Spamtron Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey there! I'm in a chiptune metal band called Electro Static Discharge, or ESD for short. This summer, we released a EP which you can download here: Electro Static Discharge - PWN TEH N00B The EP contains 7 tracks of epic, brutal 8-bit metal. I composed the songs, with help from Phlogiston and Riders from theshizz.org on the last two tracks. The last track is a videogame cover of a great theme by Chris Huelsbeck.

Bahamut Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I just listened to the first track and it was awesome. Will be grabbing the rest now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I love this kinda shit. D-D-D-D-DOWNLOADING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 The music is great and will probably remain in my MP3 player for a good while, but the vocals are so unclear and in the back that they sound like a crowd chanting from far away. It would be nice if the chip sounds were brought down to around the guitar's level too. In rock music, the vocals are usually the defining moment, so they should be a little more dominant in the mix. Edit: The music is f'n awesome. Please bring the vocals up front. I'm not trying to be a critic. I would love to shell out some dough for it.

Bahamut Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Bumping this up cause it's some good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 OH HELL YES. As megadave said, the vocals could stand to be louder. Otherwise, this is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 The deathiest metaller in OCR (That's me ) says that this is pretty dang cool. A concert of this would definitely be fun to go to. The guitars and drums even sound kinda 8-bit too. How the heck did you do that? Allow me to throw in my two cents. These songs would be pretty boring to me if it those chiptune parts weren't riding on top of it the whole time. The guitar parts are just not interesting as far as metal goes. But this is definitely cool overall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 This reminds me more of speedcore than metal. but i like speedcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan I. Rich Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Sounds like 'HORSE the band' taken a step further with that chiptune style you have going on. Very trippy and very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effector Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm loving this. Wonderfully hardcore stuff. I should probably make a CD of this stuff to blast at work after we close. Problem is, seven songs isn't quite enough to make a CD. Anyone have any complementary material like this to suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing that comes to my mind is Power Supply, although that album his a very different feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Oh, Power Supply. That's a nice EP right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.W. Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Im loving your music! But the lyrics I can't understand nor do I like them, IMO they kill the song, but then again I prefer lyricless music. So dont take it personal, k? ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamtron Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey, thanks for the kind words! I'm really happy that people are digging this stuff. We recently played at Magfest 6 and had a blast. The quiet vocals were a decision on my part. At the moment, I'd like ESD to be mostly instrumental. My view of music is pretty different from I started this project. Our newer stuff will be just as melodic, but a bit less harsh. By the way, we're working on a new EP or full-length album at the moment. There will a new ESD web site when I find time to start working on it. By the way... I'm thinking of making a thread called "Design a logo for ESD". It could be a design contest or something. Give me your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Assuming they enter...EonBlue or SGX would win . Those guys are fuckin' bullies, man. But I mean. I'd be down assuming I have the time =P i luvz me sum fotoshup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 this is quite excellent please dont make the name of your next ep something like that please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamtron Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 please dont make the name of your next ep something like that please haha, yeah. that title was the previous guitarist's idea. he's no longer in the band, though, haha. The next EP will be way more "live", if you know what I mean. Expect live drums and more guitar playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
