Had this idea, though I can't see this coming to fruition until after the dust settles from um... the new music I'm working on. I've done 16 albums since 1999 (5 Ankou Awaits, 4 Hguols, 3 Orationem, 2 GRIM, 1 Breviarium, 1 Akryal) all of which are full length albums except the Akryal CD. Not to toot my own horn, but has anyone else in the Christian scene single-handedly done something like this? I'd like to meet them if that's the case. As of now, I kind of feel like an extreme metal beast having experience recording elements of death metal, black metal, ambient/electronica, doom metal, thrash metal and grindcore. [band] [guitarpro] Anyway.... Anyone reading this who isn't a musician. Have you ever had an idea for a metal song and wanted someone to make it for you? Do you write lyrics and would like to see said lyrics to music? Maybe you'd like to tell the love of your life how much you care about them, express how great God is, or a hilarious jab to a friend? Maybe you'd like to have a song that you'd have the rights to and have credit for? I could make it for you. The hire part implies money, but I'd feel more comfortable asking for a donation rather than CHARGING someone the cost for making the song. Maybe like a donation tier like X amount gets you an MP3 while Y amount gets you a labeled CD of the track? Anybody like this idea or is it stupid?

No I think this is a pretty great idea! As a non-musician myself, I've had one or two ideas for songs floating around for a while that I thought would be really awesome to make a reality. (Though it'd be quite different style-wise than your work thus far.) I've thought of trying to make a studio-project "metal opera" of sorts from it though it'd require a lot of people I think because it'd range from doom/death, progressive, acoustic, black metal, ambient... I think maybe more of a Pursuit-era Woods Of Ypres mixed with My Silent Wake and maybe some Epta Astera thrown in.
Anyways, I think that's a super cool idea Thomas and could easily see people jumping on this!

Well, while more traditional forms of metal are a bit out of my element, that doesn't mean its not something I couldn't pull off. After all, I proposed to my wife in a country song I wrote. (and no, no one else is ever going to hear it LOL)

I think it would be really neat to hear you give post-black metal a shot.
Neat enough that I might (not committing to this yet) pay you to make a song.

No worries on the commitment part. I'm partially tempted to try something like this down the road, just to see if I could do it.

has anyone else in the Christian scene single-handedly done something like this? I'd like to meet them if that's the case. I'm not certain how many albums they have but Elgibbor of Fire has done quite bit. Sounds like a fun idea though to me.

According to metal archives, Elgibbor has 13 full length albums. Yeah, I'd like to meet him. That's definitely massive, especially for one dude, one project. (My now 17 albums are spread across 6 projects)
Heck, for the Christian black metal scene, one or 2 full lengths is massive.
Mortification has more than that... plus a ton of compilations, and Steve Rowe was still doing his thing while fighting cancer. (Like me)

This is not stupid and it's something I've wanted and needed for a very long time. One project in particular I've envisioned for well over 20 years. I've also written two different song lyrics that need music and vocals.
I'm willing to pay.
