The brainchild of Dan Taylor (long time bass player for Metroid Metal), this collab features original music with several members of Metroid Metal and MANY others, and it’s all original stuff – heavy, quirky, and catchy as hell! It features vocals by James Moats, who will wow you with his layering. I believe Dan said the record was 16 vocal parts for a track.
It was a blast to play on, and it’s COVERED in musicianship. You won’t believe it. Jump through some tracks and name your price for it at http://www.yesmayhem.com/
Here’s the first official trailer for Alpha Squad – with a shortened version of my theme song. They are also running a contest. Just post a comment on the video and win a chance to be an NPC in the game with your choice of dialogue. I like!
Hello! I now have a home base for all my Stemage activity that isn’t Facebook or that awful Myspace page. This is a good thing… ON with the updates:
Alpha Squad track: You can check out a FULL track from the new Alpha Squad game for Xbox Live Indies. It’s the City Theme – one of the 16 tracks from the game. And here’s the first gameplay footage! It looks like the Smash TV / Zelda hybrid that I’ve been hearing about. Can’t wait! Should be out soon, on the cheap.
Another video game soundtrack: I’ll be contributing two new songs for the upcoming 3D puzzler Radiant Escape from talented Binary Sonata Studios. More on that as it happens.
Yes Mayhem (Chunkstyle’s new album) is almost done! I’m 11/12 done with the mastering process. Yes Mayhem’s core contains 3 members of Metroid Metal Live as well as other gentlemen from Chunk’s past. It’s heavy, catchy, and quirky, and YOU WILL LIKE IT. Hear a sample of the upcoming original album on Dan’s site.
Hello. Some info is finally out on the Xbox Live Indie game sountrack I’ve been spending WAY too much time on. The game is called Alpha Squad, and it will be out this summer. You can hear a quick snippet of 3 tunes from the game (City, Sewer, and Winter levels) here.
Also, you can buy my full length album “Strati” for only $8 on bandcamp, and you can stream the whole thing while you’re there.
Wow, it’s been a while since this site was updated! In short, a new instrumental Stemage record is coming this year, and it’s already over halfway done – won’t be long now. Also, there will be a new and EXCLUSIVE Stemage track on the Songs for the Cure ’10 compilation over at www.cancerdrive.org. Donate by March 1st and get the physical CD for free. More updates coming shortly – LOTS going on.
You can now purchase Strati right on Itunes! Stemage was also recently interviewed by Press Play Record. Check out the review here. Thank you all for the wonderful support!
"Strati is damn impressive … and a benchmark in any genre. You’ll swear ‘Library’ involves J. Robbins on guitar, vocals, or twiddling knobs somewhere." - Illinois Entertainer
"I have no idea who this dude is, or why he recorded an album full of crappy nü-metal riffs with his shitty high school talent show vocals on top of wannabe emo verses... Plus, what the f**k's up with the Good Charlotte cover art?" - PunkNews.org
