Rock meets Prog, Metal meets Country

[Ralph Kersten]

Hi

I released an EP with 5 songs recently.
On all tracks I used EZD2 Metal Machine for drums and on 2 Songs Latin Percussion for percussion.
Furthermore EZKeys Electric Grand and Upright Piano with some modified Midi-Tracks from the EZK Midi-Library were used on the one or the other track.

It’s a concept album called “Dark Moon Over Countryside” and contains Country elements combined with Progressive structures and offbeats, including Rock & Metal guitars, basses and drums.

Here are the links to the songs:

I only had time for the first song.

Great job of mixing up the elements. It feels like it was done for the song and not out of an experiment. You might try licensing it for some sort of hillbilly/murder show like “Deliverance” or “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” 🙂

Thanks for your feedback Spikerama. Hope you’ll find some time to listen to the other songs.
Waiting now for a call of any director of the genre you mentioned

Made a video for promotion purposes. Would be great if it gets shared by the one or the other. Working already on another album and Toontrack is on board of course 🙂
