That's right, it's now officially 5:17am (6:11am by the time this was posted... oi...) Friday the 3rd of February... 3 days from the launch of the Newgrounds redesign on Monday. As such, this will likely be my last newspost before the redesign, hurrah!
To celebrate, this post is gonna be massive. Don't like reading? Too bad.

Anyways, I have a few things to note, in no particular order:

1: Working On Another Cover
Before I reveal what cover it is this time... Yes, I am still planning on doing my cover of Last Night, Good Night, but I've been procrastinating and finding other fun things to mess with that has been keeping me from finishing it.

This time, it's My Dearest (Opening song for a currently airing anime Guilty Crown, which I have not seen any of yet). I found this video (The one linked in the previous sentence) yesterday, and I thought it was absolutely beautiful... So once again, I went looking for a midi file so I could learn to play it. And yet again, I was unable to find one (At least a decent one), so I downloaded the sheet music and will be working from that to create my own midi.

The cool thing about this is... I've been slacking on re-learning to read sheet music, I already know all the notation and what it means, but the note names across the staff is something I've long forgotten, and worse yet, back when I did know them, I only ever had to use the treble clef, as I didn't play piano. So now I'm using this opportunity to help drill the note names into my head while I'm transcribing the sheet music to midi. 2 birds with 1 stone.

2: Above It All (Feat. Bad-Man-Incorporated)
I mentioned this a while back, that Bad-Man-Incorporated will be doing a vocal part for my song Above It All. Yes, it's been a while, and I have had a person or two ask when it's coming, and the answer is "Soon TM".
It hasn't been forgotten, it hasn't been scrapped, BMI is a busy guy. Despite this, he sent me a sample earlier yesterday, and we're working out the verse part. So it is coming, I promise.

3: Skype
Recently, the audio forum has somewhat banded together on Skype to chat, help people with issues related to their songs, feedback, and generally just have a chat group they can log into and shoot the breeze with fellow audio folk.
Given this, my Skype account has practically become my official chat medium for Newgrounds, and seeing as I am an audio mod, I figure I may as well shoot my Skype contact out to anyone that cares to chat, be it about audio issues, games, whatever.

So, here's my Skype name:
BFP
When you search that up, apparently there are like 200 results, but look for the one that has the name Back-From-Purgatory with it, and that'll be me. Feel free to add me, and shoot me a message any time.

4: Butterfly Effect
Ever seen the movie "Butterfly Effect"? Did you enjoy it? Do you enjoy anime?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, I have something for you... If you answered no to the majority of them, move on to #5.
Steins;Gate, watch it.
There are no words to describe how awesome this anime is. As suggested, it is very similar to Butterfly Effect in terms of plot elements, it is centered around the idea that changing things in the past, no matter how minor can have dire effects on the future.
The flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.

The show makes great use of this plot element as it shifts through numerous moods throughout it's 24 episodes. From lighthearted comedy, to suspense, to tragedy. Plot twists that throw you every-which-way, and a satisfying conclusion... This show deserves your attention.

5: Music, Links and Stuff
So, not exactly common knowledge, I do have a youtube account of which I post both gaming videos as well as music (Often mixed together), as well as a Soundcloud account. Why am I mentioning this? Because I'm trying to extend my reach across the internet, as dandy as Newgrounds is, as a musician, I really do need to make use of pretty much all resources available to me if I want to gain fans.

So, profile links below:
Back-From-Purgatory's Youtube
Back-From-Purgatory's Soundcloud
Back-From-Purgatory's Twitter

And now below I'm gonna list off a few submissions on my profile that I'd really love to get a little more feedback on, so listen, rate, and let me know what you think in a review (Ordered from newest to oldest):
Tick Tock (Trance)
Above It All (Metal)
A Taste of... (Version 4) (Orchestral Metal)
Them (Classical?)
Final Flight (Updated!) (Trance)
Yin (Classical)

Any extra reviews are greatly appreciated!

6: Your Opinion
Last but certainly not least... I'm looking for some public opinion.
"On what?" you ask?
My music. No, I don't mean reviews, that's what the last section was for... This time I want to know of the 3 genres I most often do, being Metal, Trance, and Classical.
Which do you enjoy the most?
Which do you think I'm best at?
And which would you like to see more of from me?

If your answer to any of those questions is something that's not metal, trance or classical, that's perfectly fine, those aren't the only genres I ever do, they're just the ones I do most often.

Your opinions are greatly appreciated!

7: Quest Complete!
As a reward for reading all the way through this ginormous newspost, I am proud to present a fucking awesome metal song:

Until next time,
Back-From-Purgatory, out.
