Wrote/recorded this in ~2 hours or so while my son was napping. Nothing fancy but still pretty happy with the result.

very cool, had a good'n'heavy flow

Nice tune, love when the drums cut out abruptly.  Good stuff bud

Love the rich tones, rusty and dusty atmos, dark melodies... great stuff

Real guitar? Tasty!

Always real guitar! I heard this slow roto pedal and had to use it. Fit too well.

Wow, fantastic evolution and CRUCIAL buildup at the end!  Serious chill into serious headbanger.  Fantastic metal mix.

The beginning is beatyfull with that slow melodie... lean back and enjoy big_smile
Waiting for the headbanger part...
Yeah... nice change... searious headbanger. wow!

So relaxing, especially that ending.

I wanted someone to be able to sit on their front porch and relax with some iced tea while staring into the sunset to the ending of this song.

The comments spoiled the surprise that this would build into massive headbanger, but it was still worth it. YEAH! Love how that builds, good payoff. Great guitar work!

ahhh love those little drum teasers before the huge ending. knew it was eventually gonna come just didnt know when and so satisfying when it did

Thanks! I think the tease is my favorite part haha. Was nice to change it up instead of going full on into the heavy section.

I really like this track! Excellent slow and very beautiful first part which evolves into more heavy driven part!
