I am only looking for someone to remaster it. I got mastering tools. Hit me up by email or PM. I'll help you out, when I can. I won't charge you either. I think I'm going to need to drop out. Sorry bro. (Setback, setback......fumble) T-T

My last post just means that i’ve had a couple of hurdles show up unexpectedly.......I’m in, and WILL have a track ready to go. Maybe not in the form I prefer......but there will be a track.

I know it's too late to contribute to vol. 3, but if there's ever a vol. 4, do you accept contributions that aren't quite black metal? I don't play black metal, but I could whip up something dark and folky. Just not right now.

We have had electronic noise on past compilations, so I do not see why not.
Regardless, I am curious about your music. Do you have any recordings to which I could listen?

1) Have we decided on a deadline? 2) When we are finished, how should we submit the songs? Asking for myself, but also asking for a friend

2-3 months ago, I had grand plans for a track involving several friends. Wheels were turning to do something before HotBL3 process was even rolling......and, well, my post a few weeks ago about setbacks? My guys ended up not being able to get their stuff done on deadline, so that track is back burned for the second year in a row.
My alternative gameplan, however, is close to completion. Sometime between now and Monday, I SHOULD have it uploaded.
All instrumental tracks are recorded, and I’m about two tweaks away from being REALLY happy with the mix. My last step is to either try vocals for this other track myself (something I’ve never done before and am more than a hair self conscious about.....), or decide if it can work as an instrumental like my last two pieces.
I’m excited about the idea of ACTUALLY having a vocal, AND doing every bit of this track by myself (also new ground for me).....but I don’t know if I have what it takes to put myself out there quite like that. I’m gonna take a day or so to give it a shot and see what happens, tho. I didn’t buy a vocal mic last week to NOT use it......

That thing about me not embarrassing myself trying vocals? Yeah, THAT’S not happening......I’ll give things one more shot tomorrow, but.....me as a vocalist?🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

Here's what I've got so far - listed alphabetically. Amelioration - Trojan Horse blakeArkthrone - Spiritual Hunter Kenneth Natesorg*Dolenar - Enter Eternal Light theshroudedwinter (pending his approval for the mastering I did) Orationem - Salvation (that's me) Proven Existence - Sweet Mother Mysterious Gamer Dude*Sentinel Mysterium - Incursion Sirenum Kaiheijinshu*Stormsinger - Sine Nomine exoTIMŌRĀTUS - The Root of Unity TIMŌRĀTUSThe only track I don't have - is nocturnaliridescence 's Bozkath track. (Sorry for the public mention bro - but you're the only missing piece of the audio-puzzle for this compilation. If you can't do the upload instructions like the other bros, I will accept the track any way that you can get it to me!) Kenneth submitted another track from another project of his - sorry bro - but I think we'll only have 1 track per person to keep things fair/balanced. I have not listened to all tracks... but so far AT LEAST 3 (three) of the tracks are instrumental. (*) That's all good in my opinion - but just one thing about that.... we talked earlier in the thread about multiple panels for lyrics, etc. Here's the thing - I've talked to Duane - its more cost effective for him to do an 8 panel than it is a 6 panel. ...and sorry to say it, 8 panels (for lyrics, etc.) when a chunk of the tracks don't have them - is a bit excessive. (all 5 Ankou Awaits albums I did were 4 panel inserts - and I could EASILY fit all lyrics in that, even the debut with 10 tracks, with a gob of space left over) I'm going to ask Duane how doable 4 panel is if you bros still insist on lyrics in the CD... Another option, 2 panel - which is DEFINITELY doable - and the insert could reference this forum (a link) for the compilation lyrics. Thoughts? I'm going to wrap up this post before I add more "sorrys". -_-

Thoughts? we don’t seem to have anywhere NEAR the level of “excitement” for this project that we’ve had previously, and i’m not entirely sure why.....do we even have 10 tracks this year?
I am instrumental ONLY because I HAD to be to hit deadline.

.....do we even have 10 tracks this year? No. we don’t seem to have anywhere NEAR the level of “excitement” for this project that we’ve had previously, and i’m not entirely sure why Its layered and complicated I'm sure. There's probably a personal element as well. First compilation was high after high after high. - We had someone (DC Mills) that was going to take care of everything for us - all we needed to do was submit the audio and lyrics (if there were lyrics). - It was "new territory", therefore, exciting. - We had a lot more contributors, some heavy hitters in the scene too. (ie: Slave Eye, Corpse) - All 100 copies sold out quick, most in the pre-order - also exciting. - We had a hard submit-by date and everyone made it, which is an accomplishment. The second volume might have been just as exciting, but I missed it. This all happened pretty close to the massive fallout between myself and Kerrick so.... I wasn't getting excited about nothing. 3rd volume, is hurdle after hurdle after hurdle. - We've been here before. Its a grind. - DC wasn't able to help out so that's "us" to make the behind the scenes happen. - Less contributors. - The release schematics is still up in the air - all we know is "Duane wants to do it.", which is better than nothing. - Soft submit-by date.... (I'm not passing blame, please no one think that. I'd rather be late than leave someone behind, but a few bros track plans didn't pan out one of which omitted himself because of it. *thevociferator* ) Seeing another of my brothers struggle discourages me. - Maybe its just me, but the fallout with CrimsonWarrior certainly sucked a lot of joy out of the forum. That might be bleeding over to this compilation release as well? On a personal note.... I've released SO.... MUCH.... MUSIC. Its not hard for me to get excited about my own track/album, but the more music I make, the faster the excitement dies before I start fantasizing about the next release. Also, from today to 1999 - I've had a double-digit number of albums professionally PUBLISHED. The 1 track release high doesn't weigh as much to me as an album release high.

I’m SLIGHTLY different; this is literally the 3rd track I’ve ever “released”......but the “high” is definitely lessened by knowing that not only is this particular traxkthe “back up plan”....but even at THAT, this time around, my “vision” for it is not TRULY happening.
“music” seems to come easy for so many folks...but for ME, there always seems to be some sort of “struggle” involved:
1st year I was INCREDIBLY torn about even participating because I didn’t even have a drum track until you pulled me out if he fire.
2nd year, I am AMAZED at what Chris Sharrock did to my humble little demo concept, and want to cry tears of joy just knowing how much time that dude invested in”me” when by all rights he SHOULD have been prepping for vacation with his wife and kids.....he very literally back-burnered his entire life form2 weeks to make that track happen for me.........yet all I hear every time I listen is the way the bass track is slightly out of line with the rest of the song (damn you, latency.....if I still had the GarageBand session, I know EXACTLY what I need to do rectify it.....but alas....). I LOVE IT....but it could have been SO much better....does that make sense?
This year? I got LAST Year’s original song ready to go, but my conspirators simply couldn’t make things “work”, so I went to “plan B”, which I am actually arguably HAPPIER with, because every single portion of what is submitted is “me”. It’s quite literally “mine”......and still at the same time, it’s not the “complete” idea.
I mean, “Plan A” is still a go, drums and solos to be recorded later this month, (although I have to find another vocalist/vocalists because “life happens”).....and the “full version” of “Plan B” is looking like vocals will happen in May (and MAYBE I can get those guys to do vox for “planA”🤔?)
I LOVE that this forum and the friendships I have because of it. This place affords me these opportunities I simple WOULD NOT have, otherwise......but I have spent so many years thinking “I suck” that when things don’t go off quite like I want,there’s a degree of dissatisfaction in me that I pray doesn’t make me seem like an ingrate.....

