Existential Crisis - A Universe Within (Original Song) (Recorded 2010)

Written and Recorded in 2010 with my primary group A Universe Within, which at that time was under the original name and lineup known as Patterns. This was our first album called The Chosen and the fifth track on the album, Existential Crisis
I (Guy/JJ) handled all of the instrumental tracking on this album, as I recorded the instrumentals for this album prior to organizing this band. I also did all of the clean singing on this album as well. I was also handling all of the actual recording engineering and production of the album as well. Our lead vocalist Josh handled the screaming/yelling style vocals on the track.
Once the band was organized, initially as a 4 piece with me as the lone live guitarist, we tracked the vocals and released The Chosen album in December 2010 with our live show rotation starting in January 2011. We later became a 5 piece at the end of 2011 with a second guitar player and ultimately changed our name to A Universe Within in 2012, retroactively changing our previous material to the name A Universe Within as well.
This album was well received in reviews, especially in the UK for some reason, being a Mid-Atlantic US based band. We established a social media following under Patterns, but once we transitioned to the more technical and ridiculously long material under A Universe Within, much of that following died off over time and we retained the more musically-oriented crowd.
Overall, this was a fun track to record and play. Enjoy!
