A thrashy little number that helped write itself after the initial riff was tracked.
The writing process was something I have been experimenting with where I started with laying out some trashy drums for the first couple of riffs and then tried to catch the beat and go from there. The first two riffs came from the first few loops over those drums then the breakdown and solos followed quickly after.
Full disclosure: this version of this track is from mid-January this year as I was warming up for FAWM.
I had intended to rework this a bit and have noodled with it over the last week in between other things. Never got to a version I liked more than this initial version. The solos could be tightened up but I kinda like the immediacy of them falling apart in spots.

"Thrashy little number" does not lie. The rhythm section is playing the music of my twenties, carefully distilled, honed, polished and buffed to a fine shine. Growly bass is just what the doctor ordered and those guitars are getting the job done, rough edges and all.

Brutal! Nice to hear a low end on metal. Headbang-worthy!

Indeed trashy. You need a strong vocalist either somebody who can belt real heavy or doing smashing screams. These heavy riffs deserve them!!

Love this thrashy guitar riff! The drums + bass break is also awesome. Congratulations!

Yes for bass solos! Rawk!! I love how you lead that section with bass!

Great riffs! The first half of this was especially satisfying love the crunchy rhythm tone

Great blend of thrashy and melodic. I love how parts drop in and out throughout, it keeps the whole thing interesting on a dynamics level. Plus, you really know how to write a catchy riff! Several of them, in fact. I dig how this song starts in 1 place and then goes like 5 more places, but they all work as a cohesive whole.

That was a fun ride. The lead guitar tone is so dirty and expressive.
