MUSIC CREATION IN CONFINEMENT ?

To me it doesn't really matter if its original once the songs are good.

There's original and then there's original, knowwarroimean?

Got a new band called Vespertilian on the go over the course of this whole covid business. Tis coming along well. Surreal death metal kinda. More details in good time. Not being able to gig for the foreseeable has given us the luxury of time to develop it.

Dunno if people are aware of how many new records we're going to have next year as a result of this situation, seems like every band in the country has been recording over the last few months!

Except for Bacterium 

[Pentagrimes]

And Astral Tomb come to think of it !

Looking forward to hearing it - think ye'll have a demo or anything out this year?

[Eoin McLove]

Very interesting stuff from the bits and pieces I've heard so far. Big In Flames buzz to much of it.

Wed like to but we're in no rush

Yeah definitely leaning harder on the newer In Flames/Gojira/Machine Head influence for sure. Having a turntablist in the band has really opened the sound up

Had multiple beers last night while try to figure out a new piece of gear. Eventually came up with this.

Having listened to a good few things of yours, that sounds like sarcasm.

That was pretty deadly, getting good use out of the new drum machine there!

I have four song templates recorded now. Just uploaded this one to Soundcloud. I think this is the best of the bunch.
I'm going to re-record and double track the guitars tomorrow.

The sound isn't the best on it, I didn't really bother to mix it.
I'll get a better version of it uploaded by Monday.

That's your best riffing yet lad, some vicious speeds on the picking there, keep writing & experimenting! I'd suggest taking advantage of the double tracking with some Morbid riff harmonies, and it'd be good to hear some leads thrown in here & there.

The genre diversity quotas on this island are lacking in some ripping oldschool Florida style stuff so it'd be whopper to flesh this out into a full on project/band.

Thanks, mate. I'll add solos eventually, I just want to get a few songs in the bag before I add the bells and whistles.
I've already had a drummer contact me on Facebook who wants to lay down some proper drum tracks.
He's a savage drummer, he can do 220bpm no bother, but he's based in Switzerland.
One of his mates has a studio over there so he suggested I send him the guitar files and they can do some on their end.
I'll probably get a bass in the New year, just so I can fill out the sound on the demo tracks I'm doing.
As for vocals, I won't be doing them. I haven't put the feelers out for a vocalist yet. I'll wait until I have more material written.

This is the first song that I'm happy with. The song I uploaded to Soundcloud was the template for it.
I cut a few riffs and added a few new ones.

it's better to listen to it at half volume, sounds shite cranked up.

Ahhhh, you keep coming up as a suggestion on my instagram. Have watched the vids. Good stuff, man and great to hear that things might start taking shape for a release.
