Description : I had some fun with a wah-pedal effect in this one. It's nothing too remarkable, but a fun little Rock piece none the less. Enjoy. V.

If you have time take a listen and give ValveDriver some feedback.
Oh yes Valve, more please give me that metal proper heavy, yeh I'm a hip hop stalwart with an eclectik taste this is smoke on the water ish to me more of this in featured please it's lacking in this field absolutely freakin head shakin stuff
Thanks for swinging by and leaving such kind comment.
If you go to my track list and check through there, you'll find a few rock/metal tracks that I did.
Specifically, "Overmyth" parts 1-3, "Mossmother" Pt 1, and "Red On The White".
I do have a few of them that are unfinished, but they're on their way!!
This is some cool, long haired, hard rock band shit! The wah wah pedal is a great one, a classic! Metallica, Black Sabbath come to mind as I listen. Would love me some Hetfield or Osbourne vox on this.
First thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. It means a lot.
I take it as a giant compliment that Sabbath and Metallica come to mind. Those two bands, I think I can honestly say, are two of the bands that had the most impact on my musical tastes. I would actually like to hear some Ozzy vocals over this, too. But it has to be 70's Ozzy.
Thanks again, brother. I appreciate it.
Take care.
Aaron.
I think this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned Type-O in regards to one of my tracks! I never really thought about that before, since I'm not a fan. But, since you mentioned it, I can totally hear it! I don't think he'll be doing any vocals any time soon. You know...given his current situation. HA! Too soon?
Hi Aaron...although I'm more a fan of your industrial stuff I must admit you're making top class recordings in metal teritory
as well and this one is no exception. It's true power pack of massive sound that you produce so damn well. Instant fav !
First, thank you for the kind words. Knowing that metal isn't really in yiur list of favorites, it means a lot more that you still take the time to listen and comment.
As far as the industrial Valvedriver, stay tuned. Summer months generally bring out the metal in me. But, the colder winter months always seem to be when I do more of my darker, synth driven industrial style. I'm not sure why, though. That's just how it happens.
As always, I appreciate you stopping by, and always look forward to your input.
"Forgive my ignorance, but By "...too clean" do you mean tones and production, or the lack of fret noises and other organic artifacts that come from live guitars, or are they too perfectly timed due to being programed in a DAW, or all the above?"
Aaron, I was only referring to the comparison to Kyuss. They go for a much more raw sound with their guitars with dirty distortion and heavily muted tones.
No man, I'm not complaining that it doesn't sound real enough. I'm not one of those guys. On the contrary, I love the sound on this and I'm pretty damn impressed and all in on someone that can produce virtual guitar at this level. By the way I have spent countless hours editing guitar tracks to remove string scrapes and pick noises etc. to clean things up. Sometimes it sounds cool but mores times than not it too obvious or annoying. I'm digging what your doing bro, keep it up.
I knew you weren't complaining, bud. I didn't even consider the thought that you were. I was only asking for the sole purpose of improving my works. I'm all about making it sound as real as possible, and who better to learn from than someone who knows, ya know? I thought maybe there were things I could have done to make it sound less...software.
Either way, man. I always look forward to what you have to say, and I'm always willing to accept pointers and advice, so whenever you might have some, throw it my way, mister!
Oh Hell yeah,,,well befitting of The Valvedriver,,,,,you really have been nailing the mixes Aaron...this is top class all the way....my hair is growing back in even though metal hasn`t often been my first listening choice....but canT ignore music when its well done with this kind of composing & mixing skills...I have an old 1983 Takamine electric gtr with a couple of Dimarzio high output pickups that does this kind of stuff to a T..tempted to pill it out of its resting place & make a noise...great stuff my friend....keep on...Ed
I'm not sure what to say, getting that kind of praise from someone of your caliber makes my freakin day, man.
Man, I wish my hair would grow back after listening to it! I know metal isn't real high on your list of preferred genres, so it means even more to me that you still swing by and listen.
I think having found and learned the Shreddage vst was a really good rhing for me. Metal IS my favorite genre. And while I had a lot of fun with the electronic, synth based stuff from my early days here, being able to create the music I love just makes it so much easier. It just flows so much more freely.
As far as dusting off the ol' Takamine...do it! I dare ya! ;)
Ed, you take care, and as always, I truly appreciate your feedback.
Ooooo, that sustain is wicked man! Its pretty clean though so I'm guessing its all digital processed. Yeah a nice hard driver here bro. I dig the chord changeups and the drum track is also excellent and very tastefully done. Danke mentioned Kyuss and even though its probably way too clean guitar wise, it does remind me of something they have done. Definitely has a nice stoner groove and sounds great. Always a treat to see another ValveDriver track on the menu. We got to keep this place rockin !
Yeah, it's all digital all the time with this boy.
Honestly, I never really got into Kyuss. I love the music, but the guys voice just doesn't do it for me. Which is the case for a lot of bands.
Forgive my ignorance, but By "...too clean" do you mean tones and productuon, or the lack of fret noises and other organic artifacts that come from live guitars, or are they too perfectly timed due to being programed in a DAW, or all the above?
I'm glad you like this one. I always look forward to your reviews, man. Thank you!
Awesome song dude. Did like this one a lot. Rock on! Everything in the track just fitted perfectly. So yeah a very solid and good track. Keep up the good work. And keep on listening & creating. And again well done. * bro fist *
Fav from the first second...this is like a slow Kyuss jam in the rehearsal room with high quality...maybe that guy below could send some Garcia like vocs on this...
excellent track, congrats and hail for metal...hope all is well...Danke

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : Produced by me. Vocal by singer from Croatia.
It will be released in few months.
I wanted to offer this song to a singer from LM community but she refused me before i even offered it to her.
I was actually inspired by Richard Shekaris work in here few months ago for this song.
It was meant to be in Latin at first but we found up it's much easier to do it in Italian with almost same effect.
This is all made in FL, no live instruments played , it's all electronic.
Love and peace.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
