I couldn't play a nylon string guitar without a pick in this case, so I got my friend James to perform this piece.

The outro riff is the chromatic descending chord progression from Mozart's requiem mass, Confutatis movement. It kinda works.

We met a singer, let him loose on the music, and he came back with this vocal line which is awesome. He's great. Iwas trying to write for 2 guitars in harmony and still have lots of room for vocals.

Albums
Anaphase is a heavy metal project created, written, and recorded by Greg Thompson (myself), with help from contributing artists I met along the way. I composed all of the music, played all guitars, and programmed all drums. Justin Wehrell (JWOW) "Jenny" co-wrote and played all of the bass parts. Midnight Sun was written by myself, and performed by James Gardner.
