NOCTURNAL EXHUMATION
======================
[3:49]

Very Desecration-influenced, this one :) Back to the gore metal. Fuck the
Egyptian shit for a while. Let's get back to basics :) I suggest that if
you like this tune, then you go get Desecration's "Inhuman" album...plus
the T-shirt that says "I am fucking inhuman" on the back, like I have :)
Once again, a different guitar sound. It's still the micced amp mixed with
line-out from the pedal method, but I just moved the mic a little and used
the "Incantation" patch on my Zoom pedal. Sounds pretty cool and similar
to Desecration's sound to me. Very gorey. I recorded it at 18KHz for
change too. That way, I still get the higher treble that this sound
requires, but also a manageable filesize (although I did rape them
slightly...OK, so they're 4bit...I don't care).
This is slower than a lot of my recent stuff. Most of the recent ones have
been >220 bpm, but this is back to 180 bpm so that I can be technical
again. This is real heads-down, fucking death metal IMO. No extraneous
over production or too much widdling during the riffs (in other words,
less Decapitated and Aborted-style). This is pretty simple. Some of the
riffs are hard to play, but not too complicated. I concentrated on the
tune of it here, instead of hpow technical or brutal I could make it. I
also noticed that I've been neglecting my solos recently, so there is some
infernal sweeping and tapping in there this time, too, as requested by
AeuK & Nycto :) It's just a shame that I SUCK at sweep picking...
And I payed a lot of attention to the drums again in this one, trying to
imagine how a real drummer would play this. I actually recorded the
riffs and tracked all the drums and bass in this in 2.5 hours...which must
be a personal best :) I am VERY chuffed with the result of this, so for
2.5. hours work, I definitely can't complain...
Hmmm. The vocals on this kind suck coz of all the pops...and they just
aren't as good growly as they usually are. Ah well...next time maybe...
All guitarz & vocals by me

LYRICS (about necrocannibalism :D):
===================================
Urgh... (couldn't resist it!)
Hungry for a corpse's flesh, I strike into the ground
Dinner time at 2 AM, I'm digging deeper down
My mouth is watering at thoughts of black, decaying flesh
Knife and fork are at the ready, it's edible more or less
[Chorus:]
Dead meat...tasty...good to eat...
Rotting...dead skin...I'm digging in!
Eating off the coffin lid
Prising off another bit
Tearing off a chunk of meat
Gnawing on the dead man's feet
Decomposing body here, maggots crawling out
Crunchy to the taste, I feel them cracking in my mouth
Adding soil for seasoning, it's starting to get late
Flesh I don't have time to eat comes with me on a plate
[chorus]
Cannibalistic urges
Dig it up
Carve it up
Eat it up
Find another
Addicted to their entrails
Dig it up
Carve it up
Eat it up
Find another
[repeat verse 1]
[chorus]
Nocturnal exhumation
The dead's unwilling donation
Nocturnal exhumation...
