Hey guys & gals!

I recently finished a chiptune-flavored modern metal album sort of thing.
Hope someone finds it entertaining =]

Here's the link: http://roachesremain.bandcamp.com/

Cheers!

PS All the pixel art was done by the amazing Retronator - http://www.retronator.com/.

Thanks for taking the time to listen! I'm literally grateful for every play smile.

Yeah, a pal posted it on Reddit for me, since I'm a shy guy when it comes to self-promotion. xD

I'm not into metal, but this sounds pretty ace.

Hey dudes and dudettes!

Uploaded a new track that was sort of inspired by a classic David Lean flick smile.
Decided to just paste it here, hope that's ok. Lots of chips, as usual.

Nice Roaches Remain smile I found your album on the Machinae Supremacy forum big_smile Did you do that album all by yourself and what programs did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Wooo, MaSu heart!
Yeah, the music was done by me, artwork by a guy called Retronator - does a lot of beautiful pixel art.
The DAW used was FL Studio. (Here comes the lynching smile)

Nice, I thought I heard maybe 2 singers though? Also still wishing I knew how to play guitar big_smile I just use sunvox and sid-wizard and play by ear (bet piano lessons would help big_smile )

You heard right! There's an extra female vocalist on "Attack".
Dude, it's never too late to learn smile! I'd suggest getting someone to supervise you if you're just getting started now though, just so you don't pick up any superweird habits. On the other hand, it did work for Hendrix and a bunch of other cool guys, so.. smile
And yeah, getting familiar with an instrument definitely helps a lot if you're making music - electronic or any other kind.
