    So I haven't posted anything in four months, got kinda bored just doing covers and whatnot so I stopped recording them for a while. Been working on some original music, kinda melodic death metal themed like the band I used to be in. But I got a new bass today, and got a really nice tone pretty...

    I felt like this song deserved a redo. My tone was atrocious, playing was sloppy, and I had a .9-74 set on the 8 string which isn't heavy enough for Drop D1. Better tone, with lots of midrange just so my playing won't get buried in the original song. Tried it with this fat, chuggy, low end heavy...

    Had an idea while stoned as hell and actually followed through with it for once. I transposed the bassline of Leather Teeth by Carpenter Brut to bass guitar. I have a good ear so it wasn't hard to pick out the notes, just had to arrange them. Picked A Standard tuning for ease of playing since...

    Little bit of Drop A chugging never hurt anyone. This album came out in like my sophomore year of high school and I still love it. Deathcore is extremely hit or miss for me but Whitechapel in this era was solid. Their music kinda sucks now, but they had some good years.

    Of course Dethklok in 2019. For music created for a cartoon about a death metal band, Dethklok has consistently pumped out very solid melodic death metal. Gotta hand it to the creativity of Brendon Small. I might do more Dethklok, maybe Crush the Industry off Dethalbum III since there's some...

    This one was fun. Dethklok songs are all really good and a lot of fun to play. Every single bass cover on YouTube of this song is wrong, and I'm about 95% positive this is note-for-note with the album. Playing songs like this recently to get my finger playing back up to snuff, every song I've...

    I might learn it sometime. That's way out of my comfort zone and what I'm used to playing, but I think that could be fun.

    Yeah I like doing the bass covers more than the full song ones. Partially because I'm not really a good guitar player, but I've always just liked playing bass more. Bass is so important to most genres of music, especially metal but unfortunately that's the genre it gets overlooked in the most...

    Because it's funny. Something else I did earlier. Just a snippet of the song. Talked to a friend from high school the other day I used to play with and he mentioned wanting to cover For Whom The Bell Tolls. Since that came up, and it's a pedal I've wanted for a long time, I got a used Morley...

    I think I hit a wrong note somewhere and I get off time once or twice, but it's 4am, I'm stoned outta my mind, and my wrist hurts from re-learning this song. I'll say it right now, Jason Newsted > Cliff Burton. Cliff was a better composer, but Jason is better as a player and a performer. It's a...

    Untouchables is a muddy album in general. Fieldy usually boosts the low and the high while completely cutting the mids, but on that album he has a less scooped tone which kinda fights for space with the guitar's midrange. I could have had less drive in the tone but it really helped getting that...

    This might be the one I've had the most fun with yet. I'm not the world's biggest Korn fan, but Here to Stay was the first song I learned on a 5-string bass, and I think I was 16 so this took me back. Lots of people hate Fieldy's tone, but to me, it's legendary. I think I did a pretty good job...

    I'm working on Hammer Smashed Face and FUCK this song is HARD lmao. I forgot.

    I'm all self taught. Basically just trial and error, adjusting levels and learning what each frequency pertains to. Mixing Prison Song kinda makes me want to go re-record Toxic Garbage Island and mix it properly.

    Thank ya. I'll probably do some more System at some point. Maybe Suite-Pee, or Sugar, or something else off their first album. Mixing this song was a breeze. Guitar tone could have used more gain, but I didn't want too much bottom end. Although listening to the studio version, it is kinda...

    Decided to do another instrumental cover instead of just recording over the studio track. And guess what, it's mixed this time!

    I lied again. I don't have the drum track for Hammer Smashed Face anymore, and can't find it. I'll find a decent one somewhere since I don't have a VST for drums right now. I bought a new guitar yesterday. Well a used guitar, but new to me. I've joined the Legion of Djent and have an 8-string...

    I lied. Hammer Smashed Face is still coming, but I spent pretty much the entire day trying to recreate the bass tone I had in the band I was in during high school, and I got pretty goddamn close. Chose Blinded by Fear by At The Gates since they were the direct inspiration for the stuff we...

    Thanks. I'm pretty familiar with mixing, just didn't bother with it for this quick cover. I'd have to compress the high end of the drum track so much because it clashes with everything. Weird sounding kick drum doesn't let the bass come through as clearly despite there being a clean bass track...

    A few months ago I got my hands on a guitar and a bass again, and have finally gotten into the swing of things. Bought a recording interface and amp modeling software so I'm putting that to work. Played through Toxic Garbage Island by Gojira and figured I'd post it up. It's an insanely rough...
