Fire Breather
Hey folks, we've posted the new version of "Fire Breather" on the site for your enjoyment।
Download Fire Breather here
I'm getting the sense that this may be a track that turns out to be upsetting or controversial to some people, but it's all in how you interpret it. In the interest of conversation and letting people draw their own conclusions I'd rather not say too much about it in depth - just that it has much more to do with awareness & compassion than any sort of violence. I hope it stands out as something very drastically different style-wise from a lot of music out there at the moment.
Tibetan Monk 'Shot' while on Fire - Feb 28 - BBC
This may explain further the inspiration behind Fire Breather. The track, while partially chaotic and personal, was also inspired by legitimate social protest. This is a phenominon in Tibet right now and it's a very interesting discussion point.
Tibetan monk 'shot' while on fire
Chinese authorities are trying to stop protests by Tibetans A Tibetan monk has been shot after setting fire to himself during a protest at Beijing's rule, reports say.
The incident happened in the Tibetan-populated town of Aba in southwest China's Sichuan province during a gathering of more than 1,000 monks. The monk, named Tapey, is said to have shouted slogans and waved a Tibetan flag, then used petrol to start a fire. Campaign groups said witnesses then saw Chinese police shoot the man. Banned meeting The monk collapsed and was taken away by the police.
China's official Xinhua news agency confirmed a man had set himself on fire, saying he was taken to a hospital and treated for burns injuries. It made no mention of any gunshot wounds. The protest began after more than 1,000 Tibetan Buddhist monks gathered at a temple in the town to celebrate the third day of the Tibetan new year. Chinese officials had earlier banned the gathering.
After the incident, news agencies reported a heavy police presence on the streets of the town. "There are many policemen on patrol in the street and all of them have guns," an employee at a teahouse in Aba told the AFP news agency. It is extremely difficult to independently confirm any information coming out of Tibetan areas.
China's authorities have restricted access to the region. Next month marks the 50th anniversary of the escape into exile of the Dalai Lama and China wants to make sure there are no Tibetan protests in support of the exiled spiritual leader like those of a year ago, says the BBC's James Reynolds in Beijing. More than 200 Tibetans are thought to have been killed in a Chinese crackdown in the region, which it has ruled since an invasion in 1950. China claims Tibet is part of its historic territory, but Tibetan groups in exile regard the invasion as a tragedy.

Equipment List - Recording Insight
Equipment List - Recording Insight
Oi.It's Gus.
If you've made it to this page then it's safe to say that you're looking for some content from us here at The Unravelling. And being the generously, accommodating motherfuckers that we are, I figured a couple of tidbits with regards to our recording style - equipment we use - and thought processes behind the making of this music might be interesting for some of you. So here we go:
Equipment:
Guitars:
Gibson SG Gothic
Gibson Les Paul Gothic
Epiphone SG Gothic (I'm partial to the Gothic Series I guess)
Amps and Effects: Line 6 POD Pro rack unit
Line 6 Flextone 3
Line 6 Gear Box Gold Edition(we're living in modern times - I'm sorry but tube amps have never been there for me so fuck'em)
Bass:Line 6 Variax Bass(Mostly use the Fender Precision Bass setting - It gives an awesome low end chunk almost like the perfect marriage between Paul D'Amour and Justin Chancellor's bass tone. At least in my deluded world that is but neither of these guys ever used a fucking Fender bass so I'll have to say that it just 'sounds cool' to me.
Drums:No drummer!I use drum samples from the following companies:http://www.drumsondemand.com/http://www.betamonkeymusic.com/(We beef them up with BFD samples when we can though - Steve has a knack for coming over and radically altering my weak ass drum tracks for the better. So thats a little something that you have now learnt about the infamous Steve Moore - he secretly has suppressed drumming aspirations)
DAW: (Digital Audio Workstation)
Pro Tools (It's the industry standard so why dabble with anything else - learnt how to use it at a lil place called OIART - check it out)
Before I go, here's a great piece of advice for any aspiring recording engineers and home studio enthusiasts (that I didnt make up) I heard it from a guy called Mark Vogelsang. He probably doesnt even remember telling us this but I sure do - "Spend the time not the money"What I got out of this was the following:Even though every time we open any music magazine and see all this fantastic shit that we pine for - we should always strive to master the gear that we have already.
Learn it, practice on it, use it constantly teach yourself how to get the most out of it and make your songs sound as good as they can. As your budget increases so will the quality of your equipment but your greatest strength will be your ability to harvest the best results from whatever gear you're using. Pretty cool huh?
Have a good one.

Malicious Viruses? Why not?
In the interest of full disclosure, and keeping you all posted as to our album recording progress, we've posted "In the Safehouse" for a limited time to the Unravelling's Myspace profile and our new official website, http://www.theunravellingmusic.com/. I say limited not to be a business-type sounding jerk - it's just that we're going at a good pace and seem to be replacing tracks left right and centre. Plus, these are demo versions. We'll be going through quite the meticulous mastering process - but being modern musicians, we'd be shooting ourselves in the collective feet if we held these tracks back from getting spread like malicious viruses across the interweb. That's where you, our friends, come in.The album recording should be done in a matter of a few weeks here. Then it's mixing and mastering - making sure we're as happy as possible with the full product. Then of course it goes to press.
Do y'all still buy CD's? I'm trying to, myself. Recently I bought some discs from Made Out of Babies, Dillinger Escape Plan, Propagandhi, Lamb of God, K'Naan and Time of Orchids - try to focus on at least the innovative artists out there who I want to keep going.That's all for now, hope 2009 is not beating you in the face so far. At least put up a fight, friends.
