    It's giving Monuments, a little. This is fun, definitely agree it has potential to really bloom

    • @matildagreene
      @matildagreene 4 месяца назад +6

      Definitely Monuments, especially since Browne has been using a lot of higher tunings for a while, the bouncy string skippy stuff, the deadnote pickscrapes etc

      Ah, this track reminded me of something I heard done only by Poh Hock in his songs. I think it could sound really sick if in a later section you had the riff guitar on the left and the chug guitar on the right. I know it sounds like a wonky weird idea, but idk, it could sound interesting, Poh Hock makes that stuff sound sick ahahah

    @natorious314 4 месяца назад

    Tons of Protest the Hero songs are in E or E flat, it can definitely be heavy. I like how much easier it is to get techy rhythm parts to come through clearly, but do also kinda yearn for at least a low A 😂

  • @anttispitkanen

    @bleedingrevenge12 4 месяца назад +1

    I think if you cut the third kick on the second and fourth set of three it would sound bouncier and connect with the second half more. So, instead of:
    d d d _ d d d _ x _ d d d _ d d
    d _ d d _ d d d x d d _ d _ d _
    it would be:
    d d d _ d d _ _ x _ d d d _ d d
    _ _ d d _ d _ d x d d _ d _ d _
    Extra rest added on 2& of the second bar for even more bounce.
