Here's a re-recorded and re-mixed version of my original djent song, Meet Your Maker!

I made the original version back in 2018, which you can check out here: youtu.be/qkbeZLrOz_I

~ * ~ about the song and stuff ~ * ~

So yeah, I originally wrote and recorded this song in August of 2018. To give some context, I had been a fan of BTBAM, Periphery, and Tesseract for a few years and I had just recently familiarized myself with Meshuggah. Although, I didn't really "get" Meshuggah until much later.

This was one of my first times doing a crazy, off-kilter metric modulation and I'm still really proud of it! That clean bridge section was originally written in one tempo, but I heard this drum fill in my head that was in a different one. I made it happen and it turned out really cool!

The original was recorded with my first guitar (a black RG321MH from 2008) and a Line 6 Spider IV. I sadly don't have either of those anymore, but I did get a natural finish RG321MH from 2009 to replace it. I also used Logic's Drum Kit Designer plugin for the drums originally.

For this new version, I re-recorded all the guitars/bass and replaced the drums with GetGood Drums.

For guitars, I used my Red preset for Archetype: Gojira (which you can download here: kadekalka.gumroad.com/l/rbcoos). As with the original, I didn't edit any of the guitar parts. I wish they were a bit tighter, but I just didn't feel like editing them lol.

For bass, I used the Ampeg SVTVR plugin from Plugin Alliance.

As I said before, I used GetGood Drums, but more specifically I used Modern Fusion for the snare and Modern and Massive for everything else.
