Strogg!

Post by Ashley »

Hi there everybody!
I am happy to announce today the launch and release of my latest ditty titled ‘Strogg’!

The song has been great with filling in my days and giving me something meaningful to do whilst I’m on break from work. the ‘Strogg’ is a class of enemy in some of the games from ID software such as the doom and quake games.
I have an affinity with these games and love them so much.
The album cover includes a photo of my much loved old-skool guitar (LTD Alexi Laiho signature white flying V) that I use for all my music, and my framed doom poster (framed by my father) from the game ‘Doom’, which I got out of a game magazine when I was in grade 4.
I am pretty old-skool, but I did enjoy growing up as an 80’s child!

The song includes some synthwave stuff and metal guitars also my vocals and my programmed drums. It was so much fun making it and it burned up quite a few hours, especially over the weekend.

Anyway I hope you enjoy listening to it!
Thanks and all the best, Ali! 😀👍🍺💻🎉

Wow Alisha, your best song IMO!
The sounds were all very high in the quality and the actual notes and recordings were spot on too..
It's good you've started to add some different sounds too, the synthbass was very nice.

:jamming: :rockin: :drumming: :headphones:

Yeah, I remember Doom and Quake, I miss these games and might newly buy them again.
I haven't played any games for years, and I miss some of the legendary ones.
Duke Nukem was also a hit.

Good stuff, cheers!

Thanks Heikkie! I really appreciate the kind words.
Yes Duke Nukem was very awesome too, such good times back then, and the days when LAN parties were popular.
Thanks, and all the best, Ali! :)

I used to make levels for Doom II, and the bass synth here is giving me some of that old feel again. Nice!

ROCK! :band:
