I recently submitted Ego Mortuus Sum to a few playlist curators on SubmitHub. The feedback was consistent: they appreciated the progressive feel, sharp riffs, and strong musicianship, but felt the song didn’t quite fit their audiences.
Some wanted more raw aggression, others preferred less atmospheric transitions.
So while the track was recognized as solid and innovative, it simply wasn’t the right match for those particular playlists. I take it as a reminder that my music speaks most to listeners who enjoy a balance of heaviness and atmosphere—rather than pure extremity.
I feel like I’m on the right track.
