My First Official Recording

[WhiffleBallTony]

So I decided today that I should just record something for real and put it on Last.fm. I did so and the track came out well, in my opinion. It's a mix of stoner/doom metal and drone metal. I thought you guys might enjoy it.

It sounds pretty good man! You have a lot of great riffs, but it could use some drums/other tracks.

hey tony, this would sound all kinds of phat-boss-crunk with a drummer (who can also kick up some mean drones himself to accompany yours).

I'm waiting to get a drum set (soon!). I recently discovered the land of Drop C tuning and the C blues scale and have realized how incredibly easy it is to make stoner metal riffs. I tried using the drum tracks that you had sent me for some of the riffs, but found that they were a little bit different stylistically than what I had written. Ultimately, I decided to just record some improvised riffs and go Earth style with no drums or anything. The beginning definitely needs some better tone but I really like my drone in the middle. It sounds good, and I'm not just trying to brag.

I'm listening through your stuff now, it's not too bad, considering I don't listen to stoner metal. I would recommend learning the other scales in the key of C(D dorian, E phyrigian, ect).

Great tone, riffs could be sharper and faster. Add a layer of feedback and this could be potentially perfect.

It's pretty good, I definitely liked it a lot. I don't think it needs drums, but a few cymbal hits here and there wouldn't hurt.

you meant to say "needs hip-hop beats", right?

Oh yeah, definitely. Especially the outro. Some mad beats would really bring the house down, yo.

It could definitely use drums. I would be prepared to supply some if it wasn't for Israel and recording limitations and my sucky drum skills, haha. Some pretty kickass riffs. Definitely Sleep-influenced.

Oh man, if you lived anywhere near Pennsylvania I'm always open to the career of drummer, haha.
