The Monster I've Become

I recorded this song around October 2004 in my apartment. At the time, I ran my electric guitar through a distortion pedal and into a Realistic brand mixer which plugged into the sound card on my computer. For the drum beats I used a toy keyboard that I had owned since I was 9. I didn’t have a proper guitar slide, so I used a screwdriver instead.


This was the first song I recorded for a concept album I did called The Monster I’ve Become. The story was, get this, a man turning into a literal monster. But wait, it was a metaphor for me turning into a figurative monster. Pretty deep, huh?
