My little band project

gamechampionx · Wed Jun 20, 2007 1:52 pm

Hey all,

I'm new to this forum, and most of you probably don't know me very well, but I have something that might be of some interest to some people around here.

I have a newfound band project going on right now. It's partially a form of musical expression and partially something to entertain myself with.

If you're interested, check out the site for AdverseDivine at: adversedivine.angelfire.com

I'm hoping to post more samples soon. We're still in the writing phase.

Heh, thanks.

I'm looking at getting a .com site so I can actually post material..... Angelfire's 20 MB limit just isn't cutting it.

There's one song posted on the site, but I've got a ton more..... all just concepts as things are still in the writing phase. Trying to figure out what stuff people like and dislike. Of course, the quality is lacking because I'm recording with a cheap practise amp and a $10 mic.

Edit: new URL is http://www.adversedivine.com

Try Soundclick.com or Shezyart.com

Soundclick seems like a cool site.

However, I really enjoy doing my own web development junk. I've got the .com site set up for a year as of yesterday.

Right now, I've got one mp3 playing on the main page and links to the rest, but I'm going to look into setting up a media player on this site that allows you to select tracks and such.

Yes, make a flash widget for your music. Quicktime is the devil.

Also, Soundclick and Sheezyart are good if you want to gain coverage for your music, and you can always link to your site on the description.

Oh, that's a good point.... covering more ground and such.

This weekend, I'm looking at getting a forum, and e-mail addresses set up this weekend. Then I need to deal with the media player issue.

Also, I think I'd better find a proper pic of one of our band members..... my drawing in paint just isn't cutting it lol.

Edit: I'm not sure if this thread is violating the rules with respect to advertising websites. I read the rules about that but I'm still a little confused with regard to the policy regarding this forum. I'm kinda embarassed, I should have really checked that out earlier.

Nah. Since it's not technically advertisement, and you're showcasing a song you wrote, you're fine. I'm not going to drop a b& hammer on you.

Awesome, that's rather nice of you.

There's some new matrial up, the most notable being "Black Magician". This song is just kinda funny. I'm wondering if neone thinks any of this stuff is actually any good.

Not a problem! You're active everywhere else on the forum. ;D

I got one of the songs (broken wings). It sounds good. :3

Thanks, you people are awesome.

Broken Wings is something I came up with recently, I just started playing and it kinda happened.

Most of the stuff needs second guitar parts and stuff though so the songs are a little on the "light" side. We still don't have half the instrument we need but we're getting farther. Drums are so expensive though, I've been looking at Craig's List for stuff.

We had a rehersal on Sunday, and we picked out some favourite material.

I re-recorded one of our heavy songs - "The Hanging Gardens of Abaddon", available on the site. I finally have got a pedal for making metal noises and such.

We also wrote a new, rather experimental song, called "The Messiah Complex" using a Phaser peadal that a buddy lent me.
