I've decided that making music and recording is what I want in life, and even if it doesn't take me anywhere, i'd already have plenty of personal journey's as a result, and that alone is worth it.

If anyone here enjoys very progressive music, with gothic tonality and heavy melodic metal influence, I would have you along for the ride.

You've closed the first chapter
of my book of lost souls,

This book will never gather dust.



Should be of improved quality.

Uggh, there's something in the chords at the start I don't like. Maybe a flat note. I will be remaking this shortly as I plan to have a really good vocalist lend me his talents soon. Will leave this up in the meantime.

1:06 the strange loud dub appears. Intentional or is it just my crapy stereo at work ?

I really like it, I enjoy stuff like this. :)

The drumms are maybe too loud in the first part, and I'd probably pick a bit different sounding ones. There's also stuttering of the sound while the whiny guitars play 1:40-1:54.



@Anonymous:: I think the dub is intentional, it's a drum I think, but the quality is bad, or the wrong drum is picked. If I imagine another sound for it, it sounds like it's in the right place and sounds nice.

Yes, you would imagine so soft-end-ball-drum-stick hiting the drum repeatedly. Maybe that drum track was on wrong volume or something.

Off topic on drum sound:

I hear it. It wasn't supposed to sound like that. It's either my garbage equalization or off treble/bass.

This one is of much higher quality, but less ambitious.



Edit: I hear what you were saying, and it was a simple fix. I redid amplification and increased the treble, and laxed the equalizing a bit. Should be up in a moment.
