Well it's June already and this month we have a heavy metal track to play with. I know there's still a couple of days left for submissions on May 2008 solo, and I still have to finish mine as well but for once I have the next month's backing track done on time. So I am releasing it now rather than waiting for the 2nd of June, which is when the final submissions for the month of May will be closed off and voting will begin.

It's a fairly standard tune without much to confuse people I hope. It's in the key of Eminor as far as I can work out.. yes.. I know I wrote it but it's all power-chords so it's sometimes hard to tell what key it is in for me. :cool: The tempo seems to be fast but really it's only 10bpm faster than last month's track which was 120bpm. The reason it sounds fast is because of the double-kick drums.

I'm trying a new file-hosting site to see if we can get more joy and less pop-ups out of it.. so let me know if there's any problems downloading from this site:

I've also put it on SoundClick.com but of course they reduce the quality of the mp3, so try the first link before you get the SoundClick one.

Oh yeh.. the track just kinda ends without any sort of lead-out.. so may be you can get creative and fade it out or something.. makes it easier to loop for jamming to if it's like this, then you can loop it over and over till you get the right feel and then do something with the ending.. I dunno.. lemme know if you want me to edit it and add an ending.
