New Song! Chopped up from an old song!

Post by Endtime »

So I wrote this song awhile ago. For my "thrash band". But the singers became a weirdo fuck and to saying I won't still write for it, but Im doing my more Death metal, oldest nband of mine, World of Shit.. Which I always described as Death/Thrash.. Anyway, I always liked this song and it sorta skirted the line of thrash or death.. The arrangement and the excess of skank beats made it "thrash".. But in WoS I try to be more concise. I try anyway.. lol I often still overwrite.. but I was totally digging this guitar tone, I can't even remember what I used.. Im sure it was the 5153 and I did make note I used the Lewitt mic.. So IM gone have to figure the speaker ad chain out again cause for E flat, this is as bad ass as Ive gotten..

So the point is I literally just chopped it up and copy/paste a totally new song and arrangement.. I will 90% go back and re-record it live to get a little more of that feel back.. But Ive used this process for songwriting plenty before. Maybe not THIS extensive.. But at times I like this sorta song this gives at times.. Anyway.. working title since it ws the old vocalist's title.. But it went from 5 min to 3... And I will add a solo here and there..

This is literally what the Logic project window looks like now .. Simce I’m a stickler for honest takes, all the instruments were just one or 2 punches max. And all those midi files are old drums, beats I kinda liked and didn’t use or who knows. Got a little confusing but its fairly coherent I think

That is so badass. Definitely the epitome of Death/Thrash. Gives me Solstice and Raped Ape vibes.

It isn't Engorged, but it ain't bad either. Just throw some horror movie snippets in and some punk leaning death metal vocals and you're about 9/10ths there.

Thanks! Depends on when you listened I just updated the clip within the last hour. To a version with the new guitars. Which I obviously tried to retain the tone but I honestly think I had switched speakers between cabs. So it’s almost impossible to nail it. I did have it labeled with the Lewitt 440 mic which I haven’t used by itself much. But it’s a cool mic for sure. So I used that. I ended up with 2 tracks of the 5153 red channel straight in. With an Evh guitar and Wolfgang pickups. Then I used a center track with the boosted 6505. Same speakers and mic. It’s still got a lot of the balls I liked in the original clip. And even tho I added some blast beats it still feels pretty thrashy to me. I go h is fine WoS can have a thrash tune! Lol

Thanks dudes! After having Sit on it for a few days and under different states of mind. Lol. I’m happy with this version too. The original was way more in depth and a little more twists and turns, but there’s always something to be said for sumthin a little simpler. I think if we get a vocal “chorus” that is catchy then it will work exactly how I want it.
