Reflections
Reflections
Melodic Death-Doom with a little psychedelic touch
SoundClick artist Extinguished Fire presents "Reflections", a remarkable release in the Heavy Metal genre. The production choices feel intentional, giving the track a distinct character. With a tone that is melodic and sad, this track connects on an emotional level. "Reflections" has peaked at number 3 on the SoundClick Heavy Metal chart. For fans of Psychedelic looking for something new, Extinguished Fire delivers on SoundClick.
Extinguished Fire is a one man project, playing melodic death/doom with some farfetched influences from Unholy and (old) Anathema. A touch of psychedelic influences are added by the lead guitar: it has a warm (maybe even Pink Floydish) sound, but is still heavy.
Band/artist history
Started in 2003 by accident: instead of making a 8 second score I made the 2 minute intro of Reflections. The rest of the song came naturally.
Since then I wrote some stuff and I will record it when I have the time for it. (Slowpaced music recorded even slower).
Now, spring 2005, new songs are almost finished...
Your musical influences
Like said before, great influences are Unholy and Anathema, but there are offcourse a lot more influences (doom or not doom). The only question is can they be heard?
I find bands as In The Woods..., Pink Floyd, Neurosis, Queen and Primordial very interesting and inspirering, but I doubt anyone could pinpoint it in my music.
I just love sad, melancholic music, with or without an edge of anger on it.
What equipment do you use?
Intruments: Guitar, bassguitar, Roland JV-30, Boss DR-550.
FX: Zoom 1010, Zoom 506, TC Electronics M-300, Alesis Microverb III, Alesis 3630 Dual Compressor/Gate/Limiter.
Recording & Mixing: Yamaha MT-8X (8-track-cassette-recorder).
Anything else?
My main occupation is making audio-visual things (short movies, documentaries, experimental things).

Hello again...
I'm as alive as I ever get.
Thanks for letting me know about your new song, really like it! And a nice balance between (excellent) growls and cleaner vocals without losing any power.
I think it was the sound of the guitar that sometimes reminded me of the Mandylion era.
The only drawback is that it only lasts 4 minutes ;-)
hey this is john the drummer from churchburn check out my new project Mental Masochist we are like a mix of melodic death and grind generally sounding like at the gates and/or suffocation
Good stuff, the only bad thing is the quality of the sound.
Very good, cool, tune you heve I like it alot!
keep your head stoned
Thanks for the positive reactions!
About my synth: it's a Roland JV-30 from the early '90's (so you won't need the latest state of the art stuff to get a similair sound).
I never thought of comparing my sound (not the music) to The Gathering, interesting thought..... Though I also like more recent work by them, I think Always is a Classic.
Anyway, I'm working on some new stuff....
