I just moved to a new account, which you can find here. Shortly, I will have been on deviantArt for 10 years. TEN YEARS! On the internet, that makes this account an archeological dig site. Holy crap on toast with bacon! Damn, almost anything sounds good with bacon.

It's rough being in an unknown, unsigned band like The Dark Aeons. We recorded our album "Digress & Discension" completely ourselves without a big studio or a big company behind us. At the moment, the only means of promotion is the Internet but we can't do it all ourselves! This is where you come in - here are a list of things you can do to help us out:

- If you like our music, please buy a copy. You can purchase it here: ampcast.com/music/26630/artist…

- Tell people about us. If you're not talking about our music, no one will hear it! Tell people about us in music forums, IRC and everywhere. Point them to our websites:
     Official watchitman.com/thedarkaeons
     Ampcast: www.ampcast.com/thedarkaeons
     DMusic: thedarkaeons.ampcast.com

- Write a review and submit it to a site like Metal-March www.metal-march.com/ or Grave Concerns www.angelfire.com/ny2/gravecon… . There are tons of other sites and e-zines out there so please, spread the word around.

We ARE NOT part of the massive entertainment machine, spoon-feeding the public shitty music. We don't have millions of dollars (or even hundreds) to promote our tunes - word of mouth is the best we can hope for. Help us out and give the big music industry the finger.

Thanks!

Quote: "Kitsch is the opposite of the public space, of the public conversation, of the demand for objectivity and functionality. Kitsch is the intimate space, our selves, our love and our congeniality, our yearnings and our hopes, and our tears, joys and passion. Kitsch comes from the creative person's private space, and speaks to other private spaces. Kitsch deals therefore with giving intimacy dignity" - Odd Nerdrum, ArtNews, April 2000.

Yep, I've been here 3 years.

I uploaded a 3d piece I did for a contest a while back. I spent months on it and didn't even get an honorable mention: www.deviantart.com/view/667433…

I just uploaded the design for my band's (The Dark Aeons) new album. Check it out here.
