Mechanical Holocaust – PREVIEW

I’m feeling a little generous and want to give you a quick preview of what my track “Mechanical Holocaust” will sound like for the album. If you picked up the Breathing the Machine EP you would have heard a demo version of this track, and I’ve since gone in and completely re-worked it from the ground up. I think the only things that I kept were the machine sfx and my friend Ewart’s bassline (he is also the man responsible for the Breathing the Machine EP cover artwork as well as the artwork for the full album…. and I gotta tell you it looks kick ass!)

So here’s a sample of things to come. What do you think?

Controlling your mind / Mental genocide / You can’t escape the truth / This is your mechanical holocaust

Controlling your mind
Synthetic thoughts forming the perfect formula for mental genocide
Don’t try to hide
You can’t escape the truth
You’ve already lost
This is your mechanical holocaust

Fueled by power
Fueled be greed
I am all that you need
Your utopia, the source
(The omega)
When in reality
I’m the perfect enemy

Heart pumps black tar like a menacing fuel
……..

Unfair (Remix Kit)

For those remixers out there and people who wish to cover my track “Unfair”, I’ve got some good news for you! I’m giving you the stems so you can go ahead and slice away at those files and remix it into your own creation! I look forward to seeing and hearing what kind of madness you guys create!

Bullet of Reason – UNFAIR [REMIX KIT]

To Newtown With Love Bundle

The Newtown With Love bundle, put together by FiXT and Groupees has officially launched! You can pick up a wide range of music from many different artists like Celldweller, Blue Stahli, Voicians, Squarehead and many more! I’ve also got “Black Widow” as well as an unreleased track “Resolution” from my upcoming album featured on the “Music For Newtown” compilation.

The #ToNewtownWithLove Bundle was organized in response to the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary this past December. As creators, we understand that art can provide joy, inspiration and meaning to people. However, as powerful of medium as the arts can be, they cannot undo the loss of life or the impact a tragedy like this has on the victims’ families, friends, community, and the rest of the world. Our goal for this promotion is to support, uplift, and memorialize the spirits of the victims and their families as well as shine a bright and enduring light on the community of Newtown. May the World not simply stop for a moment to take pity on a small town and its people, but rather may we all be reminded everyday by the work of these artists that change is needed to prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again anywhere and everywhere.

All content has been donated & 100% of donations will be donated to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, a charitable fund established jointly by United Way of Western Connecticut and Newtown Savings Bank to support the Newtown community following the Sandy Hook School tragedy.

Head over to http://groupees.com/newtown between Jan 3 – 17 where you can make your donation! $1 (minimum) for access to a ‘limited’ initial bundle or $5+ (public can donate any amount over $5 they wish for access to the whole initial bundle)

Best Regards,

Adam of Bullet of Reason

Unfair… and the future!

If you’ve been following me on Facebook, you would know that I’ve been working on reconstructing the single “Unfair” off my first album to give it a little more punch and to make it as aggressive as I originally intended it to be. It will actually be featured on the upcoming album “Breathing the Machine”.

I did, however, say that I might actually have this track done by the end of this year. Conveniently I finished the mastering process last night and had a listen to it on the big boy speakers and was finally happy with it.

So before I get to it (unless you’ve already scrolled down and downloaded it as you’re reading this), I just wanted to thank you all for being with me this year. It’s been an incredible year full of knowledge and making new friends and catching up with all the old ones and doing my absolute best to keep track of everything that’s been going on in my life. You are all the reason why I continue to strive to make Bullet of Reason better and better (at least, I think it’s getting better… for all I know you could be thinking it’s a piece of crap), and I plan on involving each and every one of you on the upcoming album somehow to try and show my thanks. 2012 was a big year, but the plans I have for 2013 are even bigger….. maybe even hopefully getting a chance to see you in the crowd somewhere and get in front of a camera to start making some videos………. I digress.

Happy New Year to all you kick ass peeps out there and here’s to 2013!

Quick preview of “Unfair”

I’ve decided that the mix I’m working on for “Unfair” is good enough to show you a real quick preview of one of the choruses. When compared to the original track I did a few years back, you can see how much of a difference there actually is……. and I like it! At this rate, the track will be done sometime this year!!!!! YAY!

What do you think?

Judas

It’s been awhile in the making…. there’s been a few bumps on the way. Session changing completely, lyrics being re-written. But I can finally say that my newest track “Judas” is ready to take over your ears and scream at you. Chalk another track up for “Breathing the Machine”. Maybe I’ll have the full album ready sometime in the next few years!

Enjoy.

Mixtape for your listening pleasure!

It’s been a little bit since there’s been any activity on my website so I gift you a free Mixtape of a litte DJ session I did this evening. Why not go ahead and download it and let it take over your brain with beats and bass and some Bullet of Reason madness!

Bullet of Reason – DJ Mixtape (Aug 12, 2012)

Enjoy!!

Breathing the Machine – There is Progress!!!

Well I’ll be damned, just mixed 3 tracks that needed to be mixed for awhile now (levels were bugging the hell out of me). And I may have an unsuspected track appearing on the album which will more than likely be an instrumental downtempo track. I have a feeling it’ll probably be the track that closes the album. As of this moment, I think it’s safe to say that 8 tracks for “Breathing the Machine” are done and ready for the mastering stage. Just a few more tracks to flesh out and mix properly and re-record some vox and guitars and reprogram some synths and strings and then mix and level and get it all ear-tingly-nice. This album may come out sooner than I even expected at this rate!

On a side note, June 18th is going to be my next live show. This time, if all goes well, I plan on actually singing a couple of my tracks from Breathing the Machine and then mixing that into my DJ set. You can get all the information on where I’ll be playing RIGHT HERE!

And some of you may be wondering when in the hell I’m going to do my online DJ broadcast where you can actually sit back (or rock out) to a full Bullet of Reason DJ set in your very own home wherever you are in the world!  Well, I’m still putting that playlist together and I can tell you this: It’ll probably kick start the summer. More details on that to come! Next, I’ll try to figure out how I can actually do that by popping out of the screen and into your living rooms or wherever you keep your computers.

Stay tuned… 

Digital Embrace is here!

Time to go back to the roots that Bullet of Reason came from. It’s funny, this is one of the quickest tracks I put together for the new album and I love the way it turned out.

Enough chit-chat… here’s my new track “Digital Embrace”
