otakuoverdrive’s YouTube channel tends to feature some excellent Japanese freeform, and recently he outdid himself with an awesome and very obscure umbrella track. Descent 0.7 was apparently only released on a mini-album from White Evil (way back in 2007) which explains why it completely passed me by until now. There’s an obvious Finnish influence here, but also more than a hint of ThermalForce in the simple, addictive and heavily filtered riffs.
It reminds me that I’ve got another great (and old) umbrella track on a hard drive somewhere with a higher bpm and a really nice Afternoon Owl-style lead. I don’t even know the title, but as there might be time for a ustream this month I’ll try to play it then.
Nice that you liked it. I usually try to upload a 50:50 mix of known and unknown tracks. This umbrella tune was just too good to stay so unknown. 🙂
Is there a way to contact this guy? Love his production, specially one track I got in some mix and would really like to buy/get it.
Looks like he’s most active on twitter these days, so that might be the best idea: @blackteashop
I’ve been trying to get ahold of alot of White Evil from 06-07, but its so difficult to find its unbelievable…
Yes, the first White Evil + few first M&C Rec. are nearly impossible to find.
It’s hard to find indie stuff stuff at all, but it’s even harder to find indie stuff, which was released in japan, in a very limited amount, years ago. x_x
