dude this is so sick

As some of my listeners may know, I like to mix things up every now and again. Well I've had the urge to write some super heavy orchestral metal type stuff for a while now and finally got around to working on it! When writing the music and lyrics for this song, the theme I was going for was the idea of a man being lured to Dracula's castle and witnessing the horrors within - the castle being the "Lair of the Damned" per the song title. Hope you guys enjoy!
Special thanks to Metaljonus for contributing his sweet lead shredding skills once again over this song, including the epic divebombs towards the end!

holy shit
Damn dude. This is incredible. I really, really like your snare bombs. Dunno if you made them yourself or used a plugin/sample but they're VERY strong. Same with your drop sub tones, those are great.
I also love the tones you're getting out of Nolly, that's what I use too and it's a goddamn beast. So much range for a sim, it's incredible. You're really pushing it hard in this track too.
The orchestral elements meld well and are never overpowering, just additive. It's great.
Can't forget to mention my boi @metaljonus who just absolutely murders those solos. If there's a guy on NG whom everyone should aspire to solo like, it's him.
This song could easily be dropped by Chelsea Grin or someone equivalent and it would 100% fit. Fast, aggressive and snarly with solid production.

Aye thank you so much for the love and feedback! So the snare bomb started w/ a regular snare sample that I just threw some reverb, comp, and EQ on to get it to sound huge without clashing with the snare from the drum tracks. Sub drops I pulled from a Panda Sound sub drop pack I believe.
The Neural DSP plugins are sooooo so good! Just started recording DI recently and been using Nolly / Gojira. Hard to beat those amp sims!
That's actually the 2nd Chelsea Grin comparison I've gotten on this lol but was about my vocals, tall praise to be considered on their level - thank you!
Hell yes!
BeyondOurEyes responds:
Thanks for the love homie! <3
