Abolish the Echelon - "Panopticon" (old recording)

Hey guys we are finally back with another original. This song, "Bloodshed, Paranoia, Madness, and Ruin", nicknamed "54" for short has been in the making quite a while. It's going to be rerecorded soon and be part of the 10 or so songs that will be on our upcoming album, not yet titled, which will be available in the near future on iTunes. More stuff is coming; new updates soon. Hang in there, keep shredding.

My favorite so far, especially 3:06 to 4:20 (lol). That melody was masterfully complex, and it's followed by a really emotional clean section. One criticism, if I may;

Jordan's solo at the end of "Wretched Sovereign" was a much more powerful outro than the rhythm section at the end of this song, which is somewhat anticlimactic.

I don't think it's worth rewriting the end, but there's a principle worth noting here. The long clean section is a "valley" of tension that demands proper conclusion.

@nicholasholtman Thanks for the critique bud!! Its appreciated. The imagery I get for the end of this song made the ending a great choice in my opinion, and you're entitled to yours as well. Thanks for enjoying it either way!

that intro... so soooooo incredibly evil :) also, i remember that riff in the breakdown from awhile ago!

[alexstypes]

@chalkboxx Lol, the ending riff after the clean section sounds "evil" to me haha but either way, wow you've been following us for a bit, glad you checked the song out!!

the djent near the end was epic win

[Tesafilmdeckel2000]

sounds to me like periphery+protest the hero. This is just awsome (:

[thepimpinest]

So who plays the bass and drums? Do you guys use a machine?

[konsco]

The quality might not be better but this mix has more balls and a better low end, a great song regardless though

[SameerTheBaja]

This song inspired me to buy a 7 string. I have to say, it's the best decision i've ever made regarding the purchase of an instrument.

Hey just wanted to say you guys are amazing I just wanted to also ask how you guys learned to play like this i started playing at the age of 15 and can play some songs i like to so i was just wondering what I should do to learn these guitar skillz

[mushynator]

Hey guys, I'm celo, I freaking love your music. I really want to do a cover of your song on drums. I was wondering if you guys would be down to sending me or just putting a version of this song or any of your songs on YouTube but with only the guitar tracks. That way I could use them to write some drums over them. Write me back with your answer! You can just email me at tokicelo@gmail.com
