New album! 8-string, clean melodic vocals, groove...

[guitarjon]

My new project 'The Jon Symons Project' just released it's full debut album.
The whole album features my Ibanez M80M guitar (8-string) and my Fender Telecaster for the solos.
Listen to it on soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/thejonsymonsproject/sets/full-length-album-escape-the-hollow

Or get it on Bandcamp (and receive the full album's instrumental mixes + additional bonus track as an extra!):
https://thejonsymonsproject.bandcamp.com/album/escape-the-hollow

I used a LOT of Steve Slate plugins for the mixes (VCC, VTM, VBC and FX-G) because I love what they do!
Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy!

Liked the song much!
Think that the guitars are way too bright comparing to the rest instruments and the vox (which makes some disbalance in the mix, 'cause they kinda shadow the rest of the elements).

BTW, which tracks/buses have you used the Slate plugins on?

Thanks for listening!
I used vcc and vtm on every single track and on the master bus.
Vbc was used on the guitar, drum, vocal and master bus.
Fx-g was used as the final mastering limiter.

I agree with Nikolas on the guitars but damn, the songs and riffage in general are kick-ass!!!
Also a plus for choosing melodic singing.
Superb job!!!

cheers

Sick! Bright guitars indeed, but it somewhat works IMO.

Thanks for your comments and for listening!
I really like the guitar sound myself but the guitar is a very bright guitar aswell.
29.4 scale length, alder body etc. and ofcourse the sound I tweaked.

After the release of some cool products like the new Ownhammer V3 IR's, Slate's VMR and Fractal Audio AXE FX's fw17.04 and after reading some tips from you guys I decided to remix the whole album.
I think it sounds much better now.
Listen to it on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/thejonsymonsproject/sets/escape-the-hollow-v20-2015-remix
Buy it at bandcamp in HQ audio: https://thejonsymonsproject.bandcamp.com/releases

I hope you enjoy this new version as much as I do!
Thanks for listening!

Sounds ok. I don't like the vocals that much. Sounds like a school boy playing over some chuggy guitars. Congrats on completling an album though. It's no mean feat to do it all yourself and finish a product!
