WRITING A SONG FROM RANDOM GROOVES.

We’re topping off this year’s Metal Month series with an episode in which Trey truly had the dice on his side. Song-wise, expect the unexpected (as usual). Vocally, prepare to be blown away by Courtney LaPlante (Spiritbox) and a performance that covers the entire range from subtle to extreme!

If you’re new to this series, the premise is that we challenge Trey from Gear Gods to write a song from scratch and use dice to determine tempo, key and grooves.
