about

A re-recording of a decade-old track, "Empires" was one of the first tracks where I really felt like I found "my sound". It was the first track I recorded on a 7-string in my "Borealia" tuning (F# B F# B F#B E), and the first where I really started to show my Meshuggah influence. I've lovingly recreated it here using updated equipment:

Guitars:

Ibanez AX7221
Squier Affinity Precision bass

Pedals:

Airis Effects Wilhelm Tonery (Savage Drive circuit)
Behringer BDI-21 bass driver

Interface:

Behringer UM2

Software:

Reaper DAW by Cockos
Emissary amp sim by Ignite Amps
NadIR IR convolver by Ignite Amps
Mesa 4x12 cabinet impulse response
EpicVerb reverb VST
ReaEQ, ReaDelay, and ReaComp by Cockos
