about

I wanted to do something vastly different than "Fuck Your Pop!" and the previous few albums... when I was initially conceptualizing, or really trying to figure out the themes and direction I want to go musically... I figured after I was getting close to finishing "Fuck Your Pop!" I decided I wanted to do something really easy, and knock out another album in literally a day or two...

...I wanted to start with distorting everything on my Alesis SamplePad 4... load in a bunch of kits, attach my Zoom G5n guitar multi-effects pedal, then record and sample the distorted drums and loops... however after starting the process... some of the drum kits when distorted the levels were all fucked and you couldn't hear some of the elements... and I wasn't prepared to load in new kits and get all the levels in a listenable state when distorted... so, went through the individual kits... and sampled everything I wanted to and started to fuck with them in the DAW (FL Studio Producer Edition 9, for those curious)... the process was going to take a little longer than expected.

Thematically, I wanted to go in a more noise direction, being heavily inspired by P.A.L., STAHLSCHLAG, some Wumpscut, and even Nine Inch Nails "Broken" & "Fixed" (neither of these are exactly rhythmic industrial, but they are really heavy records)... I just wanted to get noisy as fuck, in the confines... I'm still writing a industrial metal hiphop album... I still wanted to get it out as quickly as possible, and it took about a month and a half to two months to put together... I did all the guitars again in the same fashion as "Gr0und Z3r0" and "Fuck Your Pop!".

We are entering a new dawn of the world, a world of possibility, a world that is more accepting, a world that is starting to see positivity, and positive change. Humans are, maybe not an accident of the Universe, but the Universe literally works against us... everything we do, every action is based on our survival and continued existence in the universe... “THE NEW DAWN” is spiting the Universe, resisting giving up, resisting giving in, and resisting or even fearing death. We will survive anything and everything the Universe throws at us!!

This is “THE NEW DAWN”.
