nothing but guitars and bass. Lot's of behind-the-bridge playing for droning layers, quite a lot of Secret Destroyer usage :) Would be much better with a live drummer in an actual band settings, because then, the drums coudl be much more organic, now they are just programmed

drown in sound, boys :cool:

this might very well be a teaser for an upcoming EP of mine :idk: we'll see

btw this track has so many guitar tracks and so many Secret Destroyer usage it's ridiculous

This is really good.
The drums are great, too.

I must say I will probably tweak the drum sound a bit, because i'm simply not really happy with the kick sound... still - thanks for the kind words :)

This is awesome. Makes me think of Tunnel Blanket a good bit, which is definitely a good thing.

I actually like your drum programming a lot. Agree with tweaking the kick a bit, however. It could stand more thud and less click imo.

But yeah, I love the track. Excellent work!

Co-sign the idea that a real drummer would play it a lot more organically.

On the other hand, this is pretty tasty stuff. Reminds me of porcupine tree.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! And D.O.S - nice guess, Porcupine Tree is one of my main influences...

anyway... screw it, here it is :)

A bit different this time... at times at least. A bit different influences, both musical and emotional. Enjoy, listen, download for free or feel free to donate :) just enjoy!

Bump for sheer sonic excellence.

Peeps should get on this. No joke.

Thanks! On bass? that was my Digitech PDS 20/20 doing some flanging into my Elements :) loved the flanger, but I felt I needed to move on, so I traded it for the Tremolessence...

both pedals have been used during the recording of this

i'd be more than happy to discuss any sounds on the EP since that's a huge passion of mine obviously :)

This is fantastic stuff! Kind of like a harder, more angular Paik. Love it.

Really digging it.
