The Symptom, Not the Cause (WIP) | AlphaStorm

Don't be fooled by "WIP," the entire track's arrangement is done, and every part is ready. I just wanted to release an early version since this simply cannot wait too much longer. That said, there's still a lot of work to do on the track as a whole, since I will not be the only one performing it. Yes, there will be other musicians on it, including some incredible vocals by an incredible friend.


Anyway, this is a song about burnout. I wrote it in March after I decided to go on a break from my YouTube stuff, in hopes to ease up my stress levels. I'd been really burnt out, it felt like I was getting nowhere, so I needed a break to figure out all my shit. And in doing so, I've been way more active here, as you've not doubt seen, but it also meant I could focus on other, arguably more important projects like Vengeful Spirit and starting a new project that will probably be in the works for actual years. This song was just how I felt in the initial weeks after I stopped weekly uploading. And I think what came out is my best track to date... which is sure as fuck saying something! I can't wait for you guys to hear the rest of it!

the instrumentation sounds neat with how the guitars and synths come all together. The drums have an enjoyable groove to them. A nice overall atmospheric rock track.
