Hells Gate

Hells Gate


A little slice of Rage -- inspired by Dace.

Rhythm is the X again.
Lead is the Dean / Dimebucker through the Marshall.

Drums are from the link of free loops Dace sent out.

LOUD AND RAW.



Liar!
Liar!
Liar!
it's you who lit the fire
Fire!
Fire!
flames are burning higher!
Higher!
Higher


your Fate!
Fate!
Fate!
is sealed because you hate!
Hate!
Hate!
welcome to Hell's Gate!
Gate!
Gate!


you call yourself a Christian
but you never even listen
and you're hell bent on your mission
full of hypocritic vision
and you think that you're a martyr
and that no one's working harder
while the innocent lie bleeding
buried under lies you're leading

welcome to hell motherfucker. can you hear the bells, ringing?

welcome to hell

WOW.......I thought my ears just might bleed....now this is what a mean dirty heavy guitar riff should sound like.
Massive sound on this one to a great pounding drum track. Guitar just rips through your brain like a chainsaw but the lead lightens it up a bit.
Vocals are really good on this one too....different from your normal mix and I like it better.
Captured the Rage pose very well too.

Inspired by DACE....Yes...but this is all your own work and its very cool

DUDE!!!! WOW! SOOOoooooo HEAVY BRO! You are the KING of HEAVY MAN! Geeezzz!

GREAT GREAT GREAT! Im gona have to listen MANY times..

Be back with more thoughts when i can COLLECT THEM! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im TRIPPING OVER THIS BRO! DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Peter and Dace!

Fun and easy riff to play. The downslide turnaround just makes it heavier.

I forgot how heavy the Dean is. Hard to play sitting down, and easy to hit on a mic stand when you turn.

Vocals are still double-tracked, but using different FX here (the kind of 'radio' distortion effect and a little reverb).

It's an ear bleeder alright.

Thanks Bro! Yeah, your whole RAGE-ness lately made me want to do something along those lines.
But with a Drop chord progression, and a spoken word break.

It DOES kill when it builds out of the spoken word right into LIAR LIAR LIAR! Yeah. I dig that.

Everyone here influences me. Either tunes you guys write which give me ideas, or things you
say about mine that give me ideas for the next one.

I def. stood back from the mic and yelled on this one.

Z

All 3 of my last tunes were drop, Z..only DropD, not C, but drop-base stuff.

Yeah, I think that's what got me stoked. Hearing you ripping up the low stuff.
And your vocals are just plain down and dirty.

I might have to switch to the Shure 57 when I yell. It seems a little more built for that, than the condenser


Z

Yes, i need to try the AKG for screaming stuff...It should hold up to the power of my voice better??? But LOVE that mic Rick sent..WOW! its SO clean...The AKG is awesome tho. 2 GREAT mics...From my friends..THANKS GUYS!

STEVE! cant tell HOW much this happens to me,...Its SO cool, NO?

I guess what it means is that the next Gotham Steel album HAS to be called Hell's Gate,
and I owe Steve some beers for ALREADY doing the Artwork!

How cool is that?

Thanks Peter. The background believe it or not is a 3D fractal I made. Very deep zoom into the Mandelbulb set (a true 3d version of the Mandelbrot set) with a lot of formula tweaking!!
The Demon is a 3D model posed and lit with several spotlights.

I bet that took some time to do

It looks great....the colours actually seem to radiate heat
