I particularly love the sense of space and dark movement - fitting title - classic and a psychological thriller

great intro love that single snare snap and then the drums drop, great percs and the atmospheric synth work is powerful with that distortion, the beat smashes you over the head, i just had to climb the beanstalk the friendly giant didn't disappoint bro, top mix

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
