First song of 2024! Happy to be getting back into this!

The following is just a list of observations:
That's a nice effect on the guitar, really nice bass on 1:07, nice harmonies, very opethy, great mixing. Them dissonant chords, a transition must be coming. Nice use of space. BIG CHORDS. little chords. harmonized guitar melodies.

Welcome back to weeklybeats! This is one of those tracks that makes you turn your speakers up. The section that starts around 1:40 kills, especially when the harmonies come in around 2:00 and it just starts smacking you in the face. Wow, twists and turns. You could have stopped at 4 min, but instead you went for an epic outro. Great work here. You've set the bar high.

Keep it up!

Very nice guitar work, I like the variety of vibes!  Looking forward to more. 

this has some depth! really like the way you've moved thru so many different styles

What a week one epic! Love the leads, great melodies. I dig the transitions too.

magical chord progressions: they sit just right in feel, but turn unexpectedly at all the right times. excellent soloing as well heart

This one made my ears perk up! Definite "climbing to the mountaintop to stand with the all-seeing wise man and yell into the storm together" vibes.

Wow, epic start, love all the guitar variations and transitions, this got me pumped up!

Great to have you back. You brought some tasty guitar to the party.

Love the overall tone and sound of the guitars.  Crunchiness and stereo chorused thickness.  Gave me some soundgarden vibes a bit.  Excellent licks at the 1:50 mark especially when the harmonies kick in.  Ohhh the solo guitar even better and makes me wanna air guitar since I sadly can not gee-tar. smile  Really good groove of a track throughout.

this is a great closer for the 11 track SG album i listened to in reverse order smile

GREAT GREAT job so far this year!  thank you for all of your shredding and epic arrangements and awesome mixing skills!

Thanks! I was really happy with the bass on this one. I think it was one of the first times I felt like I really used a bass like more of a bass player.

Thank you! I actually wasn't sure that I was going to use all this stuff in one song, but I had a few different ideas that I liked and I didn't feel like throwing any of it out, so I had worked pretty hard to find transitions so that I could keep it all together.

Thank you! I did try some more exotic chord progressions that what I might usually go for, and I'm glad it seems like it worked out ok.
