Hey everyone! We’re cutting right under the wire here, but we’ve managed to make it to the finish line with this years RPM Project, Palanavra! Now as I’ve mentioned before, this is definitely not the final version of this album, this is just what we’ve been able to get finished in the last month. And I was honestly hoping to get more stuff done, but due to some outside influences taking up more of my… Continue reading
Hey everyone! After a brief hibernation to recharge the batteries, we’re coming back swinging with new videos on the YouTube channel starting tomorrow. And I’m bringing something else to the fold to help start out the new year. I know it’s been a few years since we’ve done this, but I’ve decided it’s time to give it another go. That’s right, we’re doing the Record Production Month challenge again! Last time I tried this was… Continue reading
Well hello there. It’s been a while. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the dealings of life and the living, but it’s time to get back to work. Over the next few weeks there’s going to be some changes on the site here, some trimming of the fat and streamlining of things to help accommodate a somewhat new direction in efforts. Hopefully this will also mean more regular updates as I’ll be shifting focus onto… Continue reading
Victims of Infinity, the latest album from Justin Strode, is now available on Bandcamp! Recorded during the Record Production Month of 2020, Victims of Infinity comes from the collective experiences of the last decade, churning all the great times and musical explorations of the last ten years into a well mixed force of energetic ferocity and precision. With the guitar taking center stage, Justin takes the listener on a crushing journey of heavy riffs, screeching… Continue reading
Surprise! I’ve just released a new single, Embrace the Fire! This one is chock full of funky slap bass, epic brass passages, and all the chaotic shredding one can dream about! I gotta say, this song was a lot of fun to create, but really painful on the hands, especially all the bass bits. It was also used as an experiment for some new mixing techniques I’ve been messing with, including reamping with multiple effects… Continue reading
Split The Shadows is now available! Listen to it now in full in the player below, or through your preferred music service, such as Spotify, Bandcamp, etc. As happy as I am that this one is finally released, the eyes are already set upon the next project. Ideas are churning, riffs are being written, structure is forging, you know, all that funky creative stuff. Remember to check out Okzygen Records as well, I’m sure I’ll… Continue reading
Hey everyone! Here with big news today as I announce my newest release with Okzygen Records, Split The Shadows, coming out on August 16th on all major music platforms! Consisting of five tracks created over a number of years (one started in 2013!), Split The Shadows blends the typical influences of high-speed guitar technicality with the more aggressive, darker tones of industrial metal, mixed with some sinister drones. I know I say most of my… Continue reading
Typical me, always forgetting to update this site whenever I release something new! This years RPM Project has once again come and gone (Over three months ago, I know, I know) and I am proud to present you the newest release, Burn! Burn is a nine track album composed, recorded, mixed and mastered over the course of February 2019 at my private studio, Okzygen Studios. With some guest appearances from friends old and new, this… Continue reading
Hey everyone, coming in with a new update since it’s been about 6 months since I’ve posted anything. To start things off right, I’m dropping a new song right now called Visitors! This song comes off of an upcoming EP I started work in in September. This one in particular is very different compared to my other stuff, much more ambient and creepy. I’d like to get the EP out by the end of… Continue reading
So It’s been a bit since my last post, and there have been some changes and events since then. Let’s start out with some new music first. About a month ago I took up the Record Production Month challenge, where one is supposed to record and release an album in February. A few days ago I finished the project and released Megalomaniac! It was a fun little project and something that I feel a bit… Continue reading
