It's not my kind of music but I think it's an art how you bring everything together in the right way and make the music yourself.
Its realy sad that we need to say that it was made by human and not AI.I fear that human artists of music and videos will soon be a thing of the past when I see how many people now prefer to make and listen to AI music and make AI video clips.

Really well done!

I have a couple of amp sims that I use. For the more industrial type that I do I use Nolly X. It's intended for more high gain metal. For the sludgier metal, and clean sound, I use Amplitube 5.
Honestly, I don't think the price of the guitar, or even the brand really matters. It's all in what you do with it. And what you're doing with it,...it works, man. Keep on keepin' on!

It all works super nicely together - vocal samples are bang on for the tempo and general vibe of the track. Second drop is pure magic!
Dreamy. Zoot time :)

The simplicity here is actually complex, and full. And yes, that IS a true statement lol

I'm on my first play as I type this, and usually, I wait for at least listen 3 or 4 before I start putting words down, but good lord, man! The tone, texture and attitude of that distorted guitar is absolutely gnarly! I love it.
Typically, I don't really care if a song has vocals or not. I generally don't pay attention to them when they're there anyhow, (just a weird quirk I've always had), but my first thought on this was "Damn, I can almost hear Layne Staley in here." Then, I thought, "ooh even better...our very own Bananalu".
As far as the track itself, top notch, my friend. The mix is crystal, the arrangement, the instrumentation, everything, man. It works.
I love the fact that with the drums and bass, its not really about pushing the song forward as much as it is about carrying weight. The drums arent just keeping time, theyre holding the groove in place. Same with the bass. That lack of complexity is exactly what gives it its gravitas.
I already mentioned the distorted guitar. Man, its just sweaty, gritty, and sexy. The clean guitars make the intent of the song quite clear and they keep everything grounded. Nothing feels busy or unnecessary.
I think, really, this track works so well because it uses weight and restraint. It moves slow and confident. The low end does all of the seducing instead of relying on flashy dynamics or excess. Theres a dark, nocturnal sensuality to it, more pressure than motion, and more implication than release. Everything feels intentional and grounded, and that heaviness gives it this intimate, slightly dangerous feel. It doesnt chase your attention at all. It just pulls you in and holds you there.
It's like being F'd up in a dirty, underground-after-midnight bar with broken neon, and concrete floors, knowing you shouldn't be there, but too wasted to care.
Beautifully done, sir! I downloaded it so it can give it a home in my "Dark And Dirty" playlist.
Take care, Chris.

Anyway, your description and adjectives, I feel, fit the vibe of this perfectly.
As for the guitar, I only use Guitar Rig 6 Pro (I don't have .an amp or speakers). The guitar is one I bought 9 months or so ago. It's a cheap as chips black Artist Grungemaster with P90 pickups. Cost all of about $150 US. But the quality for the price is amazing and I like the way it plays and the tone a lot.
I totally dug your last one by the way.
All the best, Chris
