Heavy grooves, a long time work in progress, nearly finished!

[Mattayus]

Hey gentlepeeps.

Been working on this track a loooong time, but had a massive break from it due to writers block, which seems to have lifted somewhat.

It still isn't finished but it's getting there!

It's grooveyh babyh yeah!

Really liking the mix, guitars sound very heavy and tight.

 

[AeternusEternus]

My kind of shit. No way to classify it but heavy. Weighs a megaton.

 

[drope934]

Love the bassy freq on this one, I can feel it inside my belly but it sounds natural, really really nice! Every thing is clear.

 

[xAfterTheBurial]

sounds freaking amazing man, if you don't mind me asking, whats your guitar chain look like?

 

[nishthefish]

Revalver??

 

[Mattayus]

Thanks dudes, glad it's going down well! This is one of my new favourites, it has to be said

Revalver??

This.

6505 through catharsis pres8 on the left, JSX preamp through 6505 poweramp through pres8 on the right. All going to a group track with "the" C4 preset and a hi/lo-pass. All played on my M-307 w/ EMG 81-7 & 60-7

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

Sounds very groovy, solid and airy! Amazing job, feeling the grin on your face doing this. Nice.

 

[Icony]

Lovely groove. Indeed brutal sir! Great and wonderfully bassy mix too. Makes it heavy as hell.

 

[Humidfume]

Sounds sick man Really sick.

 

[Mattayus]

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get it finished now! Already kind'a got it written but I just need to work it out then record it

 

[ratsapprentice]

Awesome, what kind of vocals are you wanting on this? (assuming there are going to be any?)

 

[Mattayus]

Yeah we're still looking for a vocalist. We've had a few try-outs but nobody fit the bill yet. In terms of what we're looking for - we still don't really know. It's a case of knowing it when we hear it I guess. I personally am sick of screaming, so I don't particularly want a screamer. If the other guys want to try one out though then that's fine by me, I'd be swayed if it was something special, but I'm trying to stay away from anything even remotely generic and metalcore

 

[Harry Hughes]

Sick tune bro, damn!
Can always rely on you to bring the groove without resorting to 'djent djent djent'
It's a little thin sounding perhaps, but otherwise really not bad at all.
You get the best Revalver high gain tones I've heard anywhere on the internet, that's for sure.
Personally I think it would sound a big nicer if you darkened the guitars ever so slightly in the high and upper mids (just enough for it to be noticeable), but otherwise the fundamental tone is great.

Damnit let us download this

so glad to hear that. so many metal songs out there that start out great with killer drums, tones and riffage, and then some asshole starts screaming... uke:

 

[ratsapprentice]

Covan style vocals would sound great over this I think, but it's rare to find someone that is actually good at screaming.

 

[Mattayus]

I know, that's why I'd rather not search A good singer would be easier to grab I think

 

[Triscore]

Mattayus!!!

Sounds +10 for me!! amazing tone

 

[XxSicRokerxX]

how did you make it so bassy? bass guitar? vst bass plugin? pitch-shifted guitar?
