Christ Jesus is the only One giving me marching orders. Anything that isn't a drum machine is me. Song: Crankshaft Track: 3 Album: Hometown Zero Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

I really hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. It is more difficult than it seems to overlay 4 guitar tracks over each other by yourself.... When you are at best a novice recording artist.... and you don't really know what you're doing.... Anyway, enjoy! Song: The Chosen One Track: 2 Album: Lafayette-No-Ryu Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

This specific recording was just after I got a new, well-paying job an bough a shitload of new equipment and was not really familiar with it, yet. The guitar is new, the pickups are new, the bass is new, the bass amplifier is new, the guitar amplifier is new, and the recording interface is all new. Everything was new. Long story short, I'm a pretty good guitarist and bassist and a novice recording artist, so this is what that gets you.... Uh, fuck drums.

I fine your lack of bass, disturbing. Song: In That Instant Track: 11 Album: Lafayette-No-Ryu Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

Based on my former friend who used to retort with that phrase when someone said something stupid. "Uh, yeah, that'll get ya killed in the street." Meaning that was a dumb idea or something to that effect. My mom likes this one. Everything that isn't a drum machine is me. Song: Killed in the Street Track: 2 Album: Hometown Zero Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

Piece off of my second album, I wrote this when I was like 20 or 21, no metronome, no drums (obviously), no clicktrack either. Solid feels. Enjoy. Song: Shreds Album: Lafayette-no-Ryu Track: 6 Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

This is a tune I wrote when I was like 19, I mainly used this as a warm-up before a recording session until a friend of mine said that it should be a song. A main song, in a place on honor on the album. She meant a main song because both the rhythm and solo parts of this particular song was so brutal. So I did. {Editors' Note: Congratulations, Mr. Trump, I wish you and your family the best.} {Post Editors' Note Note: We did it.}

This might sound similar to some other pieces I have, I assure you it is a different song. Same skeleton, different tone altogether. Anything you hear that isnt' a drum machine is me. Song: Red-Eyed Blues Album: Lafayetteu No-Ryu Track: 9 Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved. {Editors' Note: Congratulations, Mr. Donald Trump on the big win. You earned it.}

Fun song I wrote years ago in the 12 Bar style, using my heavy metal guitar settings. This is the skeletal structure that I use to write a number of my songs, for any fellow musicians out there.

I like to put 1 or 2 avante garde attempts on each of my albums. Each of these works of art are not meant to have a time signature, a time, a timing, or any other semblance of structure. It's just pure skill and pure sound. Everything you hear here that is not a drum machine is me. Song: Team Christ Album: The Vermilion Phoenix Track: 1 Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

I really like this one. At first, I was thinking having a bass and guitar solo at the same time was too much, and maybe it is, but I love it. Everything you hear that isn't a drum machine is me. Song: Turbo Charge Album: Hometown Zero Track: 7 Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

This one took longer than 45 minutes to write lol. Anything you hear that isn't a drum machine is me by the way. My entire first album is about cars even though I don't know anything about cars, I have no idea. Song: Rollcage Album: Hometown Zero Track: 5 Artist: Gekokujo All Rights Reserved.

I was inspired, wrote, and recorded this song in about 45 minutes one weekday night after having trouble sleeping and having already taken two sleeping pills. That's how inspiration works sometimes. I actually wrote 2 songs that night and I might post the other one day. Everything that isn't a drum machine is me.
