Update: remastered with IKMM's T-Racks today, mix is cleaner now

sorry this mix is a bit muddy at times, will updating with remaster T-Racks soon.

In celebration of seeing Maiden at the Moody tomorrow night, I just had to do one more instrumental arrangement of this. With a high degree Iron Maiden inspired tones and phrase structures--the triplet "Gallop"

Enjoy and Play Loud....

Still a WIP

Lyrics:

1) Coming up over the Horizon, it crowns the sea

2) Rising over waves, it's many eyes on me

3) Its gaping maw opens overs it's hundreds of teeth

4 As its many heads try to consume the Sun

5 I must not fall to dishonor, as this Monster stalks me and my kin

6 To my axe and sword I must crawl if not run

Oh Leviathan though you will be my demise

Upon glorious steeds I shall ride to eternal Peace

I will raise my drink to you as I feast

in the victorious halls of Valhalla

in the victorious halls of Valhalla

in the victorious halls of Valhalla

7 To Take up arms I must be

8 Lest my soul is swallowed by Sea, As Loki laughs--for me no halls

9 As I reach my prize and take up arms

10 Both Leviathan and Sea rise up and strike and claw me down

11 As I size up my near fate, I catch a glimpse of cold steel,

12 I quickly don my metallic cache

13 The sea rends my ship asunder as both I and beast dance the dance that

14 only one will plunder

15 Valhalla's light calls to me as my axe finds its mark

16 One of the beasts heads topple into the sea

17 Alas my my ship has been torn beam to beam

18 As the beast ravages another of our ships

19 As Leviathan's blood on my axe ebbs with sea

20 the dark waters chill closes around me

21 My firm grasp hold tightly my victorious axe

22 As my body sink into the cold deep

23 Valhalla calls me

23cValhalla calls me

Valhalla calls me ...

::~Leviathan~::

Over the Horizon it crowns the sea

Rising over waves, it's many eyes on me

Its gaping maw opens overs it's hundreds of teeth

As its many heads try to consume the Sun

I must not fall to dishonor as Leviathan stalks me

To my axe and sword I must run

To Take up arms I must be

Lest my soul is swallowed by Sea, As Loki laughs, no halls for me

As I reach my prize and take up arms

Both Leviathan and Sea strike and claw at me

Valhalla's light calls to me as my axe finds its mark

One of the beasts heads topple into the sea

Alas my my ship has been torn asunder

As the beast ravages another of our ships

As Leviathan's blood on my axe ebbs with sea

the dark waters chill closes around me

My firm grasp hold tightly my victorious axe

As my body sink in the cold deep

Valhalla calls me

Valhalla calls me

Valhalla calls me ...

10-9-22 Updated: crisper drums, more custom "play style" in the drums

Starts at 120bpm then revs to 154bpm. This Post Electronica revisit to Drum & Bass returns the spawning ground of this genre from where the Amen break first appeared--The Jazz/Blues Drum kit. Two IKMM Drum kits--my custom "Deep Ocean" kit and a newer one made for this track "duel" one another using an array of DNB beat patterns with as real as electronic drums get--MODO Drum is a evolution of the true "smoke machine"--the Drum Machine which gave rise to the Amen break and Drum and Bass genre. This is truly full circle ,,,

NSideOut by Wintermut3

After Reading about the Zeppelin bombing of London in 1915, it occurred to me that a "Leviathan" could also be in the sky and I began shaping "Leviathan" to the "Zeppelin" mixes which mostly were focused on Progressive Metal and or very "Zeppelin" like Heavy Rock.

this particular mix/version:

Now that most of the "metal" of this line of L3VIATHAN was worked out, it was time to add back in one of the elements that had been present in the original group of songs: conflict. I further expanded the composition to add a set of themes to the middle of the song, the British planes that appeared at dawn in 1905 a "saved" the day.

This more "improv" driven version (aka "live" ) brings a prophet-like Mini-Moog to the table with that characteristic "rip" (porta-mento effect) in the synths lines

this is a bit of still a WIP This version was derived from the "Flaming Zeppelins" Composition of the song group, The original drumlines of that composition has been rendered using the hyper-realistic Drum synth by IKMM -- Modo Drum using two closely matched Metal drum kits...

I wasn't going to release this alternate version, more evolved, mix--I changed my mind... :)

Vs U2 OCTOBER by Wintermut3

In 1982, this song made me really really love Piano

Thank you David aka Joe ... For the rest of you, If you remotely even appreciate my version of this, then please listen to the original by Mr. Joe Jackson... a true classic...

For the cover art, I inverted the keys on the model I rendered, because a "Fortepiano or pianoForte" has keys like a harpsichord Black keys for the Whole notes and white keys for the half notes ( opposite of a piano today )

Production wise, I wanted this mix/composition to feel improv and loose/organic and most of ... live. I used modo drums by IKMM with a new custom kit--one of features of this new WMS kit, named "Big Ballad", was a large "loose" snare drum with large low tension "chains" but using a low to negative velosity on the sticks/hits over i mix the "studio" and "jazz" elements (basa drum, snare, toms, etc) into this hybrid new kit
