This Is Halloween Cover

One of my all time favorites.  I wanted to do a cover of this for quite some time.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas.  https://soundcloud.com/mu...-cover-ft-chris-feener

    Sounds pretty good here.  I really like what you've done with it arrangement and playing-wise.   Nice thick and heavy mix but still balanced, very well suited for the style.   And yeah, the guitar solo is very good.

    I think it sounded great...
     
    this is monster for sure....
     
    who did the kit work and what did you use?
     
    also kinda missed having a fat bass-line with a beast like this..but its still an A++ production

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, I really appreciate it.  Thepogue, I wrote and recorded everything except the guitar solo.  For the drums I used the mics and cymbals from Metal Foundry, the snare and kick are blended samples of custom samples I have.

    No knowledge of the original so can not compare the mix worked here though I personally felt it sounded a little squished.
     
    Thanks for sharing.
