volume warning, may be loud!
This was a bit ambitious. More weird rhythms, time sigs, tempo changes, a polyrhythm section that was much harder to play than expected, writing a lot more guitar harmonies and running out of high notes on the neck! Ideally I would have double tracked the harmonies as well but I didn't have the time last night and I wanted to get this out. Many thanks for the kind comments so far! I am trying to get back to each of you as time permits. Onward!

You should put an electric guitar in Nashville tuning for a harmony guitar…I would love that in this genre lmao.
Your harmony game is incredible and your weaving in and out of dissonance is remarkable. You’re a super talented artist dude. I hope you hit me up sometime. Idk what we’d make but I can guarantee it’ll be weird…if that sways you 🤷🏻♂️

Who the heck makes this kind of music? I am asking in, like, the most positive way. Seriously impressive and creative.

Great track all around! Really dig the rhythms, but I was surprised at coherent and fun some of the melodies were. Impressive how you keep things moving without things feeling repetitive. Some Polyphia influence, maybe? (I'm not super well versed in modern metal, but I'm trying!)

Hearing your music this FAWM has been my happiest discovery. Your music plays bongos on my brain like "Rites of Spring." The bass under the clean section is fawnky.
You call it #deathcore in the tags. Are there bands that influenced your sound I should check out?

I don't generally go for deathcore exactly, but It's cool to hear a relatively low-gain tone for this style and I like the more restrained drumming compared to those guys who are always blasting. You dig Tosin Abasi?

Had to come back and comment on the clean section towards the end. It's a masterpiece!
Killing those harmonies out the gate!!! The guitar layers are big and beefy. Loving all the pragmatic prog magic going on!! Thos2 leads at around 1:30 mark going into that nasty dissonance breakdown slaps boy!
