"The Forest" is my first attempt to take the Matt Pike, High on Fire, Sleep influences and add them to my songwriting. My songwriting is typically Blues/Rock with some small elements of Prog Rock. I was looking to expand on those elements and add an extreme sub genre of Metal that I've been listening to more these days - DOOM Metal.

DOOM Metal is typically slow tempos, low tuned guitars, a thick "wall of sound" and heavier lyrical topics. 

I also experimented more with the mixing of this song. I've been listening to the Tool albums mixed by Joe Barresi especially their most recent collaboration "Fear Inoculum". Joe is a master at creating space in his mixes by pushing and pulling different elements in his mixes. He achieves an incredible amount of motion and depth for the listener. I'm trying to use some of his techniques in my mixes.

I hope you enjoy this first demo. I'll be adding another song "Digging a Hole" very soon.

Leave me a comment on what you think about "The Forest"

Thanks for listening!

Witches chant and laugh at me

Listen closely hear them sing

Breaking bones and sharpening teeth

Gom jabbar feel it's sting

In The Forest

The Forest

Full moon bright night like day

Evil creature spreads its wings

Wolf is hunting for his prey

His cold eyes see all of these things

In The Forest

The Forest

Praying underneath the trees

Hear the sound of weeping

Rising up from my knees

Forgotten son takes his beating

In The Forest

The Forest

Son of Jackal it's your turn

A new dawn a new word

Set the fire let it burn

Feel the power Sorcerer

In The Forest

The Forest

In The Forest

The Forest
