I know I will never give up, I should fight no matter what, this album should be release.
And about the musical sounds all US character, for death metal genre I follow Suffocation sounds on their album “ Effigy of the Forgotten” I used 5 Track on Guitar, (2rythem left and 2 rythem right) 1 lead guitar, 3 track for 1 Lead GrowlVocal and 2 backing vocal, I’m very carefully to choose Kerangkenk Sounds Character, as you heard the songs, that’s the master of Kerangkenk album.
