Hail my minions! It is I, Moros, the Greek god of Doom, who feels it is required of me as your muse to bless you with the boons of my incestuous love between bass and vocals. It is time, after the long decades of my silence to let forth the true essence of all that is doom. Bask, wallow, and decay in the misanthropic tones and mixes between highs and lows, the guttural echoes that tear at the human and sub woofer soul. Only in my majesty can true knowledge of suffering be learned.
The Woes of Angelo-Demonic Suburbia and Caught in the Temporal Riffs of Time
Okay, seriously now, my friend and I did this as an free "funeral doom" improvisation piece. I'm on bass running a Rickenbacker 4003 through a metal muff and a Ashdown 1-15'' 180 Watt amp. My friend was on the mic that was going line in to my computer (no effects) that I had to overplay to get heard in the mix. Playing about 5 minutes, post production took about 3 seconds, cut out 30 seconds of us fooling around, and added about +12 dB to boost the sound a bit. Lets just say its interesting?
The lyrics
Cobblestone gaps
Plant life emerge
Unwanted weeds.
Weak roots grasp into
unused soil. Chocked by masses,
The sun bakes and life
withers
away.
created by yours truly in about 10 minutes while bored in calculus.
BASK MORTALS

Nice. I think the vocals have potential but they need a little work. I like the atmosphere of it too. The vocals seem to be a little too loud compared to the music itself though. Definitely a good start.

Eric (the voclist) has only been working on his harsh vocals for about 2-3 weeks now. I really like where he is at considering the time he has put into it. I have a friend currently at Basic Training who hopefully should be back in the next month who can fill out the lineup with a guitar and Xasthur-esque vocals. Between us three we actually might be able to get stuff done. The primarry problem with these though is that it is done on a whim, and really a lot of funeral doom has a lot of post-production and layering thrown into the mix. Between a vocalist and a bassist there isn't much to layer, so it doesn't carry any of the depth that it could if I had a guitarist.
As mentioned: the system was this me + amp, vocalist into the Mic, Mic line in-ing into the the computer. Did I mention the mic was the type of one you would find black metallers using for their latest bathroom recording? I had to far outplay Eric to be heard in the mix as is, but we both agree with you. If anything in the future I might lay down a few tracks (if we really plan it out) and then let him go apeshit over it. But I don't think it would be nearly as fun as we wouldn't be doing something retarded.

Go out and find one of those really cheap 2" zen gongs they sell in those little boxes at like Barnes & Nobles and stuff and buy one, and use one of those for your percussion.

I have a full drumkit in my basement to use. I can easily add on a sparse drum track under things. Again, look at the timeline in which this was made. We were hardly trying to be serious, it was an attempt to see where our starting point was.

We were hardly trying to be serious, it was an attempt to see where our starting point was. This is a good starting point especially since you were just messing around.

Eric and I have begun working on our second masterpiece, this one is actually going to be composed.
Total instruments conceived of so far
Drums (already know what I am playing for the main body, symbol oriented thing)
Acoustic guitar intro and outro (have the intro done, and the outro to the piece will be the same thing for the most part)
Bass
Electric guitar for the body
[Possible] Electric Keyboard on an organ setting
Vocals
I have to do all of the instrument tracks separately. But I'll post it up when its done, should be by sometime at the end of this week. Its my sanity between working on finals projects (done with Highschool at the end of the week).
The track will be called "Basking In the Light of Dawn as the Demons of a Past Age Fade and the Revelries of the Future Unfold"
Lyrics
Birds float over
black sea air. Talons
sink into aluminum
coffins. Pink flesh
Caught
against the sky, illuminated
by florescent light.
