Making a Metalcore song in 1 hour. Easy, right? Maybe? Woah another relic of the past! The only reason I didn't upload this one was...because I forgot I think. That and the webcam lighting was terrible. But it was a fun bit nonetheless! I'm still working heavily on some important projects and commissions, so I got Depriety to edit this one for me as well! I will be back with new content, but I figure while this site is uh...doing it's thing, it'd be a good time to focus my attention on things that will benefit my career more. I will be back *very* soon though! But for now, I hope you enjoy this video of uh...Metal Boy Johnny. He's okay. Here is "Attempting to Make a Metalcore Song in 1 Hour"! I hope you enjoy!
