So what made me want to Reform Rancid Abomination in 2016?
Well for starters, the music itself...
I had found among other things, an actual copy of Eternal hate and pestilence in an old 2003 backup I still had. I tried it by chance, and I loved it. I kept listening to that and other songs by Rancid Abomination for weeks. I asked Hitman213 to see if he could find anymore Rancid Abomination for me to listen to... He let me keep whatever I found... All he found was the Bleeding... So All I had left now for Rancid Abomination Albums that I did were EHAP, The Bleeding and a compilation of old 2001 songs redone in 2003 with 2003 vocals. That's it. That's 3 out of 22 cd's I had. I had 19 that I could never get back... I was desperate.
I tried several different things to get back RA stuff...
A) Tried loading data recovery programs and looking at my Old Mp3 player's files through them to try to recover old Rancid Abomination Mp3 songs from it. Never panned out no matter how good the software was, it failed.
B) Tried searching on Mp3 hosting sites to find files. Found none but songs I uploaded to soundcloud recently.
C) Tried to find my old mp3.com site for the band and use the wayback machine to recover mp3 files. Couldn't do that either because the wayback machine never even bothered archiving MY MUSIC. Pissed me off to no end... Since I deleted it because no one liked the stuff it was not available to search for...
None of that worked.... So you know what I did...
I reformed it to make new cd's....
That was my answer, make better ones...
It payed off.... . BIG TIME!
Since that fateful day in September 2016, Rancid Abomination has recorded 7 new cd's and they are all good but one. That's amazing. The final one I recorded was a few nights ago and it came out amazing. The quality of the newly written material was insane. So Insane that I think it's better than the old stuff..
But the amount of times I listened to RA Stuff I found in backups or in stuff given back by hitman213 was astonishing. I had over 1000+ plays by 1 month in of Rancid Abomination. It became my favorite band to listen to on last.fm in only 1 month! It dwarfed even Windir and that was amazing. Making new cd's helped a lot.
It was important that I reformed Rancid Abomination and got it back to normal. I had uploaded some of it to soundcloud but it never would do good there. In fact it would do pitiful there till I got it on Jamendo later. But getting back into it made me realize it was the best solo artist/band I have ever worked on. The melodies were insane. I also realized that it's style is unique among black metal bands which is cool...
I had to write new cd's for this. The music was amazing... Almost as amazing as what I would do in 2016 in September. That is for the next Chapter....
