Well its been a long time coming, sorry about that guys, my fault, difficult to get the oppotunity to do some singing at home, but the long wait is finally over, a whopping 37 tracks later (yes i got carried away )

I`ve lived with this most of the day and I gotta say its really grown on me a lot!!

Big pats on the back all round I`d say

Siggum & Stevie (ryley) you rock!!

Siggum - Bass & all keyboards
Stevie - Guitars
Smells - Guitars, Solo & all vocals

Lyrics ended up being

Holy man is crying, Far accross the sea
Screaming in pain he`s dying
Show him the truth so he can see

As the nights grow colder
And the darkness fills our dreams
Time is pushing against us
is it a crime to be free

All the times you wanted me
All the times you wanted me to be home free
All the times we`ve wasted
All the times we`ve hated
Show me justice means I`m free

Show me the reason for living
I`m gunna make you burn
What is this hell that your leaving
Is it the peace you yearn

as the nights grow colder..... etc repeat

Posted by: AudunESP Jun 30 2008, 09:08 PM

WoW! Thats just one piece of great song.Everything is just good! The only thing i can say negatively is that i want to hear the vocals a little more. Turn it a little up. You have a verry cool voice and your vocals are great!
I love the solo

Very good job on this one! I think it has a nice 80's flavour, which I really like! (I'm stuck in the 80's by the way...)

Posted by: Tjchep Jul 3 2008, 07:15 PM

This is really cool mate.. awesome stuff!!

Posted by: Smells Jul 3 2008, 07:16 PM

thanks mate, but this was a joint effort with Siggum and Stevie too

Posted by: Matt23 Jul 3 2008, 07:46 PM

Great song. Well done guys.

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jul 3 2008, 07:56 PM

WOW you guys are simply the coolest - an original song - this is a landmark!!

Somehow the lyrics remind of early Hetfield - and the guitars are killer! The solo has a really neat build up, well done!

edit - I am listening to it over and over and I really like the verses, they have a very cool feel over them!

Posted by: Henry Dietzel Jul 3 2008, 08:43 PM

I hear many influences. I actually had a moment after hearing this and figured I'd share my thoughts

'84 Scopions (rock you like a hurricane era) -' 84 Hetfield (fade to black era) - '84 Dave Murray & Adrian Smith for the solo section (aces high era) all thrown in a blender with a dash of rock ballad.... I was only 5 in '84 but only a few years later I would began to discover these bands. My older cousins were only good for 2 things-kicking my ass around and playing metal for me

Man this track sure takes me back, KICK ASS JOB Siggum, Stevie, & Smells this came out great!!!!

It's so cool especially knowing this was done without any of you in the same room.....technology blows me away!!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jul 3 2008, 08:56 PM

Yes - that's what I was thinking, thanks Henry!

Posted by: Smells Jul 3 2008, 09:07 PM

thanks Kris

Cheers Henry! I had no idea I was that much older than you! must have had a harder life, must have been the ass kicking you got from your cousins `84 and I`ve have been 14 and first tinkering around with the guitar listening to these bands.

Its weird how it all came together really, Stevies original idea for a riff, Siggums take with the bass and keyboards totally transformed it to a different level, I`m really chuffed with it

Posted by: Siggum Jul 4 2008, 12:12 PM

Thanks Kris and Henry, this was a fun project

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jul 4 2008, 01:10 PM

Cool. Very catchy. I like the vocals being fairly low in the mix. It fits this style of song I reckon. Cool solo also. Keep it up.

Posted by: Col Roberts Jul 5 2008, 02:50 PM

Wow, just great guys . Very professional. When's the album coming out?

Cheers.

Posted by: jer Oct 3 2008, 02:50 PM

Now that was a fun listen!

Great tune.

And I agree that the solo was VERY well done.
