Some unreleased EP stuff which is, in my opinion, the best stuff Ammotrack has ever written and recorded! Do you not agree?

Ammotrack - Warm Up (Unreleased EP Version) - guitar solo

Here's a little guitar solo snippet I found yesterday in my own dusty music production archive. So, I added some key pads to fill in under, with a nice chord progression that follows the tonalities of the guitar lick. 

For you nerds out there, the chord progression is as follows: 

E♭m add♭13 → E♭m9 → E♭m6 → G♭add9 → G♭maj7/B♭ → E♭m → E♭m6

Not the average progression, but I like unorthodox ways of doing art. ;)

Hey! 

I have been putting together a sample (or a showreel if you will) to show off my producing, mixing and mastering skills...hmm, don't know if "skills" is the right word chosen, but hey, I'll let you decide on that one. ;) 

Anyhoo, this is some of the studio work I've been fortunate and happy to do the past year, together with some beloved kick-ass people, musicians and bands. 

The genres in the sound clip spans from Rock N' Roll to Hard Rock to Folk Metal. I hope you, the listener, will enjoy this as much as we enjoyed recording it. 

Credit shout-outs are aimed at you Tvivel, Sisinvia, Öken, Holiday Cramps & Roadrunners.

See ya!

AC/DC - "Stiff Upper Lip" Cover

Original rhythm guitar track for Pantera's "Mouth For War". Dime = God!

This is the first of three shreddy guest solos I did for the awesome Swedish Thrash Metal act Defiatory. This very solo is from a track called "Reaper", off the pre-production version of their debut album "Extinct". Nonetheless, both the pre-production and the actual product kicks major ass!

Disclosure: This is a short snippet from the ongoing sessions of a cover version of Pantera's "A New Level" me and some friends are recording, thus pleasing our inner nostalgic nerds. This is just an in-progress non-mixed version, so don't take this as being something that's finalized and done. It's far from it! And yes, we are still searching for an Anselmo clone "i bögda nånstans"...

Essence Of Sorrow - The Essence Of Sorrow (guitar solo)

Here we have the perfect drum overhead combo, in my humble opinion: two very fine Thuresson CM402 mics and two SSL 9000 preamp clones that I built. The cymbals come to life and almost feel close mic'd even though the mics are quite distant, and at the same time all cymbals sound really clean. Anyway, this is unfinished, unmixed stuff that is going to be on a full-length album when everything in life is in phase. 

Drums played by the mighty Lutas Lideqwarn. Recorded and engineered at Cutwork Studios by me.

Guitar shredder/ex-guitar shredder/guest sessioneer in bands such as Solution .45, Torchbearer, The Few Against Many, Ammotrack, Mean Streak etc. Other than that, I am a CNC nerd, electronics monkey, Photoshop wannabe manic, commander-in-chief at Cutwork Studios, Cubase abuser and so bloody forth.
