Back Home - A New Original

[gregplaysguitar]

Hello Again all, I've got another new original from my band. Most of the issues still exist as far as the vocals go, from the last time I posted some songs. This is a studio recording (my moms living room with a mixer and a 4 track) but the mix turned out really good as far as the instruments are concerned. The only problem was the vocal mic for some reason didn't pick up very loud, so the original recording has good music but barely audible lyrics. So we tried recording another vocal track on top of the first vocals, and because of some pitch issues, some parts sound like he's possesed or something. But it turned out pretty cool overall. All of our original material can be downloaded at:

The first link above is to our site, the second is a direct link to the mp3. Enjoy, and feel free to comment. But be advised, I'm well aware of the vocals being slightly out of tune, and the singer sounding demonicly possesed.

Thanks guys.

good stuff

AWESOME! i know an asian song that sounds similar to this.

I love this. Very upbeat. i was surprised when it starts playing. I do think though the melody in the vocal needs improving. This is a fast song, it'll be good imo to hear upbeat vocal after the first verse you did.

Anyone else?

I'm not going to comment on the vocal performance.

I will however comment on the vocal as it relates to the song. I agree with Tran, this would be much better with a faster paced almost staccato vocal. Something that has the same bouncy feeling as the music. The drawn out wails should be used more sparingly. That being said the music seems pretty dememnted to me (in a good way) so maybe it's not such a bad thing that the singer sounds possesed. You might be able to use that to your advantage.
Cool song. Good to hear some music with more of an edge to it.

Thanks MWR, much appreciated, I think you have some good ideas as far as the melody goes.
