Posting a few kick-ass heavy metal demos - "Someday" By Orion Hellraiser

Image
This time I'll post some kind of a personal song, maybe I'l re-record it someday, maybe not, who knows? I composed this song as a gift, and I actually wrote some lyrics that will remain maybe top secret until the end of time, so this is actually a song that could put me really nervious to expose it to somebody else If you're interested in the animation, you should check out this guys, which template I modified, it's free, royalty free and they do an amazing job http://www.freeaetemplates.com/2013/trendy-after-effects-templates/flower-haze-free-after-effects-template/

Posting a few kick-ass heavy metal demos - "Angels & Demons (Instrumental)" By Orion Hellraiser

Image
This is one of my favorite songs, the only one to this date planned to be completely instrumental, which was one of my dreams back when I started to play music and I was only 12 years old banging my head listening to some Metallica songs. Fun fact is that I created this song by accident, when I was jamming and goofing around with Black Sabbath's "Children of the Sea" which starts with a D Minor chord and it suddenly became the main riff when the distortion starts by refining some notes to my liking. Sometimes I think that I might be the only one in the world that actually loves the "Lulu" collaboration from Metallica and Lou Reed, and to prove it, this song was largely inspired by the song "Dragon" from that album. It's hard to say what was exactly going on inside my head at the time, it was a very difficult time in my life when I finished this song, and back when I saw how the song was progressing ....I actually forgot everything else, I w...

Posting a few kick-ass heavy metal demos - "Confussion" By Orion Hellraiser

Image
Well well well....... what do we have here? I'll be releasing some original demos, that I "mastered" in order to keep a decent and constant audible level, There'll be a total of 6 songs that will be periodically uploaded to my youtube channel, These covers have no footage whatsoever, so instead of making a shitty static video, I'll be making shitty animated videos for your joy in the next couple of weeks. This one in particular is kinda old, recorded 5 years ago, it was the first song that actually made me believe that I could record decent music and was the first song I started to play for some people, and I started to upload it everywhere, and it was composed to actually have some vocals on it, check it out! The animation was chosen because it really fitted the old cover I used back in the days to promote the song, and I think it came out pretty good, it's up to you the final opinon! We'll meet again next Monday, with another kick-ass demo...

Thin sound Stratocaster?? I don't think so....

Image
There's a lot of people out there that loves Stratocaster guitars, but many agree that they are excellent for solos.....not for heavy stuff, you need at least humbuckers to compensate the sound, or another guitar.....I really think that's a lot of bullshit, you can make your guitar sound amazing with the right signal chain. There's my first electric guitar right above this text (with an Undertaker's symbol sticker that I created near the bridge lol) and I got it for under 100 dollars back then when I was 15 years old, and at the time, all I played was my acoustic guitar that I got when i was 12. I spent a lot of time trying to get a good sound from that cheap piece of crap, and I did it!!, it took me a long time to understand how a signal chain works, I really needed to crank the hell out of that guitar in order to get a good sound and it became my only ally when I had to experiment many of the stuff I know by now. I recorded my "first" semi pro sound...

New channel, New video

Image
Well, I put my ass to work really hard for like a week or so, and I recorded the first video for my new channel, where I'll be uploading original stuff every once in a while, be sure to check it out. I used a Behringer XENYX 302USB and a XM8500 to record, and a Washburn WI14, no amps, just VST's, free VSTs like LePou LeGion and LeCab, which are just a beast!!! I'll be posting some reviews on the interface and the mic I recorded the whole video with............just 1 webcam!!!! a Logitech c270, this is what I achieved with a lot of patience, time and imagination (as fucking silly as it may sound) Let me know what you think, give a thumbs up, comment and suscribe if you liked it, more videos will come sooner or later to this channel Cheers!!!! \m/

Dr. Phibes Rises Again - The Misfits Covers Demo

Image
First of all, let me apologize about the long, LOOOOOOOONG absence here, I've had some health issues, as a lot of work as well, but I'm back!! Now, I'll be posting new stuff Monday mornings Let me introduce to all of you an "album" (if we can call it that way) made entirely by myself, containing all of the experimental covers that I made around the late 2010's and  during 2011. I first made some tracks exclusively for www.guitarbackingtrack.com because everyone lacked of Misfits backing tracks, and I really love to play their songs, so I thought........what the Fuck?!!! let's have some fun, reccord those tracks and then do whatever I like to them. Once the tracks (as backing tracks) were finished, I did whatever arranges were needed and then, I kept them for my personal use (some tracks were uploaded to youtube to experiment a little bit). Then I reunite the best tracks (or in some cases, just the ones that had an special meaning for me) to make ...

Let me introduce Myself...

Hi there, I´m Orion Hellraiser, a young weird musician who enjoys the good music, mainly the Metal Music, Classical, Hard Rock, Punk, Blues, Jazz, Grunge and some Country music. I´m mainly a guitar player, but I had to learn how to play some bass, some piano (I´m not that good) and some drums, I´ve played guitar since I was 12 (that was Metallica´s fault) and I´ve been composing some songs on my own since then. I´ve created this blog to share a couple of thoughts, some material, some tips, and some other shit, I would love to learn from whoever reads this stupid blog, and hopefully teach some stuff that I learned as the years passed by. So I hope you like some of my stuff and I´ll promise to do some interesting stuff (maybe some striptease lol ), so have fun and let me hear what you think \m/
