This is the Last challenge of the year so voting will close on the 16 December 2011. Only three of the ten entries indicate what category they in so I will let you be the judge . Each member has three votes so if you honest you can decide on your favourite beginner, intermediate and advance or say too hell with it and vote for your favourite 3 entries regardless of category.

Here's my entry, sending it a bit early because I'm off to Cape Town tomorrow!
This piece was inspired by Threat Signal's new album (which is beyond amazing).
For guitars I used the x50 amp with guitarhack impulses, TS-808 and EQ. Drums I used EZDrummer pop/rock kit but layered the kick and snare with Andy Sneap samples. Slot me in the intermediate category please.

Right, went a little different on this one compared to my normal routine. What we have is ONE guitar and a drummer. Talk about band commitment, pffft... bassists and vocalists... pffft. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey. Attached is my entry to the Challenge. Rather early than forget, I guess :)
http://www.box.com/s/oy4m3r5f1n3sgsax9mgr
My mic quality, combined with the fact that I'm actually no metalhead, made sure that this actually came out more like hard rock than metal... Oh well, if I get one vote that would be great for a first shot :)

Here is my entry for November.
I am concerned some folks have very slow internet so I made two choices...... a 128kbps mp3 at about 2.1MB and a .Wav at roughly 34MB as I recall. Please decide which file will be best for the members as I do not know what sort of internet problems there are there.
This is the MP3

And the .Wav

Thanks.

"There once was this goat, who ran away from home, got adopted by a man they call the mountain king, he is pretty epic, he lives on a mountain, and likes reverb, this is rare recorded material of the goat shredding the guitar and his master ripping it out on the drums............the bassist remains a mystery"

Here's my entry for this month's challenge. What a ride! I don't know the first thing about metal and, considering the rigorous debate it always evokes, I wouldn't be surprised if some don't even consider this metal :)
At any rate, it was fun to try to apply myself well outside of my comfort zone. I didn't have the tools to add vocals but I hope the unbridled anger and erruption of hate over the fact that my swimming pool is green and the ineptitude of my useless Kreepy Krauly is evident from the music :D

And here it is!!
After you hear me count 1-2-3-4 prepare to have your face melted :D
Dual guitar to make it sound heavy. And I recorded the guitar and vocals at the same time to same time which worked out well.
The songs called "Molten Hate"

Our band's name is "Heed The Word". This song's name is "First Light" since it's the first song to see the light of day outside my small home studio and our cars :)
Although it's not a full "band" and we're just two guitarist, and we most unfortunately don't have a vocalist yet, we believe that there is enough attitude, character and melody in our material that it will definitely still make a person want to headbang and enjoy it just as much!

Ok, I went for an Old School metal track, I was trying to get an early 90's death metal kind of sound out of it, I also tried to do some rythym changes and break downs too. If anybody has any comments or pointers and tips, feel free to share :)
It's 2 guitar tracks, 1 bass guitar track, 1 drum track and a Solo Track (5 in all)
I'll stick my neck out and go intermediate this month. :o
