At the end of WB 2016 I said I didn't think I could do it again, but when I heard WB 2018 was a thing I felt a spark of inspiration and drive to create that I haven't felt throughout 2017 so here I am!
Back with a bag of new tricks including an 8-String guitar and Reason now having VST / Plug-In support it's going to be a fun and experimental year!
This tune kicks off with a very KoRn riff I came up with a week ago and then leads into some more Celldweller / Circle of Dust styled stuff. The overall theme in mind is a CyberPunk futuristic setting after watching both Blade Runners last weekend lol.
I didn't have time to touch up my guitar timing so it's just literally recorded and the best takes chosen etc.
Sneaky little BPM shift at the end too!
I wanted to try and get some vocals down which is going to be a big focus for me this time around, I got a few little growls and that was it for Week 1 though lol total production time of about 3 hours! I personally love the riff that kicks in with the octave slide, something that was inspired by Rip & Tear from DOOM by Mick Gordon.
