and bad news people.. First the bad news.... Rancid Abomination is dead. It won't come back ever... I didn't feel like continuing with it. It's a long story. That is for some other time, maybe in another blog post. But what I did do is fix my software that broke while recording the new Homicidal Hammerfist. And with that I could actually do my most anticipated project of the whole year.... Behold "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn"!!!!!!

"Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn" is the debut album for my NEW Black Metal Project entitled "Unscrupulous Vomit"....  The album title comes from the story "The Call of Cthulhu" and is a phrase the cultists of Cthulhu say in the story itself. Rough  translation of it to english is "In his house at R'yleh, Dead Cthulhu lies dreaming"... As you can see Unscrupulous vomit is Cthulhu Mythos inspired.. In fact it's the first band to ever do what I call "Atmospheric Lovecraftian Black Metal"...

I recorded the first cd for this project in a 2 night span, last night and the night before. I started on the night before, recording an intro and an outro, which are both terrifying in nature... It involves me growling the title of the album (that crazy phrase "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn") in an evil voice over and over again... It gets more chorused as I go and eventually I recorded a scream that I lowered in pitch to emulate the voice of Cthulhu Himself, at the end of the intro. I took the intro and reversed it and made it an outro for the end of the cd, track 8. That also turned out toe be scary as hell...


Last night I recorded the vocals for the album for the 5 songs that have vocals. They all have a really scary, evil quality to them. The sound is atmospheric black metal, with quiet rhythm guitars mixed low in the mix, with loud reverberated lead guitars and keyboards mixed high in the mix. It sounds epic and scary. Add evil sounding melodies all over the place and amazing keyboard work and you have what I think is the scariest black metal album.... EVER!

The album came out amazing, I've listened to it a lot since I recorded it. I cannot believe just how scary it sounds. It's quite eerie sounding.  I think it's the best black metal album I've ever done... Check it out below:

Latest Homicidal Hammerfist has been Recorded, and it is my last cd I will ever do.... EVER.

Ok People.... Decided to write one more cd for my solo project Homicidal Hammerfist... You guys remember Homicidal Hammerfist right? It used to be a Blackened Power Metal band that did only instrumentals... Well we broke up last year and I reformed it as a solo project earlier this year as a black metal solo artist.  It sounded a lot different after this reformation, and I have never really liked this sound, it wasn't really blackened power metal. So I decided to rewrite it and try to make it sound a lot like the older stuff...

"Breeding the Necrophobic Dirge" is the new cd that I made today.  I woke up today and around 7 am started recording guitars. I finished around noon. I did 5 tracks worth, on both rhythm and lead. I added solos around 1 PM.  I finally did keyboards around 2:30 PM and added keyboards around 4 PM.  I got the sound perfect for this one. One thing that has kind of bothered me about older Homicidal Hammerfist is that it isn't well produced at all. I fixed that on this one...

The drums are clear and so are the guitars.  I used the same production for leads and other guitars on this cd as I used on the last Rancid Abomination, AKA the echoey sound... I think it fits well.. Besides that nothing was really added to the classic homicidal hammerfist sound. I like that. It sounds just like a HH cd should sound! The sound is pure blackened power metal, with good elements of symphonic black metal and raw thrashy power metal like Persuader added in.

Like before the songs on this cd were generated with a random song title generator. I was doing instrumentals like normal for this project (HH has never had vocals, ever, it's always done instrumentals only), and I wrote some disgusting song titles like the following:

Molested Angelic Cacophony
Extremely Swollen Whorebeast
Upchucked Satanic Brainstem
Soulless Fetal Extermination
Fist-Stretched Intestinal Damnation

They are so disgusting that 3/5 tracks needed to be censored on noisetrade!

So yeah these are bad.....

So here is the good news people...

The album sounds great, has no real issues and the guitar sound is amazing at times. Great solos and leads.. Good rythm guitars..  Great mood and atmosphere... Really evil sounding on 3/5 tracks, the other 2 are a little lighter...

Here's the bad news..

After mixing track 5 the mixing software I use broke badly and I cannot use it ever again... It sucks... That means this is the last cd I will ever write, ever... Period... I cannot do any more.. It pisses me off, but at  the same time I was planning this to be my last anyway.. I am going down that route of "retirement" from writing music now... I won't be coming back after this, it's over...

I regret  this but I cannot continue. Before I didn't want to continue, now I simply cannot do it due to stupid  technical reasons that piss me off.. I was planning another cd to be my final done this year and it was going to be Lovecraftian horror themed Black Metal. I really wanted to do that but now I cannot do that one at all and that upsets me a lot.. I don't know what to do but to quit now... It's over..

I've written music since 2000 people. 2000-2017, I have done songs all of those years... I am now quitting forever and I don't know what else to say....

I will still keep marketing my bands music online and do updates regularly. But I cannot do new cd's unless they are compilations or greatist hits. That sucks.. It bugs me greatly... This will not be the last blog post here but it will be the last new cd update type post...

No more cd's coming from me. I simply cannot do them anymore....

Sigh...

Rancid Abomination releases it's final CD "The Wrath of Hell" which is a throwback to oldschool Rancid Abomination stuff that was Blackened Thrash!

Good news people... I just finished another new Rancid Abomination CD.... This one is entitled "The Wrath of Hell" and it is a concept album based on the story of the Legendary FPS game Doom.  It is also a lot lot different than our last 2 cd's "Staring into the Eyes of Madness" and "Metaphysical torment", being a much more raw, thrashy cd with far far less Windir Influences, Summoning Influences and other similar influences....


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?

365 radio network and how they REFUSE to support GOOD METAL!

3 Years ago I submitted Unleashing Vengeance to 365 radio network.. They claim to support indie music, so I gave it a shot. Back then Unleashing Vengeance was on lots of crappy sites, soundcloud plays were dropping (this was before I learned about noisetrade and Jamendo) and UV was as underground as you can get. I hoped 365 radio network would listen and play our stuff. Well 5 days after I submitted UV to them, I got no response back. They didn't care.

They over-advertise the fact that they support indie metal. Well, they don't. Because they left Unleashing Vengeance off their rotation. It was stupid.  Ok... So Maybe Unleashing Vengeance isn't the best metal band ever, but it was good, right? Well... They seem to not want to submit any other of my bands either.

Recently, I was in the same situation with Dismembered September and Rancid Abomination, BOTH were failing, Miserably on soundcloud. Only 1 was doing good on Noisetrade.  So I submitted Rancid Abomination and Dismembered September to 365 radio network hoping it would help. So it's been 3 days so far since my submission.... Guess what. They haven't gotten back to me! This is infuriating.

Not that it matters much now since both bands are kicking ass on Jamendo but... They are both amazing bands... Both classics in the #newenglandstyle black metal movement from Massachusetts. Both are a very unique strain of black metal that is only found here among my bands. No one else is doing this style but me and my friends. We deserve to be showcased but no...

What's really infuriating is that, even though Dismembered September is not as good of a band, both bands are outstanding. Dismembered September used to be blackened thrash with the #newenglandstyle melodies over the thrashy riffs. But that is nothing compared to Rancid Abomination, which is maybe the most underrated black metal band out there. Rancid Abomination INVENTED #newenglandstyle melodies (where a note becomes a harmony and another note is played later and forms a harmony after that - all the lead guitars use this style).  There were no other bands before RA doing this style. I've listened to TONS of black metal and haven't heard it once. The closest you get is Cor Scorpii from Norway, but they aren't doing the same exact thing so they really aren't #newenglandstyle at all... So 365radionetwork says they will support indie metal but Ditched Rancid Abomination?! WTF!

Advice to metalheads. NEVER submit your music to internet radio. Go to Jamendo.com and upload it there instead. You will get way more exposure with that site than you will with crappy internet radio that refuses to play Rancid Abomination like 365radionetwork!

(C)Rapgate II: How Atom Collector Records Almost ruined my bands presence online

By now you are very familiar with (C)Rapgate.  But if you aren't you will see what I am talking about now... In december 2016 I was marketing my black metal band, Rancid Abomination, during it's reunion after 10 years of inactivity. I used the hashtag #unsignedartist because it was a solo artist. What happened, is some stupid rap fans all assumed RA was Rap! So they put it on a Rap List on twitter. I got tons of rap fans/promoters/DJ's/other stupid idiots liking all my tweets assuming RA (The most Black Metal of any black Metal Band!) Was Rap... This lead me to shut down my twitter for a while and only 1 month later did I recover from this and make another twitter page, but that one now only has 35 followers when the old one had 75 or so. See how idiot rap fans ruin a metal bands career?

Well that is really important to realize because they tried to do it AGAIN, this time to my current Black Metal Project Dismembered September, which was getting pitifully low plays on soundcloud. So I, in Desperation tried something advertised to me on soundcloud, Atom Collector Records. The premise was interesting but it failed miserably.

The premise is that you sign your band up to a site and get 10 "credits". You use them to place your song on rotation on a rotation for a specific genre. For me it was "Rock, Blues, Metal, Indie and Punk" because I was doing Black Metal.  I will get into why these genre BS is bad, but what is really bad is every time your song gets played you lose a credit and once you run out your song gets DISABLED, aka it cannot get more plays, whatosever.

So I tried it.

I got 1-2 plays per song. Great. This free "promotion" sucked ass. So I decided maybe I was doing it wrong. I learned that there was another way to use it. All I had to do was post their playlists. So I did that, I actually Posted playlists filled with 99% Junk music to get my bands noticed. Well it worked kind of. They reposted my music on their soundcloud page but guess what, It lead to A) NO Likes from any metalheads, B) Very few Plays and C) Stupid (C)Rappers liking it thinking it was Dumbass Afro (African American Fronted) Metal (Think Sevendust and shit like that) because I called it Black Metal. Either way it was crapgate all over again. It forced me to delete 4 soundcloud accounts filled with hundereds of followers, 100+ songs in total and worse, in fear of stupid Rappers liking my music more than they were doing so on soundcloud already.

So basically, DONT use Atom Collector Records if you are doing Metal on Soundcloud! you will NOT get exposure. All you will get is a bunch of (C)Raptards liking it. Because that's what was all over Atom Collector Record's Website, Rap, and other kinds of SHIT music like Trap, Electrotrap, Dubstep and worse. Those bands and artists were getting 1000's of plays, meanwhile bands like mine that were doing:

A) Unique melodic black metal with Folk Metal and power metal elements
B) Experimental Thrash with various kinds of  Folk Melodies and industrial elements
C) Blackened Death Metal with Prog, Doom and the Same folk melodies.
D) Blackened Power metal with no vocals...

Were getting PITIFUL plays (1 to 2 per hour) is what I got for doing that.
Meanwhile, On Jamendo.com I have gotten at least 60 plays per day and for the first band
I have gotten 263 plays per day! That is at least 10 times as much as before....

So in other Words...

DONT use Atom Collector Records. THEY SUCK!

All of my bands Ditch Soundcloud and are now on #Jamendo

Well due to an utter unpleasant experience on Soundcloud with Atom Collector Records, my bands are now not on soundcloud anymore. I will write about this unpleasantry later on tonight. But for now here are some updates for my bands....

I spent several hours today and yesterday in a frantic rush trying to find the perfect host for my bands now that soundcloud was crapping out on me. I tried A) Myspace music. Could upload tracks there but could not get them to play at all. So I ditched that. I then looked for bandcamp and soundclound alternatives. Tried a bunch. They all fucked up bad. A few were mindless Soundcloud ripoffs with tons of rap/pop/dance/dubstep fags on them. No good for that. I didn't want THAT kind of fanbase for extreme metal, which is 1000000000 times better than that shit anyway! So I decided to rely on two sites that unleashing vengeance did fairly well on when I was trying sites for it in 2014. They were A) Indiemusicpeople.com, and B) Jamendo.com.  I uploaded all 5 bands to Indiemusicpoeple.com and made a station there. Got some views but no one put my bands on their stations, so it was a complete failure. But fear not, because the next site I tried, Jamendo.com worked like a Charm.

I spent most of last night and this morning uploading songs to jamendo.com. It was quite annoying how un-user friendly the upload process was, I had to A) Upload .WAV files! (NOT mp3), B) Resize the band's cover image from 512X512 to 600X600 and C) Fill in tons of useless crap like what instruments are in each song!, license info and more. But in the end it payed off.

And did it!

The inconvenience of uploading means you probably will only see 1 track per week per band done now... But the results, boy do they speak for themselves. On soundcloud Rise of the Serpent got 5 plays. Here it got 25! On soundcloud the Rancid Abomination Song Harbinger of fate got 5 plays. On Jamendo it got 46 plays in one day! It didn't even get plays for weeks on soundcloud!  Jamendo is literally shitting all over soundcloud. It's so much better. After YEARS of work I finally found a host that is worth uploading to! No more spam on my mentions saying I should buy free followers, no more rap and dance fans liking my shit, no more "21" (soundcloud rap guide spamming tool/troll) trolling me by spamming likes on 1 song forever, none of that shit. Just tons of plays and no Bullshit!


Below are the band profiles for all 5 of my bands. Dismembered September and Homicidal Hammerfist are the currently active ones. The other 3 are broken up currently but may come back in the future. Here are the total plays per band in less than a day here..

New Dismembered September changes everything for the band...

Major band changes are something that has happened a lot lately...  In January, my old band homicidal hammerfist changed from black metal influenced power metal to black metal. Now the same thing is happening to my other band Dismembered September.  The change was prompted by two things..

A) All of the band members left but me.

B) More Importantly the new cd has to be done differently for it to work.

You see the new Dismembered September (rise of the serpent) takes  the thrashiness of old Dismembered September and replaces it with Mideival Black Metal instead. A HUGE change.  Now the band is an Atmospheric Black Metal Band...  I did this because the new album is a concept album about the story to 3 awesome mideival FPS games, Heretic, Hexen and Hexen 2. I wanted to add mideival elements into the sound, so I decided to make it an atmospheric black metal band before recording the new cd.

Atmospheric black metal is a kind of black metal that is characterized by slow long epic songs and a dream-like sound.  It's a really underrated, yet popular kind of black metal now. Atmospheric black metal bands include Summoning (the genre founder), Caladan Brood, and Obsidian Tongue (a really underrated band from my state).  I decided to bring my band dismembered september down this route once we broke up because our new album will need the mideival instruments (trumpet mostly) and percussion some atmospheric black metal bands use such as Kettle Drums, and others. I wanted to make a mideival black metal album to fit the theme of the games I was writing about. And I just did. It's nothing like older dismembered september (which was all blackened thrash), but it's good in it's own way...

The new cd came out good. It's split into 4 songs with vocals and 4 without. 3 out of 4 without vocals are short little interludes.  The other is a long instrumental for a final track. The 4 other tracks, the ones with vocals are all long songs at least 7 mintues and 3 out of 4 of those are 8+ minutes long.. You get a very long epic feel with this album.

The influence of Summoning on this cd cannot be overstated. I've been listening to summoning for 6 months now and it's been incredible to listen to their style. I wanted to make a project that fused summoning's percussion and Trumpet playing style with Rancid Abomination melodies, keyboards and riffage. What you get when you do that is make very epic yet dark mideival black metal, perfect for a concept album on heretic/hexen games...

I really like the way the cd came out. It's dark and brooding. Something summoning does rarely to me. It's also very mideival sounding. Most of the  tracks came out great. 2 of the tracks with vocals came out mixed a little off but it's not unbearable... I had to fix these 2 tracks and  that's a bummer but still I love the way this cd came out...

Edit:
Here is a link to the new album... Forgot to add it till now, sorry!

Dismembered September Gets Back together to record First Album for it in 2017

Dismembered September formed last year to write brutally fast blackened thrash metal with black/thrash hybrid vocals. The first 2 cd's had tons of production issues and came out bad. By the third cd (filled with unleashing vengeance 2002 era covers), those were fixed. Then Rancid Abomination came back and DS was shelved... But not anymore, for the band members (Me and KS) got back together to restart Dismemebered september this month.

We just recorded the first real cd by the band "The Metaphoric Abomination". It came out great. 8 Awesome brutal blackened thrash metal songs, some being more thrash (the first 4) and some being more black metal (the last 4). It was a smashing success, with great vocals recorded for it by me. I loved  the way I screamed and growled into the mic... It was amazing.

So I am proud to announce that the new cd was uploaded to noisetrade 15 minutes ago, and you can download it below!

Homicidal Hammerfist Gets Reformed as a 1 man band, Releases new Album

In July 2016, Me and 2 friends formed Homicidal Hammerfist, a short lived sideproject designed to create Instrumental Only Metal. We chose Blackened Power Metal as our style, fusing extreme power metal like Manticora and Persuader with Symphonic Black Metal and Rancid Abomination Styled Black Metal as well.. We did amazingly well, getting Tons of plays on soundcloud and lots of downloads on noisetrade. How well we did was a shock. (I wasn't expecting this to do as well as it did). We unfortunately canned the project in August and me and our Rhythm Guitarist Formed a band Called Dismembered September 2 months later that didn't do nearly as well..

Fast Foward 2 months.... Rancid Abomination has been reformed. Dismembered September broke up (but will be back soon... Hint Hint), and there was no sign of Homicidal Hammerfist. I wanted to bring HH back but I didn't have time. But I committed to a new Cd for winter 2017. And I recorded that cd last month...


Enter "Abhorring the Blackness", a complete solo effort by me. I changed quite a few things about the band on this release. Number 1, I ditched the old style of crunch rhythm guitars and guitar production completely. In older stuff, Leads were quieter and more atmospheric than the Rhythms. In this the opposite is true. The rhythms are quiet and very distorted in a very minimalistic way, kind of like Summoning's Guitars... This allowed all the other instruments to really stand out, such as  the keyboards and lead guitars, which were no longer atmospheric but very epic sounding now...

The result was a completely different type of cd, a metamorphisis by the band. It sounds nothing like older stuff, but still sounds cool. It has a grand epic evil style and it brings in more Rancid Abomination styled melodies and drum beats into the fold to add more of a black metal style. On top of that the Rhythm guitars play actual black metal chords now and they didn't do that before. In fact no chords are non-black metal ones now.

The new cd can be listened to here...

New Rancid Abomination Cd "The Devouring" Finished...

I've been working hard on the 7 new tracks for the new Rancid Abomination (my black metal band) CD. New cd is called the devouring, and it has 7 songs on it. 5 out of 7 are songs with vocals on them, the other 2 are instrumentals. The music for these songs is amazing sounding for the most part, minus 1 song.

Musically, it feels like a throwback to the cd "eternal hate and pestilence" which was done in 2003, only this time with slightly better production. The melodies are so similar, it's not funny. Both cd's have dark sinister melodies done on lead guitar and keyboards. Both cd's have thrashy  riffs, but this one has more of a groove metal influence in the rhythm guitars than Eternal Hate and Pestilence.

It took me a LONG time of constant work to get it sounding good. I had to alter the mixes by adding new lead guitars to them several times and had to fix the vocals an hour ago, to add more distortion which makes it sound better, vocal wise. Still not great sounding but better than before. Before it was sounding bad...

Whether I release this album on soundcloud depends. I really don't want negative comments so I think I will only release 1,2 songs. The whole theme of the cd (anti-(C)Rap) will piss of lots of people there I think, so I may only put it on noisetrade. Either way, It will be the last RA cd ever. I don't intend to do any more besides the upcoming greatist hits I am releasing on noisetrade on December 24.

Soon I will be posting this album on noisetrade. I hope it does well.. Until the Greatist Hits album launches there I will be posting updates here telling how RA albums do.

Enjoy Metalheads. Stay EVUL... Remember to Eat, Sleep, Drink, Piss, Fart and Wank BLACK FUCKING METAL \m/

EDIT : Here is a link to it!

New Rancid Abomination CD "The Devouring" being worked on...

Today, I was looking through tracks I had written in 2003-2004 to see if I could write an album with them, one final album to finish off Rancid Abomination's sick Black Metal Career. I found tracks for 5 songs and decided I was going to use them to write one final album. Several hours later, the work on "the devouring" had been done.

The Devouring consists of guitar, drum and bass tracks put through a remixing process and lead guitar and keyboard tracks added into to make them more hideous sounding. The Guitars on the new album were 90% done in 2003-2004, and the drums are all from that period. 90% of the keyboards, minus one track, are new however, and the lead guitars were tracked with my PC yesterday and today.

The Result is the most sinister sounding RA cd ever. By far.

Number 1, the evil emanated from this cd's music is insane. It even dwarfs Eternal Hate and Pestilence.  It sounds a LOT more sinister. Most of that comes from the keyboard and lead guitar tracks added on, the original music was NOT this way minus 1 track.  The result is quite good. Sick black metal here. Which brings me to the lyrical theme of this album... Which is insanely evil.

I am writing, what best can be described as, a black metal anti-rap themed cd. The lyrics are HIDEOUS on this one. I felt like I needed to do this after trolls from the Rap Community pissed me off by listing our band as HIPHOP without checking first and assuming our music was rap when they liked it over and over again. They sent tons of (C)RAP promoters our way that were completely unwanted. It pissed me off. So I intend to get my vengeance... MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! EVUL! BLACK FUCKING METAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (C)RAP!


THIS is what will mark the end of Rancid Abomination's unfortunately unpopular career... It might be the meanest damn cd ever but it is the last. And I don't intend to do more. I could but I don't want to... Pushing the boundaries in taste is something I don't really want to do too much so Lets just end it here with a funny bang... Hehe.... Anti-(C)Rap black metal = funny!

Rancid Abomination Music Videos

Here are home made music videos recorded for Rancid Abomination songs. They are not the best music videos you can find because:

1) They only show me (Z.A. - the bands founder)
2) They have no real special effects
3) They are home recorded..

They do however have a creepy air to them... They all have an eerie type style to them. I recorded all of them with the lights out, to make it scary. They have me doing scary facial features too as well. I look like a complete lunatic during these videos and that's the kind of effect I was going for.

They might not be the best music videos ever recorded but they are ok. They are not cheezy. They are a bit boring, that's the only negative I can find... But they do have excellent creepy effects, so they are worth watching for that, alone.

Rancid Abomination releases 1 new CD and 2 new EP's on noisetrade

Despite the troubles on twitter, I still managed to release some new material for Rancid Abomination (My Black Metal Band) on noisetrade. That's really good news considering all the issues I've been getting on twitter, so lets go into it. The new cd "the exploding death of christmas" was released 2 days ago. It came out great... Lots of excellent tracks... I took last sunday off to record 5 new bonus tracks... 3 of those 5 were demos, songs that I had backed up tracks from 2003-2004 to remix and re-record vocals for. There were tons of these tracks but only a few made it because only a few had lyrics associated with them and the rest had them in text files which all died in hard drive failures.

The 5 new bonus tracks were boosted by instrumental only remakes of two other songs I loved that I needed to do. These were also based on old tracks, but these lacked lyrics. So I remade them as instrumentals.

Last night was another recording session for me. Since it was not a sunday, I couldn't get away with doing my normal vocal style for the band (harsh blackened growling) so I relied on the old ra vocal style from 2003-2006 that was more quiet and whisper-y.  These turned out very quiet and hard to hear but still fit the music for the EP fine. The EP was recorded and the first track was a sequel to a long lost but highly enjoyable track I recorded in 2005 called harbinger. This song was inspired by the EBAY haunted painting story and was very eerie sounding. The new one was even more eerie with the creepy quiet vocals...  It came out great. I renamed it "harbinger of fate" because harbinger was it's prequel and that is gone thanks to me accidentally deleting it in 2006.

So now we have the full cd, an EP of the bonus tracks from that cd and the EP recorded last night on noisetrade for metal fans, especially black metal fans to enjoy. The 2 new EP's are a lot more Black metal oriented than the album. The album is more like blackened melodeth.  I also recorded a cover of the brilliant song "Todeswalzer" by Windir. Windir was a FANTASTIC black metal band that I happen to love listening to. They had a very dark, hopeless sound to them with really creepy, haunting keyboards and amazing melodies that were amazing sounding on top of that. They are my second favorite band to listen to now besides my own stuff so I felt that it needed to be done. That cover will not be released (due to royalty concerns - we are broke now...). But it was my way to do a tribute to Valfar (Windir's founder - used to be a one man band just like Us - He died tragically in 2004), since it was His music that inspired me to get back into black metal and my stuff later, which I ditched because I was a Pussy and thought it was too evil. Thanks to me listening to Windir I got into lots of other cool bands with heavy black metal elements in them such as great viking metal bands and such and without listening to them, I doubt I would have returned to Rancid Abomination in 2016.

Sneak peak from the Album

(C)RapGate : How (C)Rap Fans/Producers totally fucked up my Black Metal bands Twitter presence.

I am part of a 2 man Black Metal band from Boston (Rancid Abomination). We play extremely thrashy black metal and are as underground as you can get. So when I re-discovered some of Rancid Abomination's Music, I immediately wanted to put it online. I made a twitter site for it. Seemed fine at first, but.... Well something horrible happened to it over the last few days on twitter.

We had marketed it on twitter using the hashtags #unsignedartist and #newmusic. We thought it would be a good idea. Because it was really a one man band and #unsignedartist made sense, right? What I didn't know is tons of (c)rappers spewing their shitty fake music form called (c)rap use the same fucking hashtag. And before I knew it, stupid braindead gangsta thugs from 
@HipHopParallel_ labelled US, a Black Metal Band as Rap and put us on a hip hop list, without even CHECKING FIRST SO SEE WE AREN'T FUCKING RAP/HIPHOP.

So I blocked the fuckers. And they took me off the list. Didn't help. Soon I was inundated with STUPID (C)RAP PROMOTERS DAILY. Promoters like the ones listed below..  I didn't want any promoters, period, because I promote our music myself. I don't need promoters, especially fucking rap ones. Rap ones promoting a black metal band sounds absurd right? Sounds stupid. What fucking stupid (c)rap fan would like something as evil and extreme as black metal? No one. So why were these fucking stupid losers harassing us? They were too stupid to read the obvious thing that said we were BLACK FUCKING METAL and Not rap, and instead looked at the retarded list that listed us as rap.

But that's not the worst part. No... That is bearable. I could actually handle them. So I trolled them and their stupid fanbase saying how their "music" form was crap. I posted some funny tweets such as the ones below (paraphrased).

"We're about 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 Times better than the music (C)Rap fans listen to" (and we are, Ra's music is sick!)

"BLACK FUCKING METAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (C)RAP"

"Stupid (C)Rap Promoters thinking we're (C)Rap is the stupidest, yet funniest thing ever"

"We're the Kind of music (C)Rap Fans think is complete noise, get that straight MPG | Faggotry/
Promote Shit!"

and last but not least...

"Why are (C)Rap Fans Ignoring the Obvious?, it says right here we aren't rap!"

But that trolling shit just got them to like it like the idiots they are. And before you know it I had (C)Rap fans liking our posts on recording a new album, ALL ASSUMING IT WAS RAP without reading the OBVIOUS profile photo that says we aren't fucking rap. One even pissed me off when I said I wasn't gonna release the new songs on soundcloud due to how bad it's been doing there...And they liked that to taunt me... Fuck them.

So I then renamed the account. By  this point I had stopped using the #unsignedartist hashtag and changed to #unsignedmetal. Didn't help. They didn't go away. I then got rid of the #newmusic hashtag to try to stop them. But apparently these (C)Raptards were reading #unsignedmetal and #blackmetal (which I was using) and still liked this shit thinking it was rap.  Renaming the account did absolutely nothing. I had changed it from @RancidAbomBand to @OfficialRABand. Didn't do shit.

So I wake up this morning to find yet ANOTHER DUMB (C)RAP promoter following us like we're a fucking (C)Rap group! (@King_Promo_LLC) Fuck off! So What I did was shut down the twitter account. See.. That's how (C)Rap fans ruin metal bands online presence...

It's stupid because RA has been doing shitty. They even made it worse with their fucking retarded (c)rap stupidity.  RA has never been popular NEVER. Even online almost no one knew about RA. So by doing this, they have pretty much made sure it will NEVER be popular outside of sites it's on where it is doing well.. (which are few and far between).. With a non-fux0red twitter account I could at least get it out there better.... But I can't due to these stupid (C)Raptards... THEY ruined it.

Several times during the thing I made it OBVIOUS we were metal. To everyone looking at us. Our twitter description clearly read BLACK METAL BAND FROM BOSTON. None of them looked at that. So I changed the profile photo to at least say "NOT RAP!". None of them cared. To them they simply couldn't read.  They all assumed we were rap and pestered us. The promo guys were the worst at that. They followed us and didn't even bother to check what kind of music we were first, which is STUPID for promo guys. What are these guys, ghetto thugs? They sound like complete idiots.

THIS is the band they ruined:






Ok... If you are a metalhead and hate this kind of shit... I suggest you fucking give these POS losers a peice of your mind. I don't mind you trolling them. I think they deserve that, for fucking up OUR twitter... This band is alive by the skin of it's teeth now and has less than 300 plays on soundcloud, less than 10 downloads on noisetrade and frankly, they could have really ruined it bad if it weren't for the fact I have been seeing RA stuff every day in the charts there... They could have killed the band dead. They made it impossible for me to get a quality following on twitter because 90% of the likes came from rap fanbase for fucking metal songs. If it weren't for me using those hashtags and these idiots I would still be active on twitter...

New Rancid Abomination CD Finally Recorded... Release Date December 1!

I finally finished up work on the new rancid abomination cd "the exploding death of Christmas" (a humorous black metal anti-Christmas cd!). It came out really good minus one little thing that could not be avoided at all. But besides that one little thing (vocal quality) the cd came out great. Think it's one of the better ones the band ever did and is far better than the badly done previous cd "into Hells anus".

 

Music was written quite early for this one, a week ago. I worked my ass off to write good music and it showed. The new cd is very good in the melody department, and has excellent lead guitars. The keyboards are mixed bad but everything else is quite good.. The drums sound good, the guitars sound ok, and the vocals are mostly good.. A few songs had bad vocal performances. Especially the last track. Some songs had much better vocals than others, some don't sound a lot like black metal, but others are very good.. Tracks like "yuletide anusfart" and "pissing on the Christmas tree" got recorded first so they got good vocals. But others like "slaughtered santa sausage" and "the putrid abomination" don't have as good vocals but still are good.

 

2 Oldschool 2003 rancid abomination remakes were done on the cd too. Both were done well but the vocals on the second came out horrible. And it sucks because the second remake "addicted to evil" was one of my favorite rancid abomination songs ever. Good thing "the terrible sound of the demonic hordes" came out great.

 

I had to battle serious issues during the vocal session. Number 1, it was windy out where I live yesterday. Normally that isn't a problem, but severe winds (40+ mph wind gusts) can and have made my computer restart suddenly, due to  the wind blowing around a tree that has our power line bend over it, making the power cut out for a second, restarting my pc. I actually had to stop the recording several times and save the audacity project file (after every verse) to make sure I never lost anything. Luckily the worst case scenario (the power being cut out or going out completely) never happened. I got lucky. The cd is done mostly because of this. It could have been far worse, people!

 

Here are some songs from the new cd on soundcloud. I uploaded them the night I got it done.

 

 

 

And here is the newly released music video for the first remake "The Terrible sound of the demonic hordes 2016". I love this remake... The video is cool too. It is a creepy one. Watch out.

 

 

 

 

More info on the release when it comes. There will be an update when it gets released on noisetrade.

 

Rancid Abomination Goes back to being a solo artist and is working on a new (and final) cd

Ok.... Here is the good news. Rancid Abomination (my current music project/solo artist/former band) is not dead yet. It will be dead by the end of 2016 but that is expected...  Here is the bad news. I lost all the band members minus our drummer due to them all reforming their old band.  That left Rancid Abomination in the gutter with only me as the founding member, going back to being a two piece band with me on everything but drums and Peter Fraleef filling in drums. This is a temporary Arrangement. The band will break up soon after this. The reunion will not last. I don't want to continue it anyway.

I've been amazingly busy recording a new cd for Rancid Abomination. The new Cd will be an anti-christmas cd and will have an evil anti-Christmas carols/Santa Claus theme, just to piss people off during the holidays. With song titles such as "Slaughtered Santa Sausage", "Pissing on the Christmas Tree", "Shove your Christmas Carols up your ass" and "Yuletide Anusfart", the album will be offensive to the idiots out there who want to shove XMAS music down my throat for one more year...  I intend to call the cd "The Exploding Death of Christmas".

Working on the new cd's music was hard as hell. I had composed it but didn't realize that I had pumped too much reverb in, causing tons of pops and clicks. So I had to remix it, but this time I noticed that the lead guitars were too high and the keyboards were nonexistent. So I gave it a third go, this time making it perfect... I played rhythm guitars on this cd for the first time in 10 years. It was fun but also quite hard. I did lead guitars too and most of the instruments you will hear on the new cd are my work, minus drums.

I think the music for the cd came out amazing! It took me a while to perfect it but it sounds amazing. A lot like a modern take on older RA stuff from 2005. There are some modern elements but they are rare. Don't expect the UV tinged stuff that was all over "Into hell's Anus".  This sounds much more like Classic RA stuff... It has AWESOME keyboards and very good lead guitars.  Rhythm guitars are a bit down in the mix but they are there... Melodies are really good and atmospheric. Track 5 must be heard!

 I look forward for releasing this cd... Should be really good...

Here is the album cover!

More info on this when it comes out. Probably won't update this till after the Recording Session for the Album is completed, which should be sometime before December.

New Rancid Abomination Released! First in 10 years!

It's been over 10 years since rancid abomination relesed a cd. Back in january 2006, RA released it's 2nd to last cd (the band has always been a 1 man band). Since then it has been inactive and has not recorded a single cd.

Until now..

Behold "Into Hell's Anus"!

Today, I was home alone from 5 PM to 7 PM. I get that because on sunday my parents go out to eat. This time they went out to eat at somewhere close due to another reason (not going to say what), so I had less than 45 minutes to record the album. Lucky the album was 37 minutes worth of tracks with vocals. I had recorded 7 tracks with vocals this time (plus 3 instrumentals to add up to a total of 10 songs)...   I got away with it this time (sometimes I don't!) and because of that the new cd is done...


There were several moments where I got nervous due to them catching me in the act. One song in particular was 10 minutes long. I got nervous once because I swore I heard them talking outside (when they were not there it turned out). I thought I would be done for. But That never happened. The new cd got recorded, and mixed later on.

The cd is very, very different from the older stuff recorded from 2001-2006. It's vocal style is very harsh and hideous sounding. Not quite black metal and not quite thrash. Somewhere inbetween.  The music is close to stuff from eternal hate and pestilence but has some homicidal hammerfist touches (keyboards) and unleashing vengeance touches (fast riffs like in UV's later stuff).  It sounds more like Dismembered September than classic Rancid Abomination, but still sounds good. The vocals, for the most part, are excellent (minus 1 song).

You have to expect changes after more than 10 years absence of RA material. It came out good, but it really isn't like older RA stuff at all. More of it's own style that is unique. I like the way it came out but one of the best songs got a bad vocal performance. I thought that song had the best music and it am slightly dissapointed torwards it...

More info when it comes... As for the cd... You can listen to it here:

The Rancid Abomination Story (And upcoming Reunion)

From 2001-2006 I was part of an EVIL one man black metal band named Rancid Abomination. This band was so evil, that it may be considered the most evil metal band ever. During it's career it offended so many people on mp3.com, that it wasn't funny.  The lyrics were enough to get every weenie out there offended...  Tons of satanic lyrics. But not just that... Nooooooooooo...

Rancid Abominations lyrics had tons of references to evil acts not found in other bands.. Slaughtering children wholesale to Satan (including babies!)? Demons feeding off of said people's Entrails? Check! Disgusting References to maggots eating baby brains and baby entrails? Check. Fucking people up the ass? Yup that's right. Massacring cartoon characters like the easter bunny and Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer? Yup that's right. Fucking Shit Tons of swears? Yup! Tons of references to Satanism including shit tons of implied Satanic Cult activity by me (just to piss people off!). Check!
Tons of references to how certain people/all people/stupid people/idiots I hate need to Die in Pain? Check! References to Vikings slaughtering Christians Wholesale! Check! (Always, always taking  the viking side of things)


you see where this is going... It's by far the most offensive metal band ever.

I even went to great lengths to make the album covers look evil. One thing I liked to do was use a gimp (free painting program) filter to "mutate" my face to make it look like a demon shape wise. I did this a lot. I did anything and everything to offend, shock and disgust people with this band. And i payed off. I got tons of trolls on mp3.com saying it sucked... It worked... No one liked it. Everyone hated it. God I love trolling idiots.

One particular image found in an album I did in 2005 even caused some uproar in my family. It showed a mutated version of me with a demonic mouth and a red patch on my forehead that said "FU!" on it. Then beneath that it said "ass perforator - all vocals and music". Once my brother saw that He got horribly offended and I had to tone down my music, which I did NOT do, I only made it worse because he was an idiot!

The band formed in 2001 as a black metal one man band mixed on a 4 track recorder.  Back then it was satanic but nothing else. It didn't start getting really offensive till a few cd's later. What kicked it into offensive music overdrive? Well...

I had been getting into black metal bands And had gotten into tons of them. I started hearing about this black metal band called Northwood Ice Pentagrams.  They were a satanic joke band. They wrote offensive but funny satanic lyrics that were hilarious. I still laugh at their lyrics to this day. Stuff like Frosted Flakes of Frost (A song telling how Tony the tiger from Frosted flakes is SATAN! - complete with an evil satanic ingredients list in the lyrics), Evil Squirrel (yeah! A song about an EVIL Squirrel), 404 file not found! (hilarious. - It's all in french though).You see where this is going. I got inspired by this heavily....

Add Gwar Influences in and you get the most disgusting offensive band ever. Gwar influenced my stuff just as much as northwood Ice Pentagrams. Lyrics about maggots, sex, ugh.... It was gross but funny... They had no decency. Just listen to songs like Fucking an Animal, Maggots, The Salamanizer (especially)  and you will see what I mean...

So I ended up writing evil rancid abomination songs like : Evil Weevil, Satanicock, I roadkilled Rudolph, Prepare to Die, Violence = Anger + Hatred, Unholy Bloodshed (complete with a text to speech intro that was hilarious (read below)), A tourbus in Hell, and worse...

(Intro to Unholy Bloodshed)
Fucking Die Evil Dickweed
Evil will not oppress buttfuck the mighty
evil will not be tolerated here
we will kick your infidelic rear

Your corpse will rot in pain
your soul will enter hell
your babies will be disemboweled
Satan will eat your corpse!

Your corpse will rot in pain
your soul will enter hell
your babies will be disemboweled
Satan will eat your corpse!

Your corpse will rot in pain
your soul will enter hell
your babies will be disemboweled
Satan will eat your corpse!

(A tourbus in hell)
Welcome to  Hell Ladies and Gentlemen
Here we have the reaper who takes people to hell so Satan can begin eating their corpses
Here thousands of babies are being eaten by maggots, all in the name of satan
here you can hear the screaming souls, as they are being tortured by a 666 mile long spiked
dildo.
Here Satan Watches As I eat a Baby sand witch
Here a giant Cacodemon shits on the soul of an evil Christian Priest Fucker
Here a giant spike flies around looking for anuses of souls to probe.
<I forget the rest>

You see how horribly offensive Rancid Abomination was. It offended lots of people on mp3.com. I had it up there from the get go (from when our first song existed). It was quite bad then but not nearly as bad As it would get later on. Tons of anger and hatred all over the lyrics were there from late 2001 till the end. It was horribly violent and evil.  Some of it I meant seriously, other songs were just sick jokes. You can tell if a song is serious if there are little to no swears in it.

The ones that were designed to offend people were FILLED with swears. It was horribly bad then... Eventually it would be toned down slightly in 2004. But it still was evil, lyrically. That Never changed... But that wouldn't last and It got more offensive later...

Well the band got SO offensive in 2006 that I decided to disband it permanently.

All along Rancid Abomination's lyrics were designed to be sick and offensive in every conceivable way. But none of it was serious. I was never a Satanist and am not one now.  I did it to offend people, specifically one person who seemed easily offended who had annoying kids and showed up at every family get together back in 2001-2002. From 2002 on however the lyrics became more serious and sinister. I stopped trying to offend people as much and wrote evil lyrics on purpose because that's what I wanted the band to be like.  Some were still joke song lyrics but a few were serious.

Some songs wrote about interesting shit too. At least one song had politcal leanings in 2004. Several were about  fiction. One song was about the movie Alien. Several were about X-Files Episodes. Several songs focused on paranormal themes, such as ghost stories, alien abductions, etc... A few wrote about fictitious paranormal things...  One song was written about an infamous haunted painting I read about on paranormal.about.com. That song was amazing! Phenominal melodies. Too bad I lost it tragically. 

Fastforward from 2006 to 2016. I had been in tons of side projects and bands. I learned how to do good production and how to write good music. I started becoming more varied as a song writer. Unleashing Vengeance would get semi popular.  All of that made me want to go back to Rancid Abomination bad. In 2014 It almost happened. But I put it on the back burner due to  how offensive it was...

Going into this month, I haven't listened to Rancid Abomination Once for 10 years. I used to hate it, thanks to it offending my family. But I got some of it back, and OMG it was amazing musically,  and I wanted to get back into it due to that. 2 days ago I got a second cd back. I am still missing a ton. I don't think I will get them back at all. See I deleted them all off my PC in 2006.  SO I decided to compensate for that by Reforming Rancid Abomination, 2 nights ago.

Rancid Abomination is coming back big time. Unleashing Vengeance is dead. Caustic Euphony is dead. All my other bands are on the back burner. It's time To bring back the most offensive band in metal history to the internet...

The reunion will be a short one though. Rancid Abomination will have the following three things done for it in 2016. A) A new Album, Entitled "Into Hells Anus". B) A Greatist Hits Compilation Released on XMAS 2016.  and C) A live album done in november/december (possibly, it's up in the air - It's hard for a one man band to perform live. Right now It's a 2 man band)..

It's been 10 years since Rancid Abomination was around at all.. Think about that for a minute. It's coming back, and most of it's cd's are not available to download on noisetrade thanks to people's stupidity (mine mostly).   I has a limited presence on line. I need to justify that presence and increase it by doing a new album.

The new album has already been written. Here is the tracklist:

Into Hell's Anus (intro)
Wrath of the Putrid
Evil Fart of Death
Evil Weevil
Smelly Hell
Satanicock
Chef Boyardee, I need a baby sandwitch
Outro

The songs are a bit toned down compared to 2004-2006 stuff but they are still quite bad. I still want to write offensive music. The only thing that's missing is the swear ridden nonsense..  More updates later on this album. It will be recorded soon, but not right away. I am planning to record it sometime in late September, Early October, Possibly on this coming sunday, but that might not happen now..

Meanwhile, check out the best two rancid abomination cd's on noisetrade. Eternal Hate and Pestilence and the Bleeding.

Rancid Abomination! The best damn black metal band ever! Go #NewEnglandStyle

From 2001-2006 I was the sole member of a black metal one man band named Rancid Abomination. It was a HEAVY dark black metal band...  It started out as an atmospheric black metal band with heavy thrash elements thrown in in 2001.  In fact the first album was death metal. But it shifted to black metal within 2 cd's...

Back in 2001 it was so horribly bad lyrically that it got several people on mp3.com pissed at me. It was stupid. It got not much better a few years later, lyrically, but musically it started changing after a certain incident. A fucking idiot musical critic named Susan Ramson trashed it and that pissed me off. So I ended up ditching the internet for releasing new cd's, I didn't want stupid critics bashing it, so I just ended up keeping 90% what I did for the band to myself from 2003-2006.

During that period, it started to evolve into something unique though. It got REALLY good... REALLY good.. It changed styles suddenly, right after the Susan Ramson BS.  Going away from atmospheric black metal it suddenly became something way heavier... Super Thrashy black metal!

It started to do melodies found in no other band. Unique melodies of a certain style that are made when you play one note and then play another note without stopping playing the first note. A lot of it's melodies were constructed this way. It kept changing the pitch of the second note too. Sometimes it would be 3 steps higher, other times 4 steps higher, sometimes those steps lower too... It was very varied, and keyboards and  guitars both did this regularly.  These delayed harmonies became a big thing in it... It had developed it's own style. The style that I like to call #NewEnglandStyle 

Rancid Abomination started something unique. It changed styles a lot but was almost always thrashy black metal with delayed harmonies. Many of it's cd's did this. Later on it would develop more of a melodic death metal twinge, inspired by amon amarth. This was how it ended, as a melodeth band...

Since Rancid Abominations unforunate demise in 2006, all my other bands have taken big influences from it's melodies. Caustic Euphony formed from it's ashes and for a while was nothing more than thrashy death metal. Then in 2007 it developed a very black metal influenced death metal style that included delayed harmonies. My second band Unleashing Vengeance, started as a blackened thrash band in 2002. It did delayed harmonies as well for a long time. But rancid abomination was the pioneer of that style... Not unleashing vengeance... Eventually unleashing vengeance and caustic euphony would both go onto to do totally different styles not influenced by Rancid Abomination..

New England Style Black Metal is way cooler than any other black metal band out there... Currently there are 3 New England Style Black Metal bands around. Rancid Abomination (which has a limited presence online now), Dismembered September, and Homicidal Hammerfist (not a black metal band
 per say, but it has black metal elements)...  Both of those last 2 bands are Rancid Abomination Inspired.  Currently I am at work on Dismembered September. We have 2 cd's out... The sound is a lot like Rancid Abomination, only less evil and better produced.
