Originally entered in the Dwelling Of Duels competition for January 2013 ("Brevity Month" where all entries had to be less than a minute long), then rerecorded and remixed.  And then uploaded to soundcloud.  Hooray!

Forest Maze Chainsaw Solution

I bought an HM-2, so the only reasonable thing to do was to write an oldschool Swedish Death Metal song as soon as I got it home.

Satan In The Sunlight

I originally wrote this as an NES chiptune under my chiptune artist name "captain tortilla" and it appeared on the 2009 album "ninjanomics" which can be downloaded at https://captaintortilla.bandcamp.com/

I decided to take a crack at playing it on guitar because it seemed one of the most playable.  The end part was a real challenge.

Into Progress (arranged version)

I've perpetually had this song in my head for about 8 years and finally decided to just toss a version together. Apologies for any misnotes or liberties taken.

Eyepatch Romance (Electro Quarterstaff Cover)

Song chosen, learned, arranged and recorded in 4 hours. Surprisingly difficult to play.

Banjo Kazooie (Intro)

Totally forgot I recorded this sometime around July 2013, in tribute to the late, great Jeff Hanneman. RIP.

Apparently I added some blastbeats to the song.

Spirit In Black (Slayer Cover)

Dennis Mott - Drumception

Soundgarden was always one of my favourite bands growing up, and Chris Cornell is one of the best singers of all time. I'm no Chris Cornell but I wanted to do a version of the song, inspired by the solo acoustic version he would often do.

A metal arrangement of "Battle Sorceress Noiram" from "Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones" Originally recorded for the Dwelling of duels Tornado of Solos in 2005.  Later rerecorded/remixed at some point in 2006(?) then never touched again.  Then uploaded to soundcloud in 2013!

Trivia: I was listening to a lot of Suffocation's "Pierced From Within" when I mixed this, which is why it sounds like there's a piece of bread over the speakers.

Kick the Stone

A metal arrangement of the First Level themes from Metal Gear, Castlevania 3, Contra and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game, all originally by Konami Kukeiha Club.

Armed Combat

Guitar wankery, downpicking, strong melodies, huge harmonies.
