[Music] Leviathan

Hey hey,
here's Leviathan a piece of glam rock/metal with a twist:

(lyrics below)

The twist is that there are no guitars, instead there is Clavinet and a little more Clavinet and, of roucrse, Guitarix. Discovering the Guitar LV2 plugins - and the fact that they basically work with Nama/Ecasound - was fantastic. Dehumming the Clav was a task unto itself, but in the end it worked well enough.

Besides that we have the usual suspects: Fluidsynth for the bass, DrumGizmo and the Aasimov2 kit for drums, Yoshimi for pads, one sub-bass and snare layering, as well as the original guide tracks for all the Clavs. In hardware we also have the Arturia MiniBrute 2S for the second sub-bass and the Behringer Neutron for the two lead synth lines. The Clav played all the rhythm parts and one lead line. It was heavily multitracked.

Enjoy, feedback is very welcome. And here are the lyrics:

[Verse]
Black clouds, going under...
Underndeath the blood-dark seas.
Buried by despairing thunder
Crumpling like the fallen trees.
I try to grasp at final straws
of hope with claws
that cut my lifeline
Lost in ever turning spirals:
I am going down.

Nevermore!
No saving shore...
Soil, rot and pain to the core!
[Chorus]
Can we face the horizon,
Where all hope will be denied?
Brave the rise of the leviathan,
Who devours life and soul?

[Verse]
When life hands you lemons,
Go make some lemonade.
Shallow words from vapid faces,
Token of mendacious aid
All alone inside the vacant shell
I fall apart in silence...
Clad in ashen robes and veils of smoke
I fade away.

Nevermore!
No saving shore...
Is it worth fighting for?

[Chorus]
Can we face the horizon, (the horizon)
Where all hope will be denied?
Brave the rise of the leviathan, (Leviathan)
Who devours life and soul?

[Instrumental]
{Chorus]

Best wishes,

Jeanette
