I feel tiny and insignificant now. Also, why doesn't the movie come out here until several months from now?

If you love this, NIN will make you cry with awesome. Also check out Marilyn Manson to a lesser extent.
I disagree.

I mean, I agree on NIN, it is awesome and since this song sounds reminiscent of Trent's music, then yeah NIN will make people who liked it cry from awesomeness.

I disagree about the Marilyn Manson thing. It was somewhat influenced by NIN when Trent was actually there, in the studio. But lately, Marilyn Manson's music is... Not good at all. The earlier albums, up to and including The Last Tour On Earth, sure. Brilliant. The following ones were getting worse and worse.
It's just my opinion, tho.

If Gav is doing movies now, I'd love to see him do one about Tommy Wiseau's The Room, that would be a barrel of laughs.

I would tend to agree with you there. Antichrist Superstar was fantastic as it has huge input from Trent. It'll always be one of my favourite albums. I liked Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood too but then he just seemed to lose his fire a bit after that and his albums became anger by numbers, bored fake rage.

Whooooo, bombastic, symphonic industrial electro! Cool, I like it. I wonder what sort of soup you might whip up if you grab a pinch of this and an ounce of Kalros and chucked that into your creative broth. Mmmmmmm... Megatron? ;-)

What exactly was the gimmick you noticed, I'm curious?
Throughout the video the sound didn't feel natural. I don't know how much time you spend fixing the audio usually, but this time around the whole show seemed to consist of different kind of artificial alterations to what was a very repetitive and simple song. It reminded me of any of a thousand generic teen pop songs that have a single refrain / chorus that is heard ad nauseam. I understand that there's nothing particularly wrong with this, but it just seems very lazy to me. It sounded boring. There was nothing here that made me feel like I want to continue listening. That's what I meant with a "cool factor", but I'm not an American, nor do I live in an English speaking country. So, I don't actually know what you think when you hear the words "cool" and "factor" put together.

Well, I like simplicity and I like repetition, especially when they are there to build atmosphere through dynamics, (as in almost every movie soundtrack ever made) so... yeah. If you listen to the Inception music, or the Prometheus soundtrack it is all simple, repeating phrases that build and fall in their dynamics while adding small, 'superficial' changes.

Also, the song completely changes tone, sound, genre and instrumentation halfway through.

Sometimes a song I make isn't meant to be something you actively listen to in order to be fully engaged at all times... sometimes they are there to be slow burners, to suggest an atmosphere, to try and capture a little part of the spirit of the story it was written about in a subtle way :)

Jesus-fucking-Christ; Gavin does it again. You got the opening fantastically done, it certainly creeped me out enough. Intense build up to a more heavy (Industrial?) beat with "Flesh In A Frail Hide...". Very nice indeed. It makes for a fantastic trailer to Prometheus, hell, most of your songs end up being better trailers for what they're about than the official ones. My congratulations again, if you ever even see this post. :p

I just keep coming back to this song, over and over. The only other two that got me so addicted were Commander Shepard and Kajiit Like To Sneak, and they weren't this good.
Ok, the fact that I just saw Prometheus (it came out in my country this Friday) has a lot to do with this. I thought this movie was awesome and I think this song is absolutely perfect for it.
I thought it was perfect before, but only now I can appreciate it in its full extent.
You, sir, are brilliant.

Also, made this [http://asoftereffect.tumblr.com/post/27779992640/yes-yes-i-know-i-just-couldnt-find-a-good-shot]. Tagged it appropriately, of course.

Funny, When I wrote those lyrics I did realize after how fitting they were to certain themes of Mass Effect 3. Nice work you did there.

Glad you're digging this one so much - it was a nice change for me to try something a bit different structure wise.
