Within the Fallacy – Big hopes of an indie artist

Independent musicians have big hopes, but the internet is full of people trying to make money from them. “Within the Fallacy” is a nu metal song about false promises, questionable promotion services, and the difficulties of getting your music heard in a world, where more music is produced that anybody can listen to.

Indie artists write songs, record them, and eventually release them into the world, hoping that someone will listen. But somewhere you discover that making music is only a small part of the whole process. Welcome to the wilderness! There are countless services, platforms, and people promising to help you reach a bigger audience. Some are useful, while others just grab your money and attention. From questionable promotion offers to dance video scammers promising thousands of streams and overnight success, it’s sometimes difficult to tell what’s worth your time and what’s just another empty promise. That’s what “Within the Fallacy” is about.

Musically, “Within the Fallacy” started with a working title that probably deserves some explanation: Debussy Must Die. The name came from a classical style piano arpeggio in some weird scales that reminded me of Debussy’s music, even though I’m really not fond of classical music. This weird idea turned out much heavier than expected once I added a guitar in drop tuning. Later, Daniel added bass and lead guitar. The title “Within the Fallacy” happened, when Nick added his combination of lyrics, rapping, screaming, and singing.

We hope you can relate to the weird situation most independent musicians find themselves in. If you want to support us, the best thing you can do is add our music to your personal playlists, share it with friends, or use it as background music for your social media posts. We will probably never be big, but we don’t want to sell our dreams to scammers.

As usual, you can listen to our song on all streaming platforms.
