Drums playing by themselves ?
I was hard enough for me to convince the ghost to do the guitar! I will leave that one up to you bro.

Thank you tsochai, I'm glad to hear your comment.

Hey thanks Bella ! I'm a huge fan of Halloween and as you well know, thoroughly enjoy doing theme tracks. Groove Like A Zombie is certainly one my biggest tracks in terms of popularity. It's great to have you give it a mention. I just put the annual Halloween track post in the forum, and hopefully it sparks some interest and activity.

Hey Burt, thanks for the responses. Just wanted to let you know the Halloween thread is up so hopefully you and others will give us some cool new tracks for scaring up some fun at the big Trick or Treat this year !!!

Hello Burt, I almost didn't recognize you with the name change. Nice to hear from you. I have been extremely busy for many months with family issues, work and with my other hobby, my artwork. I literally haven't played or even opened my DAW in at least 2 months. I guess I have really gotten off track music-wise and that makes me sad. I think it really stems from what I perceived as an overall loss of interest here at Looperman among most of the members that I had developed a rapport with. Many had simply dropped off the radar entirely. This is entirely understandable, since we had all been doing this for quite a few years. I fully realize nothing lasts forever. Anyhow, I do still love music and I'm always listening. However I am starting to feel some serious withdrawl symptoms from not creating. Hopefully I can get things sorted out and get back on here with something new soon. Maybe the Halloween thread will encourage me to get going again. I'm at the least interested in hearing what you come up with from the Bone Shaker cigar box. Thanks for the comment Burt and yeah, looking forward to rejoining the fray real soon. So stay tuned !

Yeah I really like to embellish on these descriptions. Its fun for me and as you say provides my vision. Yeah I like your vision too. I appreciate the fave and went ahead and unlocked it for download if you like. Thanks for the listen and nice comment.

Hey helruna, thanks for the listen and taking time to drop a comment. I much appreciate it.

I totally agree with your assessment in that there is probably far too much repetition. I really had no intention of comparing this to anything like Meshuggah, Tool etc., its far too melodic and as you mentioned too straight forward with time signature. Which is why I made mention of Periphery in my description. I guess I could have taken more time to develop the structure and create more new content but in this case I merely wanted to take some old material and invest the least amount of time to put something half way decent together. I'm not really into this style so much which is probably the reason I failed to finish the song originally.

I certainly appreciate you weighing in on this and suggest you check out some of my other tracks. I do have a cover track of Meshuggah and a good variety of other genre stuff. I'm interested in checking out your music too, which I will definitely do.

You got it bro. Although Destroy Erase Improve came before the guys switched to the 8 strings (which locked down their current sound and unleashed the low register assult era of djent upon the world), this album was certainly significant. Hagstrom had just joined the band and they ended up mashing so many sub genres together the fusion effect led them to create what would become their quintessential sound. They began the development of distinctly more complex songs and debuted the polymetered and polyrhythm song structures which would provide the impetus to their later creation of mathcore and djent.

Some scientists have recently therorized that the release of Destroy Erase Improve and songs like Future Breed Machine were so heavy in violent metaphysical entropy they might have actually ripped a hole in the space time continuum, creating portals to infinite multiverses. Could this be the reason for the vast increase in UFO activity since 1995? Ancient Alien theorists say, yes.

Thanks for the comments danke, very much appreciated.

Thanks for the exuberance jamid. I appreciate it.

Thanks Red, I appreciate the kind words.

Hey jay, nope not the Odin, played on a real guitar. But the Odin could certainly do most of this and probably sound better. Its a real amazing virtual guitar vst. I actually have Shreddage and have made a couple of tracks with it but haven't really invested enough time in it to produce to my satisfaction. The guitar vst's have come a long way though and I'm impressed with a lot of what some people are doing with them. My Looperman bro, ValveDriver has several tracks made with virtual guitar and they are amazing. Check him out if you get a chance. The Odin is one of the best Virtual Guitar vst's I have heard for Metal guitar sound and realism with features for articulation, humanization, key switching etc. It does a real convincing job with rhythms but when it comes to soloing I still think its just not there yet.

Thanks a lot for checking it out nln.

Dual Blackouts - Seymour Duncan Humbuckers !

Ha ha , thanks bro.

I have a lot of material that I've recorded just messing around and that I always intend to do something with. Some might get used, most probably wont.

Hey thanks for the listen and comment BLEEP.

Thanks bro. Its always good to get positive feedback from fellow guitarists. Yeah the avatar was a bit of a tribute to Korn. I was hip to that 90's dreadlock look that they had goin on. I went to that avatar when I uploaded my Korn cover track. I have since reverted back to my Invisible man avatar. But I enjoy swapping them out from time to time.

I love all the Love I'm getting on this !
Thanks JC.

"Ahh blues.....gets me everytime."

Ha yeah. Better its the blues and not the Wolfman !
Thanks Mahloo.

Hey thanks so much for the listen and comments, I really appreciate it and glad you liked all the riffage !

Man I'm really jazzed at the new commentors in here, especially new guitar players. Definitely will have to check you guys out!

Yeah bro, the wolfman is pretty GQ when it comes to his threads. And his hair is perfect !

Thanks Bill. Yeah its basically just some variations of the one main riff with a couple of chorus sections. Pretty simple by design really. Chord chasing the solo's and accentuating the plucks and pull offs for some funkiness.

Thanks for the comment NAYAB. Always cool to see some new faces in the comment section. Yeah I watched several of the classic monster movies and wanted the intro to have that sort of feel.

Thanks tv ! Check out the revised ending.

Ahhhhooooo yeah ! Thanks Wayne. You know the most famous werewolf song ever is Warren Zevons "Werewolves of London". A cult classic which he said was a dumb song for smart people. His biggest hit by far and such a clever song. There's been many movies made over the years about werewolves and yet somehow the monster with the deepest history and the most realistic origins is among the least popular. Did you know Lycanthropy is real? Its a rare psychiatric syndrome that involves a delusion that the affected person can transform into a wolf. There are many documented cases that date all the way back to the Bible which refers to King Nebuchadnezzar's behavior in the book of Daniel 4 as being a manifestation of clinical lycanthropy. Crazy huh?

Thanks a lot Rus !!!
