FAWM: "Faultline"

Faultline

Liner Notes

My pal Steve Potter and I have recorded songs together under various names - current band name is Ironclay - mostly grungy / metal guitar tunes. Just finished this rough demo, planning to evolve it quite a bit, but feedback is welcome. He did most of the instrumentation, I added some lyrics/vox and some weird synth accents.

Lyrics

We have been toiling in the silence
Born from a world collapsed in violence
A car is idling in the driveway and I can’t help thinking
Our time has come to make a getaway

My ears are ringing from the gunshots
Cornered inside with all the doors locked
My fears emerging from the closet like a demon creeping
Our time has come to make a getaway

My mind is racing now I don’t know how we made it
Living on the faultline
Living on the faultline

My teeth are grinding like a mortar
White knuckles steer towards the border
Maneuvering through fractured tunnels
Pray to your god we can outrun it

My mind is racing now I hope we can escape it
Living on the faultline
Living on the faultline

My ego rides with thee
My ego rides with thee
My ego rides with thee
My ego rides with thee

My ego dies with thee
My ego dies with thee
My ego dies with thee
My ego dies with thee

The consequence of fate
Witness the end of days
Release has set us free
My ego lies with thee

Nice and gritty, like sliding through sand in a desert… those drums get that pacing then that vocal break comes and takes me somewhere else…. got me diving deep within Great job 🎶

I did not know you have a band. These guitar hit hard. Clearly hear some grunge influence and the vocals have that commanding tone. You have a great energy.

As for feedback... I'd take deep dive into the vocal reverb. Don't know if it's a tad too wet, but the vocals are a bit too the background
