Equinium: A Rock/Metal oriented MLP album

[Plaaay]

It's that simple: If you are a rock or metal artist, this is for you!

All you have to do is write a song and send it to me. If we get at least 10 entries we'll make it available on Bandcamp for free download.

Song criteria:
1) It has to be a rock, metal or any other genre that has something to do with these genres.
2) You have to use a real guitar. No midi guitars allowed. This only counts for the guitar, though. So you can use a drum machine, midi bass, etc.

Deadline for your finished song will be 1. October.
You will also have to submit a WIP of your song until 24. September.

Well, basically I think that's all you need to know.

If anything's unclear, please feel free to ask!

Well then, keep on rockin'! oh gawd ...

I play an 8 string guitar. Who wants to collab?

[LoreRD]

*sigh* I really like metal.... but I can't play the guitar..
I probably won't participate

EDIT: Chaos, want to collab? (lots of stuff going on, so I may be busy atm, though)

EDIT 2: Is there any requirement on the drums? (do they have to be real drums?)

All the other instruments can be midi/samples/whatever. So they don't have to be real. You can use a drum machine.

I play bass, but I don't have a recording setup. I'll probably be able to get one soon, though.

Prog rock anyone?

[MixolydianPony]

Prog rock anyone?

If you mean classic prog rock in the style of Kansas or Pink Floyd or something, HECK YES.

I approve of this idea.

And something Floyd-esque? I can FINALLY use that $80 chorus effect pedal.

[ChromaticChaosPony]

Fak. Y u no liek djent and prog metal?

But seriously, if anyone wants to work with me on odd time signature progressive metal with weird chord structure and really heavy breakdowns (yet again in odd time signature), hit me up. I play an 8 string guitar, so I know how to Meshuggah, Periphery, and even Animals As Leaders a little.

And if you want to hear a guitarist use slap bass technique on guitar, I can do that. I'm also fairly good at tapping.

Concerning my interests, I want to be able to make something very melodic, but really heavy, djenty, and even brutal in some parts. Meaning that I will be using the clean channel a lot more than typically seen in metal, percussive techniques, chords that abuse the 9th interval (because it sounds pretty), epic djent guitar tones (that heavy ass crunch you hear in Periphery), melodic tapping arpeggios on the clean channel on the lower register of my 8 string (more percussive sounds), slap bass technique (on my guitar), 7/4 time signatures, maye some 11/8 time signatures, chords that use more than 6 strings (because power chords alone are boring), pinch harmonics in breakdowns, and some light shredding.

I'm not an all out shredder on guitar. You can get Kyoga for that. But I can make some bizarre technical stuff that sounds awesome. I might be a rhythm guitarist, but damn I will make it look badass.

[ChromaticChaosPony]

Oh, and did I mention that my guitar has 3 different E strings when in drop E tuning? I have a whole extra octave to work with than all of the other guitarists. Swag.

[Lopsided]

I can't guitar, but i love me some rock/metal so if anyone needs some keys/orchestrals for their metal tracks I would love to collab!

[Peak Freak]

Dammit ;_;

[LoreRD]

Dammit ;_;

Oh.....
That sucks :/

I love prog metal and odd time signatures, so I'd love to work with you!
Dream Theater/Opeth/Porcupine Tree FTW!

Yay! Ok, so what do you do?

[Pickslide1992]

All of my yes!!!

[Mischief Max]

Lol. I'm a rapper. Anyone wanna collab?

[RestrainedMadness]

I'd love to metal things up in this humpty-dumpty! Any good screamers in 'ere?

[LoreRD]

Neither me nor Chaos can manage the collab in September, so I guess we're dropping out of this album (or at least I am) :/

I know. I'm sorry I'm so busy this month.

Maybe we can collab some other time?

Sure, send me a PM when you're able to

[Plaaay]

Alright, WIPs are due in less than two weeks from now. All of you who have actually at least started with a track now, please send me whatever you have via PM. Just upload it to your Dropbox or something.

[NightmareSnake]

Vocalist here if anyone needs one. This is right up my alley.

[RestrainedMadness]

Looks like I'm not gonna be able to make it. As it turns out, my new flat's walls are about as sound proof as air, and the traffic is audible on my recordings :/

[Pickslide1992]

I'm still in.
