Asleep under Stone

About

Asleep under Stone is a mix of doom metal and prog/folk rock, I recorded it in my apartment with a baritone electric guitar, two basses, one mic, and a laptop running Logic. It's about realizing I'd grown distant from parts of myself that are important to me, and wanting to be close to them again.

Favourite Moment

I didn't have a particular favorite moment this time around, but I learned good things and I'm pleased with my song.

Advice

Do it! I've learned and improved so much from the challenge, even when the final recordings haven't turned out like I had hoped!
