I cancelled my subscription before the hike (and saw this shady con they were trying to pull), great that other people who still need those services are getting compensation.

They are such worms, they try to apologise in the moment and pretend they have come to recognition of what they did wrong, but if that doesn’t work they start flying the Cancelled flag

Buddy, you were filling time in between Come As You Are and Enter Sandman, your one job was to not insult half of the population.

My pleasure :)

If you are interested in listening to this plagiarism here is a random YouTube upload: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k-5...

And the original: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAhn...

I generally wouldn't promote engaging with this stuff, but it is just so bizarre to compare the two.

The fact that I can barely find anyone commenting about this is reassuring: an album like this can't make much headway seemingly. But what it offers, and how seductive it might be for people who know what they like and just want that, is definitely worrisome.

Some of these tracks are a little longer than those they copy. The last one is 16 minutes, much longer. The mere ability to extend a track, much less make a slightly different alternative, I'm sure has an appeal to people (as reprehensible as I find that).

How comfortable it is to just have the pieces of a band you like regurgitated back to you? And while this is an obvious copy, some of the tracks are less clearly so than others.

Just listening to it, it's an inferior version of a lot of Fallujah, lacks soul.

But honestly, I was listening to the real Fallujah's newest album and thought "ahhh nice, they are kind of doing mostly their older sound"

But regardless of if it's AI or not, it serves the function that we are told AI will.

This exists in the weird space of null authorship and serves up the idea of a thing in a slightly different way. It is as if we called for it by wondering if a machine could make Fallujah stuff.

This is where the whole thing gets very strange. Why is it related to an NSBM project, who "made" this music and why?

I ultimately have no idea; I cannot find anything about how this thing was disseminated.

And wait, don't the vocals for the track Hiraeth match with the track that was seemingly released by the actual band on the now defunct Bandcamp. So either this was made by the original artist, or was made to using that material for some reason?
