(Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

[TwilightOdyssey]

The other song I posted still needs some work, so here is another song from the same sessions. The song is titled Squadron.

SQUADRON

Riding high, sweeping the skies
With steel and tracer fire
Through clouds of white, formation tight
Climbing ever higher
Pinpoint lights beat back the night
And mark the funeral pyres
Another day, it’s bombs away
Guide the bombers out

Move as one – look for the rising sun
Move as one – the Thunder God’s own
Move as one – this mass of metal and guns
Move as one – to make it back home

(Solos: BA/JP/BA)

Night so black you feel the flak
Explode but never see
Wings they strain above terrain
That holds the enemy
Escorts to death, inferno’s breath
The hammer blows resound
To Gods below some comrades go
Spiraling to ground

Move as one – look for the rising sun
Move as one – the Thunder God’s own
Move as one – this mass of metal and guns
Move as one – to make it back home

Re: (Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

i like the music. real good, but i'm not too fond of the 80's style vocals. i wasn't too fond of it back then either, so maybe it's just me. you should check out the old flotsam and jetsam stuff.

Man! That siren kicks ass. Loving these cool additions :laugh2:

PJs doubling up on her vocals for a line - KICK ASS!

Guitar tracking kicks arse - the breakdown before the solo at 2:50 - really enhanced. Love it.

Will get back to you on more.

I'm going to get those PSDs to you when I'm up late.

Re: (Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

i must say that the stream isnt the best quality... didnt listen to the mp3 either, cos it's encoded in 128 bit and i find the soundclick compression quality lacking.

but the wav kicks major amounts of ass!!! the mix is a touch too hot, but ben already knows that

Re: (Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

Damn, nice work!! Really enjoy that track. Very european metal feel for me. I have been trying to track down a killer siren sound, love that one you have.

That riff ending the solo is great.

This reminds me of basment keggers, I would go to back in the 80s, dark and dingy basements, with the metal just pounding the walls down.

kev, I think that's the nicest thing someone every said about my music!!

Re: (Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

Hearing the version on my Winamp rather than a stream at lower volumes - I gotta say that you were right about those sirens. :bigok:

Pinch at 3:06 sounds awesome.

I use an English sound effects library for most of my sampling these days,

http://www.sound-effects-library.com/

The samples are expensive but worth it. There are several great air raid sirens on there that can be used and don't sound like the one I chose. (I chose a specific type of siren from a BBC field recording made in the '30s; there are also Italian, French, and other air raid sirens.)

Re: (Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

Ben, that sounded fantastic. I don't know what you mean about it being too "hot" though - whatever that means (too modern?). I thought is sounded just fine - or perhaps I just like "hot". Great tone, vox, solos, drums. All around a nice nice effort.

Now Git 'er dun!

Re: (Another) New TWILIGHT ODYSSEY Song!

Sounds freaking awesome Ben.

I might bring PJ's vocals down just a touch especially the first verse but other than that deadly stuff.
