Something Old and Something New (Re-animator)

Re-animator is the title of our latest effort. For this song I decided to sing in some different areas I have yet to try, as well as utilizing some older vocal styles I haven't used in a while. I wanted to use my voice tone to help aid in visualizing the atmosphere around what was happening in some other way than just with words. I wanted the song to have a dark ominous feel to it in the verses by utilizing more baritone. In the chorus I wanted to convey the struggle of identity with tense and relaxed, coarse and calm vocalizing while maintaining fluidity from each line to the next. The guitar for this one is mostly fuzz distortion palm muted off and on...pretty basic what I call "me guitar". It works well with just about everything, and it's kind of my go to sound as its compliments my voice pretty well- that and growing up every song I enjoyed had the same thing, "fuzzy palm muting off and on", so its now engrained in my musical DNA to use it as often as humanly possible!

Re-animator is about a town somewhere dark and old where a mad scientist lives who re-animates the dead from time to time. The scientists minions bring him a girl who has just died and he re-animates her. The girl, now resurected and programmed to do the mad scientists bidding, has somehow retained a portion of her own thoughts and she is at war with herself trying to come to grips with her new self.
Super neat sci fi tradgedy...good stuff. Check it out!