The only track I don't have - is nocturnaliridescence 's Bozkath track. (Sorry for the public mention bro - but you're the only missing piece of the audio-puzzle for this compilation. If you can't do the upload instructions like the other bros, I will accept the track any way that you can get it to me!) As long as nothing goes extremely wrong over the next couple days, I'll have a song for you, and it'll be WAY better than anything I've been able to record up to this point. (It seems my playing skills are improving -- I've been WRITING awesome music for as long as I can remember, but haven't been able to PLAY it). Also, if you change your mind about the "one song per artist" rule, let me know. I'm good at improvising music, I can get something good for you pretty quickly. Also, I'll check in again with the one person I asked who gave me a "maybe".

theshroudedwinter approved the mastering and nocturnaliridescence submitted his track. As far as the audio - looks like we're good to go! I won't get around to submitting things over to Duane until probably Wednesday. Here's the $64 question. Bros, are we doing 4 panel? Or 2 panel?If 4 panel... then I'll need lyrics (from all tracks that have them) submitted. (preferrably in a text file, in the same way the track was uploaded)

I am down for a 4 panel.
On a side note. I would gladly financially support this under the name of 'Revived by Light' and take up a little distribution if that works out for Duane.

If 4 panel... then I'll need lyrics (from all tracks that have them) submitted. (preferrably in a text file, in the same way the track was uploaded) Hmmmm.... I've got some confusion about the several requests in this thread for vol3 to have extra panels, but no one with lyrics, has submitted lyrics even though the tracks are finished? I'm not sure if its apathy, or members not checking this forum? If the same people requesting lyric inserts are the same ones with lyrics to their tracks? I don't have the time to check right now - but I'm thinking the tracks are done, the lyrics would be done too. Friday, I'll be busy and I work this weekend through the first half of the week. I'd prefer not to wait longer than necessary before I get this all compiled and sent over to Duane. I know this is "our" comp... but I'm ready to push things along so we can enjoy the finished project, since we're already so very close.... I would like all lyrics by this time (post time) tomorrow. Duane said both 2 panel and 4 panel options are doable, so that puts the ball back in our courts. My sincere apologies bros for the nudge on this - but it will start to disturb me if we stay "pending" here until "to be determined".

You said this: If 4 panel... then I'll need lyrics (from all tracks that have them) submitted. (preferrably in a text file, in the same way the track was uploaded) But that sounds very hypothetical / up in the air. Is that what we're doing? If so, should I upload the text file to the same place I uploaded the audio?

Sorry I dont check here too often
Here are the lyrics for Amelioration - Trojan Horse:
I come in disguise, So you wont realize. Harmless I appear, Until I am here. Activate the file, Transformation vile. System infected Regret erected.
I am the devil And I bring you sin

I'd be extremely happy if everyone with tracks that have lyrics did this. Or private message. Or email. Or whatever. If there's confusion over something i ask, please ask me to clarify. I'd rather explain all day than hear nothing and nudge further.

My lyrics: Tunc ait Salomon: Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula. (1 Kings 8:12)
Picture them standing a short distance away from you. Picture them coming closer. Picture them with weapons. Picture them with swords and clubs. Picture them baring their teeth at you. Picture them staring into your soul.
Now picture God standing next to you. Now picture God putting His foot in front of you. Now picture all of their weapons suddenly vanishing. Picture them backing up in fear. Picture them running away. Picture the safety you feel in that moment.
Now picture this: God's not going to walk away when they leave. God's going to stay with you. The Proven Existence and Timoratus lyrics can be found here and here respectively You already have your own lyrics I assume lol, so that leaves Kenneth, I'll contact him about this. Either he, or I, will PM you soon.

A few more unexpected hurdles. This doesn't have to do with any of the contributors, nor is it something anyone can control.
God willing, the production-ball will start rolling this upcoming week. Hopefully.

I know we have front cover artwork. Do we have the rest? If we need the back cover, here is a quick draft of a possibility. This is a photo I took of the lunar eclipse we had in January. It's partial because the clouds came in and covered it before I could take pictures of the totality.

The picture is a maybe. ...if there's a compatible resolution available. (that's a thumbnail and couldn't be used) The text, no. I can't hardly read that font and there's a few discrepancies. (Bozkath track name isn't shown, its Through the Thorns not Dolenar, that is not the determined track order, etc.)

Yes, right. It was just a quick mock up to consider a direction. I don't have all of the track information you mentioned, so I just listed what I had, in alphabetical order. I made it small for the sake of the forum. The original photo is quite a bit larger. If you want me to put together a more complete version, let me know. If not, that's fine, too. Just trying to provide a little assistance if I can.
