ROCKFEST! - Hellbound by Satchwood and Ferryman

[Ferryman_1957]

OK, so I am in France today and it is 35 minutes past midnight here. So here's Hellbound, a take on my bass/drums backer with some incredible Satched up guitar by Tommy. Tommy jammed along to this backer and created some atmospheric and spooky stuff - I was expecting a heavy rocker from him but I got something quite diferent. I was going to do some lyrics based on the Hellraiser movie but when I heard Tommy's guitar it took me in a completely different direction. So now we present Hellbound, a tale of passion, obsession, madness and death.

I hope the mix is ok - this was done very roughly while I was on a plane today and I only have my mp3 earphones, so I have not been able to check the mix on my Sennheisers. Also, for me this is a very quick song - I would have liked to spend more time on the vox tracks but I just did a couple of takes and kept the best one. So it's a bit rough in places.

If you want to be frightened, here's the lyrics:

The devil's in the cornfield
Clutching at our hearts
Standing in the shadows
Watching as we pass

Angels and demons dance in your eyes
One night of love for a life full of lies
Obsession is a passion that's becoming our drug
As we rip out the pumping heart of love

We're going Hellbound
Hellbound
We're going Hellbound
Hellbound

Pleasure turns to pain
As despair fills the night
Blood stains the ground
The darkness is alight

Angels and demons dance in my brain
Madness consumes me in its flames
Whispered imaginings that tear me apart
Are just the sounds of my tell-tale heart

We're going Hellbound
Hellbound
We're going Hellbound
Hellbound
You're dragging me down

We're going Hellbound
Hellbound
We're going Hellbound
Hellbound
You're dragging me down

Tommy's guitar is just mind numbing on this.

Looking forward to more Rockfest stuff. Please don't think me rude if I don't comment much, I am away on a business trip and will only have a few minutes here and there to listen to stuff if I am lucky. But I will comment when I am back in the UK later at the end of the week.

Cheers,

Nigel

What a good song!! The chorus really took me by surprise, loved the way the tempo slowed for it, totally unexpected in a good way.

Your vocal was great Nigel, would love to hear it a little higher in the mix.

The composition and playing of this song is top class!!

[Satchwood]

Flippin CooL mix Nigel - your vocals sound great !!!  

Happy Halloween and Happy Rockfest to ya !!!

Flippin CooL mix Nigel - your vocals sound great !!! 

Happy Halloween and Happy Rockfest to ya !!!

Tommy, my jaw just keeps hitting the floor every time I hear your guitar runs with the spooky stuff in the background. Happy Halloween!

Anrdew, thanks for the kind words. I may remix this when I am back home as the vox sound quite high in my ear buds (which are all I have to mix with at present).

Cheers,

Nigel

Yes!!! That was mindblowing stuff, guys!!

Nigel - It was a killer backer as is, but the vocals really made this one - Maybe higher in the mix like AndrewH said, but it's tough to call because I like them nestled like that. It gives you more room to scream!!!

Satch - Truly deadly guitar work as usual. What can I say, I'm a fan!!!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet job guys!!!

[Bluesberry]

Yes sir this is what I was waiting for, super stuff.  I need more vocals from you Nigel, your vocals are excellent, I love this one big time.  More Nigel, more.  And lets give it up for satch on guitars.  This is too much, really good guys.

I love this one !!! Vox is just brilliant and Tommy's guitar works so great, rythm guitar transformed the backer and the lead Satched it up !!

Great collab !!
