After having spent a significant amount of time working on this project, seeing it fully realised and reading what everyone thinks of it today feels magical. This project, for me, was a personal exercise in artistic discipline. To everyone who listened, thank you for respecting me, my work, and the time it took to build this record. Enjoy dead load, a comprehensive study of nature's persistance.

dead load is sadly just a bunch of clichés placed together for a rather forgettable and very artificial experience, textures and atmosphere are mostly gone as the project tries it's best to be constantly changing but in my opinion fails at most of the things it tries to do, glad someone from aoty is making something different from the same 3 genres but this is still really generic and very fearful of breaking any actual frontier
I saw this album particularly rave reviews upon its original release, so I figured, why not, let’s check it out. But rather than breaking this one down track by track, I figured I’d just take this album as a collective experience.
Jazz. Metal. Two genres which seemingly can’t really coexist comfortably together. Sure, there’s Prog Metal, which can feature instruments also featured in jazz. As far as I know, there’s no such thing as Jazz Metal. Why do I bring up ... read more

I think this was the biggest AOTY user battle since last May when those two blokes were arguing about how to like the Billy Woods album the right way (after both giving it a 100/100). Crazy that was a year ago. Anyway, @PinkEel the ai accusations are dubious as hell but like the person below me said sharing the files ain't a bad idea (if that doesn't incur any problems)

What kinda Mossad-level AI system do these people think generated this album 😭😭 we KNOW what AI music sounds like and it is NOT this

ok, im 100% convinced that this is AI. dude has Trump level of excuses and an army of goons. The video "proof" made me even more suspicious. what do you mean you can't show the midi for the PMS? the one thing that could prove that these sounds are not AI generated? + the fact that dude is studying engineering (and jerking off about how hard it is and anyone who knows what he's studying knows how hard it is etc etc) makes me only believe that he knows how to work these AI gen models.
