Master Toad – “Survival Horror” digital Album Review

First Review for the new Master Toad Album! Many Thanks! 🙂

The Noise Beneath The Snow

Survival Horror – Master Toad

Master Toad; not exactly a name one might think to be typically synonymous with dark ambient music.  But then again, an album capable of serving as a soundtrack to the closing of dusk and a 3-D view of the AM clouds isn’t typical either.  Either way, Survival Horror is just as effective.

Master Toad is the project of dark ambient/drone composer Justin Thomas Squires.  Survival Horror is the fourth full-length album and “serves as an homage to classic survival horror games such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Amnesia among others.”  In addition to four full-length releases, Master Toad has also released three EPs and two split albums.

Right away, I thought of the Cryo-Chamber label.  By now, everyone knows how much I love that label so I could end the review now.  But…… I won’t.

New Short Film “Damp Air”

Some video I shot in last nights fog. Testing out the Super Takumar 50mm 1.4 and the Tamron 28mm 2.5 in low light with the Canon 550d. I used warp stabilizer and it did some whacky effects on some shots, but I left it. Kind of looks cool.

VIDEO DEMO FOR MANTRA

So after getting balls deep into development with MANTRA:The Forbidden Scroll using the TWINE engine, I decided to switch over to Construct 2 so that I can publish the game directly to mobile devices as well as browser. So it’s back to ground zero. I made a video that demonstrates what the game plays like on the TWINE engine. It kind of spoils the first part of episode one, but I wanted to show people just how far you can push this engine that is primarily built for text based games. I have yet to see some one create a multimedia TWINE of this caliber. It bums me out that I wont be using TWINE anymore just becuase I thought this would be a pretty groundbreaking TWINE game, but I have to monetize this project right away, and I can’t do that without getting the first episode on all the mobile markets. So anyway, here is the video.

I hope to have the first episode out by Q1.
