IT'S FINALLY HERE!! -- The 'Unofficial' An OverClocked Halloween, Volume I !

[The Vodoú Queen]

🦇 Ahhhhhhh, yes. . . 'Tis the time, my children -- The Witching Hour *(GMT)! 🦇

Gather 'round!--for the Oogie Boogie Man has come to me bearing gifts on this eventful All Hallows' Eve! 🎃

It is (a)live, my darlings! The first ever 'Unofficial' An OverClocked Halloween, Volume I!

🪦  https://overclockedhalloween.boo/ 🪦

Get it now while it's  *F R E S H*  from the witches' brew, empowered by the fires of Hell and Brimstone!!! 😈 Have it in the background for your sordid partying affairs! Groove away the blasted day on-through till the dead of night with these wonderful tunes!

I'd like to thank everyone who believed in this project: helped out, made the website, endorsed it, made their tracks for it (and placed them trustingly and lovingly into my claws to help produce and master), AND (lastly but not least-ly) those of **YOU** who're downloading the .zip folder *RIGHT NOW* and partaking of the treats (and tricks) this marvelous day! 🧡🌹

Thank you so, so much, from the bottom of my hearts (all three of them!!); have a lovely Halloween, and I look forward to spreading the spooky cheer next autumnal season, October 2026! ENJOY--and remember kids: "don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly [humans]. It renders you powerless!" 💀

Here's to the first of (hopefully) many Halloween album volumes to come!

Thank you for putting the project together and sharing it with the world.

Absolutely legendary!

Nice. Very nice. In fact, you might say this is **puts on sunglasses** Nice Work.

However, I think this was the wrong place to put the album release thread. When AOCC albums are ready, I make a post in General Discussion. It gets more traffic overall, and it puts the album release in a more noticeable spot. Not as many people are going to look in the Recruiting forum for album releases, especially for something seasonal like AOCH (and AOCC). That said, congrats everyone on getting it done and out the proverbial door 😊

Probably should've but forum traffic is kinda slow regardless, and I did shout it all over the Discord multiverse. So. . . I'd reckon it got out there.

I'll keep it in mind for next time. ♡ And I can shift this post to General I suppose as well.

I agree that this subforum might be not the most appropiate if we want more people to notice the album release. After all, this is more like the place to find people interested to make something new, rather than showing the world the cool stuff that was just already done. As a former lurker in the scene (and including these forums) I might not even check here at all.

But yeah, I understand the hesitance, and even more so in times when forums in general aren't as active as used to, unfortunately. So, if anything, my complain is that... why not adding the spooky front cover artwork to the first post too, instead of just the spooky Santa or whatever that creature is? :P

Oh, and just a note, since it was not included in neither the website or the txt inside the zip download, worth adding the credits list for my own track, because the way it's shown right now it might look like it's a solo track, and unfortunately I could never archive that level alone 😅

• DeLuxDolemite - orchestral percusions (timpani, bells, taiko drums and cymbals)
• donut - clarinet
• jnWake - lead synths (organs, harpsichord, music box)
• minusworld - bass
• robshoppe - rhythm guitars
• Serrin's Toes - metal drums
• tibonev - lead guitars
• Unknown Pseudoartist - arrangement, programming, SFX, mix, etc

I'm still planning to finnish a music video for it in my usual weird style but it'll take at least a few more days.

Yeah sorry...I guess with all the stuff I was juggling around that night, some stuff slipped through the cracks and I can swap the photos. The 'creature' thing is Oogie Boogie -- IYKYK, but I can try to add your liner notes in-post, will just need a means to swap the .zip file that's attached to the website.

Also I am aware that some people here seem incredibly disappointed and thrown off by me posting it here and not in General, and for that I apologize and if that seems like a hitch in the process and I fucked up in delivering the goods to the wider masses, the only thing I can do for that is apologize and keep it in mind for next time. I actually wasn't sure where to place this on the forum, whether it should've been "General" or "Post Your Remixes", etc. But I'll swap the pictures, adjust the liner notes and can only hope posting it in "General" gets eyes on it.

And if that was too late on my part, like I said, I posted it all over Discord VGM communities and spaces as well. . . However, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Nah, no worries, seriously! Organizing an album project with many people involved is not as easy as it might look like from the outside, and even less so when real life stuff gets in the way. It's very likely to miss things and commit extremely minor but somewhat embarrassing mistakes and more stuff like that. That happens to me ALL the time with my own stuff too haha, and I'm always doing stuff with lots of people involved.

The thing with the right subforum to post the thread is not a big deal either. If I were you I might hesitate about bothering people in General, because maybe doubting about how appropiate or how important or worth it is, as I also tend to have this kind of thoughts. "Post your remixes" sounds more fitting if weren't because that's more like "Post OUR remixes" with so many other people involved. So totally understandable

And regardless of all that, you did an excellent work organizing, seeking for people interested and especially on the mastering for all tracks. I wasn't confident with my own mixing but the way it sounds now in the album version I can quite notice the improvement, and how you tamed the annoying fluctuation of frequencies and other issues that are pretty common in my own mixes, and all sounds quite smooth in comparision.

Can't wait for next year to craft more spooky stuff for this if you plan to do this as a yearly thing!
