Description : I asked Danke if I could add some vocals to his track Future Machine and he kindly agreed and sent me the track. The lyrics are about a soldiers experience in war as he and his trench mates are told to get up and out of their trench and attack the enemy across open fields. I can only imagine the fear, tension and chaos that goes through one's mind at that moment.

Description : I discovered Meshuggah around 2003 and was blown away by the power, complexity and super Heavy sound of their music. Their "Nothing" album marked the switch to 8 string guitars and pushed Heavy Metal into a whole new territory. My track is a variant cover of their song "Nebulous". I have stayed pretty close to the original but added a few dynamic elements of my own. Its loud, its super heavy and way out there...Beyond Nebulous.

Description : This unconventional metal track is dedicated to Valvedriver https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/841435 though it's not a parody of his fine music or me actively trying to sound like it. I struggled for months with the first few minutes of this track knowing that I must be able to take it somewhere deeper, more psychedelic and powerful. Then I loaded some sampled choir voice instruments, as used in my track Reckful https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160356 and suddenly found myself happily in Valveland - not a place I visit often. Feeling amply Valvedriven and newly inspired, I added the last few minutes fairly easily and very quickly. So: it's a twisting, turning mixture of grunge, menacing ambient, mystical metal and ultra-heavy funk. Instruments: electric guitar+bass, synth basses, female choir voices, one synth pad, some other synths on the nastier side of things and a few programmed heavy acoustic drumkits playing a mixture of triplets and straighter grooves. Interesting thoughts appreciated. Favourite bits? Shit bits? Please listen on good headphones/speakers as there's a lot of heavy bass in this. Now get ready to rock: balls out, hands in the air and with rebellious joy in your heart. Just try not to headbang the hell out of your laptop. Go!

Unfortunately I've had to put my solo work on hold for a bit while I'm recording with the band. We are being professionally recorded now, a very big step up from the last recording of my band that I posted here. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! We are, Raze The Pyre.

Seeing your comments on other tracks has led me to believe that tact is undeniably not your strong suit. Therefore, I take your feedback with a grain. Although I appreciate what you're attempting to say, I can't help but wonder if you have a severe lack of understanding of what Heavy Metal is, and what it's mostly comprised of.
It seems to me that if you find drums beyond four on the floor to be distracting, then perhaps you should avoid any Metal tracks in the future. Otherwise, you're inviting inevitable frustration and disappointment into your life.
None the less, I appreciate your feedback, however misguided it may be.
Take care.
V.
Simply awesome bro.

This is so cool.
the building up is great.
And i love the parts when its chill and then you start with the real thing.

I don't think metal is something I'm capable of not listening to for any extended time. I've been a metalhead since the cold war. The adults back then always said "It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it.". Nope. Never did.
As far as how long it took, a total working time of 19 hours and some change. I think at least a good third of that time was just getting the mix balanced.
Anyhow, thanks again. I appreciate it.
Take care.

