Nerve End - Axis EP (free stream / download) (includes STEMS, DI-tracks and gp5-tab!)

[Yonas]

We are a young unsigned progressive metal band from Finland. You can stream and download our newest EP Axis for free here: nerveend.com

I sing and play guitar in the band. I also recorded, produced, mixed and mastered the ep. I'll happily answer all the questions about the production. I'll also make an in-depth mixing video with detailed information about the mix a bit later. Feel free to give feedback about the production. This is my 2nd big project ever and I'd love to get some tips on how to improve.

Here stems for the 2nd song on the ep, The Squid. The rar-file includes all the instrument tracks on separate mp3-files. You can use these for mixing practice or just to listen to how the different instruments sound on their own.

PLEASE READ THE README.pdf FOR INSTRUCTIONS
Download here: http://nerveend.com/stems/Nerve End - 02 - The Squid - STEMS.rar (filesize: ~125 MB)

The rar-file includes:

- MIDI file for the drums
- Tempo track

Sounds badass man, I'm definitely going to play the hell out of this album as well.

 

[DLG]

has a nice Devy-esque vibe to it, quite good.

Hey, thanks! It's no secret that we are huge Devin fans! He has certainly influenced our sound to some extent.

 

[lava]

Love it - your clean singing reminds me of Jon Anderson.

 

[SomeGuy97]

I was actually going to post something about your band when I found it a couple weeks ago- Glad you did it though instead of me.



They also have GP files for four (I believe) of the songs on the website- very cool that that's available too.

Yeah, tabs for the songs on the previous EP This State Of War can be found here: nerveend.com/tabs

This is great. I'm having a great time running your guitars through different impulses. I wish more people would do stuff like this. Things get a little stagnant when I only have my own stuff to play around with.

That's nice to hear. If you need stems for some other song, just say. I'll make them available if a get enough requests.

Bumbing this thread with the brand new studio report:

 

[DLG]

the playstation controller trick

 

[poopyalligator]

Awesome. I dig it a lot.

 

[WolleK]

saw the vid with the controller (btw:awesome idea)- downloaded you ep after that- since yesterday on heavy rotation

 

[Kapee]

This is a bump for a great justice! Great music and you all should listen both of their EP's!

 

[Yonas]

Thanks for the "justice bump"! I'm really getting the feeling that there's tons of people who would enjoy our stuff, but getting discovered is just a really slow process. We will release our first music video really soon, hopefully that'll help a bit with getting the word out.

 

[Yonas]

We released a shit reel with bunch of outtakes from our recording sessions:



There's little to none of actual playing, but that stuff was already covered in our previous studio videos. This is just us goofing around, which happened a lot during recording. Looking back, I start to realise how stressful the whole recording process was.

 

[denfilade]

You guys are legends! I fell in love with Axis when it first came out on got-djent, and I'm thinking I might do a guitar/vocal cover of some songs from This State of War one of these days...I must say after a long while of not improving musically, you have inspired me again to pick up my guitar and write more music!

 

[Marv Attaxx]

Dude, this is awesome!
Loving it
And thanks for the D/Is, I love mixing this kind of stuff

First rough instrumental mix i made:
Nerve End_ The Squid (Remix) by Marv Attaxx on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free
Still the original drums (what did you use for those? sp? live drums?) since I use logic and can't import the tempo track (and being to lazy to figure them out by myself ) but mixing's been alota fun so far

 

[crissmichaels]

Hey, I took the liberty of remastering your track as well as fixing a slight problem I found with your mix.

I felt the lead vocals needed to come up some, but some parts were louder than others, so I added some compression and some EQ to make them sit better. After remastering, this is the final result:

Hope you like it.

Also, I referenced you as a client. Hope you don't mind (I'm trying to direct more artists to my studio, so this might help)...
