....never quite happy with how things stand, I recently recorded a pair of new experimental guitar tracks, with this one being my favorite of the two:

https://soundcloud.com/#phrygiandom/black-winter

I guess I would classify it as "Symphonic Metal" of sorts.  The rhythm guitars come in after the string intro.

Additionally, I will be providing a companion "Anatomy of a song" video that details everything that went into creating this particular track.  This will include structure, amp settings, drums, mic techniques/placement, EQ'ing, mixing & mastering. 

I'm by NO means a recording "expert", but i have figured out a thing or two along the way.  If anyone's interested, please send me a private message.

Nicely done - I like the "wall" of sound from the guitar(s) . . .

I have a couple of questions when you have time:
Is your MP2 modded and what tubes are in it ?

thanks -

I've encountered this problem with Soundcloud before...and i don't have a solution.  I've heard that refreshing the screen can sometimes help.  You can also try: http://soundcloud.com/phrygiandom/black-winter  Other than that, the only other thing i can suggest is doing a search for Black Winter on the Soundcloud homepage. 

The other track, also along the same lines but with different samples, is "Playtime":

I used my Mark-IV for the rhythm guitars.  My MP-2 is unmodded, with what I believe are JJ tubes.  Though I don't utilize the MP-2 for recording metal rhythm guitars, I DO have a really nice patch that sounds very "Rectifier-ish".
