This song is the third song of a (long) musical project journey called Blutarzky. I am trying to improve recordings skills through projects with 'minimal' stuff. Just a laptop, software and the input of some great musicians / friends. Learning this way step by step ...🙂 

This song is an oldie (2008 / 2009) written by Bastiaan Kuiper. It was never released before. I always liked the drive and vibe of the instrumental version so this was the time to Frankenstein it alive... Steven Tolkamp did a great job with lyrics and vocals.

Thanks for the tips and ears: Steven Tolkamp, Erwin Hermsen.

Blutarzky - The Sum Of Your Fears

This is the 4th song of a musical project journey called Blutarzky. I am just trying to improve recordings skills with 'minimal' stuff through song projects. Just a laptop, software, my stupid song writing 'urge' and the input of some great musicians / friends. Learning this way step by step ...:) 

I wrote this song somewhere end of 2020. Along the way I added some extra guitar stuff and layers. The end goal was to write a song in the veins (feel) of Iron Maiden and also production wise let it sound like an "80's/90's Maiden / Headbangersball" production. I just like that 'old school' vibe. I don't know if it turned out that way but this is as close as I could get with the stuff and ears at that moment.

My mate Bastiaan Kuiper came up with two really awesome finger lickin' great guitarsolos for this track. Just imagine he played these solos in about one take with a 150 bucks guitar with factory strings still on it ... insane!

Léo Silva is a Portuguese singer (living in the UK) with a voice in the veins of Mike Baker (rip) and Bruce Dickinson. I like his voice and the great melodics and leads he made for this song. Very nice guy and very professional as well. Léo wrote the lyrics and did all vocals and vocal arrangements.
