Fun fact about the metal stuff, I was originally intending to go harder for a breakdown at the end of that climax, just like some nasty bends on the top string.. In hindsight, I would've just been stealing the part at 2:29 in this song and tuning it to Drop A instead of whatever it's supposed to be in
But I wasn't recording anything, so there's no strings or frets to speak of xD The breakdown never happened bc of that and the fact that the flow didn't seem right with it so yea. I'm glad the drums and piano got some love, bc I don't play either instrument but I just understand how they work??? Well enough for arranging anyways lol
Thanks for giving it a listen!
