He put this on galaktikon 2. It's rebuilding a planet.

Rick Overton thank you!! I knew i recognized it from that album but i couldn’t remember where
I like how he talks about sneaking in melody into the metal becuase he couldnt with nathan so he gets his melody with swisgar vocals in the first Galaktikon album. In the become the storm he wanted to sneak more metal and nathan in as an F U to adult swim and to give his fans what they wanted. What a fickle and genius man.
I don't know about anyone else but Rebuilding a Planet sounds like a love song to me
I love learning more about his creative songwriting process. Brendon never ceases to amaze me!
Definitely sounds like a Galaktikon song. So cool
Wish I had a big bucket of Hoglan licks to riff over...
Rebuilding a planet rocks my world so hard♥️ thank you Brendan for the years and years of laughs and music. 🤘
Knowing that this turned into a Galaktikon song made me pay much closer attention after i heard that lead!
It's startin' to get nice and heavy.

Brendon small looks badass like that
how did it take 9 years for this to pop onto my feed
Brandon small is so awesome
I wrote and recorded a song last night that sounds a lot like early Immortal back when Abbath was on drums
The fact that he can shred on a Les Paul like that gives me hope
Thanks Brendon
I wonder if Brendan has "musics dislexia"?☺

***** its a joke, in the show Metalocalypse, the incredible Dethklok lead guitarist, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, can't read music because he has it. Also, Skwisgaar tends to pluralize words that should be singular. Brendan voices most of the cartoon band, including Skwisgaar, so I jokingly asked if he also suffers from musics dislexia☺

Jet Pack it's really weird but I super love hearing demos and raw versions of songs, especially from Brendon. It reminds me of being a kid and finding bands on Myspace, particularly the Metalocalypse songs straight from the show which sometimes were slightly extended or ones we'd never get like the banana sticker song. The show was such a big part of my life growing up, and while I'm happy that Brendon is successful with Galaktikon, it doesn't quell the anger I harbor towards Mike Lazzo and Adult Swim lol. I appreciate then for being the medium to bring me this, but Lazzo is a fucking baby and he basically slapped us all in the face and mocked us when all we wanted was an ending to our show.
Sounds A minor in the first part but plug in an f to that it makes a minor 6th (f major) to flat 7th (g major) to root (a major) kinda progression. Really cool sounding!
I hear the home movies theme song somewhere in there
This eventually turned into Rebuilding a Planet from Galaktikon II
We have the same office chair
Oh nice he uses the same pedal board as i do
Metal god
He's good.
Is this galaktikon 2 ?
What software is he using? I'm considering buying Logic Pro X
Anyone know what he's using for input? Is he playing through his amp with some mics, or is he using a preamp or something? I'm using a line 6 preamp and I don't get anywhere near that quality, but if I try using a mic I get static out the ass.

it sounds like it could be on galaktikon.. but maybe gene meant the drums are going to sound like a dethklok record.. cause the whole point of brendon's galaktikon was to have music that wasnt heavy enough to be a dethklok song, cause he likes melody, not just death metal.

Might be different for the second Galaktikon, though, since Brendon probably won't be making Dethalbums anymore.
He looks like Daniel Johns

That’s the best way to use pro tools. and when you’re done with it you can just toss all that gear, the MacBook Pro, and the Avid shit in the trash. Next song idea you get new shit.
Really wanted vocals lol
Next... how to record voice over with one actor.
I groomed my blade handle to be goofy bros. no edged sticks, bros.
For some reason Brendon reminds me of Shia Leboeuf
