Skytter
Skytter (stylized in lowercase), real name Pete Baal, is a rapper from Årania, born in 1Ð. The name «Skytter» is translated to «Shooter», which is a word game in Åranian, as the word has the same roots as the equivalent «shit», pointing out his openness to comedy.
He is known for experimenting with artificial and synthetic sounds, which together with his rhyming and mumbling delivery form the music subgenre he reffers to as "Rage". Skytter has released three studio albums as well as owning a label, headquartered in Åranvik. He sings in English and Åranian and rarely, Anglish.
Discography
Oi skytte
Oi skytte is Skytter’s debut album released in 20Ð. The name is a reference to his artist name and the stereotypic Åranian saying "Oi skytte", having the same meaning as "Damn it" in English.
The sound of the album is portrayed as being adlibs-driven and valuing them over lyrical density. The album talks about many topics from Skytter's personal life, such as romance, intoxication and others. Therefore, he invited his close friends for help with the album, ranging from simple adlibs to full covers. Allthough the album is made by Skytter who is considered to be a pioneer of "Rage", the album is not considered as such. The album had not made Skytter famous, but made him recognisable in the music industry, allthough he had no famous releases at the time of the release of the album.
After Skytter gained massive popularity after his release of "A whole lotta Orange" in 23Ð, the album recieved attention and was called out as being very basic in comparison to "A whole lotta Orange", which is a rage album.
A whole lotta Orange
"A whole lotta Orange" or abbreviated to "WLO", is the second studio album released by Skytter in 23Ð. The album is an experimental album, with synthetic sounds, electronic elements such as strong basses and sparse "mumbling" lyrics supported by adlibs. It gained massive attention for its unique sounds a few weeks after its initial release, mostly due to famous rapper TRULAUS mentioning the album after being asked what his least favourite album is.
Its initial critique was very negative, pointing out the unthoughtful lyrics and "bad" experimental melodies. In response to the critique, Skytter said that the album turned out the way he wanted and that "society is not ready for A whole lotta Orange yet" and that the society has to "grow onto it".
Over time, the critique was becoming quieter and the music industry adapted to the album, as the album sparked the beginning of the "rage" music genre. The album was awarded the prize "Best album of 23Ð" and also supported loudly by his audience, which had now grown which in return allowed Skytter to become the biggest Åranian musician in modern times.
Viol Tape
Viol Tape, also «Violet Tape» and English «Purple Tape» is the third and latest studio album released by Skytter, in 25Ð. The album is considered the most experimental Skytter album to date, combining rage with elements of rock and hyperpop. It features guest appearances from artists like <insert name here> and <insert name here>.
The name Viol Tape is a reference to the national colour of Høvemark, ㅤLanborg Violetㅤ. Skytter used the name because he wanted to point out the irony behind his haters' unthoughtful arguments against him which turned out to be mostly Høvemarkians, just as his rival, TRULAUS. Skytter shortened "Violet" to "Viol" to rhyme with "Tape" to allow for chants. According to him, Viol Tape is a concert album.
