Myth Of I guitarist Jennings Smith is now streaming his debut solo effort "Bahamut," whose runtime is essentially progressive metal insanity distilled down for a few minutes. It's pretty great, though unsurprising if you've heard anything else Smith has done.
"This song is the end result of many years of blood, sweat and tears" Jennings Smith explains. "This song was written, recorded, programmed, and mixed entirely by myself – the only aspect I did not handle was mastering, done by the wonderful Jack Kosto. When I first started recording, I had a USB mic that came from the game 'Rock Band' taped to a Line 6 Spider 3. It sounded absolutely terrible. The songs I wrote sucked, and the mixes were even worse. I was a lefty playing right handed guitars who couldn't pick for shit. You can call it perseverance, but I think I was just too stubborn to quit while I was down. 'Bahamut' is proof that with enough hard work, you can overcome just about any obstacle."
Smith will release "Bahamut" alongside limited edition merch on February 18 here via Bandcamp.
