Tracked a rough scratch track for a new work in progress song so my drummer could practice it

Figured I might as well post it up since I don’t open the ol DAW much. But then I thought it sounded boring without drums so I entered into my personal hell trying to put together shit in 7 from grooves in the demo version of ssd5. They’re whack as hell and kind of gave up

Cleans sound ok but the distorted “Djent” part at the end sounds kinda bad

Your music is always very well written and interesting, man. I love how the parts interlace together and build up. It all sounds good to me. The heavy part sounds more like stoner/doom than djent. Kind of a fuzzed out tone. Which honestly, I like better than djent tone.

Thanks Billy, appreciate the kind words!


stoner/doom is definitely a huge influence on me, ironically the stupid reason I sold my first Mark V years ago because I didn't think it had enough doom cred

Listening back this morning with fresh ears I don't dislike it as much. I'm using the poly capo in the hx one on that part to drop a full octave to sort of simulate a down tuned 8 string. I guess that plus the odd time and syncopation is where I got djent from

This sounds bad ass. I agree with Billy, your band is really interesting and the music is upbeat and energetic. Cool stuff bro!

Sounds great.

Thanks Dave! This band has definitely been a reel fun ride so far and just getting started

Sounds sweet, I dig it. Makes me think of some maybe of Elder's more recent stuff? Or something in that vein although more clean tones.

Thanks dude!

Hmm I guess I should check out some new elder stuff. I used to rock the first album or 2 a lot back in the day, but those albums basically sounded like a Sleep spin off I’ve heard their style kind of changed though, and I’ve been meaning to get back in the loop there
