So, unlike last week, I actually have something to talk about this week before I move on to my picks for Art/Audio of the Week.

So, for starters, last week I finished a new song, which is probably the longest I have ever spent on a song in one sitting (Approximately 16 hours straight recording). It's also likely the most polished metal song I've ever done, maybe it's the inclusion of bass, maybe it's the fact that I spent a lot more time on the drums... or maybe I just didn't suck it up as much as I usually do on guitar. In any case, do give it a listen and let me know what you think:
Stay Thy Hand

Secondly, so... Disgaea 4 releases this week. And I'm kind of on the fence about how I feel about that. Not because I'm skeptical of the quality of the game... I know it will be awesome. Because, you know... it's Disgaea.
Really, I'm up on the fence about how I feel about that because I procrastinated with my preorder... If I had preordered earlier like I usually do, I would have the game already, because they screwed up the schedule or something and shipped the preorders early, and a lot of people got the game this last Wednesday (This coming Tuesday is the official release, so practically a week early). But for whatever reason, I didn't preorder early like I usually do.
So now... Not only do I have to wait, I may have to wait a week PAST the release date because NIS America ran out of stock and isn't expecting the next shipment to go out until the 9th... instead of for the release on the 4th. So I'm debating cancelling my preorder (I don't need the OST that bad) and picking it up at EB games or something instead on Tuesday.
Either way though, I'm really looking forward to playing it... Always loved the over the top nature of the Disgaea franchise.

And lastly, I would like to ask you guys something, how many of you like my music enough to pay for it? Someone brought up selling stuff on iTunes in a recent review, and while I'm not planning on doing so right away, I'd like to get a feel for where I'm at on the matter. Because it's not free to get stuff on iTunes, and I'd have to make well over 350-400 sales in the first year to make any profit after all the costs.
Let me know! Should the feedback be good, I may end up doing so sooner (Although not likely before I finish one of my fabled albums).

Finally, here are my picks of the week!

Song of the Week:
Artist: Preyfour
Song: Limitless
Purgatory Comment:
Preyfour is someone I ran into while doing a modding session, and I was absolutely blown away by his way of mixing 8-bit and dubstep, it really feels like a fresh take on 2 popular genres... Mixed together.

Art of the Week:
Artist: ZakkVanBurace
Art: Midnight Melody
Purgatory Comment:
I originally came across Zakk while looking for some art to put on my latest video on youtube, and I was blown away by the quality of his submissions, while anime is an extremely popular style, he still seems to manage making it unique in his own way without resorting to ridiculous tactics such as skewed proportions or cheesy gimmicks.
To top it off, I'm a musician, an otaku, and I absolutely love the violin as an instrument, so it's only natural that I would enjoy this piece. Very clean and detailed piece that deserves more attention that it's getting.
