#Godzilla

Click to Play Video

Godzilla has always been one of my favorite songs to play live. It's been part of the #OMEB set since day one. When I heard a new #Godzilla movie, #KingofMonsters, was being released this summer I knew it was the right time to record my take on one of my favorite songs.

This is the first song that I've fully recorded using my new #Fractal #AX8. I used the Marshall 800 #34 model with a #RichardFortus impulse for the guitars. You'll notice there is a very subtle low octave double on the leads. The drums were written by me in ACID Pro and ran through Superior Drummer 3 by Toontrack.

Upon finishing the recording I wanted to really expand upon the Japanese speaking that was in the original song. So I message two of my friends in Japan, Masami Hara and Patrick Dills. I gave them three separate 'news reports' to read that would be placed strategically in the song. I'm really pleased with the impact these had on the track. What do you think?

The Godzilla cover art was created by my dear friend, Vincent DePorter. Vincent is a world-renown comic artist who has drawn for DC Comics and most recently Spongebob Comics. The mixing and mastering was done by JR Taylor of Taylor Audio. JR is a gifted engineer/producer who works with many talented artists, most notably Todd Sucherman of STYX. 

The video was created using clips from the old films that I found only using Magix Vegas Pro Suite.
