Your guitar loops are always so good, so when I see the title "Rectifier" on your track page......well.....I had to give this one a go.

And you did not disappoint.

Man, great tone, great clarity, and great technique. The drums are impressive too. Overall, I'd have to say this track is about as good as it gets. As for the tempo, I love the slower feel....but I'm an old guy and fast just doesn't work anymore, haha.

Seriously, outstanding effort here.

Thanks for the review man. Yea I dig the slower stuff alot more myself these days. It waxes and wanes lol. I wish I could actually get a decent sound out of my Triple Rec. I don't record anything with a mic so the straight in from the head to my rig and stomp boxes becomes overkill. I mainly use just a floor multi fx with amp modeling, that then goes into the input. Also with the head I pickup so much background noise it's frustrating. Even now I get too much for my taste. If I could go back and redo this track I would use some of the newer techniques I've learned. Double up the guitars. Try to get the bass more in there. Boost some of the highs a bit more on the pre mix before taking it to final mix and master.

Thanks for the review man, also another drum compliment will always make my day. I'm horrible with the drum programming stuff. Cheers :D

Love the tempo. It's like hammering spikes into a railroad with a sledgehammer. Love the tone of your guitar and the riffs. Drums are so heavy and realistic sounding. Excellent song MCHN!!

Sorry for the late reply man. Thanks for listening. I was never someone that messed with tone really. Kinda have a punk attitude towards it. Not so much like that now(kinda miss the plug in and play days). I miss doing more metal stuff. Probably the drum sequencing that hinders the idea. Hopefully something will get put together in the future. I've been saying that for a long time it seems lol. Cheer's and thanks for checking it out man.

Yay!
Someone else who kinda thinks like me with metal!

I knew I had heard your track Voyager, which is freaking awesome.

This one is damn cool too!
I know how it goes with the old stuff... I really dug the singing like synth/piano/guitar/voice?!? Awesome. Oh it's guitar.

Hehe... Centrist kinda has a point.. But I love Doom Metal.. Stoner Metal...

I just like aggression and brute wattage and saw waves lol.

Definitely would love to see you do an updated version or the same kinda style... reiteration?

Great job on the drums btw... I think the hardest freaking part about DAWs is making drums sound half-way decent and you rocked it like you were sitting on the throne.

Thanks for the review. Hah first time I get a compliment on some drums. It's something I really hate about drum machines and programming them. Never sound like a real drummer. Need to get some piano drumming skills lol. But yea the dirtier metal stuff is always my fave. Faster is better sometimes though I agree. I still sit on a ton of slow dirge metal stuff that will come out soon. Thanks for the review :D Cheers

Hey MCHN,you gotta heavy sound here.I would like to do some metal,I gotta work on that sound...Oh,and those heavy drums are a metal must have.can't complain about the tempo though...only you know the feel you were looking for and slow and heavy works for me,like the other reviewer said...it's just preference and it's also my rut,I allways get in a slow funky pocket with a lot of my rock and have to climb out.
Very good.

Hey Allen, thanks for the review. I had to go back and listen to this again, kinda forgot about it lol. Yea theres time where falling into that slow tempo groove is nice. Hard to believe its been more than a year since I recorded this. I still like to play in those slow tempos. Year's of playing at higher tempos made me enjoy coming back to that slow stuff. Definitely need to work on something metal sounding again. Thanks for the review. Cheers :D

Hehe Thanks. I've been in a kinda mid-tempo rut so alot of stuff's been coming out around 80 to 110 bpm mostly.
