This is pretty crazy man! Music like this can adjust your attitude on the spot. I just listened to something completely different a few minutes ago and while this was playing my blood pressure went up 40 points, lol!!
Great idea overall and excellent execution all around on it's construction and mix!! Totally dig it!!
Hey Met...I`m diggin this one...Mary actually did have a little lamb..If I can`t come up with a melody in my head when I`m playing I just recite one of those little old nursery rhymes to myself while I play so I don`t hit more notes than necessary..man...this is creative stuff (not the usual canned stuff we hear a lot of on radios)...I really respect artists who create their own sounds rather than try to emulate ones we heard already...great job....Ed
That's not a bad idea! I usually just go with the flow and my imagination does the rest.
Thanks man! I want to cut this down, deepen & lengthen particular sections...
My trick is having no idea what I'm doing!
Field recording is a sure fire way to add a little uniqueness.
Last year I worked on the rails for my City's Metrolink system and when the trams were stabled they would produce this noise that sounded like the coming of the four horsemen! The problem was it sounded off at random times so I could never catch it!
Love the intro. After that was expecting it to explode more, still, I do like your weird rythm thing, much more interesting than general mainstream dubstep.
That's a good ear you have there.. It did explode a little more originally, I brought down the decay on the first bass sound to experiment.. I thought it sounded groovier.
Hah, the rhyme was a last minute addition.. I may expand on it :)
Ableton drum rack mannn that thing makes everything so much easier I literally write entire tracks using that! Quickest way to mess around with stuff
and that's sick that you used real life sounds and stuff like L4D I love that game! that's what creativity should be about big up from me man! keep it coming
I don't use vst drums.. I use samples that I've either grabbed from somewhere or recorded myself.. Combined, manipulated, processed.. The snare is my favourite.. It's a combination of a metal baseball bat hitting the big ass bin at my work with two axe hit sounds from Left for Dead and a standard DnB styled snare, taken from an Amen break.. Still needs more work though.
But if you mean DAW, I use Ableton and the in built drum rack to host my samples.
Dude, you got some whack sounds on this. It's got a swing to it. Just curious, are you mixing loops or is this from scratch? And ya gotta love some new cans right? What did you end up getting?
Damn! You just described me from a few years back! LMAO! EyeHateGod? I am a big Jimmy Bower fan. He is so unorthodox. My old band opened for them a while back, as well as Superjoint Ritual (Jimmy Bower and Phil Anselmo were both in that one). You're out there in Electric Wizard land right? You should check out Sourvein from this side of the pond. Liz Buckingham (the chic in EW) used to be the guitarist, was dating T-Roy (the singer) and left him to be with Mr. Wizard (can't think of his name). Poor Troy, felt bad for him!
Enough of that...I'll go back to that tune and get the stems to a usable state. I'll see what else I have in the archive. When you get around to it, we'll just call it a collab or whatever.
If you need any guitar work for whatever else you're working on, let me know. It would be nice not to have to worry about everything else in a song for a change.
Just message me here, or I'll message you when went shit's ready.
You opened for Superjoint!!!!! I cannot convey my jealousy in words... Have a few grawlix instead *@!!!!!!@$*((*!!!
I'm yet to check Electric Wizard, many of my friends are into them but I have a strange ritual where listening to bands I've not heard before.. I'll be sure to check them out.
Guitar work! Yes! I have a lot of ideas about guitars and heavy DnB but everytime I record I can't get the sounds equal in intensity, my guitars always fail me, despite having a Dean Dlimebolt, with Seymour Duncan's and a decent recording facility.. I think a better amp and a DI box are in order.. Line 6 sucks for recording, but I'm poor :(
Send it over dude, I'll twist up whatever you've got \m/
You would likely know I`m not a good source of knowledgeable commentary on the genre Met...Guess the kind of limiting you hit this one with is part of the genre ...I`m listening with a pair of old Sony (MDR-V600) cans that don`t reproduce the low end well but they are great on the highs...and this one has a lot of higher & high-mid frequency content...I would be inclined to do a bit of selective cutting in that area (maybe around 1.2 khz and above 5) & lay some big fat bass in there pushing some 80 hz & lower stuff...you got lot of power going on so you`re well on your way....keep on....Ed
Yeah, metal is in a weird place nowadays. NIN and Static X seemed to start the blend of electronic and metal, but then rap metal took over and led us to whatever it is we have now. Some of it's okay, but mostly very overproduced. I listen to mostly doom/sludge when it comes to metal lately, but I'd like to hear some Meshuggah with dnb pushing it. Here's a link to a metal tune I did. Very Slayer-ish. I really don't have any plans for it, the mix is a bit trashy, but if you like it and want to do something with it, I'd clean it up and drop the drums or whatever and send it to you. It's the only metal on this page (been trying new stuff) but an older page of mine is mostly metal.
