DETERIOR

Hello friends. It's been a while. It's been the usual life-getting-in-the-way excuse I always make, but rest assured (if you were curious) that Deterior is not dead. Instead I've been finding other creative (non-musical) outlets and there's been more real-life stuff going on for me lately. Despite that, new Deterior music has actually been in the works for the last four-ish years, believe it or not. I've been working off-and-on with an album's worth of material that has actually been pretty close to being finished for a long time; it's just a matter of final polishing and a couple more recording sessions to wrap things up (vocals and horn—that will be exciting, if it works out). No more black metal this time; I've been playing around with some old styles (and new as well). It is going well, I think. It would be nice to get it finished and released this year, although I've been telling myself that for about two years now. Maybe getting this post ou...

The three experimental / noise cassette EPs have finally made their way to lossless downloads and streaming on Bandcamp! Originally released in 2008 and 2009, these three tapes were my first forays into noise and sound art before spinning off my solo stuff . (I kinda want to start getting back into that!) As usual, they're pay-what-you-want for the digital downloads. Music for Nucleonics by Deterior Music for Automata by Deterior Music for Battery by Deterior There tapes are still available for sale, too (just pay S&H). If tapes aren't your thing, there is a very limited number of CD-R Music for Tapes compilations left.

I bought more free download codes. Hop to it!

Apparently we ran out of free downloads on the Bandcamp page , so I've had to set the price to $1 for the time being. The free download counter will reset next week on September 3rd. And of course it's still always free to stream.

Human Dust by Deterior The second in the Deterior black metal duology. The album is free to stream at Bandcamp . It's pay-what-you-want to download a high-quality digital copy. The Bandcamp download comes with an exclusive PDF booklet with artwork, lyrics, and credits. label: GarageMonkey Productions (GMP-033) format: digital file released: 26 August 2014 time: 46:19 recorded and engineered by Deterior July 2014 mixed and mastered by Deterior from July–August 2014 cover photography: Nicholas Smale

It's almost done. Just a little bit of final polishing and putting the final touches on the booklet. The album is called Human Dust and will be out on August 26. Here's one of the songs!

Been pretty busy. All recording is done—guitar, bass, vocals—and the album is fully arranged and everything. The only bits left to do are tweaking the drums, adding samples and effects, and final mixing (though the preliminary mixing I've been doing while putting together the recordings has been sounding really good). I was thinking about posting a teaser clip, but it's not quite ready for that yet. Maybe in a couple days. But on the other hand, the whole thing will be ready in about two weeks anyway. There's no album title or artwork yet, though most of the songs are titled. We're looking at eight tracks, in the vein of Torchbearer with a bit of Primitive Circuitry thown in.
