Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies) - Fear Factory guitar cover

Upload date: March 30th, 2022. My rendition of Fear Factory's "Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies)", 6th track on the 'Digimortal' album. I've been wanting to cover something from this band for a long time (especially since I listened to them almost as much as Metallica back in my high school years), and finally here it is, roughly 15 years (since I started my channel) loooooong overdue. But yeah, this has always been one of my favorites of theirs, and there are definitely a few more Fear Factory tunes/favorites I have in mind to do after this one (especially ever since I broke out the ol' de-tuned 7-string from its long slumber in autumn '21).
Not a whole lot to say aside from I made a few minor tweaks, namely the lil' tremolo-picked bits here and there, I had to alter them to something more simple for convenience sake...especially considering I don't have a noise gate, and trying to tremolo-pick with that level of distortion without one even when properly palm-muted tends to be a recipe for disaster, and in my case - it absolutely was, big time...especially for the breakdown/"DARK!" section in particular, I had to improvise/simplify/'chunk' that part to remedy that situation...but I guess it kiiiind of works? It gives those notes a bit more emphasis/'ooomph' in a way (and it also let me get back to the clean riff a lot more smoothly, which was certainly an advantage). The FF purists probably won't like that, but hey, hopefully my faux-backwards-guitar-effect riff at the end makes up for it. XP Anyway, enjoy as always!
