I missed the Detholz! blog last week. Forgive me-- I was suffering in a blizzard on the East Coast with Baby Teeth. Tune in this Wed. for the latest installment of the DH! Mp3 Blog! Jim: Hm. I'll have to listen again more closely. Perhaps I forgot to include a noise gate on the vocals. Viva la radiator! Yes, yes, I know. I missed the Detholz! blog last week.

Tune in this Wed. for the latest installment of the DH! Mp3 Blog!

Jim: Hm. I’ll have to listen again more closely. Perhaps I forgot to include a noise gate on the vocals. Viva la radiator!

The demo just gives an obviously different feel that I probably didn't need to note. duh. But at the beginning of the track (just keys), what I'm hearing isn't popped in yet. But once the vocals kick in, it sounds like there is an air compressor or some kind of rumbling, gas powered generator buzzing away in the background. Not an audio level compressor. I should have specified. Oh yeah, I know the guitars are in now. The demo just gives an obviously different feel that I probably didn’t need to note. duh.

Jim: Bear in mind that the guitars are back in when we play it live. The band lends an entirely different feel to the song-- much grittier. Perhaps even "grottier." I don't quite understand your question. I usually compress the bejeezus out of the vocal tracks, overdrive 'em a bit and then gate them hard. As I recall, that's what I did here. Are you hearing some sort of ambience? I think I might have slapped on some light delay to the stereo track. Or could just be my living room, where I record all of this stuff (under the smiling visage of Piggly Man himself). ‘Bab: Perhaps I should have said “Castlevania II”-esque.

It's kinda cool. Not as edgy, but maybe a little quirkier sounding. Not in a bad way. I also have to ask - was there some kind of compressor or something being picked up by an open mic?

Maybe an alternate album title? I like this song a lot. Interesting to hear the demo after becoming a little familiar with it in the live setting. Sorry I can't make it tonight. “Castlevania-esque!” yeah, vampires…

It is done much justice in the live show. One of my faves from the new set, for sure. It is done much justice in the live show.
