Old song redone with Reampage(Ryan)

[K Odell]

Tracked an old song bc my band is thinking about doing a b-sides release for fun and Ryan was nice enough to reamp the guitars for me. Check it out duders.

Dude, that song was totally awesome. It had me bobbing my head.

I like the groove of the main riff, and that tone was totally badass.

 

[Metaltastic]

Wow dude, some HEAVY "Stabbing the Drama" vibes from the verse riff here Sounds cool overall, but when the harmony guitars come in they feel much lower to me, probably cuz I would just really want a rhythm part under them. Also, the guitars have this strange sorta metallic overtone that I can't say I'm overly fond of (and I would've preferred the mic closer to the dustcap Was this Fredman-style Ryan? Maybe that's it...), especially present in the aforementioned off-beat staccato verse riff.

Ah, but finally in the end, some rhythm under the harmonies! I figured it was building up to a payoff, but took too long to get there IMO. Drums sound great though, especially that snare, what a pop! AD? You've really got that programmed mastered brotha!

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh, and the bass sounds good, but could come up a bit methinks

 

[K Odell]

Yeah I def hear that Marcus. This song is years old and I am sure its from when I was trying to write random swedish shit like Soilwork or Inflames. So I def hear the Stabbing The Drama influence haha. As for the tone, I also caught the metallic influence in the guitars. And to address the harmonies thing. I guess I just didn't want to do the same ol' thing with having a track of guits going underneath the harmonies. Just wanted to try some random ish' although it does sound quite a bit better when the guitars drop in.

 

[K Odell]

Oh yeah and for drums its AD, but the snare is good ol' Slate Snare 11A.

Damn, I love it - WHEN IS SSD EX GONNA COME OUT GODAMMIT

 

[Morgan C]

Sounds fucking sick but that ride bell is obnoxiously loud and static. Mix up the velocities on it a bit. Also the little ride fill in the interlude. Need some more velocities on the roll.

Guitars sound so heavy, and the bass is awesome.

 

[Rex Rocker]

I think I've heard that harmony part in another of your songs... can't remember which one, tho.

Awesome song!

 

[K Odell]

yeah I rehashed it from an old idea and used it in this newer version of this old song.
