Paul Wardingham - Enter The Metaverse

[SirNoumenonOfBass]

Just bought your album off of iTunes. I'm going to make all the metalheads of Florida buy and support your music via audible revelation after listening to your album! Keep it up man!!

[paulwardingham]

@SirNoumenonOfBass I appreciate your support mate Thankyou!

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

That lick from 2:31 - 2:52 has to be one of the most badass chops I've ever heard. I'm definitely getting my hands on The Human Affliction when it comes out!

[opethwalshy]

Mate, you are insanely good. Always nice to find another sick player. Toontrack drums on this? And did you mix it yourself? Cos if you did, you did a great job.

[paulwardingham]

@opethwalshy Thanks very much! Yes they are and yes I did mix it myself. Cheers!

[opethwalshy]

@paulwardingham Any plans to assemble a full lineup for this project and do any touring? I suppose you could even do a one man show with a laptop...

[RafaelBarba]

Very nice!!!!!

[ljevaine]

hey what are your settings in the noise gate of the lead tone? thresh decay please :) and in the stomp if you can tell me please :) greetings from chile :)

[jamesedwardtheobald]

nice to hear an emphasis on texture and mood in this kind of music, makes it more listenable than the typical metal notefests, kudos!

[jeremiahof]

I'm spreading your tunes everywhere that I can. Would love to see you on tour with Animals As Leaders, Scale The Summit, Scar Symmetry, etc....

[paulwardingham]

@jeremiahof Thanks for your support man. Cheers!

[SirMustis666]

watch?v=-yk7nb67OcI

That song is outstading!

[ChristianAlvestamFan]

Hey Paul! I have a question!

I have a 6 string guitar at the moment ( Ibanez SAS32EX) and i have been thinking over the past months on whether I should sell it and get a 7 string. I would think to get an Ibanez RGA7 or something along those lines. Do you think i should get a 7 string in trade for my 6 string?

[paulwardingham]

@ChristianAlvestamFan First of all I would suggest to get your hands on a 7 and make sure you like it. Essentially you can play everything you would on a 6 on a 7 so it's really down to whether you like, and think you will use the full range of a 7.

[Acidrain1993]

the very beginning sounds kinda like something off Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence... ;)

[18FrozenProductions]

Chirstian Älvestam vocal cover would be freaking awesome! He is the best vocalist that lives today, and Paul Wardingham is insane!! Would have been a happy moment in my life if that happened :D

[tamrielsOownOidiot]

I just listened to Ghost in the Machine and at about 3 minutes into this I bought your album hahah. Amazing stuff man, truly amazing. You have speed but with actual composition and your not just shredding to show off, awesome rhythm, great overall sound. I really hope I can play like this someday

[lud1s]

This song + good vocalist with intelligent lyrics = best track of Cyber metal... and probably a many others genres...

[kaylin1001]

Got any band plans? You´re an ideal band guitarist.

[paulwardingham]

@kaylin1001 Not at the moment, but I'm open to the idea. Cheers!

[kaylin1001]

@paulwardingham Think you should form one and start looking for as talented musicians as you. This whole futuristicmetal genre/scenery has inspired me to get a tattoo based on it. Been planning to get one like that picture you got on your album cover, with some little changes/additions of course, on my arm. Keep doing whatcha doing. Gonna be sweet!

[leftutopia]

I W-A-N-T THIS ALBUM NOW!!!!

[TheAtlasStone2009]

1 person went insane listening to this

[kmanick]

love this CD, you've written some great stuff here Paul!

[TheAxePalace]

This is amazing man, just bought the CD on iTunes. I actually saw you at the ESP booth at NAMM and was blown away then.

[JURGMANDR]

so sick

[harro333]

I got the Loomis as well. What are you tuning to? Drop A?

[paulwardingham]

@harro333 Yes drop A on this track.

[ViperRob42]

Very beautiful amazing heavy jams you got

[patrickb421]

omg! i jus realized that to me you sound like a mesh of andy james and per nilsson both amazing guitarists, it is definately a compliment!

[kreator1977]

Paul your music shreds. I love it. Have you considered getting a vocalist?

