    Tatu Aleksi - Polar Opposites EP (2019) - some instrumental prog metal tunes, take a listen :)

    So I just put out an EP in March, and I realized I haven't really promoted it here ever since! So, here's a playing video I just released today, in my EP playlist. It's instrumental prog metal/djent, and you can certainly hear the influence from my favorite bands such as Periphery, Tesseract and...

    Oh, thanks a lot, man! Sorry I'm so late responding to this, I find myself a bit on/off forum guy, I should definitely check these out more regularly :) By the way, Isurez also mentioned Brett Garsed in a previous comment, and I have to say that guy is absolutely great guitar player. I...

    Odd time signatures.

    One of my favorites is Porcupine Tree - Cheating the Polygraph! It's not just odd signature for the complexity, but it also grooves really nicely. Check out Live from Anesthetize version. The 7/8 on the verse is just perfect.

    My new instrumental prog/djent single "When Everything Is Nothing"! Please listen & comment :)

    I have to say now I feel bad saying what I did. I know it sounds disrespectful towards fellow musicians who as well wor hard to get their music heard, and I apologize. I don't want to be that whiny guy in the forum, and I know there are better musicians than me here as well, who have earned...

    My new instrumental prog/djent single "When Everything Is Nothing"! Please listen & comment :)

    Thank you for your comment, exactly the kind of honest feedback and advice I need :) I think it does deserve more plays, now only a couple hundred people have heard it. And also there's some self-irony attached to calling it "ruthless marketing", because I've obviously posted my music in so...

    My new instrumental prog/djent single "When Everything Is Nothing"! Please listen & comment :)

    Hello! Here comes a ruthless promo post about my new music! Anyway, I think there might be people interested of this in the forum, I think it's quite creative and out-of-the-box with weird song structures, but still I pursue to keep accessible grooves and melodies in there. I honestly think...

    Guitars Built by Members of SS.org [pic heavy]

    Here's my guitar build from 5 years ago. Still my go-to guitar. I ordered the neck from a local luthier with the measurements I wanted. I actually wanted to get a spruce body guitar at that time since my first guitar had that and it has really good tone to it. And since spruce is rarely used in...

    Did anyone mention David Maxim Micic yet? Seriously, I think that guy is one of the most talented musicians in the whole world right now. I highly recommend his "Who bit the moon" EP. Or EGO. Just check that out, it's some of the most creative music I've heard, with great mixing/producing. I...

    Post Your Band's Website! (myspace/facebook/youtube/etc.)

    I'll consider my YouTube channel as my website for now. Anyway, I have an instrumental prog metal solo project I'm working on right now. My first single is a bit heavier and riff-driven, and the EP is going to be a mix of prog rock/metal stuff with a fair share of djent, crunch and clean tones...

    Greetings from Finland!

    Never tried a djenty mustang in my life, but sounds cool! The clean sound in those is usually pretty nice :)

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    I love Jazz basses, mine's got those Quarter Pounders people are talking about in here. I think the most important thing for me to achieve the sound I want, is that I use an amp/amp sim that cuts a lot from the 300-600 Hz muddy area - leaves space in the mix for guitars, vocals, synths. I also...

    Passive bridge pickup recommendations

    I really like Bare Knuckle pickups, my favorites are Juggernaut and Black Hawk (the alnico version of that). Both can do leads and riffs really well :)
