You know the TOOL comparisons, I actually hear it less on this record. More ISIS-ish for sure. Definitely TNBD-ish most of all.

I think some were actually saying Drew sounded like a tool on the forum rather than the record.

I'm curious do you / have you tried putting vocal lines to any of the tracks ?

Listen to 'Passing'

http://bridgedisaster.co.uk/track/passing

I've only got down to track 7 so far, so I will get there.

care to share details (maybe a different thread ?) on how you recorded this, what parts where done where and how, mixing, mastering etc, from the stuff I've ready you do %90 at least of this on your own

If people think it would be interesting, I could start a thread about the production elsewhere?

i would be. been working on some recordings for my band for ages now. always interested in people's approaches.

Bloody excellent @drew_fx.  Never been into Tool, so no idea if the comparisons are valid but this stands on its own anyway.

Impressed! Well done.

My tuppence worth; 

The good; Very impressed with the playing and production - that's some seriously good work.

The not so good; The tracks could benefit hugely from someone taking the drummer's crash cymbal off him - it overpowers every track for me.  The tracks are so similar I genuinely initially thought there was something wrong with the website and it still had the previous track loaded.  They're all in the same key too - which is tiring to listen to, especially when the bulk of each song is a, albeit very professional, noodle over that same chord.

You're undoubtedly excellent musicians, there are some great riffs and drum runs and it's put together beautifully, but the crash cymbal and the similarity between tracks means that on this occasion Drew, I'm out.

Drew_TNBD

Which crash cymbal? He has at least three of them!

hugbot

I like drum heavy mixes personally.

Emp_Fab

The one that's kicking my tinnitus off !  Seriously though, if you can, pull back the cymbals and see if gives the tracks a different vibe.  There's some great drumming going on there that's being hidden by the 'bashing the living shit out of the copper'.  I was trying to listen to the groove more clearly but it was a bit like going to a poetry recital with this bloke sat next to you...

Drew_TNBD

lol. Well I like it!

PolarityMan

FWIW the cymbals didn't jump out at me, I had a listen through last night but was doing other stuff in the background so I'll save comments for when I've listened properly.

First impressions were really good though.

I would be very interested in learning more about your approach, what you did, how you did it.

Drew_TNBD

Okay cool. I'll write something up.

hobbio

Actually, I'd be very interested in that too. You obviously know what you're doing.

Grunfeld

Listening to it now via bandcamp and "Antirazor" is my fave but it's also the shortest track which is a damn shame.
