First things first, I'm looking for a lead guitarist to Collab with.  This song plus others need some finishing touches.  If you've got the skills and the time to add some wild solo's and some ambience to compliment my song writing get in contact through my email (n33maa@gmail.com)and we can get started.

I wrote this track way back in time when everyone was talking about the end of the world.   In my state of depression the end of the world would have been a relief. 'What are the chances of luck changing side? If we die tonight its a blessing in disguise.'

This is the End Lyrics

A feeling inside of me,
Connected reality.
There's a depth not perceived but,
More than the eye can see.
When I'm alone at night
I suddenly realise,
How little there is to this life.
Just bring me sunrise.

If this really if the end,
Embrace the time we have left.
If this really is the end.
If nothing else is right,
What are the chances of luck changing side?
If we die tonight it's a blessing in disguise.
If this is the end.

A false flag reality,
This life is skin deep.
Seems like we don't exist because,
My life begins when this life is over.
My dreams are taking me,
Through the possibility,
That I don't exist because,
My life begins when this life is over.

If this really is the end,
Embrace the time we have left.
If this really is the end.
If nothing else is right,
What are the chances of luck changing side?
If we die tonight it's a blessing in disguise.
If this is the end.

If this really is the end,
We'll trade our lives to feel the warmth of love once again.
If this really is the end.

If this really is the end.
If nothing else is right,
What are the chances of luck changing side?
If we die tonight it's a blessing in disguise.
If this is the end oh no.

This Is The End

Seeing how today is my first official release with TesseracT, I figured I share one of the two auditions that got me in the band in the first place. I received "Deception" literally the night before I went to track it. Some of the timing might be off, but thats because I basically had to learn it while tracking it, as I was not familiar with the tune. Also, I didn't know whether or not to track the backing harmonies, so I left Dan's in there. I also do not use NEARLY as much vibrato when preforming this now hahaha. Anyways, don't take it too seriously as it was just an audition ^__^

SINISTER FUCK i fucking quit

Invasion - My-sugar

Die The Same - Lyrics 

This order drives me mental.
Losing humanity. 
Don’t sell your soul, manners don’t come for free. (don’t come for free)
We choose a life of misery.
Wake the fuck up, don’t numb yourself, you’re a victim victim of apathy.
  
Enslaved (to our brothers).
A mass denial.
Strive for success, don’t know what it entails.
Progress (to a goal),
On the back of others.
We do not acquiesce to this planned dissonance.

Can you hear me through this hazy dream?
I am your ego, your alter ego, trying to outreach.

Express yourself,
You’ll fall into a personal hell.
It never works following the crowd.
Everyone is here,
Is Here for a reason.
Reflect yours elf.
Do you know there’s more than what you see?
A secret life hidden just beneath. 
Blue pill red pill,
It doesn’t matter what you take
We all die the same.

Disorder is my order.
In chaos I found peace.
On the remnants of civility I found me.
I choose love every time
We live in a fallacy  
Where the fuck are our morals, money over humanity.

Reflection of the times,
The story of our lives.
Trying to find meaning 
In a colourful lie.
We crawl through life trying to define.
We’re laid to rest with our regrets that we didn’t enjoy the ride.

Ignoring the distractions,
I choose love every time.
If I’m trying to find meaning
I’m detracting from the now.
The question of our lives,
Love answers every time.
I’m not looking for meaning, I’m alive, I’m alive.

Express yourself,
You’ll fall into a personal hell.
It never works following the crowd.
Everyone is here,
Is Here for a reason.
Reflect yours elf.
Do you know there’s more than what you see?
A secret life hidden just beneath. 
Blue pill red pill,
It doesn’t matter what you take
We all die the same.

Die The Same

Here's another test with the exact same guitar tone as the previous Racecar test. This is more what the tone was designed to do - big traditional 5150 sounds.

So I got this Two Notes Torpedo Live which is a loadbox and very customizable cab sim/IR unit wrapped into one.  Plugged my Laney Ironheart into it and of course used my Protone Misha Mansoor Signature Overdrive pedal in front and the tone was most pleasing!

Whipped up a quick clip to demo the sounds, hope ya dig!

Guitar is my Jackson Custom Shop 7 (the blue sparkle one) with BKP Aftermaths tuned to Drop Ab.
