Ode To An Invisible Orange

Is this Metal? Inspired by this MeFi post about Metal and this MeFi post about Metal as a catalyst for world peace, I set out to write and record this instrumental over the weekend. Rough edges are OK in Metal, right? You should probably turn this up as loud as it will go.

• play
• pause
• stop
• min volume
• max volume

This wouldn't be out of place on an early Tool album. I would say it is metal. Good job!

Agreed, it is very Tool-esque. Right at about 2:22, it hits some magic.

Thanks, guys. I was in a couple of Metal bands in high school a long time ago, but this is the first time I've ever tried to write a real Metal song, let alone play and produce the whole thing myself. My wife has been laughing at me more than usual because of it.

Reminds me a bit of a fast Sleep, if that makes any sense! Some of the fast parts and gallops near the end could use a little tightening up, but nice work overall.

Ha! I'm going to go ahead and blame the drummer.

Reminds me of The Sword, which is a good thing.
