Hi there - I am excited to show you a tune I am currently working on. It's a little aggressive so "soft-poppers" beware!
 Lyric wise I have been trying to capture the feeling of having way-too-many-things-going-on-at-the same time (I am sure there are many other who share this feeling with me). Also I added some general evilness to the text - to make it a little more metal. ( "  " ...you know  )Any feedback is appreciated! >>Click here to listen! (old mix here) Pause.Breathe. Don't you take what is left of me Don't tell me what I am supposed to be Don't you spill what is left of the weak Don't you pause and don't you breathe Don't confuse our time with hate Don't you dare bloody come too late Please step out, just walk the line Rise from birth and die with time Don't forget to pause, don't forget to breathe Don't forget the everlasting cause! Don't forget to pause, don't forget to breathe Don't you pause and don't you breathe! Pace of death - it's killing you Pace of death is feeding me With control you will let me in With control we will die in sin Doesn't it make sense to cure yourself Doesn't it make sense to heal the world Nothing is free and you will sacrifice yourself A burden on you means a burden off the world Don't forget to pause, don't forget to breathe Don't forget the everlasting cause! Don't forget to pause, don't forget to breathe Don't you pause and don't you breathe! Pause, breathe, pause, breathe, pause, breathe Time to pause? I don't think so! SOLO Don't forget to pause, don't forget to breathe Don't forget the everlasting cause! Don't forget to pause, don't forget to breathe Don't you pause and don't you breathe!

Awesome to get some feedback from you on this Muris!  Do you mean on the chorus? - I tried a little but it was insanely hard to sing that fast with the growly voice. I agree that having a low/thick and heavy vocal dub work be really cool though! QUOTE (Fran @ Nov 16 2008, 09:47 PM) Nice Kris, very thrashy/metallica, chorus is quite stressing actually .

You're welcome Kris. Actually I was thinking more of the beginning section. Chorus is more or less fine cause you sing pretty higher and fast and that's when voice goes thin anyhow. But for beginning when you sing lower notes I think you might try more mature sound voice,maybe mature is the wrong word. Hmm,maybe less growling and more nature/deep voice.

Ahh I see what you mean - basically more singing and less of the growling on the verses! The problem is - singing cleanly is a lot harder for me than to do that semi-growl thing. (No excuses though, I need to practice!). Actually my vocal practicing nowadays only focuses on clean singing - the last two years I have basically just practiced getting the "angry tone" - so I guess the time is here for me to actually learn to nail the notes!

I think you managed to match lyrics with music, very frenetic
I share this feeling with you definitely, and today was thinking about it and how to clear my mind

Nooo,notes are fine! It's just less growling and more power,that's my taste tho.

I love your songs kris, and this reminds me also of metallica. I like it and its very catchy from the beginning on.
Some lessons from you to this kind of singing would be sooo cool. Its just the kind of singing you dont really find information about-at least i didnt find. ps. A lesson about the guitar riffs would be also awesome.

Cool song.
I personally would have the guitar a bit quiter and the vocals a bit louder, but it was really good.

QUOTE (Nazgul @ Nov 16 2008, 10:40 PM) Wow, great song! Though I think after listening to this song a few times you will get mad. Hehe - I actually asked my mum if she didn't think this song was aggressive and cool. And she said "no you just sound completely mad!" QUOTE (Canis @ Nov 16 2008, 10:15 PM) Wow! This is kickass! Looking forward to your album Thanks Canis - I am inspired to do an album - and I have been learning a lot about the sound engineering part lately.
