I had to push myself to get this one finished: learning to play some tricky guitar parts, arranging some tunes that were outside of my comfort zone, rerecording a few sections from earlier that didn’t turn out as intended, and testing the mix out on a lot of different speakers in many settings. I think it ultimately turned out pretty well and is as proper a homage as I can muster!<\/p>\n I also got a big chunk of Inferno finished. With any luck it will be finished early spring 2025.
