Episode #30 - Darkness Remains (title track) - Part 2

This week, we conclude the two-part deep dive into the song "Darkness Remains."  The band picks up the story by providing recording details for the song, including locations, gear, tones, and even a click track. Armand walks you through the painstaking composition of the song's epic closing guitar solo, part-by-part, including note choices, timing, and why the live version differs from the studio version.  Dusty explains how, from a drumming perspective, this song is a perfect example of knowing when to play and when not to play. And Jarvis breaks down the lyrics, explaining how this song fits into the three-part trilogy on the album. You'll learn how and why the "watery" vocal effect was achieved. Finally, the guys talk about playing "Darkness Remains" live, how it connects with audiences, the lighting effects, tempos, and energy.
