Song with Beepster and Zargg71 - Ingen vinner frem til den evige ro

Who played what?

Thanks, Mesher. Yeah, Oyvind is definitely a melodic oriented dude. I'm usually more atonal/chromatic thrash noise and prop it up with more modal mayhem than traditional Major/minor stuff. So it's fun getting to play around with more classical style cadences/chord progressions. It gives me a chance to experiment with "proper" harmonic/melodic minor theory. Neat stuff.
 
Thanks for listening.
 
Also it should be noted that Oyvind was also the mix engineer on this as well (with some incessant nagging and prodding from me as a second set of ears... lol, hopefully I wasn't too annoying).

Wow, an old Norwegian folk melody the way it was meant to be played!  I really liked this, esp the guitar work.

I liked the structure of the song eg  the nice transition at 1:33 and esp  ~2:25 and the ending with the short keyboard phrase. Well done!

I just have to say thanks to Beepster for putting me in touch with Øyvind, and to Øyvind for letting me have a go at this. And thanks for the positive feedback.
All the best.

@Zargg... I'm glad it worked out. I've been wanting to hear this one done for a while and it was just a longshot hunch that you might be into it. Hooray for hunches! You totally viking'd this up. Thanks, buddy.

It was both challenging and fun Thanks again for connecting us
Cheers, mate

Cool

I suppose you guys won't take any of the blame if I invade the next town over with some friends after listening to this, right?

Heheh. Can't blame me, man. I'm a Canuck.
 
Now if you politely challenged them to a street hockey game or a Molson's swilling contest then I might be in trouble.
 
Thanks for checkin' it out, dood.

Personally I enjoy when you mix up the genres like this. Very nice arrangement. Personally I would like more emphasis on the vocal, but that's probably just me.

Thanks. Well it’s a genre thing I think. And it makes the mix sound more brutal with the vocal like this. But for more POPy sound I would make the voice in the front. That’s just how I see it tho. I am just a beginner…

Thank you

@Jarvse... All my swords are in the shop for repairs and the only axes I own are the six string kind... although I have had to klonk a few "over enthusiastic" audience members with them back in my wilder days. lol
 
@mgh... There do seem to be a few of us. I think the Sonar flagship package is really quite good for metal (good drums, guitar sim, effects, etc) so I'm not sure why there aren't more metal hounds using it. I just needed to upgrade a couple things at first (TH2, Guitar Rig and I had to get BFD Eco back with X1 but AD2 does a good job on it's own with the right ADpaks).
 
As for the "trigger" click-kick sound I usually avoid that myself but you're right, a trigger sound would work for this style. Thanks for checking it out.
 
@soens... I'm not sure if this particular song would technically qualify but the genre is referred to as "Unblack" metal. Basically Norweigian Black metal but with X-tian lyrical content. It was a pushback against the real over the top satanic stuff that was going on in Norway a while back in the Black metal scene.
 
I'm not a religious guy myself but if the music/message is intended to uplift and spread goodwill... well that I can get behind. And with riffs like what Jarvse puts together it taps into MY version of "religion"... which is music.
 
Cheers!

For this tune I think Jarvse used Superior Drummer for the drums and Amplitude on my dry guitar tracks (he'd have to confirm). I'd definitely like to try those out (and... well tons of the other quality goodies floating out there these days) but I'm broke and seem to do okay with what I have. Takes a bit of kernoodling though but that's good for me too for the educational value.
 
What I REALLY need is some good mastering tools. I've been wanting to snag an Izotope package for a while (Ozone and RX specifically) and I think Melda's Spectral Dynamics would be a very usefull piece of kit.
 
BFD3 and TH3 are both on my list as well. NI Komplete (which Jarvse uses) would also be an awesome addition.
 
That's all a lot of dough for an upstart like me though. Someday.
 
Cheers!

Yeah. I used SD2 and Amplitube with the Thripple Ractihier amp.

Thank you guys