Everything I hear just feels like trite, dude with tattoos and long hair plays guitar with bearded band mates, rinse & repeat.. Bringing nothing new to the genre, I'm hoping to be proven wrong, I don't hold out much hope... I do favour doom & Sludge as well.. Eyehategod in particular at the moment... Listening to yours now.. Very Slayer, I would love to get the stems for it but I probably wouldn't get to work on anything for quite some time, I have a huge back log of projects & ideas to finish.. But who knows they might inspire something awesome.. Sent you a follow too :)
I love the idea of taking the heavy metal mentality and applying it to electronic music.. I feel it's the future for metal, which is highly stagnant these days.
Wow this is energetic!
Lot of energy coming dow the line here!
Very well put together.
Theres so much going on but you managed to get it all in place. I'll be coming back to this lunacy for sure!
You did a great job on this! A little simple, but I absolutely love it. You really need to make a longer, full version of this. I want to hear it.
That being said, you do come across as a little high-and-mighty on the first comment there. Saying you should delete a comment because it wasn't worthy of your music isn't exactly the most humble approach to go with.
Also, yeah, I agree with you on the volume. It wasn't too loud for me at all.
Good job here, can't wait to see more of your stuff!
Thank you for listening dude.. I have big ideas for this one.. I just need some more equipment for it (new headphones & DI box)
If you'll click the "plays" tab... Have a look for the first commenters name.. It's not there.. Combining that with the lacklustre comment, I assumed he commented without listening, to get his track back onto the top of the featured tracks page... A behaviour observed before.. Not very humble...
lovin that intro, and the strings/brass section. and that drop jeez ha man it's got some balls, also like the drums breaking down around 1:35-1:40, creative stuff brah
Hey I really like that guitar riff and filter you got going on, that drums are pretty thin, but, having no way to monitor, i guess that's to be expected. I'd like actually to play with the stems to this if you wouldn't mind. Also, depending where you are, if the shipping isnt too nuts, i have a pair of Shure 440 monitor headphones i could give/send you as i don't use them anymore. PM me if you interested.
Great dubstep. No excessive wobbling but just straight on and raw beats. Nice vocal shots as well. Love the panning synths in it. They make it very vivid. Maybe mixed a bit too loud but that is easy fixable..
Hi mate, sounding ok considering you had no monitors!?? I am listening on ear buds too!! Where are the scratches from? They sound really cool and fit the track really well!
It sucks, I'll be picking up some KRK's in the near future.. As for the scratches I couldn't say, I have a huge library (A whole HDD dedicated to them) with tonnes of scratches.. Thank you, I do feel this track is missing something though.. I can't put my finger on it :/
Very cool man! The skills to learn to play this kind of music are invaluable. Playing rockabilly/rock/latin... licks are so within your grasp now, kudos! And learning the fret board a little better in the process is a nice afterthought.
I use Am so much, my favorite key for Latin and Western songs, it just has "that" feeling. The big reverb separates the guitars and sets a cool vibe. It is raw sounding, gives the listener some dust in their teeth, which is what you want to do, lol.
It's such a joy learning this style, difficult but enjoyable. I'm working on Cavatina lately but I may need a new guitar for it (if there was ever an excuse to buy a new guitar XD)
I haven't listened to any of your music in a long while, I'll be sure to swing by your page once my slave labour releases me :)
