Hello everyone, and happy Friday! It’s been a bit since I’ve done one of my own tunes, so today we’re ripping through We Take The Grave, off the 2018 release Megalomaniac. This album was part of the Record Production Month challenge, when one records an albums worth of stuff in the 4 weeks of February. I took it a little bit further and wrote all the music as well during this time, because I like… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re back in the studio at Okzygen with a new cover video, this time it’s Laid To Rest by Lamb Of God. For those of us who got thrown into the metal scene of the early 2000’s, this song was definitely one of the biggest hits of the time, and helped turn a whole new generation into the world of metal. And as you can probably tell by now (with this being my… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re doing another cover video today, and a long one at that with Right In Two by Tool. This band became a very important part of my musical influence long ago after being introduced to them by my buddy Alex, with masterful control over experimental time signatures, poly-rhythms, atmosphere, and of course the fantastic drumming of Danny Carey. But we’re not drumming today, we’re focusing on Adam Jones and all his little nuances… Continue reading
Hello you beautiful people! We’re back again playing an original song called Forever Out of Time, taken off the album Burn. This is one of my favourite tunes to play, and when I was playing live gigs I would normally close out the set with this song. There’s something uplifting and energetic about it that just sits right in the ears and the mind that makes it really difficult to stand still. Hell, it was… Continue reading
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! 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, 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
