The Obsidian Conspiracy - Instrumental Version

[Djabthrash]

Im tempted to do this also
Just for the fun of it anyway

Yeah, it's a unique opportunity since it hardly ever happens that we get :

* a killer produced instrumental track
* from a band where the singing has always been very unique and also controversial (some people love it, some people hate it), in a way that some people say "i wish they had a different singer" or "i wish they stayed instrumental all the way"
* where you can lay down a shitload of different styles of vocals (from death metal growls to clean vocals to regular angry screaming)
* for a contest with the blessing of the band/management itself

TOTALLY DOING THIS HOLY SHIT

 

[xFkx]

I think i've found my new reference guitar sound, god it's so perfect

 

[Josh Burgess]

Haven't downloaded yet... Is it the same version that was leaked a while ago or is this a different version with different guitar tone, mastered, etc.?

 

[Machinated]

really digging the guitar tone, makes me think of like an improved version of dreaming neon blacks tone.

it sounds more alive, really good job. drums actually remind me of kernon esque nevermore too (i dont know why), but I also think these work way better. cant wait to hear the final versions of the songs etc

 

[DeclanWhite]

im better

 

[Matt Smith]

Did anybody else here give this a whirl? Here's my entry:

Just amazing Matt!!

 

[slashvanyoung]

Ding, ding... Winner!

Man, it would be so cool to hear Warrel using his higher register a bit more often again. Most will probably disagree haha.

 

[Nebulous]

Holly shit, Matt. That was awsome. Would love to hear more NM inspired riffing in Theocracy now

Hope you like the lyrics

Lets smoke!

This song is just made for people
who can't lick their own elbow
My jar is filled up with weed
I hope you are ready to receive

Red eyes, gravity eyelids,
litle bit gigles and hazy times
Monstrous munchies yet to come in your mind
Deeply in your toughts thinking of some nonsense stuff
Maybe I should roll new joint and have few beers
yeaaahh

Now it really kicks in
I feel quite numb
I just laid back

and sense how the soundwaves cuddles my skin
I feel so comfort, dive in to blue

Red eyes, gravity eyelids,
litle bit gigles and hazy times
Monstrous munchies yet to come in your mind
Deeply in your toughts thinking of some nonsense stuff
Maybe I should roll new joint and have few beers

LEGALIZE THE POT pot pot pot

Now it really kicks in
I feel quite numb
I just laid back

and sense how the soundwaves cuddles my skin
I feel so comfort, dive in to blue

 

[Ermz]

no, i agree with you.

Would that have been the case if they'd asked you to produce this one?

Awesome stuff Matt. Normally I don't go for the hardcore power vocals, but you have an ability to pull them off very well.

 

[zakky]

Matt, you pwn. Nuff said

 

[DecTV]

Heh. There seems to be some unwarranted bitterness on Youtube comments for Matt's participation. Interesting competition nevertheless.
