Making Of "The Descending Dragon" and my finished song!

[Dominik Gräber]

Hey y'all!
It's finally time to share my Making Of video to the guitar strap I made for no other than Matt Heafy. I wanted to share this here because first I know that some of you really like my work and may be interested in seeing a bit of the making process. But also the video features my very first instrumental, which I recorded just for the video.

The Song is finally finished and I am proud for this to be my first output. Tons of thanks to @Chris Johnston who helped me with the theory for it and the feedback in the writing process, @Andrei Moraru for the help with the drums and @Aileé Guerra Aréizaga for giving my dumb ass some basics in mixing!

So here is the Making Of and also a separate upload of my song:

Alterrrrrrrr.....

Dude Im fucking blown away by that song! I can hear some metallica here and there! Very well done mate!

Also regarding your leather work.....someday....I will commission one of you! Beautiful art!

Be fucking proud of your work!

 

[Chris Johnston]

Absolutely amazing man! All your hard work paid off!

 

[Dominik Gräber]

Thank you! That's what I wrote it for but honestly I thought I got carried away and it would be annoying over the Video

Nice drums there. Whoever wrote them has potential.

In all seriousness though, you should be proud of the final result. It's a cool song, really creative. I can hear some bass as well (it wasn't there when I was drumming ), which compliments the other instruments.

Thanks a lot man! Yes, I recorded the bass last after talking to Aileé, who convinced me the song could use it

Its pretty cool! It has a nice vibe to it. I also like the more heavy parts but the more calm and clean part are really really cool to listen to. All said and done, good job man!

Dude the fact that Matt Heafy himself uses a strap you made for him is a testament in itself! Be proud
