Equilibria - Blood Moon (Teaser)

Author Comments

Here's a taste of the intro in Equilibria's newly finished original, Blood Moon! This track is a midtempo, rock/metal-influenced EDM fusion (we really don't know what genre to classify it as haha). It's something completely different for us, and was a challenge but it was fun to make. There's still some work to do on the full track, but we're happy enough with it to release this preview.

This track is exclusive to the EP and won't be officially released until the EP is done, but here's something to hold you over until then.

Huh, only just found this version on your page xD I like the changes you've made in the full release, especially taking out the weird wubs at around 1:10. Either way I love seeing the progress artists make between their songs so thank you for keeping this up! :P

Dylnmatrix responds:

The weird wubs were taken out by complete mistake lol. I had muted them for some unknown reason and never unmuted them before the render. Happy mistake I guess?

I love the tranquil and somewhat dark intro. You might need a smoother transition into :18. Perhaps a larger pause there would help. Sometimes the progression of the guitar and piano seems a bit frantic and hard-to-follow. Some pads/drums/basslines might help tie everything together nicely. I enjoyed the gritty, hard-hitting drop at 1:10. I thought your drums were a little loud, but I enjoyed the bridge towards the end of the track as it is now (I'm sure it won't be the end to the track upon its completion). ;) There's a lot of potential here - I like the instruments and the themes. Maybe you should think about the structure/progression and transitions a bit more, though. Keep it up, DM! ^^

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks man! Since this is only the intro of the track, a lot of the structure is pretty simple in the teaser. It gets really complex as the track moves on. We took a ton of influence from some of our favorite metal/EDM tracks, notably most of Seamless' metal tracks. It's a brand new area for us, so making the track progress well was difficult although fun.

The mixing stuff you brought up has been fixed now (not in the teaser but the track itself). The teaser was made before I began the mastering process.

This track is really something different and unique from us, so I hope you enjoy it when the EP releases!

Thanks for the review man! (And sorry about the suuper late reply haha)

I am very fond of this track, I would like your permission to use it in a video of mine.

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks. We're fine with you using it, so long as we get proper credit, but just know that this isn't the full track, and if you wish for the full track, I hope you don't mind waiting another month for us to release it.

If you want to use just the preview, PM me and I'll send you the mp3.
