After a year or so of music inactivity, here's "The Cloaked Traveler." I have a number of songs written that I will be releasing in the upcoming weeks. 

All parts written, programmed, performed. recorded, mixed and arranged by me.

The Cloaked Traveler

Another one that came together fairly quick. Experimenting more on the mix and panning. Getting there but learn new techniques every time. 

So far the feedback has been really good on this one. Funny because its not really over the top flashy guitar playing! 

All parts writing, arranged, performed, programmed, recorded and mixed by me.

Reduce to Ashes

Experimenting more on the mix and panning. This one is Tuned a whole step down to D. There is very little gain for the guitars. Focus was working with EQ's to drive the overall sound. 

One of my favorite songs so far.

The Necropolis

All parts written, performed, composed, programmed and recorded by me.

Decimation

This one is Tuned a whole step down to D. There is very little gain for the guitars. Focus was working with EQ's to drive the overall sound.

Stalking the Prey

The Dark Pyramid is an Egyptian influenced (Harmonic and Japanese Minors) song. 

All parts were written, performed, recorded, programmed and mix by me.

The Dark Pyramid

New one uploaded in Drop D Tuning. Probably the heaviest track so far. 

I started this one back in March. Then due to a water pipe breaking and flooding my basement, I lost it (iMac was ruined). 

I forgot all about this one until I found a recording the other day of the main riff on my iPhone (bounce I was testing in the car). So I decided to work back on it. Most of this is new, but the intro theme with the minor 9 and jazz chords is the same. ENJOY :)

This one was mixed by James Ford. I highly recommend you check his page - Excellent Stuff! - https://soundcloud.com/jamesfordmusic
