TOKERU

This is the first track where I tried to collaborate with my brother, paperthinphil. I was slacking all week, and put most of it together this weekend after giving my brother a very tiny stem to base his guitars on. In the end I tried going for a bit of a Godflesh vibe, and added some additional vocals on top. Its a bit of a mess, but a first stab at collaborating, so I'm fairly happy given the short time we put into it. Any critique/feedback is welcome!
All the guitars are performed by paperthinphil on a Jackson Dinky JS22 and recorded on a Line 6 PodGo. All other sounds were made on the M8, and the track was built+arranged on the M8. The vocals are my own attempt at whispering and screaming, all recorded and slightly modified in reaper after rendering all the other stems on the M8.
The track name, TOKERU, is a Japanese word that means to be solved, or to loosen; but when talking about ice and snow it means to melt. All the lyrics to the track are just the word "melt."
