I may have finally just figured out the perfect approach for my theme. I'm definitely going to need clean/harsh vocals for this later on, so please CorpseFister include my username in the collabs list.

I'm taking the hardcorened-black stylings (or blackened hardcore?) of This Gift Is A Curse style shit and applying it to doom. Fuck knows how this will work.

So my four track isn't really working anymore so I can't really do this anymore too busy anyways. Good luck to everyone else though.

I've got my doom song pretty much done, I just need to redo the lyrics/vocals, which led me to discover something interesting: I have absolutely no idea how to process clean vocals. I've never done it, haha. I guess some compression, a bit of EQ, and some reverb. I think I may also redo the intro to the song, I like what I have but it's not quite "doom" enough.

I have some riffs written, and my friend and I have been meaning to get together & jam but we've both been busy with school stuff. However we should be able to get some stuff done soon. I had originally planned on doing death/doom, but my writing has drifted more towards blackened funeral doom or something of that like.

I've got 4 riffs that are all pretty long. that should be enough. not sure how my theme could influence the actual music more than just the lyrics

Met with my friend for a few hours this afternoon to finalize the song structure & lyrics, unfortunately don't have an opportunity to record until the weekend of the 26th, but it should get done then.

Well, I'm nearly done with my song.
I will be uploading it as a MIDI run through VSTs though, as I don't think I'll be able to record it in time.

I don't think I am gonna finish in time, still with no lyrics, and I have to record 3 more vocal tracks for my album, but I'll try my best with at least recording music maybe.

For some reason I thought this was a 2 month long challenge. I guess I won't get my 2 album submission like I hoped. I'll finish mixing the one and a song I did create and record next week.

I planned on wrapping everything up on the last few days of the month, but it looks like I might be without power following the hurricane. Hopefully that won't happen!

I was going to record this weekend, however with the imminent hurricane, getting my college application submitted online before I lose power has taken the top priority.

Hey gang!

So we've got less than a week to go and I've received some great submissions but not as many as we usually end up with. I think deadlines are good motivators but hell, musicians aren't really known for being the most organized and timely bunch and I'd like us to get as many songs done as possible. So how would you guys feel about an extension? Would another week or so ensure anyone can get their song done?

Probaby for Zodi it would cause I wasn't able to record drums till Mon.

I'm finishing my mix today so I was going to be done by the time it was needed.

I'm not sure how many people in the challenge are in the affected area, but a significant portion of the US is getting hit by a hurricane and may be without power - an extension can't hurt anyone :P

Adding a layer to each guitar track once the drums are done should be the easiest part, since I practiced the song already. Vocals are going to be a challenge though as I'm not much of a singer - I might want to go back to that a second or third time to finalize it. I did get a lot of writing done with this theme!

I personally will submit mine by the deadline, I dont mind if you guys make an extension but I cant afford to spend any more time on this as I have other studies to attend.

Another week would help me out significantly, work has kept me on the move this month and I've had very little time to spend writing. And just like Zodi mentioned, hellstorm Sandy may well be effectively some people, too.

But if the deadline isn't extended I'm sure I can supply something, I'm just a little concerned about the overall quality of my submission.

So, even with SLK and Flesh_Bag getting songs in we’re still going to be a bit shy of the numbers needed for a decent compilation. Considering a few posters have been affected by the storm and that a few other people have said they could use a bit more time I’ve decided to add one more week- the new deadline is November 9th.

High fives and gold stars to everyone who has/will get their song in for the initial deadline. The rest of you- get cracking! If we can’t get to at least 10 songs I’ll ask Metantoine to temp ban the lot of you! ;)

Good news. I'll have mine done by then, And .. yes .. here's a drink lifted to the shore people of the East beneath Odin's hammer.

I'll hopefully have mine done by the first deadline, I just need to get some college work out of the way first. And a Halloween gig with my main doom band...

I wrote a handful of songs but didn't record any yet so the new deadline will help me out. A lot of people in my area lost power and there are some fallen trees and leaves but the storm didn't really delay me other than the time it took to bring shit inside beforehand.

So, I should be able to record sometime this weekend as I will actually have some free time. I will have something to submit, even if it isn't quite in by the initial deadline.

Much thanks mate, between the computer troubles and the damn storm, it's been rough.

Well, shame on me, again I can't seem to finish a song for the challenge, I just don't get enough time to compose something that's not for my studies; hope that once the vacations start in the next months I'll get more productive.
