EXTREMES: NO SAFETY IN NUMBERS PLAYLIST

Following directly on from the previous post comes the post I was going to originally slap up before I acknowledged Extremes: Couples had no accompanying playlist. So without expending too many words we’ll get into this one, the playlist for my latest book release. Which is of course, if you’ve been playing along at home, the most recent instalment in the Extremes collections. This would be Extremes: No Safety in Numbers.

Where Couples revolved around pairs, duos, and twosomes of varying degrees of relationship or interaction, this one delves into universes where groups are forced to go to extremes and face some horrific situations. Normally, when I release a book I’d put up a post announcing it and venturing into the details of said work to some extent which I haven’t yet done with No Safety in Numbers, so this is a little backwards, putting up a recommended playlist before I do that, but shit, why not?

I’ll get around to that post a little later on i figure, but for now, since I just dropped the Couples playlist, may as well just immediately follow it with the No Safety in Numbers, which, like a dumbass, I’d already created before doing one for Couples.

Therefore, there are probably striking similarities in the types of genres included in each playlist, since they were both essentially done back-to-back. Here once again, you will find black and death metal bounced against grimy horrorcore, old school rap, and mixed up with aggrotech and hellektro styled music.

You’ll also find I’ve clustered songs under the stories they belong to, just as I did with the Couples playlist. Feel free to listen to tracks any which way, but rest assurred it’s all mapped out deliberately; certain songs match the themes and events of each story, and given almost all of them bar one are some pretty long pieces, you might even get through each set of songs in time with finishing up reading each piece.

Time to go to Extremes once more. Don’t be afraid; it’s not as though you’re alone. Hell, there aren’t even just the two of you. There are groups, bunches, factions. A lot of people to surround yourself with. After all, you should be fine, right? There is safety in numbers, after all, isn’t there?

Swimming up out of a murky swamp of darkness and depravity comes yet another entry in the world of Extremes, wallowing in the bloody excesses of those emerging prior.
Safety in numbers. A common belief that folks will be safer when they are part of a group, rather than left to fend for themselves alone. Less likely to suffer harm and danger when surrounded by so many others.
The groups here are about to discover it’s all an illusion. A misconception.
They’re going to be cast into situations and driven to Extremes in ways they could never have imagined, and being part of a larger group is ultimately meaningless.
The horrors about to be revealed, perpetrated upon them, and strewn with wanton brutality all around them, care little for any adage, or any notion that a bunch of souls are more likely to withstand the nightmares than any solitary figure.
After all, how will it make any difference when the horrors are going to be unleashed on every single one of them?

These are stories of the gruesome and the grisly, of monstrous souls and monstrous deeds.
As statistically correct as it may seem, everybody here going to Extremes as part of a collective is about to find it just isn’t the case.

There really is No Safety in Numbers.
