Yay for Sid Metal! (thanks to Zhenech <3)

Machinae Supremacy is a metal band from Luleå, Sweden. They achieve a unique style through use of a special synthesizer called a Sidstation, which incorporates the sound chip of the Commodore 64 home computer. The retro-electronic sound is blended with a traditional metal sound to produce a special kind of “SID-metal” (SID - Sound Interface Device).

They had already made their place in history by being one of the first bands to embrace and utilize the internet and file sharing to gain a huge fanbase without ever having signed a record contract, received airplay or any sponsored promotion. They’ve reached out to all corners of the world and today their site receives roughly 100,000 song downloads every month.

Dude, i love it. Get to know them now:

“ The Dark Side of Phobos was an OverClocked Remix site project that had the intent to mix a large portion of the soundtrack to one of the most important games of the first person shooter genre, DooM. The project was created in the wake of Kong in Concert and was originally maintained by klm09. After some months, the project began to slip away into obscurity and in November of 2004 I was asked to take control of the project and try to salvage it. After months of hard work on the part of all the mixers, controversy and arguments, and artists dropping and picking up songs (amongst other travesties) we are finally here, at the end: The successful completion of The Dark Side of Phobos.” - http://doom.ocremix.org/

I just stumbled upon ‘Grievances and Dead Malls’ by Nero’s Day at Disneyland. Now this is what I call breakcore.

The EP features 7 tracks in a bit less than 22 minutes. If you like artists like The Flashbulb you really gonna enjoy this:

Ok, this is going to be a new category on this blog, along with the new and, hopefully, last design for a while, I guess. We, unlike the evil music industry like Sony BMG (which found itself with a lot of defaced websites today), support independent and/or free music.

When I’m in the middle of something, perhaps looking over a lot of code, I like my music smooth and melodical, but not too slow. So I found Drum & Bass someday. And I never regret it. If I like it uprising I stick with liquid, if I need it more like brain kicking I’ll go over to Intelligent Jungle. In the late and early hours atmospheric dnb keeps me chilled.
Now, there are a loooot (watch out for links ;)) of sites where you can get the nicest and freshest dnb sets for free and it’s quite legal, too! So get yourself a comfortable place, or 92 MB free space on your mp3 player and put your volume up. I’m about to give you an easy kickstart, enjoy this:
