Interesting.
I much preferred the more RPG-tune kind of things you did...

It killed me when at about 1:25 he sort of attempted to growl in pitches to match the guitar. :p
Seems more death metal than grindcore, but actually I like it. If you're still using your strat for this, that's a bloody heavy tone, unless you have a humbucker on there or just reallllly souped it up during mixing... Anyway, you two could make a fortune in the cheesy death metal scene if you wanted to, just listen to some of the "br00tal gr1m death metal" that's comin' out today... :p
EDIT: Are those drums still midi? Cause I swear that snare sounds pretty damn real alot of the time...

hehe, too many metal genres :)

It's a free >200MB percussion soundfont. The kick drums and toms in that soundfont are pretty bad, but the highhats and cymbals and stuff are great and it has a godlike snare. Actually four different keys have the snare drum being hit at different angles, and each of those has like 8 or 9 different velocity samples. Also has two snare rolls, but I prefer to roll my own :) Best free snare drum soundfont ever, hands down.
And yes, I'm still using my beat-up old strat knockoff. But it helps that I have a good microphone (Shure SM57), because you really need to mic an amp to get a good guitar tone. Plus recording once for the left channel and again for the right channel does wonders for thickening a guitar.

Actually, I dunno if grindcore qualifies as metal, or even music. :) Mainly it consists of songs that are about 1 minute on avarage, RARELY 'normal song' length (2 or 3 minutes), about 20-50 songs on an album, etc... Songs played INCOMPREHENSIBLY FAST, downtuned to GOD KNOWS WHAT, and vocals that are, like the guitar sound, completely incomprehensible. Oh, and blastbeats. Everywhere. :p
I guess you could say it's a more, erm, 'extreme' death metal. Anyway... Yes yes, too many genres in metal, I agree. Soon we'll have things like 'Disco-core Heavy grind-ballad metal.'
Anyway, I'll check out that soundfont. I've managed to get some pretty wicked drum samples over the years from combining various samples over time as I got them, tweaking etc... But while they've got a great and unique snappy sound they don't sound quite real... This should help.

Man I love cheesy death metal. This is great stuff. Your skill with fake drums is amazing. The guitar work is quite nice as well. I was always in a band and never had to worry about creating my percussion until now. Thanks for providing the link to that soundfont. Both of your recent songs have motivated me to get back to music writing.
