Written, recorded and produced by Dan Oliv (a.k.a. dmometalguitar)

Metal instrumentals don't always have to be overly melodic or super produced. Here's a bit more brutality with my B.C. Rich Mockingbird guitar (rhythms), ESP M-II (solos) and Yamaha Motion B bass.

I created my metal tone and presets with Amplitube (guitars) and Pod Farm (bass). I recorded and mixed the song with GarageBand, using Line 6's UX1 interface.

I'm using BetaMonkey drums (Double Bass Mania). Drum beats, fills and loops were also edited and mixed in GarageBand.

This metal instrumental is called "Dark Fragments", written and recorded by myself. With all my original songs, I try to be different from the many players out there who usually sound like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani or Yngwie Malmsteen. I'm influenced primarily by classic Thrash Metal bands such as Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Testament, Anthrax, Sepultura, Megadeth among others.

My B.C. Rich Mockingbird guitar features DiMarzio pickups (PAF and Super Distortion) and Kahler 2300 tremolo. The ESP MII features Floyd Rose tremolo and EMG 81 active pickups.
