[JemDooM]

Hi Friends  , I just finished recording this tune, "Eyes of Fire", a doomy Sabbath/AIC pluthera of SLUDGE:

ALSO AVAILABLE HERE:

for all my rhythym guitars, I used THE BLACK ARTS PHARAOH FUZZ PEDAL into a tech 21 Oxford.

Cheers  

That's a nice fuzz tone!!!

[JemDooM]

racer your stuff is beautiful looking forward to hearing the heavier stuff too!

[JemDooM]

Cleaned up the rough demo of dust Devils & added some vocals:

I love how this sounds especially what you've done with the vocals...

[jibberish]

I was just catching up on this thread again.  spook kicks ass in his tune for sure heh. nice wah-work. that could be polished up into a real slick tune.

I also like more eclectic mental shit. whatever racerx is cooking, smells intruiging.

but as of now caravan sabbatical is winning. nice touch of fusion or something in your Sabbath worship. also, I realize what having a very competent bassline going can do for a song. that really put the sparkle in that bitch.  I believe I would pay a cover to see your band if the whole deal was of this ilk, maybe even kill some pbr pounders[and 4 pre-emptive advils haha]

if everdrone and corey ever got together, I think they would dominate.

so I painted an audio picture. just LP-pharaoh-shit behringer delay/verb honestly don't know. spun the dial until I liked the sound haha.
it is set on a background thunderstorm ambient track which I put together from samples online

so picture little boat goes out on creepy night, something is wrong, boat gets chased, calm spot for tension "they're baaaack" boat gets trashed by squid. boat pieces sink like twinkling stars into the abyss. only the rain is left.   play it loud if anyone cares to sail with me haha arrrrrgh may-teeee

JemDoom's coltsblood new album is killer no doubt:

I dig Corey's stuff, I was listening to his stuff today and was literally wondering if I recorded it?!? dejah vu, music cut from the same playbook it seems, ha!

Cool!  I like Hammerfoot, it reminds me of some Zappa/Fripp, or maybe the song I used to play back in Jazz Band called "take 5" by dave brubeck

[Danny G]

Thanks! In this case I think it would be "Take 13" heh

EP is now on Soundcloud

Got this rough mix in progress back today and threw some rhythm and leads on it, it's like a production nightmare hehe, it's a little sloppier in places than I'd like, still waiting on the second track, we recorded all day in a very hot room with the sun blaring in getting drunker by the minute, it was a good day

This is using for rhythym guitars EMG81 and Revalver, epiphone SG standard, check it out if you dont mind modern rock/metal:

[everdrone]

Im on a roll!  Today I recorded this one with my new Revalver 3.5 modeling of the Peavey 6505+ amplifiers for the rhythm guitar tracks, and for the guitar solo and bass I use the toontrack ezmix presets.  Revalver takes a bit of tweaking but it is worth it!  using for all guitars both the EMG81 and EMG 85.  This is some metal that has a bit more 'thrash' than I usually play with a fingertapping guitarsolo, check it:

lol definitely epic slow Doom stuff! I hear some great tones and delays in there as well. I wish that it wasn't clipping so much, maybe kinda box off the mic or somehow turn the mic clipping limiter down

[JemDooM]

That first track sounds excellent drone it sounds like Hooded Menace actually! I can hear those zombie vocals about to kick in! The second track is awesome, sounds really death metal to me!

Yeah the clipping is the first thing I asked to get rid of! I think he left it there on purpose because we're so loud in the studio I think he likes to push that on the recordings, its the same guy who mixed this Celtic Frost cover for us, this was the final and much more toned down version I asked for, he'd actually sent a really extreme version which was so pushed to the limits it was terrifying! I like recording/mixing with him as he comes up with ideas and pushes boundaries which I wouldn't take as far as he does, he keeps me on my toes! We have a much better version this morning! Although he's sent another song also with so much effects on the vocals that John sounds exactly like a Dalek heh...

[everdrone]

just as constructive criticism (as always take with a grain of salt, my personal opinion)

Im glad your happy with him, I have never heard that much clipping before from a professional in a studio that charges people money for his work though.  How much does he charge?

I would ask him to stop all that clipping as well (like you did) and I would just pay someone else or just record stuff myself, I think the clipping really detracts from the music and tones, I mean its way more clipping than that metallica album a few years back that everyone was down on.  That said, a few say my recordings have too much compression/clipping in them as well and I prolly should save up to get some lessons on how to mix better.

[JemDooM]

Oh don't worry drone it was done in our practise room and we just paid a little for their time! Its two friends of ours, the newer clip free version sounds much better it's the kind of song that can't cope with distractions like that as you say. I don't mind things being so pushed on faster messier songs like the frost cover or the amebix cover we've just done. I like having fun with these recordings we do for split tapes as I feel like it lets off steam between albums where things are much more controlled

[Corey Y]

Those new clips sound great everdrone, I wish I could solo like that. I'm garbage on guitar solos lol.

[Danny G]

Now that I have wifi again I look forward to taking an afternoon and listening to every single one of these links \m/,

Thanks for checking out my stuff JemDoom, its pretty cool then since yall dig what they are doing for your band then, cheers

Thanks so much for listening my friend.  I have been doing Fretlight guitar soloing lessons, I think they helped me. 

Your guitar riffs are awesome dude!!!  Maybe the guitar zen gurus will tell you to disregard all wishes of solos and just focus on riffage???

I've thought about trying out fretlight to learn soloing. Normally I don't really care, since I don't typically write a lot of music that revolves around guitar solos. It has come up a few times and I wish I could have handled it easily. In general the older I get the more I just want to be able to do everything myself musically and not have to rely on other people. That way I don't have projects sitting around for months or longer waiting on other people to be finished.

[jibberish]

you 2 guys were meant to collaborate ijs.

did you get that fretlight because orianthi told you to? heh

if anyone needs some ambience between black metal sets, here is 5 minutes of something you could hear like at king diamond or cradle of filth shows between bands.  it was a wank, but it actually uses bach-like chord progressions, and it came out really intense. gothic and dark cathedral organ/choir/and something else on the bottom heh. y'all are welcome to it.

and if anyone needs gothic filler like this for a certain amount of time. I could extend and organize this concept even further. just a thought. it can also be altered to more space creepy or melancholy like debussey's incredible sadness, or lots of ambient feels pertaining to the bandlist

[  all creepy chords were employed.
it is just a 1 take fake, but velocity sensitivity and layering make it sound multitrack.  korg x-50 is one badass toy. only thing used.]

Finally got around to listening to some stuff that's up here.  Jem, I'm really stoked on the new one.  Bring Coltsblood to the states!  Everdrone, your tone, technical ability and songwriting are spot fucking on!  I'm gonna go practice now.

[everdrone]

lol jibberish you saw that ad?  I bought my fretlight before she endorsed.  then I bought another fretlight to upgrade...then her endorsement happened...

[JemDooM]

Thanks cursed I would LOVE to come over to the States!

[everdrone]

I just figured I would write and record a metal song today for good measure:

https://soundcloud.com/earthalliance/2014-07-12-modern-metal

Im using EMG81/85 both pickups for all rhythym guitar, and emg81 for solo.  Used ezmix for all amps/guitars/bass. ROCK!!!
