So this morning around 5:00am we had a pretty nasty thunderstorm. Woke the whole family up and sounded like the thing was coming to life. So I decided to take one of my old recordings and try to bring that feeling out.

Forgive me for the guitar in the mix as It was rendered poorly. I tried to help it as much as I could with some comp and eq. Keep the comments coming. They help me a great deal!

Sounds pretty dark and intense mate. Great job, you nailed the atmosphere, and I love the sound effects!

Nice track. Sometimes the lead notes don't fit in with the chords but apart from that it's great.

Thanks for the comment's guys. It is more of an "atmosphere" that I was after.

Wow, havn't heard that one in a while, and it does sound a bit like it. I used a voicing on my keyboard called "Kingdom" for it.

Excellent bit of creativity man...loving it!


I was picturing some kind of dark cult thiller montage when listening to it. It definately has attitude
