In the spirit of the Holidays....

[VulfgangPfuck]

This is a scratch recording I did of "Silent Night" in 1996 during a really bad blizzard before Christmas.

The sound quality isn't that great, and it's before I discovered PC recording (so it's done on good old magnetic tape...remember that?!...LOL)
Hence...there's quite a bit of tap hiss throughout, especially during the chimes in the beginning. The clean backing guitar tracks were done with a Jackson Fusion directly into the board, and the classical melody was done with an Alvarez classical micd with a SM57 into an Alesis Quadraverb for a touch of reverb.

Enjoy!, and Happy Holidays brothers and sisters!!

"Pretense (Metal)
Dark metalcore from NJ"

Your Christmas jingle makes me want to kill small animals and drink their blood indeed. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

No, seriously, that was a sweet rendition that could probably go on one of those mix CDs that they play at the department stores around the holidays! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Nice!!!

I like the hiss, it sounds like rain falling, like the intro to "Black Sabbath".
