DE TOT COR

 (Text in English after the image)

L'estiu passat vaig veure que tenia unes quinze demos i que d'allà podia sortir un disc. Així, per què no?
La primera idea va ser contactar a tots els vocalistes que havien col·laborat anteriorment als discos de De Tot Cor i així acabar les cançons. Els últims tres o quatre mesos han estat de mesclar i masteritzar l'àlbum.
Vull donar les gràcies als que han acabat cantant al disc, als que no van poder, als nous artistes, i als que no van contestar també. Després de tants anys, potser els emails o les xarxes socials moren.
El resultat final és Bless Your Demons, un disc centrat en la idea de viure positivament amb els dimonis interiors i sentir-se lliure.
Potser dotze cançons actualment son moltes i arribar quasi a una hora de música és excessiu... Ha estat un treball dur acabar de mesclar el disc i donar un so global a totes les pistes. Eren demos bastant diferents.
Al final, trobareu un disc sense gaires singles, amb moltes intros, cants eclesiàstics, bateries electròniques, ambientació lenta, sintetitzadors, i veus que parlen de dimonis. Una mescla dels antics "Gothic light" i "Nordfosc", un àlbum lent, emocional i fosc.
No buscaré el benefici econòmic, només amb la feina que hi ha hagut darrera ja estic satisfet. Actualment pots fer cançons en 30 segons amb IA. En aquest disc hi ha més d'un any d'hores de dedicació.
Amb el pressupost que tinc, i tenint clar que De Tot Cor és un projecte musical que viu durant el temps lliure, és un disc fet amb plugins virtuals, mesclat i masteritzat a casa. He provat fer els màsters sense exportar abans el mix. Això ha significat alguns problemes tecnològics, però sembla que al final el PC se n'ha sortit. Beneeix la tecnologia.
En el futur, potser m'ajudaré de la IA per fer cançons noves. De fet, l'artwork del disc està fet amb ajuda de IA. Segurament al pròxim treball de De Tot Cor (si n'hi ha) les col·laboracions vocals s'hauran acabat. Els que seguiu el projecte, sabeu que cada nou àlbum és diferent. Esperem que no torni a trigar quatre anys en veure la llum. Fins aleshores, venereu els vostres dimonis.

Last summer I saw that I had about fifteen demos and that I could make a record out of them. So why not?
The first idea was to contact all the vocalists who had previously collaborated on De Tot Cor records and thus finish the songs. The last three or four months have been mixing and mastering the album.
I want to thank those who ended up singing on the record, those who couldn't, the new artists, and those who didn't answer as well. After so many years, maybe emails or social networks die.
The final result is Bless Your Demons, an album focused on the idea of ​​living positively with inner demons and feeling free.
Maybe twelve songs are currently too many nowadays and almost an hour of music is excessive... It's been hard work to finish mixing the album and give a global sound to all the tracks. There were quite different demos.
In the end, you will find an album without many singles, with lots of intros, church chants, electronic drums, slow atmospheres, synthesizers, and voices that speak of demons. A mixture of the old titles "Gothic light" and "Nordfosc", a slow, emotional and dark album.
I will not aim for money, only with the work that has been done in these past months I am already satisfied. Nowadays you can make songs in 30 seconds with AI. Here there is more than a year's worth of dedication.
With the budget I have, and being clear that De Tot Cor is a musical project that lives during free time, it is a record made with virtual plugins, mixed and mastered at home. I've tried making the masters without exporting the mix first. This has meant some tech issues, but it looks like the PC has pulled through in the end. Bless your technology.
In the future, I might get help from the AI ​​to make new songs. In fact, the album artwork is done with the help of AI. Surely on De Tot Cor's next work (if there is one) the vocal collaborations will be over. Those of you who follow the project know that each new album is different. Let's hope it doesn't take another four years to see the light of day. Until then, bless your demons.

At the end of year 2016 I decided to stop this music project. April 2020 is time for resurrection.
I had some unfinished demos from summer 2019 in my computer. During March and April 2020 I had the time to finish them and create a new DE TOT COR album. It is nordfosc.
Due to global confinement, this album is mixed and mastered at home. Headphones and small equipment, but it is fine at this moment in time. Probably 50% will listen to it online through streaming music platforms. There will be a limited cassette edition too. Check Bandcamp or No Me'n Records label.
nordfosc means dark north in Catalan language. There are some words in Catalan and some others in English in the album. The music is somehow different from all the previous DTC albums. Nothing more, nothing less. Now there is another blank page in the computer. Maybe there will be another album finish by the end of 2020. Hope all of you reading this words are doing great.

