I put this together with my brother whilst I was over in Wales for six weeks staying with my foamily and meeting my friends there. After doing Family and Road Trip I asked my brother to do enough cord sequences (heavy type this time) for two tracks, I then kept this structure to finish when I got back to Malaysia.

Total time spent on this track has been considerable. This song is unusual as the further in the song goes the more a dark wave type synth track merges which seems to work with the heavy distorted guitars and lead guitars. The outro sounds almost completly different despite it being the same as the intro and verses in the song. I added synths and rapid tom beats to up the exactment on the exit instrumental.

The vocal bridge was quite fast moving chord sequence wise and I thought I would like to try a rap over it this is the first time doing rap on a single I produced myself. This song is social commentary on the warmachine but like with other songs I leave the interpretation to my listeners rather than giving my take on the song.

The vocals are delibratly more live fealing I wanted a rougher edge to the recording on the production side. I tried for maximum emotion on this one so I wanted it to feel more RAW. The heavily vocoded chorus/transition is the opposite with that though I added some dissonance deliberately to the mix. I wanted to see if this would work in a hybrid metal track. If it did I felt that the raw Lemmy Motorhead style performance might stand out more as a juxtaposition with the Vocded vocals,

I recommend A Mad Titan if you like this track as though both sound different they deliberately sound like they could be made by the same band. https://youtu.be/_00Gf3AvPRg

All guitars and bass were played using the LTD Viper 300m, PRS Guitar and the LTD B254 bass. Dale Jones used a Gibson type guitar for Rhythm Guitar. Everything else bar vocals from the AKAI MPC live 2. I also used the MPC Live 2 to produce mix and master the track.
