So it appears, I've had some extra time on my hands lately (wisdom teeth surgery) and I plugged in my guitar. Soon I had the idea to come up with something like a Black Metal (ish) tune and just went with it. Piece by piece it became a whole song but as usual I got carried away and the result isn't as Black Metal as I had hoped for. There is probably too much Azum in my head Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think, if you want. The leads are improvised and will be further refined, if I find some more motivation, vocals will be done when my mouth doesn't hurt as badly as it currently does and bass lines will be recorded once I get my basses back. Drums are just boring samples, if anyone feels inspired, surprise me and come up with your drum recording This was done in less than a day using my Macbook and more importantly my good old Hohner Lead (first guitar I ever owned) from the 80's.

Pulling Teeth

So here is another song I came up with in almost no time. I wanted to record something with a southern metal feel to it. Taking a step back I would say there are influences by Pantera, Lamb of God, Metallica, Iced Earth and even Clawfinger in there but you will be the judge of that. This one definitely needs some more work and as with the other song I uploaded yesterday, vocals and bass still need to be laid down and drums again are only samples but that's obvious. It's a work in progress I wanted to share anyway - let me know what you think.

Smells Funny

So after a month of pretty much nothing but black metal I wanted to do something entirely different and I came to the conclusion that this had to be done by recording a german punk rock song - makes sense, right? Here is a short preview of the early demo. I tried to really keep it simple and kind of capture the sound of how a song would have sounded if recorded 15 years ago when I was playing in my first punk band. Oh yeah and that "all the small things" reference is not really a reference, it just sounds similar but there's only so many versions of the 3 chord song you can do. 

Punky

Here's some work in progress of today. Don't know where this will end up eventually. As usual, the drums are quite the awful samples and need work. 

Last Morning

Slow Decay

WIP - This is some weirdo, an attempt to fuse punk and djent elements. 

Mesh Pistol

This is just a brief tribute I spontaneously recorded after learning about the passing of Lemmy. Rock on, bass on 11

Aos Tribute Snippet

what a weird thing this is, simple and dirty, I don't know if I like it.
