Hey everyone! We’re hanging out once again at Okzygen, planning out the next few months of videos and various studio activities. Been plotting away at some redesigns for the live room, different covers to tackle, originals to write and do videos for, doing all that jazz when it occurred to me that I have yet to do a Death cover this year. So today we’re gonna be ripping through one of my favourite tunes… Continue reading
Hey everyone! As always we’re hanging out at Okzygen, and today I was feeling a little bit like playing something on the funkier side of things. I’ve been needing some of those more uplifting vibes as of late, after dealing with a whole bunch of not very fun stuff at all. So today we’re slapping our way through some Red Hot Chili Peppers with their song Hump De Bump! This song goes through a… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re hanging out at Okzygen Studios again, ripping through another cover of the melodic death metal variety. This time we’re doing a bit of a deep dive into some lesser-known Finnish stuff, a little tune called Hades from a group by the name of Kalmah! I don’t know what it is, but those Nordic countries have a certain affinity for the crazy melodic extremely heavy shreddy stuff. Must have something to do with… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re hanging out in the studio again, and today we’re celebrating the anniversary of a rather special album. It’s been 42 years since The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden was released upon this world, and quite frankly that number seems surreal. To think that this record is ten years older than myself just seems absurd. This album in particular holds a rather special place here, as it was my first real… Continue reading
Hey everyone. I’m gonna keep this short today. Like straight up copy and paste most of the text from the YouTube description kind of short. Been dealing with some personal stuff. If you know, you know. We’re ripping through another Lamb Of God cover today, this time it’s Insurrection off their 2012 album Resolution. I have to say, out of all the albums that I’ve given the chance to listen to, this one has quite… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re a little late getting this video out this week, but this one needed a little extra work to really make it something. See, this weekend is the 30th anniversary of one of my favourite albums of all time, The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails. This one has played a large role in my life, and I wanted to celebrate it a bit by doing a full cover of The Becoming! Now… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re cutting right under the wire here, but we’ve managed to make it to the finish line with this years RPM Project, Palanavra! Now as I’ve mentioned before, this is definitely not the final version of this album, this is just what we’ve been able to get finished in the last month. And I was honestly hoping to get more stuff done, but due to some outside influences taking up more of my… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re almost out of time for this years Record Production Month Challenge, so things are getting a little hectic here. While dealing with the chaos, I wanted to at least mark the occasion with a bit of a throwback to the first RPM project we completed. Way back in 2018, someone who goes by the name Drain Hope approached me about making an animated music video for one of my tunes. We… Continue reading
Hey everyone! It’s been a pretty hectic few weeks in the studio trying to wrap up the recording for this years RPM Project. Currently there’s 7 songs almost fully recorded, with just a couple little extra bits to add before we get to the mixing stage. That being said, I’ve been craving another Tool cover lately, and I figured it would be a good reason to take a short break from all the RPM stuff… Continue reading
Hey everyone! It’s been a busy few weeks working on the RPM project, but I thought it would be a good idea to take a bit of a break from that stuff while also putting the chops to the test. So for today’s cover we’ve got a song that I’ve been trying to learn for quite literally years. Coming from the wonderful mind of Steve Vai, we’re ripping through Building The Church! I’m not joking… Continue reading
