Hey everyone, it's time once again to smash that like button because I'm back with more lofi this week. This is one of the few tracks that Derrick and I actually got to sit down in the same room and create together from nothing and I really like the way it turned out. Usually we send each other ideas to branch off from or just get the other person's input about something specific. Little did we know when we did this back in March that we wouldn't be allowed to be in a room together again unti...

Like I said in a previous post, I was talking to some artist friends about getting new merch made and also had Mariah Carey stuck in my head, so now I present "The Presence." This design will be available until Christmas, and afterwards only the sticker option will be staying up in the merch store. In January I will also be launching some new Katy Scary merch to go along with the demo I'm putting out later this month because are you really a modern death metal band if you don't have more merc...

Hey, everyone, I'm hoping this is my only weekly update this month that isn't dropping a new song because I have a ton of stuff planned for the next few weeks.
This week I'll be opening a Katy Scary merch store on Teespring just like the one I have for Klaymore. I had Mariah Carey stuck in my head like we all do at this time of year and was talking to some of my friends about looking for artists, and long story short: this Lovecraft Christmas piece will be for sale starting on Wednesda...

After a year and a half, dozens of singles, and multiple remix albums, I'm very happy to announce that the first Factory Flora album of all original music is finally here. The cassette tapes will be available next month, but right now the full album is available on all platforms, so be sure to check it out on YouTube and Spotify. I have had a lot of fun making stress free music, so I hope this gives you all some relaxing vibes as well. Huge thanks to Derrick for exploring this genre with me, ...

The way Spotify lists things can be confusing so I just wanted to make this post to make sure it was clear where to listen to the Gobi's Valley cover when you're on Spotify. The album producers also had us pick a name for the song that wasn't just "Gobi's Valley," so it's listed under "Scorching Sands" which I'm sure was just brilliant for search engine optimization. Anyway. Be sure to stream it here when you aren't on YouTube and add it to your metal playlists

I have a bunch of content to drop before the year is over, and I'm glad it's all finally coming together, Last week I put out my first single for my death metal project, next week I'll drop my first album of original music with Factory Flora, but today we have the Gobi's Valley redemption arc video.
In 2014 I dropped a cover of this song and it sounded like absolute trash, so I jumped on the opportunity to do it over this year. It's been on Spotify since April, but I wanted to wait to ...

Finally here: my first song for my death metal solo project. The demo was posted for patrons in October, but this is the final (and extended) version with vocals. This was originally written to be played on Chris Wehkamp's (voice actor in My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball Super, Phoenix Wright, etc.) live streams on Twitch when viewers could demand that he eat gross candy. So yeah this was initially intended as the theme music for a middle aged man filling his mouth with candy corn and black lico...

This week I spent some time messing with After Effects to make my videos look better and spent a LOT of time scheduling everything that's happening in the near future.
This video clip has some of the new things I've learned like the rolling fog in the background, and I finally found a way to have objects move on their own without me entering a million edits to animate it manually. The final version of this video will be out on 12/19 and might look SLIGHTLY different. I'll probably cont...

After skimming through Fiverr for several weeks, narrowing down my choices, collecting reference info, and going back and forth with the designer for several days, I finally have a brand new Katy Scary logo. I'll be updating social media with it over the course of the next week but I wanted to make sure that you guys were the first to see it completed. I also have some updates on everything else that I have in the works below.

Since I was working on the Night Crawler cover and you guys already heard it Saturday, I don't really have anything else to show you that I worked on this week, SO I'm going to let you guys know what's happening in the immediate future.
The Night Crawler cover has been submitted to Spotify and will be available on all streaming platforms as soon as it's processed. I'm not sure how long that will take because since Covid hit their processing times have been wildly inconsistent, and cove...

I think this is the 4th October in a row that Colin and I have done a collaboration video, so to carry on the tradition, this year I got to make all sorts of weird vocal noises in Colin's cover of Night Crawler. Check it out, smash the like, and leave the two of us a comment on YouTube. As always, Colin killed it, and I'm hoping for another video with him sooner than next October!

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the delay on this week's update; I wanted to make the video a little more interesting to watch, didn't realize that After Effects exported it as a 50gb file, and then it took YouTube 11 hours to upload and process it, but it's finally here!
This song is going to be available ONLY to patrons for the foreseeable future. I've been promising more metal content on the Klaymore channel for the last 6 weeks now and still haven't managed to iron out all the kinks in ge...

This month I'm doing vocals for a cover of Nightcrawler by Judas Priest as part of a Halloween-esque collaboration. The video will be out on the 31st, but until then I wanted to share my favorite part of the vocals which is where I took the highest part of the song and added higher harmonies on top of it because I have no self control. Enjoy the preview and I'll post the finished product here on the 31st!

This weekend was probably the last nice weekend we'll have until next year so I tried to take full advantage of it. Alex and I went out to the woods and filmed a video for the Secret of Mana cover, "The Oracle," that I gave a final mix preview of in August. Secret of Mana has a really forest-oriented vibe to it, and the cover is on the more extreme metal side, so I figured it was time for a stereotypical black metal woods video to combine those two elements. The song's release date is up to t...

This week I was conscripted into a really weird project that made me slightly reevaluate how my life got to this point. To attempt to make a long and weird story short, a voice actor from the only show that I watch started something on his live streams where people pay him to eat gross candy so they can watch his reaction. He told one of his audio engineer friends that he wanted "cursed" music to play in the background while he did this, so they came to me to write a black metal/death metal s...

This week I worked on getting new merch designed based on the Klaymore Facebook frame we had circulating in 2019 and definitely nothing else. I can't decide if the design should have the black background in the circle so please COMMENT here with which you like better, either black background or no background, to help me decide. There will be more color shirts available and black shirts and white shirts will also be available, I just didn't show an example on a black shirt because there's no d...

This week was vocal practice. I was asked to sing a Judas Priest cover for a friend's channel, so I decided to start trying to take care of my voice again since I absolutely haven't been since I finished my last guest musician sessions last month. An online community I'm in has a karaoke night every Friday so I decided to join them this week so that I could see how my voice was holding up and try to see what I needed to work on. I figured I would share it with you guys since live music is pre...

Hey everyone, this month we're proud to release a remix we've been sitting on for more than 6 months, so it's great to finally have it out there. It's part of a huge compilation album that you can listen to in full on Spotify, so be sure to check out the whole thing after you of course like and comment on our video on YouTube. This remix also features our friend James Rushin who helped us adjust some of our chord voicings, added some great ambient synth pads, and performed a celeste solo in t...
