There are groups of songs that define a period of time for a band, Killing Addiction, Downtrodden, Fascist Statement, Chokehold, Dead World and Hate Factory do this for ACW. Killing Addiction appeares on our third demo and first cd. At the time we had limited gear, a sampler, drum machine, a roland synth and guitar. We would always try to get more ( Read more... )

fockewolf-Submit/submissive: This was one of the first fockewolf tracks completed, before Severina joined the project.It was released on both demos the band did.The track has a slow dark hip-hop feel to it because it is bassed around a bassline. I really like basslines that move and I still like this one. I got the sound from a Yamaha TG-33,its a ( Read more... )

and christ wept-unusually severe wound pain: Soon after we did our first demo, Audio-carnage, that we weren't too happy with, we entered the studio to do this song. One thing we were good about was trying to learn from our mistakes. This track was a bit of the template of thing to come. The arrangement is very straight forward, not alot of extra ( Read more... )

terror process-that which burns: this was written when the backandtotheleft cd was in production,Tom had tracks has busy producing and Darren was finishing up lyrics/vocals. The stuff we had written so far was really fast so I wanted to do somethin slower and more textured. I started by making loops using the korg electribe. Some were sampled into ( Read more... )

fockewolf-his lost reflection: This was my attempt to try and capture the feel of one of the odd songs from ACW. If you have a song that is 80bpm and play half the tracks in double time they will sound like 160bpm, think of taking a few of the faster ones and playing them 1/4 of the speed then one of the 80 bpm one and play it 1/2 as fast. If this ( Read more... )

And Christ Wept-Negative Reinforcement: At this point in the bands life we decided to go more in the metal direction, as we were getting more attention from this area. This song is a bit of a refection of that. It started off as a weak idea that we quickly decided didn't really go anywhere. After soom time I took a second look and reworked it, I ( Read more... )

Backandtotheleft-False alarm: This started out as a simple sequence on the virus, a neat chord progression that moved along. I can't tell you who programmed what in this one, as we all had our hands in it. Anytime someone would write something someone else would change it a bit and so on. It really was a team effort. I think most of the synths I ( Read more... )

terrror process-viariance: the short lived side project Darren and I did. We started sampling anything and almost everything. A couple of the loops where sent through a yamaha su700, this unit has some neat FX. A drum loops reprocessed several thimes turned into something musical, that is what the song is based around. During production I ( Read more... )

And Christ Wept-Halcyon: When we did the second pressing of the cd we opted to redo alot of things, so we added two extra tracks and this is one of them. It is a bit of a departure from what we were doing, its alot more straight forward and slower. I went through a phase of writing some odd tracks that really didn't go over well live, that is no ( Read more... )

Fockewolf-Nihilistic Automaton: This was one of the first Fockewolf tracks I wrote. I started on the idea when I was still in And Christ Wept but it took some time to finish, you can kinda tell as the bass line in the verse would work on guitar as well. The track was orginally called Grid and was a bit different. I, along with many other musicians ( Read more... )
