Northern Cold=Classic.

[Wenchmaster]

This is pure Northern Gold (no pun intended). This song makes me feel absolutely fantastic. Everything from the melodies down to the keyboards and to the somewhat elegant production that can be seen shaping the song so far. Honestly, it's genius. If the rest of the album has tracks along this vein, it will make it all the more worthy.

 

[Weeping Widow]

Yes, it is a awesome song! Love the keyboards!

 

[Dauden]

Whats your guys favourite of the new three? Mine's probably Your Ontario Town. Mind you sometimes I like songs a lot simply because of where they're put on the album, and how an album flows. But so far that one is my favourite. The chorus is great, its so Canadian and ownage.

Edit: Anyone know the lyrics after "In my ocean, the water was frozen... I could see my reflection in the ice"? Awesome line, can't figure out what comes after though

 

[Mike Sickle]

My fav so far is 'The Northern Cold'. 'Your Ontario' is running a very close 2nd tho.

Dauden: I think the next line you're talking about is in my new signature graphic, either that or I have to do some revisions on it hehe

 

[zekeyou]

I like all of them pretty equally, but for different moods-- I think they're all going to fit in to another great Woods puzzle on the complete album....

 

[sdmf2]

I probably like The Northern Cold the best, but maybe thats cuz I listened to it more often.

DG - "Mine was that of a quiet love...deep and true!"


+ Holy shit Mike!

This is awesome!!!

 

[Mike Sickle]

DG : thanks man!

hehe at least I wasn't too far off on the lyrics, only had to make a minor change to the graphic

 

[Dauden]

That is sweet... and thanks Dave, somehow I managed not to look at Mike's sig, and hear the song, and put two and two together

 

[Dauden]

Hey Dave, I was trying to figure some of this song out, did you still play in down a step and a half, or drop D, down a step and a half?

 

[David Gold]

Hey good ears man! You got it exactly right. We did both!!!

I recorded the main parts of the song in C# standard (Woods usual tuning for every song) but then added a the rythym chug parts with a guitar in C#, with the heaviest string tuned 'drop D' style (though in this case, the note went from C# down to B). That's Crowbar Heavy!!! Listen for the heavy chugs come in during the clean vocals in the verses ("Seldom seen, seldom spoken", and "In my ocean, the water was frozen").

 

[CaGeD iN]

its a great song, idk what my fav. is, it all depends on what mood im in

 

[sdmf2]

wow, I just listened to The Iron Grudge today and for the first time I really noticed the death metal growls. Dan can go pretty damn low eh?

Sweetass, thanks. I figured some if it out, along with some of Your Ontario Town. Some parts are tough to figure out cause of the production though. Perhaps I'll figure out the full thing once I get my hands on the actual album

 

[David Gold]

Dauden - Some parts are tough to figure out cause of the production though.

Don't blame the production, blame the genre! This is metal. It can get chaotic.

 

[Dauden]

Haha, good point. The more chaotic, the more grim/epic I suppose

 

[Miltbrand]

I haven´t heard any of the songs yet...

I´m struggling with a fucking 56k connection, so all I ever get when I try to listen to stuff off the net, is 3 sec here and 5 sec there.
I guess I´ll just have to wait for the album to come out.... When is it, april?
