Just found a #Reaper project file called "first try at ezdrummer.RPP" - opened it up, hit play, and wow... what a ripper!
It was obviously an idea I was playing with for #FromBelow Relearned the guitar part. Now I need to put down a bass track. LFG!

a screenshot of a computer. Reaper DAW and a file explorer are visible. The file explorer is showing a folder called "REAPER Media, and has a few files. One is "first try at ezdrummer.RPP" - the Reaper screen shows a midi drum track and several guitar tracks.

the public good is rebuilt #frombelow by those who refuse … our collective imagination is larger than fear’s reach. History will remember our stamina.

“I didn't know what exhausted me
emotionally until that moment, and I
realized that the experience of being
a soldier, with unlimited license for
excess, excessive violence,
excessive sex, was a blueprint for
self-destruction. Because then I
began to wake up to the idea that
manhood, as passed onto me by my
father, my scoutmaster, my gym
instructor, my army sergeant, that
vision of manhood was a blueprint
for self-destruction and a lie, and
that was a burden that | was no
longer able to carry. It was too
difficult for me to be that hard.”

Teitanblood – Black Putrescence Of Evil (Vinyl)

What you get is raw, bestial black/death/war metal. If you’ve heard Teitanblood’s “Seven Chalices,” you have an idea of what this sounds like. Ultimately, this is a fine slab of black/death metal. It isn’t as good as “Seven Chalices” but does hint at the greatness that Teitanblood would later achieve. Mandatory for Teitanblood fans, as well as war metal enthusiasts everywhere. Ave!
