The. Is. The. PAAIINKEEEELLAAAAAAH

I thought maybe just something like a simple fast beat might be more effective than all those machine gun snare hits with a few crazy fills for effect? Could be worth a go.

Thanks for the advice mate, but if I had my way drumkits would have actual machine guns, mortars, reciprocating saw hats, jackhammers, that sort of thing. All played by King Kong after 20 years tutelage from flo mournier, george kollias and 10 kilos of crack.

I like the aggrassive mechanicalness of it. I'm not saying they're optimal, but its that sort of direction I want them to go in.

When I asked tim about them he said it gives the pickup more bass. I guess it offers more adjustability as well.

edit - dont suppose you can do any low gain clips of the tonelab can you mark? I'm still looking for a good modeller to take to uni and the tonelab LE seems good but I havent heard many convincing jcm800 style sounds.

I disagree, i think the drums sound fantastic for this piece.

Good go on the rest MDV.  I would say that you could amp up the other riffs a little bit, but that is only after my first listen.  I have things to do now, but i will comment later and give more feedback because i am sure i will listen to this another 3 or 4 times.  Its damn good.  Is this for a band thing or solo project?  I actaully think a vocal track would really give the song the extra oomph it needs - you know, accenting the vocals on the snare hits a la Morbid Angel's "Covenant."

The riff at 1.08 ish shows off the tightness of the PAINEEELAAAAH quite well, I think.

Could you show us (or me if I'm the only interested) something longer with just the guitar alone? :D

Nice job, but ain't my way...

Tryed to write it right and came again :?

Dammmn dude, this thing kicks ass!! Great sounding, monstrously tight and technical and original! Great job! I especially like this new part in second clip. $%&#in fantastic!

[Roobubba]

Seriously great riffage there, MDV!!!

Really loving the tightness and clarity of the Painkiller - and not to mention those of your playing too!
I like the direction you've taken it in. I was just thinking about what I would do from there, and I think I'd end up in a half time section (or quarter time, given the tempo already!) - but this I think wouldn't actually work for the track you've got - at least not the way it sounds in my head. Probably why I'm such an abysmal song writer!!

Keep it up, I'm really interested to see what you do with the rest of this track!  Love it :)

[HTH AMPS]

the new improved version is just that, even more sick and the drums are just mental - good work Mark.

reminds me of Botch a little, but obviously a bit more thrash metal in general.

[MDV]

Thanks muchly fellas!

Opp- its for a band in theory, but (I know this is such a cliche) I do, literally, all the work, all the writing, and we havent gigged yet, so in reality it a solo project. (Unless the other guys get off their arses and, like, I dunno, at least LEARN one of the songs. They're basically back-seat-musicians at the moment)

Tom - I'll see what I can do after I've finished this. I havent tried to get anything but clean and metal out of the TL yet. You can expect the attempt to be abysmal! (And as detuned as most of my stuff is - this is drop B)

Fernando -

Its a little sloppy (its all a little sloppy, most of these riffs are very new, and not entirely imprinted yet) but you get the idea. Its double tracked both sides (as is the entire thing).

[MDV]

Oh, roo - you must be phsychic - a quarter time section was always part of the plan!
