Metal
These are my personal music projects. I got inspired by Ola Englund for making gear demo videos and I thought I'd
need some test songs. Songs that would feature rather heavy riffing.
It all started as a couple of songs for sound testing purposes for my custom guitar gear,
and to practise my mixing skills for metal music. So after a while I noticed I had an album full of songs and
I quickly assembled them together: sung vocals, played keyboard parts etc.
Somewhere in the process, after my mixing skills got a little bit better, I forgot to keep track of which equipment I was using. This happened somewhere around the Delusions Of Reality Part IV: Perfect People album. I guess it is a good sign of concentrating to something else for example music production, mixing and composing the actual songs. Anyway I'm happier to current state of how my music sounds than I were at the beginning of Delusions Of Reality project. Let's see where this path leads to...

Technical details:
Guitars are hard panned to left and right. Left guitar is BC Rich Kerry King Signature Special with my custom wound humbuckers. Right guitar is Ibanez Iceman. Guitars are recorded with my Mark style amp through my custom cabinet with Celestion Seventy speaker miced with SM57. Guitars have only little postprocessing such as HPF at 70Hz and mastering compression and a tiny bit of master mixbus reverb. Bass is recorded with my Lemmy bass amp and DI speaker signal is going though my Eminence Beta speaker impulse response. Drums are programmed with Toontrack Superior Drummer 2 because I don't have real drummer available and my drum skills are not that good :D. I don't use any drum midi libraries. All the drum fills etc are programmed by me.

This is also an important project for me because I don't have any sheet music written for this as I
have almost every other music projects I have done.
Arranging the songs were done in quite oldschool way with sequencer and a guitar.
All rerecordings and arrangements are done by ear.
In that aspect I'm very satisfied with this project and I feel that it has improved my guitar skills especially on rythm guitars.

This project was actually produced before the death metal stuff above. I wrote and arranged all instruments as sheet music before I started recording.
Most of the material were recorded in the midwinter (2017-2018).
I'm still practising to make balanced mixes with lots of synth and guitar layering.
Of course this is still amateur work but I'm somewhat satisfied with this mix and I think little by little I'm getting there...

In this album I finally learned how to do proper fry screams (after taking lots of lessons). So these vocals at least to me sound the best that I have ever screamed so far.
