MetalRenard's Music

[MetalRenard]

Woo thanks! That's a great compliment. *_*
It's strange that your headphones have that effect, I listen in a variety of environments before I release a song (on a mono phone speaker in a room AND outside, on a TV, on 3 sets of headphones, computer speakers, laptop speakers) and I don't have that issue. Your headphones are doing it just to spite you! :O

[yamina-chan]

Yeah, pretty much XD
I've not had that problem with any other music I've been listening to exept for one track. No idea what causes it =b

Sometimes I experience the same effect while listening to music or a video clip, the only temporary measure I could think off besides getting a new set of headphones was to partially plug it in. I know it sounds crazy but it works better that way. Otherwise you would hear voices echoing in strange way that could lead you to imagine you lost audition or you're having a nightmare.

Music video to go with the new song:


Maaan this things take forever if you actually put effort into them. Buuut this is the way to go, stepping up my game! Can I hire an imp to do the video editing for me though?

Right now if you visit http://www.newgrounds.com/ you'll find my song "The Infinite Cosmos" on the front page! Scroll down to the music and tadaa! This will last a week. ^_^

I wanted to work on some music stuff since I was free and I updated an old track.

I think it's worth a listen despite being short and a work in progress, but that's just me. :)

New video! First in 2 years. :)

I found out that LAMM (the one I wrote the OST for) sold a few thousand copies on STEAM so, to celebrate, I released the soundtrack on bandcamp.

Enjoy! :)

I put a TON of effort into this video (30 or so hours or "too long" according to my better half). It's probably my best work in terms of video editing/animation and I'm also really proud of the music! Enjoy!

Made a new track! Still lacking vocals but I'm satisfied for now.

Posting the blurb here...~~~
===
Surrounded by stars, the beauty of Earth is striking. Contrasted with the bitter taste of rage, you take it all in for but a moment before the battle commences.

A battle for life and death, man and endless machine, Mars and Earth. Grab every chance you can and become legend!
===

When I visualise this song in my head, I see it as the final epic battle between the hero and the impossible odds they face up against an immortal army. The whole battle takes place during re-entry to Earth, finally taking the fight back to the machines that overran Earth in the past, forcing what was left of humanity to live a perilous life on Mars for a century.

I've been watching a lot of sci-fi anime again, listening to lots of Scandroid and keeping tabs on Space-X's progress towards establishing human colonies on Mars so I'm quite far down the rabbit hole, I guess.

This is my first real attempt at blending hard rock/metal and synthwave elements together in which the synth elements are not completely taken over by the guitar elements (like in previous songs).

I feel I could still take this a couple of steps further but I'm satisfied for now. I do want to add vocals one day but that's not possible at the moment as I don't have a mic on me.

On the production side, I'm attempting to keep dynamics more and more in my songs. This one is set at -14LUFS so it corresponds with current publication specifications for online retailers. Not that I'm going to sell it... Just good practice.

I hope you enjoy it!
