New track released! Me on lead vocals, and my Korina Standard and my Vector XT also are on it 😎

I ended up using the Standard for the solo and some few fills, and the Vector XT for rhythm and to double-track the fills. I sang on it too. Hope you guys will like it. Thanks in advance for listening!

Lyrics:

Weapons Rise

I bring the invader to the ground
With remorseless will
Controlling the forces all around  
On a mission to kill

I was
Created in hate
In hate

Robot:
[Under my industrial shape
Waiting for the right time
Gathering forces for final command]

There's a spirit within the shell
My iron parts no longer follow command 
There's a sound, a human feel
Long forgotten, the ruptures starting to heal —ruptures starting to heal

Intermezzo
SOLO

We’re trail blazers in the night
Enemy's flesh we seek
Controlling the forces all around  
On our mission to kill

We were
Created in hate
In hate

That sounds great! Great concept.

Thank you! 🙏 You know, we produce these things knowing they have no reach, we’re just doing it for the pleasure of creating and playing. That’s why I appreciate so much you took the time to listen to it. 🙏🙇‍♂️

By the way, vocally I’m the result of several influences —not only Geoff Tate’s. 🤪 A friend of mine proposed me to do the following, which are three shorts demonstrating some vocal lines and captioning the “manifested” influences:

Impressive @zorrow! How could you sing that high? You are very expressive. 
I don‘t think Gillan in the third trial. Gillan could roar high. Maybe a forth, Gillan, try? That‘ll be interesting.

Totally loved it. Very nice production all the way through the track.

I just thought paying homage to Deep Purple as well, given my bandmate played that solo organ. So, when I sang that falsetto, I thought “Highway Star”, but there’s no way I can sing like Ian Gillan. That was just a wink. 😉

As of singing high, I’ve been studying, that’s all. I’ve always sung, but for this kind of stuff, technique is an absolute must. 🤷🏻‍♂️

By the way, thanks a lot for listening to our track. You might listen more singing from me, as Sonja told me when she was here that she might want me to sing on some of her songs. I’m looking forward to it —if you see her, please tell her. 😉🙏❤️

IMPORTANT: By the way, I use the Bandcamp player, but a friend just told me that it asks for money when you click on the web link. That’s not my intention at all! So, I uploaded the last mix to Dropbox, so you guys can download the mp3 version of the track from here —please avoid using the Dropbox player, as it’s quite lo-fi:
