Pop-rock freedom.
Using Revalver for guitars and Toontrack Rock Solid for drums.

Dandy Lions

Deftones X Dragonzball

First full cover in a long time. Wrong notes in the last breakdown but I don't want to retrack it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Featuring Guitar Pro 6 on Lead Sweep Guitar

It's Not Safe To Swim Today

Decided to cover Metallica after not listening to them for like 5 or so years. Trying to get my mix close tho the album's super 80's vibe. Master bus reverb at 25% blend

Metallica - Escape (lil teaser)

Got my Laney IRT Studio today and it rips. Might post raw clips later, we'll see.

Laney IRT Studio Test

Finally getting used to my JBLs that I got earlier this week. Took a while since I was so used to speakers that were pretty much the opposite of flat. Since everyone liked it, I figured this would be a good, heavy song to do to break them in.
Guitars are Mercuriall U530
Bass is Trilian and secret sauce
Drums are GetGood Drums, the 20 inch kick and Low Snare.

Here's a link to the original:

Unnatural Apathy - New Mix on my JBL LSR305s

After a long time of working on songs with @AndrewHickman and delaying things, I finally decided to quickly track one of the songs we've completed to finally have something to put out there. 
This is the first song we worked on for our project 'November'. The song has been tossed around and changed for about a year and this is pretty much it's final state (as a demo of course). Expect the full EP to be coming very soon!

Restoration (November - EP Demo)

I think I might be able to call this song complete, thanks to the massive help of @ezendejas7 

For the drums, I wanted to see how GetGood Drums would sound in the context of non-metal, and the results are AWESOME.

Solemn v2

Fun little lead, gonna branch this into a full song, stay tuned.

Rhythm tone is Kazrog FB100 > ML Zilla cab

Journeyman

Mama Wants A F**king Nap

Borrowing the Axe FX II from @monroe-vallejo while he's away for the month.

This is just a quick fun clip because I got a heavy as balls tone.
Signal chain is TS808 > PVH 6160 Block > ML USA Djent - Misha Mix 1

Bass is Trilian, drums are GGD with some samples, nothing too thrilling

Using my Ibanez RG752 with Dimarzio D-Activators

Grumpy

Installed the Nazgul/Sentient into my RG752 over the weekend, decided to make a little clip and post it up here for a bit.
For anyone who is curious about how the Nazgul sounds! Tone is split, then full humbucker

Absolutely love the pickup, really made the guitar come alive, vs the D-Activators that were in it. Definitely a good fit for a Mahogany guitar

Signal Chain: 
Ibanez RG752WMFX > Helix Native (Badonk amp, no Boost) > ML Sound Lab 'Mega Oversize' Cab

Seymour Duncan Nazgul - Quick Clip!

But our records don't show from where

Ibanez RG752WMFX, Seymour Duncan, Slate Drum, a sample used, bass is there and a synth might be in it as well. Thanks

You've Finally Arrived

Short clip of a new song by me and a friend. Picking back up the post-rock project from 2 years ago.

Beneath The Sea (Demo)

Just a quick little thing I did with the Archetype Nolly plugin and the new GGD P4 library. Super sick stuff

Archetype Nolly and GGD P4

I'm About To Have Breakdown

Thumbnail is a screenshot of what was on my master bus because I didn't know what else to put.

Using my PRS SVN for all guitars.
Eurobass II for Bass,
GGD Invasion (+Samples) for drums
Synth lead is ANA 2

Prog-y And Vibey And Possibly Spicy

Just picked up this Tagima Jazzmaster today (guitar on the right), so I figured I'd shoot it out directly with my Fender Jaguar.

Tagima is first and Fender is second in both clips.
Both guitars are in the bridge position.\

STL Howard Benson was used for the distorted tone, and Archetype Plini was used for the clean tone

Tagima Jazzmaster Vs Fender Jaguar

The past year had me feeling like my inspiration or ideas would ever come back, but here we are.
After this past year, I'm coming back with a better sense of where I want to go, with music, and in life. Stay tuned for more.

Oh, and check out my single 'One Week' (by Joshua Luke) on Spotify if you've made it this far.
