This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual. Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face. Privilege brings us to this place of human currencies. (We) buried our sisters in a glass display, only to evaporate to a toxic skyline - underneath we sell off the bodies.

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls. Show me your righteous leader; I'll show you the bullet holes. The preacher[i] with the parched tongue and the "God" that he controls: "Shake off the sin! Shake off the sin!" And spit out your cacophony of lies.

I'll climb through your screen and bleed out the image you left in me.[ii]

But God, are you man? Then how do you see me? From where you sit up in heaven[iii],  looking down on my hell. My body chokes back.
"I have nothing to draw with and the well is deep - where can I get living water?"[iv]

Enslaved in the "Land of the Free"[v]  - my prison is our wedding bed where you left me for dead. You'll leave us for dead. Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea[vi] where you drown in the comfort of our complicity.

Can Love save me? Will Your wrath avenge us?[vii]

Still Echoes

BUY THE ALBUM HERE

LAMB OF GOD - Still Echoes

Just a quick test of the HetSet bridge pickup in my Jackson Custom Shop Soloist

Real Quick HetSet Test

A quick test i whipped up to showcase some of the sounds my new Mayones Regius 8 was capable of in a heavy setting.

Mayones White/Blue Fade Regius 8 String Test Clip

A quick test i whipped together to showcase my Blackmachine B6 in action.  The clip came out a bit better than i had expected, maybe ill expand on this in the future.


Blackmachine B6 Test

Quick test of the rhythm patch I dialed in with Firmware 10.  I wanted something "ampy" and rich in the mids, but that still had plenty of attack.  It is surprisingly dynamic as well, so picking hard enables me to get the sound I am after.

Axefx II Firmware 10 Test - Bulb Rhythm Patch

So I got this Two Notes Torpedo Live which is a loadbox and very customizable cab sim/IR unit wrapped into one.  Plugged my Laney Ironheart into it and of course used my Protone Misha Mansoor Signature Overdrive pedal in front and the tone was most pleasing!

Whipped up a quick clip to demo the sounds, hope ya dig!

Guitar is my Jackson Custom Shop 7 (the blue sparkle one) with BKP Aftermaths tuned to Drop Ab.  

Two Notes Torpedo/Protone Misha Mansoor OD Pedal/Laney Ironheart Test Clip

Why? Because I love this album and I love this song, and sometimes it's fun to do stuff like this!

Also a good excuse to use the Attack setting on my Protone Signature Overdrive Pedal in front of the Axefx II.
Guitar is my Daemoness 7, Bass is Trillian, Drums are Toontrack Metal Machine.

Work in progress, I am going to try to figure out that damn solo if at all possible haha.

Cover of "Elastic" by Meshuggah (WIP)

Tosin is in town so I figured I would do a quick test with his guitar!
I am using an 8 string to it's complete capacity.
One string used on the TAM 100, except for the leads which are on one string as well and going through a Dunlop Carbon Copy which is oh so sweet!
