Battleheart - Over The Seas!

[-Gavin-]

As per my thread in off topic, major thanks go to Lasse, Glenn and GuitarHack!


Recorded at my "studio", guitars/bass reamped at to above folk's places
Mixed at my "studio".
Mastered at Lasse's place!


This is a promo track requested of us with like a week's notice by quite a big fucking label and everyone that helped out, helped out more than they can imagine and are true bros!



And the gear used:

I don't know if you want comments, but if you want them:

- guitars are too loud
- vocals are not loud enough

And that is coming from a guitar player

Our singer isn't really a singer (on the original Cd we flipped a coin as to who did vox)...

Iäm used to trying to bury his vox...


That said, people seem to love his voice on this so might not be nessiscary in future

 

[-Gavin-]

Oh and any feedback is welcome! Just it won't be changed cause this is the 100% final version.

But any advice for if/when we do the album would be nice!

Nice song !
My ears like it more with a little bit different spectrum (less mids and more of everything else) and some subtle reverb - there can be no power metal without reverb IMHO hehehe.

Reminds me of Running Wild

wow, it sounds really good. great guitar tone, everything sounds good. The vocals could be more upfront though.

any details on the drums and guitars?

 

[GuitarHack]

It turned out nice Gav. Guitars are a bit loud, but I don't mind that at all.
Well done and good luck with it.

Guitars were 2 tracks of Krank Revo and 2 of 5150. The krank was about 2-3db louder..


Nothing special in terms of processing:

Drums were an alesis dm5 v-kit into DKFH superior...

 

[Nebulous]

Haha. Oh yeah!
Love it. It's like Nightwish and CoB getting together to do the soundtrack to a drunken version of Pirates of the Loch haha!

 

[CJWall]

i love the song, haha! guitars sound siiick as well.

as far as how it sounds, guitars too loud, vocals to small and dry, and drums are a bit buried for my tastes.

sweet ass song though!

 

[BlackUtopia]

Fuckin' killer. Nice work bro, those guitars sound insane!

I remember the original demo version of the this, and you've come along way. Looking forward to the album now... and some gigs!

 

[AudioPhile777]

SOUNDS GRRRRRREAT!

 

[-Gavin-]

thanks guys!

Way too scooped.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Gav, I'd say the guitars are kinda loud. Even though it's Pirate Metal, it's still all about the vocals.... so let's hear 'em. You're thrashing away, but it's a singalong kinda song. Love that "HEY!" btw. Very Celtic.
More drums & bass too (ok, ulterior motive for the last one )


Just remember your buds when you're touring Ozzfest & making millions. Personally, I'm hoping for backstage passes & lapdancers.
