02.11.14 | The guitars are mixed better this time round, still pretty rough but decent.

Will sound soooo much better when the vocals are tracked! |
Mort.
02.11.14 | pretty sick again pleb nice one
|
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Thanks a lot dude! Do you think it sounds a tad different? Was stoked when we got this down tbh.
Just need to add vocals with Mike tomorrow, then everything will be in place a bit more. |
climactic
02.11.14 | hearing lots of dismember in this, sweet. nice work again m/ |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Thanks clim! Yeah we wanted a bit more of a DM edge to this one. |
climactic
02.11.14 | so are these recordings working towards a demo or an ep or an album or what? |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | An EP dude, hopefully get 3/4 tracks done and mixed with vocals before April or something.
We are a bit confused as to what we are going for and I'm not really familiar with music theory whereas my buddy is, so we do things in a different manner haha. |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Took us like an hour and a half to come up with this haha, time really does fly jamming. |
climactic
02.11.14 | cool. with this kind of music, music theory is just a good extra thing to know, not necessary at all.. as long as it sounds good thats all that matters |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Yeah. I'm do more of like 'oh this riff would sound sweet here' or 'you could palm mute that', don't really know how to read music that far in depth. |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | 'Deeper
Falling
Into depths of damnation
Grabbing
Clawing
Face to face with ruination
Never to be found
Your body rots
Pits of fire
Soon surround'
They are the lyrics we have so far haha, no lyrics on the chorus as of yet. |
climactic
02.11.14 | metal as fuck |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Haha well they are easy to write!
The chorus is more melo tho so will prob change the lyrics up for that segment. |
Ryus
02.11.14 | Damn, that's pretty sick, the last 20 seconds kinda remind me of Carcass (in a good way). Just a suggestion, would love to
hear the drums higher in the mix. |
wacknizzle
02.11.14 | Sounds awesome James, that chuggy part in the middle reminded me of pig destroyer a bit which is sweet |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Haha is that an exaggeration? Just the drums are computerised and sounding p loud in my headset. |
Ryus
02.11.14 | No hahah I was being serious, they sound pretty quiet to me. Oh well |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Ah I have a bass booster on my machine, that'll be why. Will amend and mix the vocals in tomorrow, been a long day today.
@wack Thank you! Really? Sweet I guess :D |
climactic
02.11.14 | the thing with mixing is, the mix is gonna sound different on different mediums (headphones, car speakers, earbuds, monitors, computer speakers etc) and its about finding the perfect medium |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Yeah true, hence why when you sit down and do 'the final mix' it takes time.
Unless you wanna brickwall it, of course. |
YakNips
02.11.14 | This inspired me to go play guitar and I broke another one of my strings. I only have 3 left m/ |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Mixing vox is a pain ugh, too much hassle haha.
@Yak Dunno if that's a good thing but m/ |
YakNips
02.11.14 | Bro breaking guitar strings is a sign of trve hardcore |
climactic
02.11.14 | but youre supposed to restring it after lol |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Well good but your strings :/ |
RunOfTheMill
02.11.14 | Sweet, good riffage here |
tommygun
02.11.14 | m/ |
BigPleb
02.11.14 | Thanks Run and tommy m/ |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | lol @ my incantation list. |
joshieboy
02.12.14 | m/ Nice man. Solid. |
tempest--
02.12.14 | sounds pretty cool man but it needs vox HARd |
Nocturnal
02.12.14 | Sounds like what a 12 year old would write after hearing children of bodom for the first time. |
Pennywise_M
02.12.14 | That part on 1:13 is awesome! Impetuous DM done well. But man lemme tell you, i went on listening to your Exhumation track and that one got me the hardest. Again, great DM done right, main riff is catchy, there's one blast around the half of the song that kicks my ass, well structured song overall. On both songs it was apparent that you guys know what you're doing on the guitars as well, just gotta love the harmonization on the tremolo riff by the end of the Exhumation. Well done.
Still wishing i'd get my hands on those old hardcore'ish tracks you did vocals on. Those fucking ruled |
Pennywise_M
02.12.14 | Also, don't know what you're going for on the vocal department, nor i wanna go douche on you and try to tell you what to do. Just letting my thoughts into here really, there's some awesome space for some high pitch stuff in there, Black Dahlia Murder style. Will wait for a version with vocals! gl mate |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Thanks dude! Nice in depth feedback there!
Yeah, the vocals are not really in that vein. I can't really work within the high pitched register as my voice gets way too raspy. More in a mid-low range in the vain of Chuck, but slightly lower. |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Thanks demi! Its kinda hard for my friend to do these kinda riffs, he only started playing this style when I introduced him to Death, Dark Tranquility, TBDM etc haha. |
NightProwler
02.12.14 | Will check later when I get home :] |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Cool :D
How did the hosp go dude? |
NightProwler
02.12.14 | It went OK, but they couldn't find the source of the outbreak where they were looking, so I have to go back by the start of March (which is a rather long wait, I'd say) for another check in a different area. Thanks for asking :] |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Well if there was something wrong they would've kept you in, so I supposed its a positive sign! :] |
NightProwler
02.12.14 | I like that optimism, but unfortunately, no. It means they couldn't find anything "in the lower part of my bowels", ergo it must be further up where they couldn't see during this procedure. BUT if they don't find anything by the next one, it means I only have to change my medication (hopefully), so that'd be the best outcome :] |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Yeah well they would've given you an earlier date if they suspected something serious! Good luck anyway dude, sure it'll pass through medication etc :] |
NightProwler
02.12.14 | Thanks man! :] |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | No worries :] |
NeroCorleone80
02.12.14 | Nice m/ |

02.12.14 | Thanks Nero :] |

02.12.14 | "Its kinda hard for my friend to do these kinda riffs, he only started playing this style when I introduced him to Death, Dark Tranquility, TBDM etc haha."
I really did feel some TBDM there x) m/ |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Yeah haha, he and I love them melo trems :p |
Gwyn.
02.12.14 | good shit |
BigPleb
02.12.14 | Its not really plug worthy yet fti aha, but thanks :] |
NightProwler
02.12.14 | Damn dude, when that riff after the first drum-break (or what it's called) hits, I find myself totally air-guitaring to this, then that melodic guitar. Damn sweet! |
Pennywise_M
02.13.14 | Pleb's got talent, seen that a while back. Waiting for a first official release in whichever project you make james |
