Monster Heavy Metal Guitar - 'Titanium' - Modern Thrash by Dan Oliv

This song + my first album, "Dark Fragments", are available on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Spotify:

Artist: Dan Oliv | Song: "Titanium" | Album: "Dark Fragments"
Written, recorded and produced by Dan Oliv

Guitar & Bass: Dan Oliv (a.k.a. dmometalguitar)
Drums: Chris Betamonkey

Metal instrumentals don't always have to be overly melodic or super produced. Here's a bit more brutality with my B.C. Rich Warlock guitar (rhythms), ESP M-II guitar (solos) and Yamaha Motion B bass.

I created my metal tone and presets with Amplitube (guitars) and Pod Farm (bass). I recorded and mixed the song with GarageBand (Digital Audio Workstation), using Line 6's UX1 interface.

I'm using BetaMonkey drums (Double Bass Mania). Drum beats, fills and loops were also edited and mixed in GarageBand.

This metal instrumental is called "Titanium", written and recorded by myself. With all my original songs, I try to be different from the many players out there who usually sound like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani or Yngwie Malmsteen. I'm influenced primarily by classic Thrash Metal bands such as Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Testament, Anthrax, Sepultura, Megadeth among others.

My vintage B.C. Rich Warlock guitar features Floyd Rose Tremolo and Dimarzio Super 2 pickups. My ESP M-II Urban Camo guitar features original Floyd Rose Tremolo and EMG 81 pickups

This video was recorded with a Canon Rebel T3i camera.

You have clear talent. I look forward to seeing what I can learn from your videos, without ripping you off of course.
