Hey everyone! Going back a bit again and sharing this video from a month ago, playing through Beyond The Skyline from my most recent album, Victims of Infinity. I know I said the next video was gonna be an Arch Enemy cover, but I just wanted to sneak this one in quickly. After this one I’ll be dropping down to Friday video uploads exclusively until things pick up a bit more. Now this one was… Continue reading
Hey everyone! Another Friday has come upon us, so as tradition demands it’s time for a new video! Today I decided to rip through one of my originals from 2019, Burn, from the album of the same name. This is definitely one of the more upbeat songs I’ve written, with a much funkier vibe full of brass stuff going on, while still keeping that heavy melodic fun stuff going during the solo. I actually had… Continue reading
Hey everyone, we’re gonna be sliding back a bit to one of the earlier videos from a month ago, since I never bothered to post it here when originally uploading it. So, you know, here we are with an original song called A Place To Forget, taken off the EP Disaster Inverted. Opted to do this one on an acoustic, as it’s a much slower paced song, focusing more on ambience and emotional, err, stuff.… Continue reading
Hey everyone! It’s that time of the week again, new video day! And today we’ve got another Lamb of God cover, this time we’re running through the song Blacken The Cursed Sun. I’m still trying to find a balance and flow to how I do these edits. The last cover (Crystal Mountain by Death) leaned more towards solid single shots with just a few close-up transitions. This time around I had a bit more fun… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re rocking another cover video today, another all time favourite with Crystal Mountain by Death. Decided to run this one for a few reasons, one being because Death is awesome and you should listen to them more, and because next week I’ll be heading to Toronto to see Death To All, a group consisting of various surviving members of the band paying (and playing) tribute to the mastermind behind the group, Chuck Schuldiner.… Continue reading
Hey everyone! It’s another fine day in the studio, so I figured I should share another cover video. This time we’re taking on Kissing The Shadows, by one of my all time favourites, Children Of Bodom. Actually, I recorded this cover just a couple months after hearing the devastating news of Alexi Laiho’s passing back in 2021, as a sort of tribute to one of the greatest guitar players that has ever been. I’m still… Continue reading
Hey everyone, it’s time for another cover video! Running through the song Walk With Me In Hell by Lamb of God today, a track I’ve jammed for a long time as part of my warm-ups. Think I used to have another cover of this track online somewhere 13 years or so ago, but as was the case with most of my old videos all the audio was captured through some shitty little handheld camera… Continue reading
Well hello there. It’s been a while. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the dealings of life and the living, but it’s time to get back to work. Over the next few weeks there’s going to be some changes on the site here, some trimming of the fat and streamlining of things to help accommodate a somewhat new direction in efforts. Hopefully this will also mean more regular updates as I’ll be shifting focus onto… Continue reading
Hey everyone! Like most of the world, I’ve been spending a fair bit of time lately hunkered down while we wait out the COVID-19 situation. It’s a very curious time to be alive right now, but we shouldn’t just sit idly by and wait just because we’re safe inside. So I dug through some old files, started putting together some old tracks that were abandoned long ago, and over the next few weeks I’m gonna… Continue reading
Victims of Infinity, the latest album from Justin Strode, is now available on Bandcamp! Recorded during the Record Production Month of 2020, Victims of Infinity comes from the collective experiences of the last decade, churning all the great times and musical explorations of the last ten years into a well mixed force of energetic ferocity and precision. With the guitar taking center stage, Justin takes the listener on a crushing journey of heavy riffs, screeching… Continue reading
