Tolwyn releases new song — Rusty Tampon

Sigh. DB is down again:

A song I originally started to write in 2013 after going to a Five Finger Death Punch concert. I found their songs good, but they were pretentiously overly-angry for no reason and exhibited an attitude that just didn't resonate with me.

So, I just made... this.

3 years later, I listened to it again, shared a "quick mix" with Klem and Jimmy, and decided it was worth it to master it and release it.

Let me know what you think.

I like the melody (though repeats a bit much in the middle), I dig the sound of the drums a lot... but the timbre/mixing of the guitars make them feel like they're behind a foam curtain or something, while the drums are crisp and in your face.

That said, I am largely biased against heavy metal and its subgenres as a sound I just don't enjoy

Not the kind of stuff I'm usually into, but definitely good. Very different from anything I've heard.

Crusty Tampon would be a better name.

This is awesome, Tolwyn - Catchy and groovy, but also aggressive. Highly listenable and zero wank. Great job man, I dig it.

If you do decide to make a MIDI of it, that would be sweet. I know I'd be using it in the map01 spot next time I start working on a map pack.

I'd gladly use this track. Great work.

I agree with Doomkid, definitely enjoyed listening to this one and I think it could easily be a great track for an action-packed map.

that's Noice..
