Influences: Nachtmystium, Mayhem, Wolves In The Throne Room, Amon Amarth, Immortal, Emperor
FAWM got me writing songs properly, consistently, regularly, and so I am back here to enjoy February with you all again.
Last year I signed with UKEM Records for the release of my second album, Coffinships. It's doing really well, and (fingers crossed) is going to get some major coverage in the UK metal press in February and March...I wrote all the songs on this album in FAWM and 5090, so really, I could not have done it without your support

Eric the Bee is a favourite, though I sound nothing like John Cleese. "Let The Wookiee Win" has a demo now!
@bradbrubaker Mar 7
Thanks for your comment on my duet "These Damsels Be Fierce!!" I wanted to let you know that he demo has been updated with @lizchids singing the female parts...not that I don't think I make a charming woman, haha. *9695
@leslie Mar 5
*whew* Made it! It has been an honour to be entertained by you for the last 2 hours. Almost like a concert, with weird and wonderful guest stars. And you never lost the beat or forgot the words. Congratulations. 
@leslie Mar 5
22 songs?! Damnit. You've done this on purpose, haven't you. You want me to spend the rest of my day listening to awesome metal songs. FINE. I'll DO it. But just for you.
@jadesongbird Mar 5
Thanks for the kind comments about "Love Bomb"! I can hear what you're saying about the instrumentation; I would love to do that!
@sherrycanary Mar 4
Sapient,
Thank you for taking time to liste to my songs and to make such flatering comments. You are a sweetheart xo
@kristi Mar 4
Thank you for your very kind comments on my lyrics! I appreciate hearing how they resonate with people!
@johnstaples Mar 4
Hey, thanks so much for listening to my songs and for your kind words! You really made my day!!!
@stephenwordsmith Mar 3
Also, thank you for your comments. It seems the sentiments in 'Lucifer's Gauntlet' are very widespread.
I, too, read the title how you read it after I posted it, but had no idea what to change it to.
@stephenwordsmith Mar 3
There is a demo to Taumata etc., if you're interested: http://fawm.org/songs/6805/

