This Scourge Can Be Wiped Out

Very little time for music this week, what with traveling for Thanksgiving (and not really liking anything I made en route). Over the week I was revisiting a few of my favorite industrial albums, Greater Wrong of the Right and Downward Spiral. This track arose out of trying to duplicate some of the sounds in I'mmortal (and failing LOL). But, it led me to the sound I got here. Ended up with a heavy Ministry feel. And since Uncle Al is retiring, someone's gotta pick up the slack with angry political-esque music
Tons of guitar layering in this. Mix isn't the best, and my chorus doesn't hit as hard as I'd like, but that's what comes from doing a song in a few hours (started Saturday night, finished Sunday morning). The guitar "solo" at the end was just sorta strangling the guitar (and breaking a string in the process). Oh well, keep playing. Which of course meant that I HAD to keep that take
Biggest fun was accidentally deleting my sample track, and then working for another hour or so. In the process, I got to learn that Logic has an amazing project import function that allows you to specify down to the track of what you'd like to import - rolled back my Undo list to where the tracks existed and saved a version, then rolled back to current and saved. Imported the tracks from the other version. Done.
The track pretty much built around the sample, which is from Reefer Madness (public domain). I thought it had a great legalistic mob rule feel, and everything grew from there.
