Deftones-ish sounding composition

[Under Eternal Skies]

I've been trying to write a song that has a strong Deftones vibe/influence. Its tough to achieve but let me know what you guys think of this. I tried to get that punchy guitar tone and use similar chords that Stephen Carpenter would use. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Battle of Los Angeles

its nice but too much solos

in deftones music there's no solos , the few you can hear are just frank's digital riffs and sometimes chino's guitars but its not solos its chords

its hard to get the sound of stephen .....i try but i can't

[chino17]

sounds like deftones

what do you think about that ? ok its really bad quality!

[Under Eternal Skies]

Yeah I only added the solos to give it a little more of my stylin but yeah your right. Also, your vid isn't great quality but the riffs your playing sound sick man. I really liked that. Record it!

[chino17]

i really like your main riff , could you record it without the solo?

[wheresmysnare]

Nice riff man, probably more straight up nu-metal than modern day deftones, think it would need to be a bit darker and less 'off the shelf' to qualify as a stef-like riff. the solo is cool too but i'd strip the solo back and give it less air time as it were but yeah good, promising stuff.

Chino17 - yours is really cool.
It sounds like a missing SWN demo

i like it. cool atmosphere, the beginning has got a little passanger vibe i think. the rest of the song was also nice !

[chino17]

thanks from_musings i'd like to discover my (deftyones) music to everyone but i need a better recorder!!!

[chino17]

hey Under Eternal Skies i lost my youtube password so... my tuning  is C G C F A D  i use the beats of my boss loop station (RC2) and the distortion comes from my Boss multi pedal board and its the DS-1 .

i'd like to hear the other compositions you do!

Chino17, It reminds me of this

wwf ultimate warrior theme music

Not that that is a bad thing!

[Deftones-argentina]

I kind of loved the solos, even though they  were not deftones, they added something personal to it, and Kind of fitted well and had some taste while not overdoing some speedy stuff.

Great to hear we've got some real talent on this forum.
Well done to both of you guys - really really good stuff!!!
Under Eternal Skies - I agree about what some of the guys are saying about the solo's.
I'm just not a fan of solo's and also it doesn't sound like something Stef would do. I'd love to hear what it sounds like if you could change the solo parts.
Regardless it sounds really professional and you've got a really cool riff there - well done.
Chino17 - your riff is really sic!!
I've heard things recorded in far worse quality so that didn't really detract from it for me.
Are you in a band? - I'd love to hear what could be done to this with some drums, bass and some vocals.

could be a deftones live intro

Hey, any chance of you recording it w/o the drum track i'd like to layer over it on my roland kit !

effects come from Boss ME50 : phaser  + DS-1+ expression pedal with resonance
