Hi Guys
A bit of a quick back story for you as I'm brand new. I grew up playing mostly metal in my teens, and in recent years as I've gotten more into blues as I've gotten more into singing. But always tried to keep a bit of the punch and spookier themes of metal. So I wrote some material, got the idea for a band 'Black Cat Tango,', made a demo to recruit band, got a band, all quickly went sour , back to square one!
So after all that, with no idea what else to do I decided just to record an EP my myself. I got a friend to do some lead guitar and take some photos, and the chap who mixed for me also it did some organs, did everything else myself on a shoes string budget.
All though all feedback is welcome. I think I know where the strengths and weaknesses lie in the production and arrangements etc. I would be more curious to know your thoughts on the style, character and atmosphere?
Thank you in advance for your time, I have been enjoying getting stuck into reviewing all of the great music floating about here. As these are the first songs I've recorded properly and shared with people,
I also have little clue about where to go or what to do next so any and all advice is welcomed!
Sinkin Ship
Red skies is cookin' up a wicked storm
Clouds black as a raven at midnight
The heavens will open with the fury of the gods
In a flash of searing white
There's an ill wind blowin' in from the west
Carrying bellows and screams
Typhoons and lightning wash away our sins
It's gonna be worse than it seems
We’re all going to hell its too late to forgive
Just another rat off of that sinkin ship
Better start runnin now if you wanna live
Just another rat off of that sinkin ship
Gotta give em both barrels gotta shoot from the hip
You gotta stand up tall when they tell you to sit
Just another rat off of that sinkin ship
Just another rat off of that sinkin ship
Just another rat off of that sinkin ship
Just another rat…
Whip crack of the lightning with a banshees wail
Shattering the bones of the earth
Digging up the dirt as the rivers run red
It’s the fear that gets to you first
More to meet the maker and the thunder roars
Just smile and fall in line
Stoking the flames of the war machine
Because Tonight in hell we dine
