Hey all

I would love to share with you the first proper song I composed in over 15 years. This is the first time I actually paid some money to make it sound more professional (albeit far from perfect). I've submitted it so it will appear on Spotify etc. shortly also.

Yes it's a parody about COVID and the Lockdown situation (in fact that was the inspiration - me sitting in the house on my own for 3 months...) and it's a follow-up to some songs I wrote as a teenager about a mystical, trickster, god-like creature that appears throughout history causing chaos in different forms. In this case, he orchestrated the virus "Conspiracy" the made humans enslave themselves voluntarily.

It's the first time I've hired singers, a bass player and a producer on a freelance website to do anything music orientated. Guitars and drums (programmed) were me in this case.

Let me know your thoughts - in particular which version you prefer (as i've asked a freelancer to make a "lyric video" for YouTube and need to see which version is best!).

Version 1 (Female + Male singers)

Version 2 (Just male singer)

Thanks!!
 
Easier to hear with the female vocals as I guess they don't sound similar to the guitars lol. Sounds very avenged sevenfold like.

Haha - yes. I guess my influences are predominately video game music, TV themes (like Power Rangers etc.) and metal... Avenged sevenfold came later for me, but certainly on my playlist

problem with the female vocal is it's a bit out of sync in some parts, so ruins the professionalism... probably fine for a amateur track i guess
