Helblinde CD? Is it finally time?
As hard as it is to believe, I decided that after 3 years of free releases and various compilation CDs it was time to do something new. I've always wanted to make a CD of my own, but I never felt that I was good enough. Until now.
First and foremost I will let you know why I'm doing a "kickstarter" project for this.
As a student currently living in Tokyo, my money situation isn't something that grant me the possibility of producing a CD without knowing it will sell. It's a big gamble, and I need to prioritize food and rent (quite obvious huh?)
This is why I'm giving this a shot, if enough money is generated, I will get to work straight away and make sure that it's a CD you would all want to buy.
The 1500$ funding that is needed will go to album artwork, printing and shipping. I will not make that much from this at that goal, but that's fine. I'm mainly doing this because I really want to, money is not the issue.
Planned release is June/July 2013. I will keep you updated every week with progress.
What will the CD Include?
A 16 track CD, 12 new Helblinde songs + 4 guest tracks by great producers will be the final product. Expect the normal gaijincore style that you have all gotten used to by now, with various 200bpm genres included (UK Hardcore, Tribecore, Frenchcore, Speedcore) Anime/game/eroge-remixes.
It will be a 50/50 split of happy, and hard music. So if you like hardcore music in general, this should be something you'd want to pick up!
It would be great if you are interested in bringing this project alive!
As a special thanks:
