At long last, Shyft releases a new hardcore/gabber full-length album
Huzzah! A new half darkcore and crossbreed/half nu-style album (above promo mix courtesy of K.H.D.. Shyft feels so accomplished, finally back on track. Get your copies and/or stream the full album here and be sure to read the album description! Again, I’m asking for a few dollars for this one on Bandcamp, and, if you think it’s worth more, please modify payment to suit. The title track is available for free (no minimum)!
Shyfted Minds is hosted on a registered domain now, which costs money, and, if my work isn’t valued in this way for much longer, I won’t be able to justify pouring so many hours of the day in to it any longer- which is sad! But alas, adult humans gotta feed their selves. Asking for help is difficult for me, and asking for money makes me feel like kind of an ass hole. If you agree, look the release up on The Pirate Bay or Gabber.od.ua in a couple of days or so.
Red Ankh Gray out now!
Yep, it’s finally here, the rerelease of Red Ankh’s ‘Gray’ double album. Bammo, industrial influenced progressive metal. Get your cyber hands on it here. This is the first time we are actually asking for money, since money is getting tight over here and time is getting even tighter. It is only ten dollars for one hundred sixty minutes of music, or fifty cents per track with the exception of the tracks Tundrome, Zarkerovense, and Secto, which are free. If you like my music enough to have it but not enough to support me with a means to make more of it in the future, you will be able to find it at places like the Pirate Bay soon enough.
New Releases Very Soon
‘My Webbing Come Undone’ is a symphonic break core track by Shyft written years ago for an album that never got a proper release. That symphonic break core album, entitled ‘Her Dark Square’, was remixed and remastered last November. Now, one remix of the four track remix EP for My Webbing Come Undone still needs new mastering, and then that will be complete and the release of both the album and the remix EP will launch, possibly next week.
Surprise! For the first time in three years, Shyft is nearly prepared to release a new gabber solo album, with six completed tracks and four nearly completed tracks. This album is to be simply called ‘HonoR’. Five are dark core or cross breed. Five are more ‘mainstyle’, sporting catchy yet complex melodies and harmonies. The title track is a mixture of both. This album will feature a new version of an old favorite. Shyft’s primary goal for this week- his spring break- is to finish these tracks.
Finally, ‘Gray’, the industrial metal double album by Red Ankh, is complete. Expect release of it by some time next week.
The Dustrict and Wizzort album is in its final stages. Expect industrial, hard core, cross breed…
The Predaking album has just a few tracks remaining to be finished, and is now going to feature a second ‘disk’ full of remixes. Fast, melodic gabber on its way!
Johan Jello has finished his first two track gabber EP, and as all these other projects come together, this will get mastered and released.
Stay tuned. Things are changing quickly around here now.
K.H.D. wins This Is Hardcore remix competition!
The winners of the This Is Hardcore remix competition were just announced, and as K.H.D. was scrolling down the list of winners, he saw this:
Alien T – The victory – remix by K.H.D.
This is excellent news for Shyfted Minds! Good publicity. See the proof for your self here!
As for the release date of the remix album, it says that ‘The TiH Remix Contest Album will be released on all official This is Hardcore channels on 01/03/2013.’
Preview of K.H.D.’s double album ‘Project Afterlife Transmission!’
The album is almost ready. Here is a preview of some of the tracks!
From the silence… shadows…
As Shyft types this he is listening to the new K.H.D. double album that shall soon be released, ‘Project Afterlife Transmission’. It is wonderful. Every track is finished and arranged; we are waiting on cover art. Predaking’s new EP is growing in to a new album. Demon’s Breath decided to scrap the EP that we were waiting on as an official release, due to complications postponing the release and feeling that his work on those tracks has become outdated. He hopes to release some thing new with us in the near future. Dustrict’s collaboration with a new artist is still in the works; samples have proven interesting so far.
As for Shyft? As is typical, life has gotten in the way and I have not been able to focus on any art projects in a long time. Despite the projected date, the new book’s release is suspended indefinitely. The writing is done; the editing is done; the sound track is done; and most of the cover art is done, but I still have no idea how to properly market a piece of writing and training a one man marketing team and then making a plan tailored to a specific product takes time that I just don’t feel comfortable devoting to it right now- and I want to do it right. It is majorly frustrating, but at least I have crept back in to my music studio… Red Ankh Gray, the industrial metal double album, is finally nearing completion. Seven of the twenty seven tracks just need vocals recorded, and two of them need instrumentation work; the rest of them are complete. I shall also soon be pressing the priority of remixes for My Webbing Come Undone, so that I can finally release a single of that track alongside the symphonic break core album that features the track- an album that has been complete for almost a year now. Better patience I am learning. I used to be able to do every thing at once, writing ten albums and three hundred pages per year. Things have changed, and I’m getting used to it.
“O” project nearing completion
Shyft’s fourth science fiction/fantasy novel is written, edited, formatted for print, and sound tracked. Remaining is formatting the text for Kindle, planning and rolling out a marketing campaign, and publishing! Never mind that he has to go back to school in nine days! The production may be running late, but the show must go on. One may expect a full release by the end of October. One… may.
In the mean time, please enjoy this remaster of one of Shyft’s classic gabber tunes, up now to bang out your ear drums for the sake of promoting the OST and the book. The Harpist was once a gentle, free spirited young magician. How is it that he came to desire To Destroy All Things?
K.H.D. writes video game inspired album
K.H.D. has finished a thirty-six minute album composed as if it were an original sound track to a video game. The work is called ‘Soonjite’ and it is now released here on Shyfted Minds! It is definitely different from his hard core music, but the same technical production and melodious intent can be heard. Snatch it up by clicking on the image above!
I, Shyft, have been spending most of my free time editing my new science fiction/fantasy novel, so far simply titled “O”. It is in the final editing phase now, and then comes promotion and publishing. The book and it’s accompanying sound track, which is comprised of forty songs inspired by scenes and characters from the book, should be finished by the end of the summer.
Also Dustrict is working on a new collaboration release with a new artist, and Predaking is writing a new EP.
Predaking’s Love Tunes EP is released
Here we go with Predaking’s second solo EP. It’s like what you’d expect but better than before! It has a remix of Demon’s Breath’s ‘Synthetic Altered Brains Can’t Feel Love’. Click the image to track it down for free. It’s what you want.
In other news, SNORKADORKABORK! K.H.D. is working on new tunes again and all other music releases are suspended indefinitely as we knerfdrefkebluk…
