| zeppelin on fire by VertigoSteps | 15 days ago |
| thx so much, people! and TheUnheard, you're so very right. Specially in a simpler song-structure context, it's hard to come across with the "perfect" flow, without messing too much with the feel, but keeping the rollerocaster dynamics within  the single/EP and album will be out soon... |

| zeppelin on fire by VertigoSteps | 19 days ago |
| btw, added lyrics so you guys can follow them! | |
| zeppelin on fire by VertigoSteps | 19 days ago |
| hey - and thx for the feed. we obviously avoid all kinds of auto-tuning, as we think it would ruin a sound such as ours and **** up the emotion of the delivery. there are of course vocal effects you can use creatively/aesthetically and we did so on the verses of this song (delay, bit of eq). anyway there are plenty of "clean" parts throughout the album where you get to hear less processed vocals, being that you didn't appreciate it. but it's definetely not meant for masking! cheers |

| first of all, thx for the words! just a quick note to address the enunciation aspect. what matters first of all is the music and the feeling conveyed. the lyrics are obviously very important to us - hence its sharing - but this is not spoken word and even in movies and plays some parts are harder to fathom. the lyrics are written and sung by non-natives, though both of us have I believe a solid understanding of the language we chose as main vehicle of expression. so i guess at the end of the day, the feel you get from the music is much more important than one of two words that you had a harder time picking up. we actually understand them, but in case you don't, there's always the written lyrics to recur to. and we're glad some people still take interest to this, since we're not the mambo-jambo-lyrical type best wishes all! |

| the porcupine dilemma by VertigoSteps | 1 month ago |
| thx man! it's actually funny you mentioned Thrice, cause the 1st we ever heard of that band was here on iComp, when someone also compared our 1st single (from our debut...) to said band. Then I looked it up and found to be quite interesting. dunno if so far as any direct influence, but still "the alchemy index" is something I hold in good esteem. cheers all n'a good 2012! |

| thnnx, bec! and so are we, from the pre-mixes we've been handling... Niko's flyin' over Friday to lay down his vocals, which means one step closer to the end. i'm thinking there'll be surface and light by mid-December |

|
| Nothing At All (demo edit) by VertigoSteps | 4 months ago |
| thank ye, J! totally agree with you, but in this case it is our regular guest Stein R Sordal (Green Carnation, Soxpan, Sordal, etc) singing. about the production I thank you as well, but it's still only "home-made" pre-production, since we're only entering studio next Thursday for the real deal. But you can try finding Niko whilst in Hela, sure he won't say no to a finn beer or a koskenkorva sip. cheers |

| Sweet, Sweet Rain (Gene Loves Jezebel cover) by VertigoSteps | 2 years ago |
| Thx a bunch, guys! Twas actually fun (not mentioning fast) to do this and I think its beginning to sound nice even at this early stage. WC: I can understand the Cult liaison - not unlike GLJ they did a nice mix of both Rock and Gothic. |

| I of the Storm by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Congrats, you were the official first buyer! Hope it was worth it. |

| I of the Storm by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| herrsolera, agesisbell & the rest: about that "purchase album now" link you spoke of above... try this one: http://www.icompositions.com/artists/VertigoSteps/album.php?aid=209 |
|
| I of the Storm by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| True thanx for all your words, mates. Solera & Eido in particular, it's rewarding to read such detailed and bright insight on the music one carves from deep inside. As for the "purchase button" you mentioned, I'm working on it at the moment, so expect news soon! Meanwhile, the official website is now online: www.vertigosteps.com , so do spook around and leave your thoughts. Yours, Vertigo B |

| nice work, Dan & co. Lots of soul, you know and a very particular, tangible rawness that's enjoyable. Bruno A. VS |

|
| The Bleeding Gun by scarforlife | 3 years ago |
 My absolute fave, along with "Innocence is Bliss". Of course I've followed your work closely, we've also played together for so ****in' goddamn years and I knew this would rule from scratch! Keep it up, your fellow Bruno A VS |
|
| The Reckoning by juzcook | 3 years ago |
| Nice groove and energy, no doubt. Now bring on those vocals. Cheers B. |
|
| Don't Wake Me by ouzo77 | 3 years ago |
Nice and solid rock song you've got here, ouzo. Excellent production indeed; also love the bass-line, vocal melody, background textures and guitar harmonics. Reminds a bit of the A Perfect Circle feel, which is a fine thing of course. keep it up, welcome! Bruno A. |

| Serpent's Irony by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Full lyrics posted! | |
| Fire Eaters by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Thanx for the preoccupation, but the album is terminated and there's no real need for any remix: its fully intentional, balanced and everyone else can listen to everything very clearly and in full power and feel. Additionally, the "voices-drowning-everything" concept is really more suited to Pop music anyway... B |
|
| Fire Eaters by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Now available for free download! Lyrics uploaded, as well. Enjoy. |
|
| The Swarming Process by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Cheers all. Now addressing some of the questions raised: Solera: full lyrics now shared online at iComp. Sounds better on stereo, too The leads were largely improvised, yet I firmly believe that in order for a solo to be special, it has to hit the right notes, emotionally related to the music and not fast-fret yanking, so it's nice that you have noticed this! Eido: thx for your views. The chorus dissonance was fully intentional, in my view it's definitely an integral layer for the desired environment. B. |

| Synapse (sleepwalking metaphorms) by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Well, thanx a lot for your words of praise and support, mates. B |
|
| Fire Eaters by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Once again, thank y'all. The album is now complete so news for you guys soon... Meanwhile, check VS' iComp blog for full tracklist and recording info. B |

| Machinemade Man by herrsolera | 3 years ago |
| Quite nice, man! | |
| Album Teaser II by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Thx again for your feedback mates! solera: got it right, Green Carnation is probably the first band mentioned here that I could see as an influence and one which I enjoy thoroughly! And regarding that song - "Synapse (sleepwalking metaphorms)", the association could well come from the guy singing it: Stein R Sordal, bass-player/ co-singer of the late Green Carnation. About "I of the Storm", the other track you mentioned, it's partially sung in Portuguese, my native language. Singer is Rui Viegas, who participates in 3 album tracks and was already the singer in Arcane Wisdom (an earlier act). saluts! |
|
| Album Teaser II by VertigoSteps | 3 years ago |
| Well, still depends on the proposals. But I'm glad to say the album is now finished and you can expect quite a few surprises... I'll try to share some stuff here. Thx again! |