it did sound awesome on my stereo as well by the way, cheers!
just listened to this on headphones while having my hedonistic coffee & jazz cigarette 'breakfast'. still haven't slept sadly but there's no going back at this time now.
holy moly, that was an intense trip indeed. clean and well-balanced yet energetic sound. outstanding mix which i think made it even more engaging.
i enjoy slow build-ups, so i never wished it would progress quicker. through the headphones i noticed how every sound has its own space and similar frequencies of different sounds don't get in the way of each other.
man, the low-end sounds nuts on my headphones. did you use a high-pass on the instrument buses besides bass and drums, i presume?
the bass felt mighty and went straight into my skull and bones. impressive energy when it takes off shortly before the 3 min mark.
I do the same thing with the drums. Each piece has it's own mixer track where they are EQ'd and then sent to the bus. Same process as the guitars. After they all go to the master I just boost the levels and if I need to, I use a compressor, a little saturation and a limiter. I think the mixing and tweaking take longer than building the track itself. Which is fine, that's the part I enjoy the most.
when you layer those distorted instruments that have been recorded, do you have to pay attention to the phase and manually nudge waveforms depending on their phase offset or is that obsolete these days in FL?
listen, i am by no means a connoisseur when it comes to this kind of mixing and mastering plus i haven't slept in a while. still, to me that sounds ready to go.
that was a blast! going to listen on speakers next to compare.
I really appreciate you taking to time to listen, and to comment so thoroughly. I hope I was able to adequately answer your questions.
Let me know how it sounded on the speakers. I have to admit, I was a little lazy with this one as far as checking against all my different systems. So, some levels may be a little too much, or too little.
Thank you for taking the time, man. I do appreciate it.
Take care.
V.
As far as what I used, I'm assuming you mean software for the guitars, etc.
For the guitars I used Shreddage II and III. For the bass guitar I used Native Instruments Rickenbacker. The amp sims are from Line 6's Pod Farm 2. The synth effect in the intro, outro, and scattered in a few places here and there I made using Sylenth1. The drums are Easy Drummer metal kit.
I hope that answers your question.
Take care.
V.
I think I know what you mean about the vocals. If what I'm imagining what you're trying to convey, that would sound good. Kind of like singing through a megaphone sound?
Contrary to my last tracks message, I've been toying with the idea of feeding my voice into one of those AI voice things to lay down on some of my tracks. It's just a matter of finding a good one that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg in subscription fees, or free ones that don't absolutely suck. We'll see I guess.
Take care, Steve.

I'm honored to know that you like my work enough to deem it as some of your favorites here. That in itself is encouraging. So, thank you for that!
If you do find that CD, you'll have to upload some. I'd love to hear it.
Thanks again, man. I appreciate it.

First, thank you. I'm glad you liked it. It's a little different from most of my stuff.
It's funny you mentioned Tool, (it is a compliment, btw.), I've always liked them, but I never thought, "I want to sound like that." It just kind of happened. I suppose after 30 something years of listening to a band, it's going to filter in at some point, huh?
Thanks again, man. I truly appreciate it!
Take care.

Good to see you, my friend.
Aaron
I'm happy to hear that the drums and bass were good. Those were always parts I had trouble getting more creative with. Especially the drums. The bass does have the "One of These Days" sound to it. It wasn't intentional, but when Pink Floyd is sustenance beyond music, that's gonna happen.
The guitar is all Shreddage 2 & 3. The bass is NI's Rickenbacker. Our Mr. Cunningham once said, years ago, in a comment somewhere that VST gutiars are good for accents, or back up, but they can't be used as the main instrument. To a degree, he's absolutely correct. But, none the less, I took that as a challenge! That, and my Warlock has some wiring issues that leave it unplayable at the moment.
Thank you for listening, man. I always greatly appreciate your opinion and feedback.
Take care, brother.
Aaron
This track put a smile on my face quickly with just those first few notes sounding a tad similar to Pink Floyds "One of These Days" from the Meddle album. Of course this track takes a distinctly different path. It became immediately apparent that the bass line was going to play an important role and here again Pink Floyd-esque. This build up section is not only notable but so very integral to the overall track. Such tasty heavy rhythm ensues as it progresses into the groove, you've really polished your chops and changeups. Love the wah usage! Not enough space here but, Thx Aaron, U made my day bro!
On magic music maker before i start on fl studio lol.
Yess i like this style.
1 time i didd make something like this om magig music maker before i start on Lm.
It is a cool track but it where loops so i cant be proud on it.
You can be proud!!!
Im on my phone so i cant see the minutes.
But that guitar in the end is so cool.
Intro and outro also.
Good work Aaron.
That's the cool thing about FL studio, you can easily make your own loops, and then use them as needed, or tweak them individually. By the time I'm done with one of these metal songs, my playlist looks like somebody had a confetti party all over it with all the little notes, and drum hits, and this-n-thats in the loops.
Thank you again, Rita.
Take care.
Aaron
I'm glad you liked the song even though it's not exactly your preferred genre. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it, brother. As always, I appreciate the comment as well.
Take care.
