Hey guys,

Since I've always had an amazing response from the community every time I posted something, I thought I would share two new songs from my band Colliding Parallels (Quebec, Canada) with you.

I think you will find "In the Mind of Homonculus" more interesting from a keyboard player perspective. It features some presets, some custom-made and some community-made sounds on the Kronos. The main "lead" sound is actually a slightly modified sound from Sound of Planets (man, your Protein sound pack gave me so much inspiration, like this whole new song). The history of this song is that I came up with that lead idea before a jam and then we improvised around it all night until we got it as we liked it.

The other one, A fit of Anger, is less keyboard-oriented as I do the metalcore "screams" back vocals. The song has metalcore influences, but it definitely has that progressive vibe in it. I hope you guys like it! I tried to squeeze a short solo after the interlude, but I am most definitely not as talented as some of you guys are.

Please, let me know what you guys think, I'd appreciate any constructive criticism or praises Very Happy

!! Also, if you have any keyboard advice, let me know, I struggled a lot to find some ideas on "A fit of anger" (I had to write the keyboard because it had none).

Nice music! I love the diversity of the songs. The guitars in A Fit of Anger are really up front and in your face, whereas In the Mind of Homunculus is a lot more ambient. I like the keys, they add a lot of depth. Not so impressed by the vocals though.

I looked up your band's facebook page and liked it with my band's page (Epic Mind).
