Can a progsong be a banger? – Hxvoc tells the „Ballad of the Witch“ with Solaria singing the witch (don’t be afraid, she is a nice one)

Hi #ethicalartifacts, as I announced in my answer to your commentary to my song „I find no relief“, I have listened to your songs again trying to learn what makes a real banger. This is the result, you’ll have to jugde how far I have succeeded. Somehow Hxvoc and Solaria won’t tell me, I hope that’s not a bad sign. :wink: I learned while working on the song, that shortness is something that can indeed give a song some extra impact, energy, punch. Keeping heads banging for 9 minutes is a difficult task…
By „ballad“, I don’t mean a slow love song, but those poems with much text that unfold not the emotions of one single person, but a story with some action.
I have to admit that this is a song that my band could only perform in a somewhat simplified version, regarding the rhythms of the kick drum which is often followed by bass and guitars.
I hope your head starts moving while listening, and happy holidays if you have holidays, like gauzde and me! :smiley:

The editing was successful (my amateur assessment), but I have both links and will listen to them again and again because I enjoy listening to them…

I’m glad that you see the revision of the mix as an improvement, too, especially as your information were the base for it! And it’s nice to hear that you still enjoy listening to my songs. :star_struck:
