New Unscrupulous Vomit's sound gets completely overhauled to be Atmospheric Oriental Sognametal! UV now sounds like Summoning Meets Windir Meets Melechesh!

So I've been a huge fan of the following Black Metal bands for a few years now...

Windir (Sognametal band - Blends Norwegian folk melodies with black metal)
Summoning (Atmospheric Black Metal Band - has louder keyboards than guitars and blends in
mideival music)
Melechesh (Oriental Black Metal Band - Crossbreeds Black Metal with Middle Eastern Music)

I've always wondered what It sounded like if you crossbreed the three into one sound. If you mixed the three, what would it sound like? I always wondered that... So I put myself up to the challenge of mixing Oriental Black Metal and Atmospheric Black Metal.

I always wrote Oriental Melodies well. Don't ask why. I am not perfect at it and I am quite inexperienced at doing it at a Melechesh Level but melodies Unleashing Vengeance had had a very strong oriental element to them at times so, I wondered if I could do it again...

Crossbreeding in Summoning styled melodies and instrumentation and production with oriental Black Metal is one hell of a challenge. The two just don't mix well.. Getting them to mix was hard. I got insanely lucky. Since I have actually wrote Atmospheric Black Metal before, I thought mixing the two would be something I could do. Poof. 30 minutes later I had written 5 songs.

Songs 1 and 4 have no oriental elements and are normal Atmospheric Black Metal Songs.  However, tracks 2,3 and 5 are a completely different animal, being much more of a mix of Oriental Black metal with Atmospheric Black Metal, complete with Drum Beats, melodies (which are not the best oriental melodies done but they have that vibe) and also have Atmospheric sounds to  them such as the production atmospheric black metal needs (louder keyboards than guitars, echoey production on keyboards, etc) plus medieval elements (Trumpets and stuff)... It's a weird mix but it works...

But mixing the two wasn't enough. I thought later on once I  had perfected the tracks to see if I could add in Sognametal elements into it. I've tried to mix 2 out of 3 of these styles  before, but 3 into one sound? I've never done that at all, and I wondered if I could crossbreed Sognametal melodies and Oriental Melodies to make some weird hybrid. I also thought, sognametal and Atmospheric sound great  together, why not mix all 3! SO I worked on re-writing the songs in 2 phases:

Phase 1:

I added in sognametal style melodies that were based off of Windir's melodies but altered heavily, such as downtuned, timing changes, etc... I played them with these changes on several instruments including keyboards and guitars for tracks 1 and 4. For tracks 2 and 3 I decided I needed to try to mix them with Oriental Melodies. That mix is.... Weird Sounding! I did it well though...

Phase 2:

I decided the sound of the music wasn't Oriental Enough. So I added in Sitar for tracks 2,3 and 5 plus tribal drumming (like on certain Melechesh Songs) for track 5. Now It sounds really odd, but neat...

Can you say Atmospheric Oriental Sognametal? I Can!

In all seriousness, I think I may have made the absolute craziest, weirdest, yet best sounding black metal album I have ever done. It sounds like NOTHING out  there, in any way, yet sounds cool. I decided that this would be the  next Unscrupulous vomit cd (which was going to be about the Dunwich Horror by HP Lovecraft) and the last with  this style. That's right, I don't think I can crossbreed these things this well a second or third time. They just don't work well together normally and the mix is so volatile that it doesn't really flow well, so I don't think I'll be doing this band any further... Fans of Unscrupulous Vomit  will be like "WTF! Melechesh Influences in this! WTH!" but whatever. It had to be done once...

Update : Here we go, the album has been recorded since this post was first made, and the vocals came out great! I did choirs for this cd and they are epic, but don't expect them to sound as good as Summoning's Choirs... I used a multivoice chorus to add multiple voices to the sound when I only sang 1 in the first place.... It's kind of crappy sounding because that effect adds a LOT of noise into the sound and I had to lowe the volume a lot to compensate for that... Anyway, here is a link to the new cd on noisetrade!

Unscrupulous Vomit records a second cd "Innsmouth!"

Unscrupulous Vomit news here people. I ended up recording a new cd starting yesterday morning... This new one would end up being a "Shadow over Innsmouth" Concept album, based on that story by HP Lovecraft.   I think the music I wrote for it was amazing. I wasn't in the best of moods when writing this (and being in the best of moods helps), but I still pulled it off, and wrote some scary sounding black metal.


The new cd, Entitled "Innsmouth" is very similar to the last Unscrupulous Vomit cd... This one however has some slight differences. Number 1, it's even more evil sounding than the first Unscrupulous Vomit Cd.... That's amazing, in itself. A TON of delayed harmonies and creepy keyboard sections being thrown in...  The music itself under the keyboards (the guitars and stuff) are a bit heavier this time... More thrashy styled riffs... Still have tons of black metal chords but the usage of them has changed, to be more like Later Rancid Abomination and less like the first UV cd...

There is a bit more experimentation on this new cd as well..  The drums are a little bit more varied, and one song has some very weird riffs... There is also a lot more of an epic vibe going on, especially in the last 2 songs. The vocal performance I did on this cd, was, frankly amazing...  I did it last night around 12:30 AM....  I did a very sick sounding growl last night, and it shows... One track I kind of messed up the verses (track 2) but besides that everything else came out fine.

The cd really is dark and evil in every way. Only track 2 is a little bit happier sounding. All the others sound evil as hell. That mood is good. It needs to be sounding like that to really capture the mood of "The Shadow over Innsmouth".  The cd was released online last night here is a copy of it for people to download...

This very well may be the last Unscrupulous Vomit CD people. I don't know If I can do another. I will try to do one in late December 2017, around Dec 27 or 28. But I may not be able to do that, so, this could be the last cd I ever do... I don't plan to do more for a while at least. I will let you know if I can do more later on in a blog post done around DEC 20 or so.

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:
