Incredible song, kinda floored by this one. Powerful lyrics, the instrumental takes them even further, with the real frantic chugging rhythms in the verse, into the calmer, lighter, chorus. LOVE the way the breakdown and last chorus bring the Ukrainian and Japanese lyrics together. And the harsh vocals in the breakdown! That's so cool, I've gotta figure out how to do that in SynthV. Overall, amazing song.
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!
And I'm particularly happy you noticed my intention with the lyrics in the breakdown and the last chorus, hehe.
As for the harsh vocals, there's a tutorial on youtube.
Basically, I dabbled with the settings a bit and used the script mentioned in the video, which changes the pitch deviation parameter and creates this wonky electronic sound. Then we added real growls in the background (thanks to Fayanzār for providing them!) to support the main vocals, and finally, we added some distortion.
P.S. I like your Homestuck profile pic!
