New song! Dark/contemplative/sinister content!
« on: May 13, 2011, 02:31:09 PM »
Hi all,
I haven't really been around for a while because of school, but lately I've been in a slightly forlorn humor, so I wrote this song as a release. It's kind of like the lovechild of Dream Theater's Space-Dye Vest and Dillinger Escape Plan's Dead as History. Let me know what you think about the composition/production/mixing/mastering!
It's called "Captive My Thoughts." Thanks for listening!

I like it. It's a good composition, and the mixing/mastering sounds quite professional, too. It could be a soundtrack for something like the Saw movies  ;)

This is awesome.  Great job with the dark atmosphere and the sinister distorted guitars too.  Also, the electronic beats were really cool.  All-around fantastic work on this song.

Awesome, totally awesome. Mind if I ask which vst you used for the electronic drums and the glitchy stuff?

Thank you! I used Reason 4 for the keys and percussion and Toontrack Metal Foundry for the drums.

Seriously.  It's really good!  I love the way it builds. 
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep just like my grandfather, and not like the screaming passengers in his car!
