Just Friends

I was playing around with Brit mode and recorded this Ola Englund riff. This is basically gain, treble, mids, bass, and presence dimed, with a clean boost pedal.

The track starts with a single guitar centered and then switches to two guitars panned hard left and right, in the traditional high style ;)

Heaven Inside

THE CELEBRATED MASTERS OF DARK & TWISTED BRITISH EXTREME METAL MAKE A TRIUMPHANT RETURN WITH THEIR SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM

Towering above the vast majority of nefarious contemporary noisemakers, London’s Akercocke erupted across the consciousness of the UK metal scene in the late ‘90s, wielding a fiendishly inventive blend of death, black and progressive metal. Their distinctive, smartly-dressed demeanour and eloquent preoccupation with all things dark and Satanic marked them out both as ferociously individual artists and enlightened students of the pitch-black sonic code. Immediately embraced by the British faithful upon the release of debut album ‘Rape Of The Bastard Nazarene’, Akercocke spent the following decade leading the creative charge for their entire native scene. 

Akercocke received widespread acclaim for follow-up album ‘The Goat of Mendes’ (Peaceville, 2001) and despite enjoying furious momentum over the following years, the release of fifth album ‘Antichrist’ in 2007 signalled the end of the first chapter of the Akercocke story, when the band retreated into the shadows and remained dormant for the best part of a decade.
Fast forward to 2017 and Akercocke’s ongoing return to active service has reached its first invigorating climax. 2016 saw frontman and vocalist Jason Mendonca reconvening with drummer David Gray and returning original second guitarist Paul Scanlan to reignite the flames that first drove this band to deftly redefine an entire genre. This was deftly followed by a triumphant live return at Bloodstock festival in August 2016. 

Collectively buoyed by a renewed sense of purpose, the band reunited with former home Peaceville Records, to unleash their sixth full-length release. Mixed by legendary studio guru Neil Kernon [Nile/Deicide/Thin Lizzy/Yes] & mastered in NYC by Alan Douches [Death, Misfits, CroMags] at West West Side Music., ‘Renaissance In Extremis’ is nothing short of a new dawn for these most eccentric of extremists.

A comprehensive reinvention and expansion of the band’s multifarious sound, ‘Renaissance In Extremis’ delivers euphoric force and mind-boggling weirdness. There are scything thrash and death metal riffs in abundance, plus warped but elegant melodies and clouds of ugly dissonance; moments of unsettling calm and quiet. ‘Renaissance In Extremis’ is a bold, bullish and belligerent statement of creative intent: metal’s dark spirit reborn in an explosion of bright ideas and inspirational fury.

“The magnificent rebirth of the one of the greatest British metal bands of all time, Renaissance In Extremis is verve, vitality and viciousness incarnate” - Dom Lawson – Metal Hammer UK

Akercocke - Disappear (from Renaissance in Extremis)

No Strings

Started off trying to write something completeley cold and desolate, inspired by Icelandic bands such as Zhrine, then I added clean guitars with a sample from the 1993 film 'Naked' and it turned into something Shining might've written. Go figure

This is our version on the Script hit. Its quite different to the original which I feel plods along a little. Featuring Colin Kendrick on Lead vocals and Ian Guest on guitars and additional vocals. Enjoy!
