"Grotesque Garden" - my prog metal band

Hello there! This is my band Grotesque Garden's debut EP "Himo".

There's all you love - djent, polyrhythms and guitar tuning so unnecessarily low the strings vibrate.

Through my music I tried to express the vibe of my character

Spotify

Youtube

Apple Music

Enjoy!

This sounds like it would make for an absolutely badass game soundtrack. Guitar tone is absolutely crushing, and it's very technical but not in a flashy way.

Thank you, much appreciate it!

It's funny, a lot of people said that my music sounds like a game soundtrack :)

Any guitar string vibrates, that's how they make sound ;)

Anyhow I liked these tracks, this style of music doesn't usually appeal much to me but you've got some great sound textures, plus there's a lot of space in both the composition and mixing that give it almost an ambient-noise feel, instead of being overly dense and aggressive like many tracks in these kind of genres. Don't know if that's what you were going for but it's meant to be a compliment so I hope you take it as such.

Yes! This is exactly what I wanted to achieve :)

Initially, I was not a metal artist, but an ambient and industrial musician.

And when I became a metal composer, I started applying my ambient techniques to metal.

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you like it ^^
