CLOUDFIST

So Brian and I finished a really heavy tune called "Cloudfist". This one's got metal written all over it -- Meshuggah, Cloudkicker, Tool.

Download it!

Future - remix 2!

I decided to rerecord guitars and redo drums for my remix of Brian's "Future" song. There are a great many versions of this song.
