Apocalypse - Rock Song

Hi guys, here's a wrote song I composed and recorded. Would enjoy hearing your thoughts. Thank you!

Hello @Aled Edwards,

I know nothing about rock music. I love the Eb minor verse and the Bb mixolydian/dorian chrous. The sound effect is interesting for me. The mood is quite excited I would say. Your vocal is more tenor and thin and make the song ironic!

Thx for sharing!

Henry

Thanks Henry

Cool music Aled

I like the alt-rock feel this has. Your voice reminds me of Les Claypool; I like the laugh part and the Beck-like rapping or talking sections. Cool drum parts and the guitar work is catchy. 

I love the guitar solo, nice wah moments before the gain really kicks in. The fast part at 3:25 was good, I would have maybe ended your solo with that, or extended the faster sections to the end, because it felt like it was about to build some energy but then just died. The tones are all great too. You had some nice moments with vibrato on held notes, I would have maybe added subtle vibrato to more of the notes though. I was once told to always add at least the slightest vibrato to any held note, and I'm a firm believer in that. That's just nitpicky though, I had to find something critical to say 😄

Nice work, and thanks for sharing this. I'm looking forward to more songs of this style by you!

Thanks! Yeah, I agree with you on the vibrato, I have a tendency to overdo it when I play live/normally, but I think I went a little bit too far in the opposite direction when recording this, ah well. Cheers for listening

I love this!  Great job!  Would you post the lyrics for the members at large to be able to follow along with the lyrics?  I can't understand all the words in the recording.  But other than that the recording is really great!  Thanks for sharing!

Hi, thanks for listening! Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1:

Behind the wall, making a plan

To earn a buck, destroy the land

Take it to the street you gotta' show them what you mean, you wanna' let it out and maybe a cause a scene

Little did you know that it wasn't gonna' do it, they've broken up the planet, now you want to glue it

Pre-chorus:

You don't know what you're doing

Blinded by your greed

Chorus:

As I'm gazing at the sky,

I can see it's full of fire

My last day on earth, end of human kind

As the ending starts to rise

Verse 2:

Walking the streets, smoke in my lungs

Flickered out, everyone's done

woah this is incredible! Adding this to my playlist for sure. Your voice is incredible

@Aled Edwards Great song! Can I have a little more info about the time signature of the piece? I'm hearing a duple meter (2/2, 2/4) but can you clarify? I'm creating a short video around pulse and time signatures and this piece is a good candidate for the video.

Brilliant!
