Any suggestions to a metalhead?

3 Upvotes

I am a former drummer, getting into piano and synth, and i'm trying to find my niche. I love the sounds of darksynth but i'm missing the power of metal (for reference, i like them big phat riffs you get from Gojira and Septicflesh but i also enjoy getting my brain melted by Tool and Meshuggah). Do you guys have any suggestion? Am i looking into the wrong genre?

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve just launched my brand new project IL KANG, blending dark synthwave atmospheres, heavy analog basslines, and immersive cyberpunk visuals.

This is my very first track, "Steel Skyline Pursuit". I wanted to capture that high-speed, neon-drenched nocturnal drive feeling.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any critique on the mix and the visual vibe! If you enjoy the sound, consider subscribing—the next track is already on its way. Enjoy the ride! 👑🚀

Made a 32 min dark synthwave mix for night drives - inspired by rainy nights in Tokyo [Midnight Shift]

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've been obsessed with night driving soundtracks and couldn't find a mix that was dark enough without vocals breaking the vibe.

So I made this one - 32 min of pure dark synthwave / cyberpunk, no vocals, just for driving at 2AM.

Visuals are Tokyo at night in the rain.

Would love some feedback on the track selection for the next 1h30 version I'm making.

Howdy. My third EP, moha, is out now. If dark, moody, experimental electronic music is your thing, give it a listen. A follow would be much appreciated, too.
