Progressive Speedcore / Industrial Black Metal Mix


Ever since I started producing music at age 15, I had an idea for a specific genre, or rather, concept:
"Progressive Speedcore".
I didn't choose the name until much later, though, and it probably isn't the right term.

As a Hardcore and Speedcore fan, I noticed that a lot of tracks had a similar structure.
What I yearned to listen to instead were tracks that had speed changes, ambient passages, atonal and arrhythmic sequences, experimentation, bleeding into other genres, even from different or ancient cultures.
A bit like the most experimental of prog- or krautrock.
Hence the name.

I tried to do this for several decades. And here are parts of these results.

Note: I also aimed at industrial black metal / blackened speedcore in most tracks.
They often lack guitar sounds, though.
Yet, "guitar-less" black metal projects do exist.
So I consider this to be a form of industrial black metal in which the synths play a prominent role.

Considering what I wrote above, it might be best to term this as a kind of "progressive black metal speedcore" mix.
