Early comp of what is now descending. ðŸ”² Writing music ðŸ”² Justin and I normally bring in potential riffs and demos – then the 3 of us tear them apart like wolves while DC stirs it up with the most opposite counter rhythm drumming (which actually does drives everything forward)ðŸ¤˜ðŸ½ Justin brought in this killer 7 melody which is now the main verse of the song. (He called it â€œbluegrassâ€ as a working title). We jammed it a LONG time trying to find other cool working parts. Eventually I added the 9beat turnaround and a chorus. Then we arranged the intro -which came along very naturally. *The two guitar parts are recorded left and right stereo so feel free to try some headphones ðŸŽ§ ~enjoy friends ðŸ’•

I hope they keep sharing info on their process. It’s very interesting. I wonder what are the really old riffs that made it onto the album. One of the riffs in 7empest has an undertow vibe. That’s my guess.

Maynard turned tempest into something good with his vocals.

The main power chords riff after the intro are pretty cringeworthy. Sounds like something Silverchair would have done on their first album.