@darcistrutt Mar 3
Thanks for visiting my offerings. I am feeling some better, but gosh darn it...this cold didn't want to leave! I know I need to make some visits myself. I recognize a few names in your collabs too!
@musicsongwriter Mar 3
Hi Peter. thank you very much for your amazing comments and suggestions
I've edited my posting here as I haven't heard from you.
Wishing you a very happy Sunday.
Let's collaborate during 50/90 if you get a chance
@alboe Mar 3
Hi, the sound on "Blue Planet" is from a freeware VSTI called Micromoon from Elektrostudio (Robert Krzywicki), preset is called mod synth.
@alboe Mar 2
And also a thank you very much for your very positive comment on "The Owls". And congrats on your win and good luck in these exciting times, hope you get some great coverage.
@alboe Mar 2
Hi, thanks for listening to "Let's get underway" ,not only was it the first time posting, but in fact the first time really singing a song so it was pretty scary. I have been playing bass all my life wich is kinda safe so this was a big step but I'm glad I took it, during the last few weeks I started feeling a little more confident about my singing so maybe there will come a time that I will actually enjoy it. Positive reactions like yours help a lot so thanks again.
@chriddof Feb 28
Thanks for your latest comments. I'm glad someone else agrees with me over the Anglia TV ident, I made a audio comedy sketch about it once on Youtube and everyone was going "It wasn't scary!" I didn't see it a huge deal as i was in the Thames / LWT region, but whenever i did i couldn't bear it. I was also scared of the young Carol Hersee (the BBC testcard girl), I thought that half-smile was kind of sinister...
@gordon Feb 28
I think 140 is a bit too many. But I hope one or two more might pop out before close of play. Looking forward to something loud tonight.
@shannonwinnonah Feb 25
Your kind word fill my heart with joy and enjoy. I dream of coming to US and meeting famius fawm star Steffan in the New Orleans. You give my hope. Who is this butthead beavis? Is he related to Justin Beavis, the Canadian songstress?
@ansgar Feb 24
Hey, Sapient! Where can I buy your CDs? Can I order it directly from you? Is the second one already released?
@toms Feb 23
Your headphone mixes have always been miraculous, and I am stunned to hear that that is how you mix, actually. Thank you for the kind comment!
@faceofeinstein Feb 22
hey man, appreciate you stopping by and bring so complimentary! nothing better then musicians/artists you respect complimenting your work. no idea you had so many songs this year, I've only listened to two so far so I have my work cut out for me. congrats on the win and cheers sir.
@tfish77 Feb 22
I simply love your fascinating interpretations of my 2 instrumental tracks. Rock on!
@kristian Feb 22
congratulations on the win! And nowwwwww.... let the comment frenzy commence!
@jennsings Feb 21
Ha! Yeah, when I realized that you were following me, I knew you'd be able to easily flip that one. Thanks!
@wobbiewobbit Feb 20
thanks sap off to listen to some of your new stuff... and oh yeah well done - 14! no slacking off now,,, we is in a band!
@gordon Feb 20
You are a winner! Congrats. I took my eye off the ball there and didn't notice you had finished until just now. Good work,
@mojo Feb 20
Meow mrrrmrrr aew eeh *purrrrrrrr*
[Mojo thanks you for your comments]
@alamous Feb 20
suomapyr(at)gmail(dot)com is a good address for the tabs.
@cyrion Feb 20
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I record everything with the iphone version of garageband, really basic but at least I can record multiple tracks. The build in microphone on the iphone is also pretty nice! And of course, I don't wanna miss that party!
Cheers!
@alamous Feb 20
hey, if you have any of that tabbed out that would be much appreciated. I think I might try and loan some chord voicings and such from your song since I think I'm going to try and make my song sound like a sett-indie-pop band would be playing black-metal sons ore something
@miltz Feb 20
Thanks for the comment on Get in the Car. I don't know that Tori Amos cover, but I'll check it out tonight.
@theresaj Feb 19
Thank you very much for your kind words! I was able to listen to a couple of yours and you are a great writer. I'll try to get back for more
@esthomas Feb 19
thank you for your lovely comment! i'd done a search for songs about buses and was disappointed to not find anything so i'm glad to have found a fellow yellow bus appreciator!
@tinkerbell Feb 19
Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Sapient, and having a look at She's Never Seen Star Wars. I'll keep you posted.
@chriddof Feb 18
Thanks, but it was just a sample arranged in a tracker going through various effects (wah wah simulation, distortion, etc)!
@caterwauler Feb 18
Ha! Well, I understand your comment as one of the best compliments I've ever received. Many thanks!
@frenchcricket Feb 18
Thanks dude - it's two guitars actually, I'm not that good!
@wobbiewobbit Feb 18
thank you
@michiel Feb 18
Thank you fellow Amsterdammer. I like you songs too; metal is not really my genre, but I like the energy and atmosphere of your songs. I'm planning on making a metal song too this week, just to try something different.
@cliftv Feb 18
Thanks for your comments on "Space Monsters". I'm stretching out quite a bit on this Mood481 project and the response I'm getting so far is very encouraging.
Congrats and good luck on the success of Coffinships! Exciting stuff
@avidfanman Feb 17
Hey Sapient, glad you liked "Light The Fuse", man-flu is being held at bay (for now...)
@jamesstaubes Feb 17
Thanks for your feedback. Coming from a musician/songwriter as good as you that means a lot!
@pflaster Feb 17
Fine you like it. try To write the lyrics ,its ab out loosing your hero when you still young or crashing into life to fast in the case of your parents become divorced
@dragondreams Feb 17
It was completely accidental, Lord Sapient.
@tinam Feb 15
thanks for the great comments on our songs sapient...as for my guitar sound i use a digitech amp modeler (GNX4) which is triffic & now ive learnt how to make my own sounds with it itsa godsend...for solos i plug it in my amp & i only do that becos playing live miced up & standing up just seems to make me play a beter solo!
@timwint Feb 15
Thanks so much for you kind comments on "Scattered Away". I have a lot of difficulty with confidence when singing and I tend to let my voice drop off badly when I am unsure, so that encouragement helps a bunch.
@mikegtz Feb 15
Hello, hello. Going over to Let's Get Specific now. See you there.
@downburst Feb 13
Ten seconds of corpsiness await you at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5429788/Lyrics%20corpse%20%28downburst%20to%20sapient%29.mp3
I imagine PWT will send you the lyrics pretty quick. Have fun!
@chriddof Feb 13
Thank you for your further comments! And I'm pleased to have won.
@ericdistad Feb 12
Hey Sapient! Thanks for the comments on Missed!
You have tumbled upon my dark little secret - I have done electronica for years... I limit myself to about one a year lest I fall into the dark abyss of synths and drum loops and never return to the light of day.
If you are curious, here's a couple of my old ones:
2012: http://www.distad.net/mp3/FAWM2012/EricDistad_11_AnotherNoise.mp3
2011: (A skirmish - the end result was more Garbage than electronica. {Garbage as in the band, not the substance... though you may disagree. })

