Hey, how would you classify this...

Eleventh Hour

I'm currently in the process of lengthening the song to about 5 minutes and adding a few more parts/surprises...hope to have that finished in a week or so.

Now that my main band has semi-officially retired, I have more time to really work on my own material and this seems to be what I am coming up with. It is amazing what you can do in the privacy of your own bedroom these days \:D

Sounds sorta industrial-metal-ee to me. Those drums are awfully crunchy, though, particularly the hats.

And yes, it is amazing what you can do in your own bedroom these days. \:D

Vegetarian?? Hmmm...I'll make sure I throw in some meat and potatos as I continue to work on it \:D But I like the progressive allusion...I think I was going for an OSI sorta vibe...

During the metal part I added a gated distortion to the drums, to give it more of an industrial feel. I suppose I could back off of it a bit...

I would back off it a bit. The cymbals are so crunchy, they sound like white noise.

I can hear some OSI and Fates Warning in there as well. Interestingly enough, Fates Warning has a song called "The Eleventh Hour". I'm the worst at trying to categorize music, but it has elements of ambient (metal), industrial, and progressive hints. Nothing wrong with any of those in my book.

Ha! Good call on the Fate's Warning song name, I didn't know that. Crap, now I have to change the name. Rich, I'll take comparisons to those bands any day!

One of the things I am running into as I try to expand the song is recapturing/maintaining the same vibe that I got the night I put this all together. It's wierd, and a challenge. You know, you get into a zone for a brief period of time and everything just happens almost without thinking about it. Then the next day when you try to get back into it, it is tough.

Well, I didn't mean to imply you had to change the name of the song. Only that when I saw the title that's what I thought of first. I'm sure there are countless other bands/artists using that as a title as well. It happens, just so long as you don't borrow any of the music, I don't think there is any problem ;\)
