EDIT: HOW THE HELL DID I POST THIS WITHOUT THE LINK TO THE SONG??

I love this song so I recorded a cover of it.

This was a quick project to keep me focused for a few nights. I didn’t have all of my equipment handy so had to improvise a bit.

Guitar – Ibanez RG into JCM 900 into Mesa 2×12 into Royer 121 in API 312

Bass – Some kinda Dean into a Tech21 Sans Amp RBI into API 312 that was then clipped to HELL

Drums – Programmed using Superior Drummer then replaced using samples in Trigger

Vocals – First two verses are SM7 into a modded GAP Pre 73, the rest was SM7 into API 312

There is a thick layer of reverb on everything, room effects, lots of tape saturation and compression, and all kinds of other tricks to get it sounding the way it does. I also set the BPM to match the original and didn’t change anything which begs the question, “why listen to this when you could listen to the superior original?”

Almost all Nebula. Total sonic abuse. It took a lot of work to get it sounding like this. I kept comparing it to the original and while it still doesn’t sound nearly as good, I think I got the spirit of Failure’s version. Getting the vocals right took a lot of experimentation. In the end, it was a combination of room effect, reverb, EQ, and proper panning — whenever you hear a doubled voice, it’s only panned about 25%, single voices in the center. Four distorted guitars, two clean guitars, one bass, and the weird clean bass is two that are panned hard. I think the sampled/programmed drums hurt it a bit but for what it is, I’m pretty stoked. Enjoy.
