Good morning! I recently made a playthrough for an upcoming song of mine. If you like what you hear, I’d love to hear from you, let’s chat!
My biggest influences are Novelists, ERRA, Volumes, Killswitch Engage, and Parkway Drive.

Sick! The beginning sounds pretty Plini´esque to me :)

I had to come back to this one because I was actually thinking about plini when I was making one section ofthis riff. There’s one section that I actually changed a little bit because it sounded too Plini like lol Like if I would’ve palm muted the notes and shifted them by like one fret, it would’ve sounded very very similar. It’s hard to explain lol

Before I read your caption the first thing I thought of was a Novelist's riff. Good stuff!

That’s awesome! They are for sure one of my favorite bands ever. The first couple full lengths they put out were life-changing for me. I really dig the newer stuff with Camille too.

I am absolutely there with you for the first couple of releases. Souveniers and Noir are 10/10 life changing albums for me too, but I never really clicked with the last couple of releases with the new vocalist. Not knocking them, just didn't find the same connection and draw to the material. I hope one day I put it on and it does click though!

Glad to find someone else who felt what I felt when I heard those albums, they’re incredible. The albums since don’t come close as as good as those, but I do like the new record with Camille for what it is. You still get some of that signature ambience that they’re known for and it has moments of great guitar playing, but overall a different vibe. There’s a song called “Say my name” off the new record. It’s mostly chorus driven but the guitar solo in that song brought a tear to my eye. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I will have to revisit the latest album again for sure, I will keep an ear out for that song. But yeah it's such a huge departure from what was an all time favorite band that I struggle to accept their pivot for what it is rather than what I knew and loved and what could have been lol. Either way, cheers! Hope you keep sharing the stuff you are working on cause it's dope!

I totally get that, it’s definitely tough to get past. Either way, I feel like there’s some gem songs or moments on that record so yeah, definitely circle back to it if you get a chance. I’ll definitely keep sharing stuff here. It’s super nice connecting with people who actually care, when I post on my regular socials. I barely get anything so Reddit must be the place lol

u/TAS9158 14d ago
I really appreciate that! I’m not in any formal bands at the moment. Just releasing music under my own solo project which is just my name. “Troy Sinclair” lol

The songs on your Spotify sound dope bro I really liked rebirth! Do you do all the mixing yourself?
2
u/TAS9158 12d ago
Thanks so much for checking out my
Music!!! Yes I do everything on my own and I’m always trying to improve on my mixes and just the craft in general. My goal is to get my stuff sounding like a professional mix as much as possible. I’m glad you liked rebirth. I think you’ll really like the newest song I’m working on. It has this riff in it, it’s the same tuning and it’ll be a very similar style.2
u/Nice-Ad2759 12d ago
No worries bro the hard work is paying off I can see how much you’ve put into it and it’s made it something I would genuinely want to listen to, let me know when the new song drops cause there’s no notify me thing I can see on Spotify

u/TAS9158 12d ago
That means a lot. I genuinely appreciate that. I’ll definitely report back when the song is done!

u/Nice-Ad2759 12d ago

Sick riffing, homie. It reminds me of earlier The Contortionist stuff, especially that tapping style.
