Making a Metal Record Ep. 11 - From Skeletons To Demos

This is part of a series documenting the ongoing production of my solo project. In this video, we're choosing the top 15 rough song foundations (skeletons) and moving on to the demo phase where we'll start to flesh things out.



All of the other ideas that aren't part of the top 15 are getting the axe.



This video is part of a series about producing a metal record from start to finish completely DIY.



If you're looking for ways to actually PRODUCE your next metal project instead of just recording it, you might find this series interesting.
