I had a few very bad days... two close family members went to hospital on the same day.. five of my colleagues got fired... it all felt unbelievable to be happening at the same time... I had to get my frustration out in this very short heavy metal track...

I'm not a big heavy metal fan, but I like parts of this, the chugging guitars panned left and right are pretty cool.

I didn't know BIAB had heavy metal realtracks to be honest, so I learned something new.

I like how you don't stick to one genre, you are always switching it up. Well done!

My oldest son is real into metal music, so I've had to listen to a fair amount and have learned to appreciate the high technical aspects of it. As well as I really like some of it. Nice way to express frustration. Well done.

Sorry to hear about your hardships - this really is a great tune though, you can really tell the tune was a way to vent. The guitars all flows really well, and it has the perfect level of aggression to it.

Hope things look up for you - thanks for sharing.


Cheers,

Nicely done - certainly evokes a frustrated feel. Don't hear the heavy metal tracks used very often.

Will,
Not a big fan of Metal myself, but I do understand it. It is done well. Both arrangement and mix is at pro level.
It reminded me of an experimental album of one Russian band that I was a big fan in my youth. What was interesting about the tunes in that album, they would start out similar to your "Bad Busy Days", but then they would go to complete release of tension, about half tempo of the drums and slow bluesy guitar in the same song. It was very interesting and emotional.

I hope problems that are possible to resolve - take turn for the better for your family and friends.

Best regards,
Misha.

I can feel the frustration pounding away in this piece. I hope writing the music gave you a bit of solace. Cool, rocking piece, by the way!

Hi all,

Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and thoughts - it really warms my heart!

Some of you mention that this is not your style... well, I can reveal that it is not my style either, but it just felt appropriate in the heat of the moment.

I will be a little less active on the forums until things are going better with my family members - hope you understand!

I hear you Will! Sometimes music is what pulls you through! Lonesome Dave Peverett of Foghat called it "Rock And Roll Therapy"! Hope better days are ahead! Good work by the way! Thanks, Torrey
