Hello! I was wondering if you had downloads or just any way to listen to music from +8, Blue Sky Resemble Sorrow, or Debase And Degrade. Thank you!

Ryan H Lewis's avatar

Howdy! Yeah, here are some links:

This is Blue Sky Resemble Sorrow’s split with Nitro Mega Prayer: https://youtu.be/ALzLHJyTx1A?si=xRrLK1b7faGyeShb

Here’s the only recording I know of from Debase and Degrade: https://sanitizedjapan.blogspot.com/2012/08/debase-and-degrade-to-err-is-human-2003.html?m=0

+8 would be trickier. The only release of their’s that I have is the “Electrical Diskahoric Soundtrack” compilation CD. But I don’t have a rip right now. I’ve got a little more info on them, that may help you track something down: https://research.nikucube.com/band-details?recordId=rec26wqx5UFNdP9LY

Thanks a ton! These screamo guides are awesome and helpful. I was also wondering if you had any pictures of you playing with Gauge Means Nothing

Ryan H Lewis's avatar

Thank you, I'm glad they're helpful! I don't have any with me right now, but this discogs pic has me in the background with the pink bandana :-P https://www.discogs.com/artist/1886076-Gauge-Means-Nothing/image/SW1hZ2U6OTg5NjM5NTI= There's also a few videos on my channel when I played with them: https://youtu.be/_XH6Rmxm6tI

I really should upload some more, though! I have quite a few, I just need to collect them and scan them in.

Charles's avatar

Awesome dude.. you're so lucky to have been able to play with them! :)

Oh man, I know. It was a dream!

hi, would you be able to identify the lost title and release name for this Killi, possibly KiLLi (Yokohama), track:

that the youtube channel Khabron-bedyimliz has uploaded?

Ryan H Lewis's avatar

Omg, I love a search! Yep, this is “City Of God” from Killi’s split with Wet The Bed released in 2005. I really love them too, wish it was easier to find the other two releases they were on.

thank you so much, appreciate the quick response! very cool that you have a research website, btw

Ryan H Lewis's avatar

Aw, thank you! It’s a front end to this big Airtable database that I use for research. It feels nicer to make it available to others as well, instead of just keeping it to myself. 😁

arisolt's avatar

yeah!! i’m very glad i can use it too. not too familiar with database solutions, what do you like about airtable? have you used others before, how do they stack up?

Ryan H Lewis's avatar

Yeah, Airtable is just really easy. It’s cloud based, so I can access it on different devices. I can also upload images. Hopefully they don’t get bad, cause exporting all the data will be a big undertaking, haha…

Do you know where to find gauge means nothing’s first demo? It has 3 songs, is self titled, but was released under the bands original name “stand alone,” and came out around September 2000. Seems to be lost media.

The track list is

Release myself from the past

Never defeat, no defeat

Here’s proof it exists:

Listed in gauge means nothing official website

Hey Julian! Yep, it’s been uploaded to YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FcCHtopMsR4?si=nnkwW0nHhraBMtbn

As for finding it in person, good luck 😀

Thank you!!!

would you also happen to know the release title that Monolith - Decision is on? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8DtJsSNVDo

Ryan H Lewis's avatar

Wow, I didn't know much, but I did some digging and found some info. Updated here: https://research.nikucube.com/band-details?recordId=recRxTDD3EjeeSsL0

The track is from a CD released in 2012 called "region". I wasn't able to find any copies of the release anywhere, unfortunately. I'll keep an eye out for it!
