I've been working on other projects recently and Digestion was on the back burner for a few months, but then I got some great new drum software (EZdrummer with the Drumkit from Hell expansion from Toontrack - really excellent stuff) and it lit a fire under me to write some more. So I put together a brand new track for all my salivating fans.

I'm not a metal vocalist, so unfortunately I was unable to put vocals on this. I even wrote some decent lyrics and tried to record them because I think this song is begging for a vocal part, but it sounded horrible and hurt my throat. Anyone want to record some vocals for me? Internet collaboration is awesome.

New song! I saw Meshuggah last month and attempted to write a Meshuggah-ish part in the middle of this song, and it ended up sounding nothing like them. But I like it anyway. I don't know where that last riff came from. I started this one by trying to expand a half-song I wrote a really long time ago called "Bone Dry Waterslide," but as I wrote more, I realized most of that song didn't really fit what I like playing these days, so only a tiny fragment of that original song made it into this final one.

I didn't make a cover for this one. Use the one from the last post, since I'm tagging all these mp3s with the album name "Don't Stop Bereaving," since that title cracks me up.

I recorded "Don't Stop Bereaving" on March 8th, 2009. It was written about a month ago, I think. These songs are going to be compiled on an album at some point, but I'm putting them online whenever I finish them to please my burgeoning fanbase. I'm also whipping up album covers with very little thought or care, so feel free to ignore them if you'd like.

"Chart the Course of the Machine Gun Alibi" is the first new song that I've recorded since Hellevator. It's a little bit of a different direction. Expect lots more blasting in future songs, because I've been listening to way too much Discordance Axis. I've got a couple more written that I need to tweak and record. I hope to post them in the next couple weeks.

Recorded at Ande Grande Studios (that is, my apartment) on February 22, 2009. Feel free to comment with your thoughts. Also, if anyone wants to do vocals for this project, send me an email and we'll talk.

this is the first post

This blog is a digital home for the music I'm making these days. I don't particularly like Myspace and I hope this can replace it for my stuff. All the music I make will be freely available as mp3 downloads.
