After having three crappy demos up for awhile, my band finally put down the money for some professional recording at a professional studio, and we just wanted to get some feedback on how we sounded now that you can actually hear what we sound like. Our entire CD is sort of a concept album based on cosmology and astronomy.‘The Beginning’ has four movements:
I. The Big Bang (symbolized by the big [downbeat] hit after the intro and all the weird sound effects/ambience before it),
II. II. The First Star (its obvious when it starts),
III. III. The First Galaxy (Reprise of ‘The First Star’ with slightly expanded melody, symbolizing a growing universe), and
IV. IV. As We Know It (starts with bass reprise or w/e…symbolizes the world ‘as we know it’ today, full of chaos and havoc…the music gets a little crazy both tonally and rhythmically)
Gravity simply depicts everything ‘going downward’, time signatures shortening (Latin section, starts 9/8, then 4/4, then 7/8), all melodies are always in a downward feel, blah blah blah. Just wanted to explain this beforehand in a footnote-type manner. Anyway, these are our two newly recorded songs, and we’re obviously an instrumental progressive/metal band. We actually just can’t find a singer so we decided to do a CD like this in the meantime (but we are looking)…anyway hope you enjoy. Feedback is welcome/appreciated. (Our entire CD is very concept-based like these two songs, and the other songs are all cohesive from a thematic standpoint…aka a concept album or whatever).
We're not all just metal or w/e...we have some latin...ambience...classical..just give a listen...the heavier song is The Beginning, the more diverse song is Gravity.
EDIT: We had to reduce the quality drastically in order for 'The Beginning' to fit on MySpace...it's a 10 minute song...and, the MB limit is 10 on MySpace...so I apologize...
