Eyes of the Abyss

By dreat on March 8, 2026 3:38 pm

Theme for this week is "if only I had more time, it would be way better".

Still I did record guitar and bass (at half speed), vocals for the second time (even thou "chorus" is 100% out of tune), wrote lyrics that are bit better than last time and recorded wobbly drums.
There was a lot of cutting and pasting around, but it is what it is.

I learned quite a bit this week and I feel this track has potential if done correctly. I also really like how triplet feel works with 5/4.

I'm surprised how it went better and worse than I expected. Still I broke many mental barriers with this one, so even if end result is not that good, I'm really happy with work I've done and things I've learned.

Nice one!
Those stepdowns after 01:10 sound oldschool

I was thinking lately how self-recorded things can sound closer to the old records, without modern standards of overprocessing by doubling one guitar into 16 tracks just because we can, eq'ing each part of the drum kit individually and whatnot.
Wonder if it's something worth holding onto or I'm just finding excuses for my skill issues big_smile

Big and heavy sound. Makes me nostalgic for the old days when I was really into prog metal.

Thanks! Yeah, I guess sometimes less is more. Here I recorded guitar using bass preamp+effect. And I didn't know there are more presets big_smile so it sounds like this bc of my skill issue, but it's not that bad.
