James Van Cleaf - Louder Than Reality [Progressive Death Metal](2019)
This track was very difficult to work on due to the psychologically challenging nature of the place it came from. I can only hope trying to analyze and express some highly uncomfortable states reaches some of you and makes you feel less alone.

LYRICS:
The soul imprisoned
Freedom paradox
Death would be better than this, I'm sure
This is not what I had meant to become
Thoughts born in isolation
Louder than reality
Compulsions make me sick
Thoughts left to fermentation
Intoxicating me
End it all
This was supposed to protect me
Can you see me?
The world is off
Lost myself in self-discovery
Vibrant colors have become gray
Is this dream impossible?
This was supposed to protect me
Can you see me?
The world is off
Thoughts born in isolation
Louder than reality
Compulsions make me sick
Thoughts left to fermentation
Intoxicating me
End it all
End. It. All.

      Hey! I have an AXE FX II also, what are some of your tips for recording heavy distortion using it?

    • @JamesVanCleaf
      @JamesVanCleaf 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of the same principles mentioned here apply. I've gotten some really good tones by keeping the amp gain low and relying on overdrive for more of the distortion. There's usually some harsh scratchiness in the upper frequencies to be LP filtered or notched out, but not as bad as how it was using the free VSTs. The Axe FX II gives you the potential for way better source tones that don't require much EQing. beyond filters.
