Gargantua (first single from my science fiction inspired metal album)

Hi guys, just wanted to share the first single from my upcoming album. The album is entirely self produced, and is inspired by science fiction cinema.

A few bits of info about the creation process.

-Guitar used was my Ibanez Prestige RG2570z with DiMarzio Crunch Lab/LiquiFire pickups. Tuning was G#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#. I used Elixir Optiweb strings (.11-.49) but I substituted the low .49 with a D'Addario .64.
-Bass used was my Ibanez SR305. Tuning was G#, D#, G#, C#, F#. I used D'Addario XL strings (.145, .120, .90, .67, .50 gauges).
-ALL guitar and bass tones were from my Kemper. I am going to do a video in the next couple of weeks detailing the exact profiles I used for rhythms, bass, cleans and leads but for now I'll say that the primary rhythm tones are from a Peavey 5150 profile.
-All of the drums were programmed using GetGood Drums, and I will also likely do a video showing the exact samples I used.
-The project took about 12 months to finish, from starting to write the first song to printing the final masters.
-All of the keyboards were recorded using a MIDI controller, with some parts written by hand. I am not a keyboard player so this was mainly used as a composition tool.
-The full album will be released online on November 9th 2018.

Let me know what you think! Any questions let me know and I'll be happy to answer!

Thanks guys, all my other stuff is on bandcamp, and I recently put it all on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon etc etc so whatever platform you use you should be able to find it.

This project will be on all of those as well when I release it in early November!

*new thread created*

I might post it in its own thread in a couple of days!

Yeah so this album believe it or not was actually recorded in Eb but with the low Eb tuned down to a G#, so the two lowest strings are octaves apart.

Cool I will do that now. Thanks guys.

Hi guys, got one more bit of music to share here before the release:

This is the solo for my original song Reset The Day.

Originally inspired by the 2014 film Edge of Tomorrow, it is now dedicated to my dog Jax who died at the age of four shortly after I finished writing the song. I wrote the solo after he died.

The solo was recorded in one full take, and the video is from that recording. I filmed and played the solo about 100 times before I was happy with it. This is that recording.

First time I have written any music with anything like this in my mind but hopefully you guys enjoy it.