The new record DAMAGE DOOM DEATH is released today.
You can download it for free at Bandcamp and listen to it online at Spotify.
If you donate some money at Bandcamp when downloading the album, you will receive a free 4-track EP (using paypal email or send a mail to detotcorgothiclight[at]gmail.com) with dark ambient songs.
Support the music, fuck the mainstream!

Album finished. "Damage Doom Death" is mixed and mastered and it will be out in October. It has been four years of silence, but here music comes again.
The album is not made of club-hits. There are no guest-vocalists, just dark electronic music. The track order will try to make you listen to the album as a whole. However there is no concept or anything behind this. It's just dark-electro music that (hopefully) make you feel something or just spend 46 minutes well.
To create and write "Damage Doom Death" I used classic-DeTotCor virtual-synthesizers, some guitar-pedals, vocal-samples, and various audio-files. There is some distortion, but ambient minutes too.
"Damage Doom Death" will be released only digital (Bandcamp and Spotify) for free. You can download the 11 songs as .WAV (or similar) or just listen to it online. As you may know, in Bandcamp there is the possibility to donate some money. If you do so (doesn't matter how much you donate), you will receive a 4-track EP with dark-ambient songs. This ambient EP will be called "Damn Dusk Despair" (sorry for too many D's) and it won't be released anywhere.

The new record (probably the last DE TOT COR album) is going to be called "DAMAGE DOOM DEATH" and it will be out around October/November. It will be all home-made. No sound-engineers, no designers, no crowfunding, no payed-promotion, no pre-orders, no shit, no guest-singers, no remixers, no singles, no coloured-vinyls, no money... Just music.
The album will be released only digital through Spotify and Bandcamp (free download at .WAV quality). If there is enough demand to press some physical copies, then there will be.
In the record you will find a mix between industrial, EBM, trance, guitars, ambient, doom... dark-electro! Last months I've been uploading some work in progress in my soundcloud account.
There have been four years of silence since the release of the last EP "Fearless". This will be the best De Tot Cor album ever. Grand finale and big distortion, it's a party. And this is the record cover:

Lately I've been working with a singer and we've decided to start a new music project. Then it's time to stop DE_TOT_COR for a while. The idea is to be back some time with the original idea of this project, instrumental industrial electronic music. If you are interested in the new project, i'll post some news when they're ready.

Have a nice summer.

It seems we are still alive, so here you have the announced free compilation. "In case you have deleted all the previous songs", now you can have some for free. A digital release including the best unknown classics and remixes, rare tracks and some reworks.


After releasing two EPs and a full-length album, DE_TOT_COR offers this compilation of songs for free. You can find here the best unknown classics and remixes, rare tracks and some reworks. We live days too fast and we write less than 140 characters to explain it. Albums are downloaded for free and deleted one hour later. Here’s then your second chance. Maybe once you heard these songs, maybe you didn’t realize. You can obviously delete them again. This time is forever. It’s time to re-think the project. I spent too much time and money. I am thankful to those who had been (and are!) interested in my music. Nevertheless I doubt there’s a point in making albums nowadays. It’s too expensive and hard to sell. Recording, mastering, manufacturing, promotion, etc, etc. Underground doesn’t understand about money. This is not an end. DE_TOT_COR will return with more songs and hopefully as a live project. However there will be some rest. Have fun, take care and press download. [Type 0 to download or donate some money if you can]
DE_TOT_COR - In case you have deleted all the previous songs

It's about three months since we released the EP "Fearless". We needed to sell about 50 digital copies to cover the costs of pressing some CDs. It seems that real CDs are history nowadays, and not much interesting to music lovers. "Fearless" EP will not be released as CD. I would like to thank everyone who downloaded the tracks on Bandcamp or VampireFreaks digital store. And again those who have DE_TOT_COR music in their audio players.
You know some say the world will end on the 21st of December. In case the world doesn't end that day, DE_TOT_COR will release a free compilation of songs. A digital release including the best unknown classics and remixes, rare tracks and some reworks. Stay tuned!

"Fearless" is the new DE_TOT_COR EP, including four new songs, one rework and three remixes. It's industrial alternative music. It's mastered by Stahlblack productions.

All sales of this digital album will cover the costs of manufacturing the CDs. We need to reach 50 album sales. Help us release "Fearless" as physical-CD with extra tracks. Support independent artists, buy music.
