I love the arpeggio interlude. There's a lot of building tension to that particular section of the track, and the way the guitars lead back into the main riff is sick.

This is great! haha. The gif is a great addition. The intense guitars are great. Is that amp sim or mic. recorded amps?

I struggled with that transition and trying to go from the main riff to the break. You can hear a few samples (thunder, car speeding away) trying to hide the ugly lack of transition. But then after a lot of tries and errors, i decided to go with a good old synthwave arp. That always helps.

Thank you! The guitars are all recorded direct and I used Bias FX 2 to apply effects. The main riff has two different guitar tracks that play different variations of the same riff and have different effects to them to try to have a good balance of snarliness (is that a word?).

Awesome intro, that take you right into the story and scene, and then wow this just kicks ass, pedal to the floor! Gif fits this great. Guitar huge and solid, drums get things pumping perfectly. Agree, that arp interlude is killer, a new dimension. Fun one!

Fuck yes. New dimension with that interlude. I like how raw the guitars sound. Gives it the grungy-ness the song needs.

The car sounds are awesome.  It took me a second to realize I was looking at a gif and not watching a video with sound.  Then the guitars are just loud and nasty in the best possible way.  This rocks hard.  The synth sounds that come in are a nice touch also.  They add some nice unexpected textures.

Lol the gif and the intro made me feel like I was watching a movie this was the soundtrack for! I especially like the riffs toward the middle and onward once all the guitars are locked in and rocking, then they roll out perfectly for the synth. The bassline fits great. Nice job. Would fit great in an album I'd listen to.

Everything is megacool here. The gif, the guitars, the drumbeat, the synth, THE ENDING!!!!!. WOW.
I propose, we could call it metal-grunge-surf music.

Fantastic energy in this, the transitions tell an exciting story here.

This is really cool, definitely intense car chase energy here. The pace is fast and relentless, I especially liked how you were able to incorporate dynamics like the interlude at 2:20 playing at a lower volume but the drums are still maintaining that driving energy like the chase is still going. It's actually a really cool compositional technique.

Thank you! I find that splice is such a treasure when it comes to random samples. I used profusely the "Auto and vehicles" sample pack there, between doors opening, doors closing, car passing, etc.

Thank you. It's the first time I am able to make guitars sound decent on a recording. Mix skils are slowly improving.

Thank you for listening!

Thank you! When in doubt, go for synthwave arp.

Thank you, I really appreciate the comment.

Yep, driving safely is important.
Metal-grunge-surf music, that works!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I think we all probably have a similar experience but when working on these weekly beats, there are a lot of different ideas popping up but some of them act more like a catalyst. They help redirect the track into a new direction even though in the end we may remove that specific idea, it's not in the final track except as a shadow mark as it helped lead the track there. So a lot of trials and errors and cloning/changing arrangements in FL studio has been helpful editing things out/back in and exploring weird tangents.

I really appreciate weekly beats to have the ability to go down the rabbit hole and do random tracks without complex, to learn and have fun. This has been a great experience.
