Falling In Reverse [Promo]/[News]


[Fact] - Many of you may (or may not) be familiar with the post-hardcore band Escape the Fate. Those of you who have heard specially their notorious of them may also know their first lead singer, the notorious "bad boy" (I hate using that phrase) Ronnie Radke.  Well, long story short, Radke wound up in some deep trouble with the law, and spent some time in prison.  During this sentence, Escape the Fate kicked Ronnie out of the band.  When he got out, Radke started a new band, and some songs even tell the story of what happened to Ronnie.

The Queenston's "Figurehead" [Promo]

Dave Remmler, better known as his online alias "Renard Queenston", is an electronic musician.  He develops techno using software such as ModPlug Tracker and Sony's ACID Pro.  "Renard" founded LapFox Trax, the record label, and releases all of his music under it.  He is also involved in game and graphic design.

 aliases: Klippa
Now since we're past that little intro, this article's main focus is to promote one of Queenston's many albums:  Figurehead (particularly the Remastered edition).

[Opinion] - This is one of my favorite albums of his.  He experiments in many different areas of techno, and it all sounds good.  Queenston is not only a great music producer, but he is also a great lyricist.  In fact, one of my favorite songs of all time is on this album.  The song, "Break Away", features a simple but catchy riff, and thought-provoking lyrics.

[Fact] - Figurehead was one of Queenston's biggest releases, and as he noted on the album's Bandcamp page, "I was unfortunate enough to discover a lot of new mastering applications and techniques very shortly after Figurehead's original release, and i feel it is very deserving of a good do-over."  This is why we have the Remastered edition, which features new songs with more artists.  The album is on a name-your-price basis, and you can (and I suggest you do) pick it up here.
