Here's a track I wrote for Hord new album "The Book of Eliot" to close the "Unveiling" chapter. This is not a typical "metal" song but it fits very well with the atmospheric and progressive sounding of this musical journey. This track is a development and a conclusion of the previous tracks of the album. 
My brother Christophe Devaux collaborates on the track with noisy/experimental guitar sounds at the end. 

Hord - The Sleepless Journey

Here's another track I wrote for Hord new album "The Book of Eliot" (2013, Sendthewoodmusic/Seasonofmist/PHD). It's a progressive metal song with djenty parts. The song is inspired by the painting "The Massacre of the Innocents" by flemish master Bruegel. It has been mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Khoma, PgLost). 

Hord - Kindermord


Hi all! Today, I had the opportunity, thanks to Richard Dalton, to try the Guitar VST plug-in called GRIND MACHINE by Audio Assault, and it works like a charm!
Grindmachine is 12 higain amps with 20 cabinets built to be mix ready. All metal rigs! No additional processing! Just insert it, choose the rig and play! This is an awesome metal/djent machine!

So here's a sample test I've just recorded with my Schecter Loomis 7-strings Diamond Series, playing the pre-chorus and chorus of the song "At the Gate" of my band HORD. This song is from the album "The Book of Eliot" (2013, Sendthewoodmusic/Season of Mist/Phd).

There are :
- 1 DI rhythmic guitar on the left side comes through the ANIMAL headamp and the ANNIHILATOR cabinet, as you can see on the picture.
- 1 DI rythmic guitar on the right side comes through the RAPTOR headamp and the Crusher cab as you can see on the picture too.

Unleash The Grind Machine - Test - Guitar Vst Plug-in

Here's a guitar/bass cover of one of my favourite Textures' song from their masterpiece album "Drawing Circles" (2006, Listenable Records). This is not the most heavy and difficult song of the album to play through, but it demands groove and to be at the end of the beat. I have recorded this cover with a simple configuration : 

- Superior drummer rough mix 
- Fender Jazz Bass + Universal Audio Twin Finity 710 as a DI + Bassgrinder Plugin by Audio Assault (WarHead + DragonCab)
- Schecter Loomis 7 Diamond Series + Universal Audio Twin Finity 710 as a DI + Grindmachine Plugin by Audio Assault (Animal Head + Annihilator Cab and Raptor Head + Crusher Cab). 

I hope you'll enjoy it! Feel free to share it! Massively! 

Textures - Surreal State Of Enlightenment - Guitar/Bass cover (New version)

Here's a track I wrote in 2009, somewhere between Brussels in Belgium and Paris in France, for Hord second album "The Waste Land" (2010, Sendthewoodmusic). It has been produced, mixed and mastered by Jochem Jacobs (Textures) at Split Second Sound Studio during August 2009. 
It's an epic progressive metal song built in two parts : one opens the album, the other one closes it. This is the second part.
