Awesome track, sufficiently epic. I'm more in the Black/Technical Death Metal direction when it comes to metal preference (Nile, Gorod, Necrophagist, Gojira), so I keep wanting to hear a ridiculous wall of blast beats, but that wouldn't be very "doom metal" (you'd think I'd know).

I'll end up listening to the rest of them, great track. I feel lazy making my tracks in 2-6 hours (I have to set my own time constraints), but I'm a perfectionist too and would have never finished my first track otherwise.

Let's drink 389 glasses of whiskey once to die...then I'm going to go with you with the 2-bed detoxication after this song ...one of my favourite metal style is the doom (start from Sabbath of course...)
that opening bass is sharp as knife...later those heavy guitars are like tones of bricks...
METAL OPUS, we can say but under there were many glamorous and generous guys to tell you properly what we feel about this track...

hugh work Aaron, thanx for the upload, handshake with the fav of course, Danke

Danke, whats up, my friend?

Sabbath is one of my all time favorites. At least the Sabbath with Ozzy. I'm not a fan of Dio/Sabbath.

I'm glad you liked this one.

Take care good sir.

I saw where Tumbleweed commented on this track and I figured if HE had good things to say about it, it would be worth a couple of swigs of ginger ale while I stayed put to listen to it. It was heavy alright, my desktop whined a bit. It was very busy yet you didn't have anything stepping on anything else (like what nags at me when I make a track). I would ever be able to sit still long enough to spend 389 hours on one tune. My threshold for being ready to wind down comes a lot sooner than a year/year and a half. I was intrigued by how much you seamlessly feathered these many instruments together like a genuine band. Sometimes I find some wicked loops that mes together like peanut butter & jelly and it makes me feel so good when people don't realize that I'm using loops and compliment me on my guitar playing! You have mastered the art of looping and knob-fiddling very well. Kudos, vic

Vigwig, how are you? Thanks for stopping by. Even if it was inspired by Tumbleweed.

Typically, I don't spend that much time on one track. But, like Neomorpheus said, I am a perfectionist. Getting my loops to mesh together took a lot of working and reworking. I would come up with a great riff, but then would have to rework it to get the flow right with the one before or after it. A lot of times it was just one note sounding off. Whether it was in the wrong place kn the scale, or too much or too little sustain. Palm mute or open. There were a lot of obstacles in thatvsense. Then, much like Staticnomad said, there was a lot of fiddling about with settings. I had a hell of a time getting my mix right. So, between being a perfectionist, and stubborn as hell, it took a long time, and I wasnt going to let it beat me. Kind of fitting really. Considering the meaning of this track.

Thanks again for the kind words, I hope all is well with you.

Take care.

Man....I hardly know what to say about this...if you didn`t say otherwise I would just accept the guitars as a performance by a mighty talented metal group...I can`t imagine the time, effort and talent you put into this Aaron...but the results are evidence....just a superb example of a metal composition, arranged, performed and delivered so well that even a mellow old guitar dude like me has to stand up and say BRAVO.......Ed

Ed, good to hear from you.

I definitely put a lot of time into this one. There were a lot of riffs that got cut and reformed. This was one of those tracks thatvwas nothing but trouble for the longest time. But, Iwasn't about to let it win! I'm too stubborn to let that happen.
Like I told Eric, it always means a lot when talented musicians like yourself compliment my work. It keeps me wanting to not only do more, but constantly improve. So, with that being said, thank you!

Take care my friend!

What an epic track. I love Doom metal, this is exactly why. Heavy droning riffs with a soundscape to get lost in. The Doom Hammer was dropped for sure.Now i will have to listen to the trilogy ! \m/

Thanks, man. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The other two aren't doom, but they still rock pretty good. Let me know if you dig 'em.

Take care.
