Nocturnal Media

A new Volcandra EP is mixed and nearly ready to bless the ear holes of the world.

Another Volcandra x Nocturnal Media project for the books. Thanks for keeping the faith and your unending trust, m'boys. Can't wait for the next one.

The ideal drummer, in my eyes, is a drummer with the power and insanity of Ben Koller, and the thoughtfulness/technique of Blake Richardson. This is not a common type. In fact, this is practically a legendary type that is often not found in the wild.

The moral of the story:

***I need a drummer***

A drummer that can tour.
A drummer that doesn't have a girlfriend that HAS to follow the van the whole time or you CAN'T go.

That one is very important.

A drummer that is good with a metronome (ideally).
A drummer that can play fast punk/hardcore/blast beats/etc.
A drummer that will show up.
A drummer that doesn't have any substance abuse issues.
A drummer that's at least a decently cool dude.
Trying to get away from the Converge comparisons a bit, but a drummer that loves Ben Koller style chaos.

Help me out. Come play with me.

Share this with your friends so that Bowels can be primed and ready to slap your faces with the riffs when shows are a thing again.

New track from the Stonecutters boys - "The Absurdist" hit the world this past week. Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by yours truly.

Kentucky-based metal band, Stonecutters, are a prime example of a band you should familiarize yourself with in the emerging metal scene today, and we're stoked to premiere their latest track "The Absurdist"! A reference to their sharp wit writing, blending elements of black metal, thrash, Gothenbur

Just a quick thanks to all homies that gave a quick like or a share, whatever. The love is greatly appreciated.

For anyone unaware of what this is all about:

My name is Devin Harper, and I'm a record producer right here in Louisville, KY. I specialize in all facets of heavy ass music and fat-ass riffs. Music that makes you want to punch your friends. That makes you want to rip a b**g and worship volume. That makes you want to scream in a cave in the forest, covered in co**se paint. That makes you want to slam TurboLovers and shotgun white claws. That makes you want to twirl your hair around and headbang with those aforementioned friends. Or alone in your bedroom. Or driving real fast down the expressway. I don't recommend that last one, but you do you.

I've been involved in the metal scene here for just about a decade now and the people here are nothing short of amazing. I do this because I love music. Because I love art. There are few feelings in this life that are more gratifying to me than helping people bring their art into physical existence. Especially for people as incredible as these.

My intention is to provide as many resources as possible to further your artistic vision and in turn, inspire my own. This is Nocturnal Media. This is what chose me. Who am I to say no?

That said, if you (or anyone you know) are interested in furthering your artistry and treating yourself to some high-quality recordings/mixes, you can find a link to my portfolio here. Holler at me. Let's get it.
