Death Aaron - Electric Reaper (The Early Recordings)

Yesterday was the day I released the first Electric Reaper album. I could've posted this yesterday, so why didn't I? Well, it's because recording for the new album has just begun. I'll post some progress updates on the album soon. To celebrate, I decide to upload some early recordings back in 2019 of what the songs on the first album could've been if I never learned actual songwriting and music production. Not only them, I decide to release an early version of a song that didn't make the cut and also two covers. There're no vocals because I haven't written them until the instrumentals was complete. The album was initially gonna be called Grindcore Pills because I loved Napalm Death's early stuff. The drums came from FL Studio's (back when I had the trial version) MIDI drums and definitely don't sound sincere. I could also release this on Soundcloud, but I'm limited on how much I can post and don't have the budget for upgrading. Here's some trivia about the songs, most of which I saved when I was in my mid-teens. Cartoonphile was the first song I've written for the album back in 2018. I written the first riff for Suicide In Front Of Police during church band practice. The inspiration for Vampunks came from two songs, What Is My Country from Napalm Death before they were a grindcore band and Left Wing, by 80s punk band Color. Cyborg 666 was initially recorded in D Standard before I learned about inverted power chords. Mr. Zodiac is about the Zodiac Killer because as a teen I thought unidentified serial killers are spookily interesting. Electric Reaper was later changed to Gothic Reaper because at the time when writing the lyrics I didn't know what the song Electric Reaper was about and I sorta had a goth phase. Then I finally changed it back to Electric Reaper as not only a song, but an extreme metal project because I don't want to be only known as a metal musician. I got the name Whacked to Death after remembering a scene from The Middle where Axel and his friends thought they were encounter the Grim Reaper. Hitman Vs Hitman came up to me after thinking about MADs Spy vs Spy. LSD NDE is loosly based on Death Angel's drummer Will Carroll's near-death experience from covid. Supervillain Moshin' is based on my fantasies since I was 11 about playing metal in front of supervillains from the 90s-2000s cartoons like Teen Titans, Batman, or Swat Kats. I took Zeke's Now You Die and switch them up to You Die Now. Death By Napalm kinda came from the name Napalm Death. Don't have much to say about Hell In Space other than I was saving that name when I was in my mid-teens. Face Blown/Melted Body is a love letter to Napalm Death. End Times Survival was initially the album closer, but then I figured the previous song was a better choice for a closer. I could've added it on the album as maybe a fifth or sixth track, but I want the song listing to be in chronological order as I wrote them and this track was the last original song I've written for the album before it was cut. Oh Bondage! Up Yours! is a grindcore version of X-Ray Spex's song with the same name. This project is heavily inspired by Napalm Death so why not do a carbon copy, but heavy cover of the titled track from their first album? 0:00 Cartoonphile 1:42 Suicide In Front Of Police 2:40 Vampunks 3:45 Cyborg 666 4:02 Mr. Zodiac 5:07 Electric Reaper 5:49 Whacked To Death By The Angel Of Death 7:13 Hitman Vs Hitman 9:27 LSD NDE 10:36 Supervillain Moshin' 11:40 You Die Now 12:01 Death By Napalm 12:45 Hell In Space 15:05 Face Blown/Melted Body Bonus Tracks 15:10 End Times Survival 16:34 Oh Bondage!
