I like this alot Hog, i'd like to hear more of the multi layered Ulver style vocals on it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my tune. Your comments made my day!

The proper version of this will have buckets of vocal layers..and King Ghidorah, Ulver are one of my favourite bands!

Cool tune! It sounds ethereal indeed, though the nervousness of some of the vocals (the higher parts particularly) bugged me a bit. That may have been intentional though, as they do sound quite ethereal, but I figured I'd mention it anyway. Good work!

It's nice. Nice vocal layering!
I'd use a thinner pick if I were you. The pick hitting the strings is very obivous on the recording.

ADD...

2 very good points about the pick and also the vocal parts where I struggle.

The vocal part was done in one take so when I record it properly, I will make sure I can hit the notes (or try lower notes)

Thanks for your comments guys.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply you didn't hit the notes. It was more the way it was sung; it seemed far too 'gentle' or quiet singing I suppose, more noticeable on the higher parts. I just think you should maybe sing it more forcefully-- Not to say that you should do it in Full Metal Fervor (TM), I just think the vocals sound a bit too nervous in some parts.

Ah! Ok.

This is very rock n roll....

I sang it quietly because my neighbours would think Im crazy, hearing me singing to myself lol.

When they go out next time, I will sing it with some balls

hahaha! that is one of the most serious problems of underground music at the moment

a while ago, german rock hard magazine printed a construction manual for a "shoutbox" some reader had sent in. it's basically a large, well isolated chest whith a mike in it. maybe you should consider the building of such a thing

Yes the recording of vocals while other people are at home can be rather embarrassing, but i've learned to just go for it. They may indeed think you are a loony but at least you'll be a loony with great vocals on your tracks :lol:
