  • Think you all know the drill by now.
    Also Covid-19 timeline has been extremely busy for me, so to show some presence decided to do an ''easier'' (clears throat) kind of track.
    I am currently bass - working on the next album chapters by Ingurgitating Oblivion, Sacral Rage and Violent Definition.
    Be on the lookout for these, cause I strongly believe they'll be pinnacles of their respective subgenres.
    Songwise now, I've been trying to play less 16th notes, cause I am pretty sure Doug plays most of the comping stuff 8th notes. Still many fast passages nevertheless, and the interpretation isn't to fully simulate the original, so that's that!
    Moreover got an IG account so follow me on @chriszoukas, for some juicy bass practice snippets

    Thank you so much for sharing your performance ! This is truly impressive ! I saw Watchtower live in 2000. Great memories. Still remember when i discovered this album on tape in 1996 ! Slightly disturbed by the high-pitched voice, but completely blown away by the musicianship and the craziness of the compositions ! Cheers from France !

    i have never seen any of your videos and i was completely expecting someone to make a dreadful mess out of it.
    doug was a huge influence on my playing from back in the day.
    i had this demo from ron and it really lit a fire under me.
    i’m partial to the demo because of jason, but this is obviously a better recording.
    anyway.
    excellent performance and tone, man!
    as busy as it is, it has a ton of groove and you were right in there.
    most impressed.

    You probably know this already, but Watchtower will be at Houston Hell's Heros festival in March next year. And.....Solitude Aeturnus! and Helstar! Three bands I followed back in the 80s - early 90s. Check out the bands!
    My GF bought us tickets already for my Christmas present.

    Texas native.....Watchtower fan......Thanks! People just don't know. I wish they had professionally recorded more stuff live. It's just all in my head now and I sound like an idiot to whoever has never heard of them.

    Wow, do you translate by ear or do you have a tablature you’re able to look up? Either way you’re a fantastic player. Also, when you record are you simply combining camera footage with your instrument recordings into one video format? I always wanted to record myself playing but I only have a Scarlett solo, I’m not sure what program to use to record my bass playing. Anyways, sorry for the long-winded comment, grind on man! 🤘
