Queensryche/Ozzy/Angra style riff

[TwilightOdyssey]

Here's a rough demo of a new song I'm working on, inspired by Rage For Order era Queensryche, Bark At The Moon, and Angra (when it modulates to Eb Lydian). This grew out of my desire to have something a bit more 'power metallish'. It's in the key of Gm.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/twilightodysseymusic.htm It's called Gm RIFF.

Hehe, I can't really say much - thats total TO, man. And it rocks.
When a guitarist is instantly recognized, that is a sign of character.

Under the Black Flag - preamp clips *thumbs up*

Thanx, Bee!
Hopefully, PJ will like it and it become an actual song over the next couple of months.

This is a very rough sketch, and is basically every riff played through once. I've been working on the tune for about a month, and was finally able to weed through all the variations until I had a set of riffs I really liked. As it develops, I'm sure it will change and grow.

Checked my PMs and responded.

Re: Queensryche/Ozzy/Angra style riff

Nice track. I can definitely hear the old school QR coming through. Queen of the Ryeeeeeeche! Your singer will be able to pull that off well.

I liked the melodic bit at the end, catchy.

Many thanx, Matt!

Well, the riff got approvage, so now we go onto step 2: revising the demo to match the acutal arrangement. Then, if that goes well, I write the solo riffs and any other doo-dads. Step 3 is a demo of THAT revision!!!
