Real rush this week, bit off more than I could chew!! There was a short time in the early 2000s that a few bands tried the mix of black metal and electronic music, where lots of BM bands used keyboards, there was mostly a lean towards traditional orchestral approaches, a couple of bands like Aborym that did the same with the more techno sounds. I don't think I quite got there, but hey, at the very least I got a decent techno drum beat blast!! Did a synth bass instead of tracking bass, and think I did a decent job of blending the kick and snare with the electronic sounds. The arpeggiator at the end was a pain, I really wanted it to get dirtier and distorted as it went along, but was a pain keeping the volume consistent, but the idea is there at least.

Only used one pedal, the MXR Fullbore Metal, another not good high gain pedal, I thought it would do ok for that "bandwidth cut" kind of sound, thinner tone to let the other elements through. But was a struggle, ended up using it only into the FX return of my amp, the only way I could get it to not be the most brittle crusty sound in history. Only stock image today, I was rushing for time.
