Description : Another one with more metal influence. I wanted to make a track using a very heavy natural drum kit (specifically death metal double bass drum stuff) but still keep it somewhat electronic sounding by adding in some minimal synth and a heavy bass line. I used a couple drum loops from fellow member Anchor as well as a guitar riff he did. I added in some electronic beats on top of Anchor's metal drum loop to give it a cool mix sound of natural and electronic. I only had one quick guitar riff so I tried to cut and chop that as well as adding in lots of breaks and change ups to keep the structure interesting. Anyways, thanks for listening.

Just got around to listening to this track. This had me headbanging- it takes a lot to get that happening. Electro-metal is a cool genre I am only finding here at looperman and this stuff gets me excited about how creative people can be. I love this and you did so much with limited metal loops. Definitely check out Sony's Ultimate Metal Construction. It is the subtleties like using an acoustic guitar to create a percussion sound and the way sounds cut in and out that make this so interesting. Each sound arrives at just the right time and the breaks add definition. Awesome- inspiring. I would love to see more like this. Kper

Ah man, we think alike....haha - I love a good electro metal track - I have seen that sony metal construction kit, I think I might have to get it, because finding enough good tuned down distorted guitar is hard. Glad you liked it.

i've been digggin' on some looperville tonight.its been a while. this one really stands out. love the bass on the 16ths. like the metel influence. I think this one is "electro-metel-core" you've created a new genre!

i love it.

Agree with goosemeyer, but, I know, as I have heard your tracks on and off over a year or soo, and they are always just consistently great.

Great knack for arrangement, and production.

This is definitely a showcase of that... but I do want to add, woulda shoulda coulda been awesome if you had more guitar loops and one other fill.

Maybe one change. like a bridge, altho, the 2 minute mark was an incredible twist, as was the end.

Freaking awesome.
Downloaded and faved.
gonna listen to another one

Thanks for the review man...and I totally hear what your saying, that's one thing that always has hindered me with my tracks, not being able to play an instrument forces me to make tracks with the loops I can find...haha. I value your comments, and you're a cool cat in my book - you're a long time looper I have always had mucho respect for (musically and your views)... I've been pretty busy lately but would love to colab in the future man!

Usually, when I click on a track labeled "Metal", it's sounds as if the drums came from a store in a can, but this is a refreshing change..It sounds like a BAND, not a dude..

lol - thanks. I know what you mean, I was able to get some more thickness beef with stacking natural kits and electronic beats.

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.

Description : I wanted to create an EDM-nostalgic pop type track. Liek the ones Kygo used to upload in 2016. With a euphoric trance feel but electronic vibe. Highly melodic though. This can be a summer anthem. Although winter's coming. Cheers.
