Doomsday. The apocalypse. End times. Judgment Day.
Every culture has its own eschatology; its own vision of the end of the world. Doomsday is a compilation project to assemble tracks themed around this cataclysmic concept – noise, dark ambient, abstract sounds that reflect upon, relish in, admonish against or in some way celebrate your vision of eschatology. When the day of reckoning is upon us, let it not be said that we were ill-prepared to provide its soundtrack.
Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2011. For more information about submission guidelines, use the Contact link in the menu to the right.
I can possibly participate in this. Sorry I haven’t been in touch for a while, I’ve had some negative shit going on.
No worries. I know how it goes. I’ve been down-and-out, and incommunicado, for a while myself.
Shoot me an email when you have the time. We can always work in a NOD track, if you want to contribute but don’t have the time for a fully realized piece.
I wish I could contribute something, given my expertise on the subject matter.
With so many references to choose from, I do favor 1 Thessolonians 5:1-3 for its unambiguous wording regarding our expectation of “when” the day will occur, and “what” the proclamation and mental outlook will come from the powers that be.

What’s the word on those of us who get drunk during the day?
And, I was wondering if you were going to chime in on this topic…
Concerning drunkards, it would seem appropriate to reference 1 Cor 6:9,10.

I was debating whether or not to chime. I like how you threw in those links. I really want to submit something, but at present I do not know of a way to capture the sound of one hundred million horses galloping on thunder-filled clouds. Then one has to translate into audible tones the sound of Babylon the Great being destroyed. An agitated sea. Fire.
I can hear it in my head, and I can visualize some creative instrumentation. So who knows what may transpire. Is lo-fi acceptable?
The noisier and less melodic, the better. Find a sample of a hundred horses galloping and layer it a million times, then mix in some thunder claps, buildings collapsing, fires and crashing waves. You’ll be set. An homage to the end times. Noise to my ears…
