"Towards The Sun"

Here is a rough collaboration I did with another artist on Siege Of Amida Records from USA. We worked on this track without ever meeting and shared our ideas over Skype! Pretty cool eh?!

I wrote the lyrics and came up with the vocal lines, I like this clip as it shows a few different aspects of my metal "range".

"V. Earth"

This is a short experimental piece I wrote on 12 string guitar. I thought about using my voice as more of an instrument rather than for lyrics. It ended up becoming the mid section to a full song later on...

Recorded in my room, SM58 and Cubase.

Chris Sykes
