You (demo)

The idea for Flaying came from a simple drum beat that I wrote on Maschine. 

The beat lead to a syncopated guitar riff, and everything else fell into place within a couple of hours. 

The Hardcore History Episode 61, Painfotainment, made an impression on me and as I was listening back to the instrumental track, the words "tell me how it feels to be skinned alive" kept popping up in my head. 

Technical notes: 

Recorded on Pro Tools 12. 

I’m using a ’93 Fender Stratocaster, 2007 Schecter Hellraiser 7-String Guitar and a 2006 Fender Squier Precision Bass. 

Guitar signal: Guitar > Way Huge Swollen Pickle > Dunlop MC404 Wah  > MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay > Marshall JMP-1 Pre-Amp > Mesa-Boogie 2:100 Amplifier. 

Mic’d with a Shure SM-57. 

Bass tone courtesy of the good ol’ Sansamp plugin.
