Non Album Tracks

These are tracks have no connection to anything in particular and are released for free download. This is an ongoing project and more songs will be added over time.

Fate Freeze Thee was created for the Beat Battle V competition. Full details of the track and the various sounds used within it are available over at this page.

In the style of dark breakcore, Tag, We’re It, makes extensive use of syncopation with numerous percussive instruments of both drum and synth sounds. The rhythm is further offset by the constantly changing phrasing of the vocals, which themselves feature a variety of styles throughout. All music was created by Beatslaughter, while all vocals and lyrics are by Achenar.

Mountain Overseer was originally created for a small Ambient music competition on the Relapse Records message board. It was completed in only 5-6 hours and so is simple, yet nicely powerful. It was later polished up, re-mastered and given a full intro/outro.

Illuminero is a demo song from 2003 that was never fully developed or completed and so did not make it on to the All Will Change album. It features a blues-jazz guitar sound, honky-tonk piano, a more traditional drum set and some ominous electronics.

A short and quirky track, Animal Disturbancy Merit Badge, was created for a competition on the Reeelapse board. 8 small samples were given out and the rules were to use no other sounds, though you could cut up, loop, distort etc. to your hearts content.

Formed 2003 in the Highlands of Scotland with the intent to create music filled with emotion, power and extremity from any angle. Inspiration is taken from a wide variety of influences in many genres. As such, anything that the song demands to fulfil its potential is utilised. Be it acoustic or electronic instruments, samples or field recordings, pure instrumentals or lyrically driven structures; all combined with any number of vocal styles.

Sole member, Duncan Hemingway, composes, records, mixes and masters everything himself and does not perform live, partly due to location and partly due to the nature of the material. Future contributions by others to the music of Achenar and live approximations of the music have not been ruled out entirely, however.
