Nebulous Peril - Dissenter
By george bowles on August 4, 2012 12:28 am
wanted to concentrate on some other stuff besides the sitari - botanimal album for the next few weeks. I'm a little worried that I won't get to finish the Nebulous Peril album since I might move and not have access to Marshall stacks, etc for a bit.
I bought a double bass pedal in the hopes that I might be able to do more of a technical death metal thing, but the learning curve is much steeper than I thought it would be. I think I can still do faster blast beats with one foot than two (a la rich hoake of brutal truth). Anyway, since I'm not all that good of a drummer, I decided to bite the bullet and try to do some in depth drum programming, well as in depth as a less than three minute song would allow without being too ridiculous.
also wanted to do something a little more crazy time signature wise for this project. what I found out is that it is not very easy to play guitar along with a robot on drums playing 7/12. since I have limited time this week moreso than usual, I had to go with these takes on guitar. not super bad, but a little bit sloppy. by mixing it a certain way I was able to make it sound a little better in that regard.
the thing didn't fully come together until I put the vocals on... then it made a lot more sense in my head. another thing with time constraints... couldn't do a bunch of vocal takes. going to be out of town all weekend. so with all those disclaimers and whatnot out of the way, turn it up and rock out!!! pure metal fury.
