Quick and Frosty

By Nyarlos on August 21, 2022 10:18 pm

Barely made it, busy week, so just a quick sad black metal tune. Only thing of note here was I tried to add a texture layer to the rhythm guitars, laying higher note lines over the main chord, but seeing as barely had time to mix I think it wasn't textural enough, but thems the breaks.

Pedals:
BYO Klon: My second Klon style pedal, its worse than the first one, Im glad I'm not into Klons, so I'm not tempted by many thousand dollars for a damn overdrive lol
Bias FX Distortion: Bias FX's second hardware pedal, and without an iPad to connect with the thing is a bit useless honestly, we see why the hardware side of the company failed. Hard to get a non scratchy tone, even with the app working on the inside parameters.

Your sad black metal not so sad... making me happy smile Nice layers of guitar arps. I cannot count the bpm at 1:30 ha ha! Nice breaks and variations.

dig the screaming guitar tone in the double-pedal-kick sections.  wall of sound with just the right amount of the chords/melody coming through

A refreshing cup of melancholic metal in the morning

Brutal riffs as always mate. Loving how wide the intro sounds. 4:06 kicks in heavy af.

Beautiful crystal guitars before jumping into hardcore black metal riffs. The track sounds like the perfect High Intensity Interval Training for drummers (the type of training where one does super intensive effort and then rest a little and then rinse and repeat). I wonder if a human drummer could actually sustain that with the double kick?

I empathize with the risk of Gear Acquisition Syndrome and pedals!
