The Journey Can Begin (progressive metal / post rock song)

Featured Replies

Hey guys. Here is a song I wrote and recorded for a challenge in a community I'm in. The task was to write a song that was an interpretation of this image (the one in the video). I performed the guitars and bass, and programmed everything else. I did some sound design on this too. What I ended up with was a progressive metal / post rock kind of sound. Love to know what you guys think!

(PS: the production and tuning is a bit rough in some spots and I think I will rerecord this song)

Hi @SorooshMHS,

I like your usage of Bb minor herevfor this foggy image, as it has sort of nihilism in it. I know nothing of rock music but the music is cool for me. Thx for sharing!

Even though it's a short track, I think you should add at least one more main melody with the lead guitar which by the way sounds great! This way you will add more variations and increase the interest of the listener to listen to it until the end without it becoming monotonous. But in general it is a good musical work.

Thank you Henry, glad you liked it! Bb minor was a strange key to write in, I won’t lie. Especially for guitar

Thank you for listening Nikolaos. I’ll make sure to consider your suggestion, when I rerecord the song!

My favourite section started around 1:49, really good melody here, although I like the rest of the song as well. Nice atmosphere and ambience to the song on the whole and the quite section towards the end broke it up nicely. I think you could develop it a bit more, maybe another section with a change in chord progression or something along those lines? Just an idea though.

Hey Aled thanks so much for listening and the feedback. glad you liked it! I think I might add another section at the end of this when rerecording it, I'll link what I have in mind. so it'll go into this and have a proper ending instead of the fadeout that's there atm

I think the video would be even better if the graphics were moving.
