Material for an album which I may or may not ever complete...

Who The Hell Knows

Black Cloud -- (Concept of Instruments Demo)

This is my first crack ever at laying down multiple tracks as a one man operation. Whoo! FL Studio, DKFH, and Tracktion 5 for the win! Oh yeah, and lots of beer!

Winter Chills Us - (Concept of Instruments Demo)

Just a quick track I layed down while trying to get an idea out of my head.  Interresting things like this tend to happen when I'm left with an hour to kill and nobody is home.  
This is actually just an acoustic guitar.  Gotta love the wonders of software!  I got pissed off with how it sounded and started mocking it which turned out to be comical.  So why not share in my insanity?

I Hate This Song

16hr work day before this.  Had to track the idea before it vanished.  Spent about 45 mins recording multiple guitar layers as well as the bass, drums and vocals just for the multi-track machine to crap out in the middle of an export resorting in an entire loss of work.
So...  A little bit tired, a little bit wired, and maybe a bit stoned. It took me about 45 mins to track this out again.  Not as good as the first time though...

Nevr-Dull  (Demo)

I fear that now this life will end
It's all been good my dear friend
When the asteroid strikes to kill us all
I hope that we don't see it fall

------------------------------

Displace the water onto the lands
Tidal waves move across the sands
Washing away all that's around
Into the mountains soaking the ground

Fear not my child, for this is not the end
Countless lives undevout will surely end
He who believes will survive in this life 
to walk this earth but live in strife

Learn how to love and how to forgive
For it is this way which you will live
What seems reckless abandon will all be clear 
when you hold those in Your life oh, so dear.

Let it be but twenty one years
The last of the flood will dry your tears.  
You have no reason to live in fear 
for it is you who will lead them here...

The Asteroid End

This tune was inspired by sitting out on the porch looking into the night sky.  I had such a great view of the stars and even got to see a meteor!

Mix is super rough, but gets the idea down.

Stary Night (Really Rough)

You've heard the term 'Drowning your demons' before.  This is the evil that lurks under that water.

Another rough idea.  DI into Tascam with beater bass and dumpster acoustic.

Evil Under Water

Fun track I came up with the idea for after drinking a bunch of alcohol.  Finally got around to arranging the thing the way I wanted so I decided to record it with my old and wobbly sounding strings!  Hope you all love it, hate it, or at least listen to it!  Mwahahahahaha!

Leanin' On A Hurricane

New tune called Wandering.  I think you can even hear me trip over a few things too.

I broke out the big guns and had a bit of fun.  Ibanez RG321, Hand built cool ass tube amp(I made it my self!) pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes followed up by a weighty KT88 to make around 20W of tube power, into a pair of matching serial 1957 Rola-Jensen speakers made right here in PA.  Speaker cab is heavy as fuck, made out of 3/4" MDF as a 2x12 slant.  Unique and great sounding if you ask me.  There are no filters or anything on the guitars.  Just a compressor for bass and and compressor and 4band eq for drums.

My drum kit is in total shambles.  Not much left to work with.  I used a pencil to play the snare which sat on a box next to kick drum.  Lame...

Death Sentence.  Spite.

Death Sentence

In the beginning I was all like...  
"Hello, 4-string Bass.  Meet 6-String Guitar."
And that is how its been.
But then things started to change...

6-string has always wanted to be so much like its lower tuned counterparts and didn't really like to play with some of its higher notes.  No matter how hard it tried, it simply couldn't ever go low enough.  So one day after a much needed bath, it decided to try on a set of 7-string clothes.  As it finished getting dressed, it wondered "Do I have the attitude to back this up?"

Hell yeah it did!  It sounds so fucking brutal!

Now of course, the many 4-string bass brothers were like..  "WTF dude?  Where did this come from?"
So I was all like...  "Yo, 4-strings, 6-strings, and the cross dressing 7-string wannabe, Meet 5-string!"

They all stood there.  Silent.  Staring at one-another.  They had just got done seeing what that cross-dressing 6-string freak of the family did not that long ago.
I wonder how this is gonna go down...  

Until the next one, keep it metal.      \m/
