so today is my birthday, happy birthday me yes very cool awesome yippeeeeee!

The album I'm working on that will be released soon-ish is called "Rule By the Sword", with special thanks to Matt$, the creator of Cyrix and Machine's ballad, for a couple things on the project.

One, he made the art for the album - linked below.

Two, the name of the album also comes from him. You see, about 3ish years ago me, Jackie, and Matt were to do a big collab but it fell apart because I'm an idiot and don't know how to be a person :D

The album will also be a continuation of my story "The End of a Generation", in which we begin with the controversial unification of the United Nations followed with an even more controversial leadership change, leading to them being considerable... bad, to say the least.

There will be at least 8 songs, possibly 9. It evolved from an EP because I was really flowing with the music wooʰᵒᵒ

My greatest birthday present you can do is to listen to the songs, I'll do something different for its release and release each song one day apart from each other, as if a big little series.

PS: There's two songs that are very special in it... :)

Today, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am announcing a small EP!

Since I uploaded the Turkish Thrash song, I've started working on two new songs that are now finished. I am making a new EP, maybe only 4 or 5 songs on it that are all doom-metal inspired tracks. It focuses on the low-end, slow, and, for lack of a better word, "Grunkly". I even pulled out a real guitar for one of the songs, soon maybe another one.

I hope you listen to it, I promise I'll actually release the thing I announce this time :)

I have severely overestimated my abilities, I might have to delay the big project. I need to get album art, finalize the song, get something specific for one of the parts, and a couple other things.

When I said I was going to release the project this month, that was when I had less than half of the song done and written.

I've been working on something pretty big for the past, say 4 or so years. Its a song designed to tell a story, over an hour in length when all segments are played together. It tells a story of a world, similar to ours, where a third world war happens. After the world war, many events unfold, and soon you will see the first thing I've ever fully released relating to this world.

I have a lot written on this world, and it goes well beyond a third world war. In fact, it goes 200 years beyond that.

Expect it in May.

today is my birthday, yeah

Discord - The Unnamed Player#6201

Here's the second iteration of the Unnamed Rambles about topics that approximately two people care about.

The Switch

The Switch is complicated. If you don't know, I'm on Twitter a lot and its where a lot of my commissions and stuff come from (@peyton5chord). However, as many know, Twitter has been decreasing in popularity, its value plummeting, and other sorts of corporate economic dribble that not one of you care about. So I've been thinking of other medias to involve myself.

If you're unfamiliar, I have a Discord. This is my business Discord here: The Unnamed Player#6201, but if you want to be friends with me you should message and ask first about that.

But Discord isn't what I want, as its different from other social media in its own right. I want something to meet new people from something not server related. Twitter originally filled that hole, but I want something that doesn't practically enslave their workers (You should know how I feel in this situation based on some of my songs and their deeper meanings). So I thought instead, why not just come here? I have a little community for myself, and I'd like to become more involved with the Newgrounds community! I've always loved this site, being a fan of it since I was an unrestricted little kid on the internet.

The only issue is, and I know this, most of the people on my profile are only here for the music. They don't necessarily care about my posts, and I know this because no one really says anything on these little posts. Maybe I'll make a spoken word thing about this then, maybe then ya'll would fuckin' listen to me? (joking)

So basically, I was thinking of just going to this site for the remainder of my time on the internet (which will likely be as long as either I live or until society collapses).

The New

The New is something that does have relations to your pleasure in listening to music.

In the last one of these rambling topics, I mentioned how people wanted me on your streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, Amazon, and all of those. With the advent of one of my incredibly generous friends, they have offered to pay for it. Man, that is just... so nice of them. Thank you, MoldyFunguj! (That's his name, yes)

So yes, I'm now on these streaming services like Spotify and more thanks to Distrokid. This very generous donation-like entry into my life is something I needed, as I haven't felt entirely great as of late. This last half year hasn't been too amazing in terms of new music, the only exception being my Your Best Nightmare & Finale cover on Youtube, but that's it.

Well, of course the 17th place in the underground audio composition is something as well, but its not something where you meet someone you don't know online and say that, because then you have to give the whole context.

So, go listen to the Spotify stuff. If its profitable enough, I won't feel guilty by keeping this guy paying for it (even though he did offer it)

Now there is more, my very vague announcements about a new song coming out on the 10th. I'm keeping it vague, and I haven't even shown it to really many people because I really do want this one to be special. Last year, and really my big entry to this musical spotlight, I did a cover of Carol of the Bells. This year, I'm doing it again, but better. With my more advanced knowledge that I learned from the very nice judges at the NGUAC, I have some professional sounding full orchestral-rock arrangement that will also be on Spotify and other services.

Hey Alexa, play Carol of the Bells 2022 Arrangement by The Unnamed Player

i'm funni

Other than that, not much. Gonna take a break from music for a bit, let the ideas hit up again and then we'll get right back to it, full force and see what I come up with! Of course now I'll be on the streaming services, can't you tell how happy I am about that?

The Ugly

To put it bluntly, I'm completely burnt out on music. In the past month I have made... about ten commissions. Each 2 minutes, some 4 and one 3. I'm completely out of ideas and I have absolutely nothing. So unfortunately, I won't make anything until I do feel like it. I know, its unfortunate, but after I come back I have a real big special project today.

That's it ya'll!

Last year, I uploaded one of my most popular songs do this date - A cover of Carol of the Bells. This year, I'm trying my luck with it again and it might become a yearly tradition for me.

No longer do I call it a cover, though... its more of a whole arrangement. Comes out on the 10th of December.

I hope to see your reactions :)

listen to it now.
