Favorite Chord: C 6/9
Normally I'm a country songwriter, but last week out pops a classic gloom and doom metal tune called "Skydown".

Please take a listen and tell me what you think, mix-wise, song-wise, performance-wise, whatever...

The guitars are a Fender American Telecaster and an EBMM Silhouette.
The amps are a Dr.Z Carmen Ghia and a Tech 21 TM10
The pedals are a Xotic BB and a Bad Monkey.
The bass is a EBMM Sterling through a M80 bass pre.
The drums are a free soundfont I found somewhere.
I perform everything (except drums).
Mic's are a SM57 and a C1.
Recorded with Sonar.

Let me know what you think!

I love the cheesy metal lyrics :D The guitar sounds a little 'scratchy' (not really sure how to word what I mean) when it's solo'd (around the 30 second mark), it just seems a little thin to be standing on its own. Other than that I like it though, there's some interesting bass going on underneath all that. Nice and simple, very understated. Bear in mind that I'm listening through crappy laptop speakers, so the tinnyness in the guitars I'm hearing could be coming from there.
 
Haha

Quite Megadeth-ish.:D

Yeah, the distortions are rock-ish, so are the vox.
The funky-clonky bass-sound is nice.

...I'd be prone to call this progressive-hard-rock rather than Metal.:cool:

nice though, plaing ain't bad at all.:D
