Canyon

With your blood running blackened and your breath forever weakening
Mother, have we hurt you?
Please forgive us and all of our brothers

I have created a Soundcloud account and uploaded it there at a higher bitrate. It is advised that for those of you who, for reasons unfathomable, actually want to listen to this submission in its entirety to do so here (avoid looking at the waveform as it contains secrets+spoilers).

wow, heavy!!

how'd you do this? pretty awesomely sludgey guitars going on here

I'm guessing you've heard Melvins - Lysol and Asva big_smile

Hey Bowles, thanks for actually listening haha! I've heard OF the Melvins but I haven't that particular track/album you've mentioned. I'm guessing I should... and in fact, I will.

So I made this at home, like usual, except for the recording of the guitar. For Skinwalker, Coyote Sun and Canyon all of the guitar was recorded on campus in the University's recording studio. Really nothing spectacular: the in-house, no-brand guitar, the in-house amp (Laney or Peavey or...) and a Rhode NT-3. Record my shit into Pro Tools to either a click track or a pre-made drum beat, don't bother mixing or bouncing just grab the audio files from the session, take them home and do the rest in Ableton. Easy right?...

heart the image, heart the description. Listening to the hbr version in sc now...

DEAD MAN WALKING!!

Pretty Nice!

Thanks Poppi and PWR! Really appreciate it! Hope you guys listened to ALL of it tongue

Nothing goes lower and heavier than a canyon.  Too good!  Like an angry Japanese metal band played at half speed.  I'm a vegetarian but I now have the urge to shoot a cow with a bazooka. smile
