'''death's dynamic shroud''' (a.k.a. death's dynamic shroud.wmv) is the name of a group of three different artists ([[James Webster]], [[Tech Honors]], and [[Keith Rankin]]) that make music using samples from a variety of places, from video games and '80s American pop to anime soundtracks and K-pop. They are best known for their album [[I'll Try Living Like This]], released on [[Dream Catalogue]] in 2015. Most of their music was created in 2014 under the alias ''death's dynamic shroud.wmv'', but after these initial 11 albums, the ".wmv" was removed from their name.
'''death's dynamic shroud''' (alternatively ''death's dynamic shroud.wmv'') is a collaborative project between James Webster (also known as HCMJ), Tech Honors and Keith Rankin (known to create music as Giant Claw and operate Orange Milk Records). death's dynamic shroud typically samples video game soundtracks in a mixtape-style format, oftentimes with special distortions and modifications made as a result of being bounced off analog recordings. In 2015, with the creation of [[I'll Try Living Like This]], Keith Rankin's addition to the group brought a much more high-fidelity, experimental sound (including sampling of anime soundtracks and k-pop) to the music, a shift that has helped the group form their distinct sound and visual aesthetic they personally refer to as "NUWRLD". Around the time of [[Heavy Black Heart]], the group decided to use a variation of the ''death's dynamic shroud'' name without the file extension, now used to denote the newer, less "classical" albums from the previous mixtapes.


== Discography ==
In late 2020, the group launched the "NUWRLD Mixtape Club", a subscription-exclusive series of albums released exclusively to subscribers monthly. While many of the club releases can be described as traditional vaporwave, the group has also used the opportunity to experiment outside of the genre, with releases ranging from synth pop, chiptune, and rock among others.


*[[シェンムーONLINE]] (2014, Album)
Most of the albums released under the moniker are solo projects, with only a few albums being collaborative efforts: [[失われた時REGRET]], [[Live From Japan]], and [[The Masterflan]] with James and Tech; [[신세기 EVANGELIS]] and [[I'll Try Living Like This]] with James and Keith; and [[Heavy Black Heart]], [[Darklife]], and the Darklife EPs featuring all three members.
