Posted by: Ben Higgins Oct 31 2013, 01:57 PM

Yes, I've been at it again... We've had Ilios, Hektor.. now we have Achilles the Slayer !

As you will notice, this one has got real drums, courtesy of an awesome Italian drummer, Andrea "Andrew" De Carolis. We've been doing a few more things together too so expect to see more stuff !

Is that a guitar or a machine gun?

Ben, this is yet another totally awesome track. Fast, fresh, frantic.

Man you are becoming quite the monster Ben! I really like how you downshift into the breakdown at 1:45 and the outro solo thereafter. Great stuff man!

Yeah, it sounds like an alien voice - that was Andrew who edited it into the drum track