@natrin Feb 11
Thanks so much (:

@deafsteever Feb 10
Hey, Sapient! My 4-year old daughter made a little toy display the other day. I turned it into a Slayer CD cover:
http://tinyurl.com/toyensemble
I reckoned you'd get a kick out of it.
@mccannrs Feb 10
Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you liked the song. Yeah, I was trying to use the weather as symbols for the story, I'm happy that it sort of worked.
@episodeaudio Feb 9
Congratulations on discovering the secret plans!
@leslie Feb 9
Yes, Devin's the king of subterfuge. I'll catch up on all your (myriad) songs when I get back!
@radioovermoscow Feb 7
Challenge? I wrote it the day before that challenge was launched
@froley Feb 7
No worries mate, I guess that's how FAWM goes, eh?
@stephenwordsmith Feb 6
You're welcome to it, but only if you want to, of course.
@everettcinaed Feb 6
I have been encouraged to put a bug in your ear - I'm interested in collabing again. Verily. (proof, @leslie It is done!)
@tinam Feb 6
im sorry sapient i hope i didnt embaress you in my thread about wheres the rock music
@devinhill Feb 5
Thanks for your comment on my song Sick Day! It turns out that "burning sensation" in my throat that I described in the song is tonsillitis... I'm just hoping now that the medicine my doctor prescribed me will cure me quick enough to not fall behind this FAWM.
@devin Feb 4
Sire, should read this: http://fawm.org/songs/1530
@colourcodedchaos Feb 4
METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL! *headbangs*
@devin Feb 4
You sir, can "Lovely" on my page anytime you like!
Thanks for your kind words on "Faith"...now, I'm in need of some background music for this spreadsheet filling. 4 songs of Sapient should cover it
@caseewilson Feb 4
Thanks for the comment dude, good to see you back for another year of FAWMtastic fun xxx
@attim Feb 3
Yo Sapient ... wow, you're off to an amazing start! Best wishes for your FAWM.
@grenzgaengerin Feb 3
have fun
@autoclamp Feb 2
I'm laughing maniacally, as I always do when I hear what you've done with our co-creations. I absolutely love it! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, and I'm honored that this is my first song listed for 2013.
@jendistad Feb 2
(= Hi sapient! Currently, I'm awash with "busy work," but I'm looking forward to hearing lots of new music! (= Congrats on the CD! (=

@prsrose Feb 1
If you are up to another drum interpretation like we did last year, I'd be up to it. Perhaps I can make something a little less 'raunchy' this time around. Got me the EVH 5150III for killer shred since last year...
@subjectzero Feb 1
If it's not the voice from hell himself! Let's do this!
@chriddof Feb 1
Good to hear from you again! Thank you for the comment.

Great to have you back, sapient!
Congratulations on the CD! And the label hookup!
BTW - I dare you to write a song this year called Fort Forte (The home of loud)
@nancyrost Jan 31
Hi, Peter!