[paulwardingham]

@kreator1977 Thanks. Not for my solo stuff, but perhaps for a band, yeah, why not.

[JacksonKBH]

@paulwardingham noooooo we need more instrumental bands (just a suggestion)

[18FrozenProductions]

@paulwardingham You should really concider talking to Christian Älvestam! You guys would have made a very good collaboration :D

[MrDmuthler]

very nice, love music like this

[MrDmuthler]

very nice, love songs like this

[imp187]

Who said YT kills the music industry?...

[yllierutube]

[paulwardingham]

@yllierutube I appreciate your support. thankyou.

[TheRedCrusades]

Truly amazing! Superb songwriting and guitarwork, Paul!

[paulwardingham]

@TheRedCrusades Thanks very much.

[JuninhoOpeth]

By the way, I also found his sound a lot like Scar Symmetry! Excellent

[JuninhoOpeth]

Amazing !

[eelliiaass]

haven't been this excited in buying an album since the release of holographic universe. to the itunes store and beyond!

[Lillskit85]

This is some sick stuff. I will buy the album from iTunes in just a few seconds. It's rare to come across music that kicks this much ass these days.

[lilkoopa23]

So Paul, I've been listening to your album for the past few days and I'm really enjoying it. But there's one thing that's been bugging me and I've been meaning to ask you. What exactly is a metaverse?

[paulwardingham]

@lilkoopa23 It's a virtual-reality world like in Tron etc...

[lilkoopa23]

@paulwardingham

Ohh I see.

[xHybr1d]

This is amazing. Please fucking team up with Christian Alvestam, so you guys can make music that sounds like old Scar Symmetry!

[xeroblade012]

i am so subscribing on your channel! XD

[patrickb421]

I just ordered it!!! anyone that sees this should do the same

[paulwardingham]

@patrickb421 Thanks for your support Patrick, I really appreciate it. Cheers!

[xHybr1d]

Where can I find your album?

[paulwardingham]

@xHybr1d Hi there. The CD is available from the Enigmatic Records website. Thanks.

[xHybr1d]

@paulwardingham

Ok thanks!

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

This has to be the best sounding instrumental album ever.

Tops any instrumental ive heard, including Jeff Loomis

[lilkoopa23]

Assimilate Redjenerate

[bluprint79]

Instrumental Scar Symmetry!

[darkwatch025]

yea its awesome. I wish you got christian alvestam to sing to these songs though!

[goldmemberleroy]

@darkwatch025

Haha, damn right! Watch this space, I reckon...

At least I will be able say I bought this album before Paul became a metal god on Nuclear Blast or something...

=)

[BORATPWNU]

i cannot wait.

[guitarDouchebaggery]

sounds great

here's a tip: When uploading just a picture with audio, render the video in HD; that way the final sound on youtube will be much better (the sound has higher quality when switching from 480p to 720p)

[paulwardingham]

@guitarDouchebaggery That's a great tip! Thanks very much.

[maviddicic]

sweet stuff man!!! Definitely reminds me of Scar Symmetry :))

[cfh210192]

hellyeah !!!

[BenjaminEllisMusic]

Man, this stuff is so epic! Absolutely awesome work, even the sampler vid didn't let on quite how insane this stuff was going to be. Can't wait for the album!

[IcarusNic]

Fuck, this is pure genius and godlike !!! /m/

Cheers,

NIc

[sinksinkswim]

Right down to the guitar tone it reminds me a lot of Scar Symmetry

[EchelonIV]

@sinksinkswim You might even think this is per nilsson

[patrickb421]

YEEEAAAAA!! cant wait!!! homework is so much more bareable thanks to this track alone!

[metalmikebot]

Finally!

[MickeyLWalker]

not bad, not bad at all

:)

[TechcoreIsSexy]

@MickeyLWalker not bad? this is INNNNNSSSSANNNNEEEEE

[MickeyLWalker]

@TechcoreIsSexy

[00Ibanezist00]

"Ooh, look at me, I'm a goddamn genius on guitar!" hahahahaha

[A1ex1sBB]

[TriviumSamurai]

[FaxMachineDx39]

[Fizzwut]

Can't wait. Sounds really inspired of Scar Symmetry / Per Nilsson's playing.
