those are the band pages, but if you see something on there, chances are it's me.

In this video I perform various sections from the remix I put together for the Dwelling of Duels monthly competition June 2010 http://www.dwellingofduels.net

I split the takes up because this song is rather complicated and didn't feel like attempting to hit every part of this song in a single take. You might hear a little djent influence :D

The remix itself is from the staircase to Dracula portion of Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse. However, my version reflects the music in the Japanese version (Akumajou Densetsu) because the American version is missing an extra soundchip (VR6) and has an inferior arrangement.

My guitar is a custom made Carvin DC127, and my tone is from a Line 6 Toneport. Drums are BFD, except for the kick.

Hope you guys enjoy, I also perform in the bands Armcannon and Metroid Metal if you guys like this stuff you should check them out.

I really did love you at nerdapalooza, im a huge fan and have been for a while. I really would like to ask you a couple questions about your software, gear. I'm the kind of guy who has been trying as hard as i can and can see myself doing this kind of thing for the rest of my life. Just also would like to add you are a huge inspiration and quite an amazing person. Keep on rocking.

@masterjp93 thanks man! I'm using PODfarm for the guitars and BFD2 for the drums. The only 2 things I can recommend are good monitors and practice. You can't mix what you can't hear.

There are not enough stars on all of youtube that i can give to you for this. Awesome dude! Completely awesome. Just curious have you heard of a Castlevania rocker named "goat". Recommend checking out his stuff. :D

[danimal201]

@yumyumeatemup Goat is one of my favorites. I get to try to live up to his soloing every time I perform "The Tunnel" in Metroid Metal.

[ZombieForMyValentine]

What kind of recording software did you use?

Good job! Loved it!

[captainhampton]

What do you use to dampen the sound on the string for taps? I'm in need of something cheap and effective if you have advice. Thanks and amazing jam!

I'm wearing the same shirt right now. Totally nerded out.

@ArmCannonTV Thanks for answering! Keep the good shit flowing:P

[ArmCannonTV]

@strilaren I think for the rhythm guitar I'm using the Soldano with a tube screamer and the Super-O cab. Lead is the same thing except with the JCM800

[strilaren]

Some really good stuff:) What settings and stuff do you use in the pod farm?(if that's what you are using)
