Linkin Park - Numb Cover by Chance Battenberg and Ariah Christine
Here's a cover I worked on with Ariah Christine! We were both on Jared Dines's vocal showcase video and we got a whole lot of requests to do a collab and I agreed so here we are!
A lot of people have been saying that I kinda sound like Chester, so we figured we should do a linkin park song. We also wanted to choose one that would highlight both of our voices as well.
I'm proud to announce my brand new song - A Change in Motion!
I'm super excited to finally be able to share this song as it was a while in the making, and it's my favorite song I've ever written. Plus I was able to get @Bradley Hall to do one of his signature insane solos, and he absolutely smashed it!
A Change in Motion is about the bittersweet feeling of moving on from something and accepting the changes that come with it. This song is very personal to me and I wrote it to try to explain how I felt in the only way I really know how to, in song form.

Lyrics down below:
Time...
Time keeps passing by
But I’ll tell myself that it’s alright
Days have turned to years since I last saw your face
When you said to me
That I’m sorry
Look into my eyes
Before you go
And say goodbye
A change in motion
A change we need
How can I move on if I can’t walk away?
A change in motion
A change we need
Cause facing everything can never hide the pain!
A change is all we need
Loss, my only emotion
Plagued with a reason
Of “I don’t know”
How couldn’t I see this
Even beside you I was alone
Look into my eyes
Before you go
And say goodbye
A change in motion
A change we need
How can I move on if I can’t walk away?
A change in motion
A change we need
Cause facing everything can never hide the pain!
A change is all we need
Thoughts were running through my head
About the things I should have said
But nothing can change what’s been done to me
Long term pain is hard to hide
Just fake a smile, enjoy the ride
But I can’t hide these scars that multiply
Flesh and bone can’t heal a broken mind!
Pressure builds inside
It eats me alive
Fear of love that’s incomplete
Rejection building disbelief
Life is just too short to dwell
on conditions I’ve known too well
Light is shining down on me
Escape from pain and suffering
I’m leaving all my thoughts behind
Clarity for a broken mind
A change in motion
A change we need
How can I move on if I can’t walk away?
A change in motion
A change we need
Cause facing everything can never hide the pain!
A change is all we need
(Fear of love that’s incomplete)
(Rejection building disbelief)
What we need
(Life is just too short to dwell)
What we need
(On conditions I’ve known too well)
(Light is shining down on me)
Change is al

This is the song I made for the Rob Scallon Song Contest using the two riffs given. I took a lot of creative freedom with this one and I think it turned out well. Hope you enjoy!

Here's the cover I did with @haleyroughton3537 of "Lowered" by Greg Puciato and Reba Meyers! This song was definitely out of my comfort zone a bit when it came to tones, mixing, etc., but I think ended up sounding pretty sick.
Huge thanks to @haleyroughton3537 for doing vocals on the track, she killed it and made the track really work.

Ascendancy by @Trivium is one of my favorite albums of all time, and one of the few albums I consider to be a perfect 10/10. I wanted to do something to pay tribute to it, so I decided to do a full cover of the album with @Simoran, just in time before seeing them on the deadmen and dragons tour.
@Matthew kiichichaos Heafy has probably influenced me more than anyone else as a guitarist and singer. @Paolo Gregoletto and Corey Beaulieu have also been huge influences on my writing as well. While learning how to both sing and play, I used these songs for years to get better and figure out how to do it. Some of these songs are still super challenging to this day (I'm looking at you suffocating sight).
This album took a monumental amount of work so a like and share on the video would be much appreciated! Let me know what your favorite song on the album is in the comments!
HUGE shoutout to the people who helped make this happen!
@Simoran: Guitar
@mgrocki: Bass (Pull Harder and Gunshot)
@Bradley Hall: Guitar Solo (Pull Harder)
@Joel Rawlins: Piano and Orchestration (The End of Everything)

Here's my playthrough using the GGD Studio Cabs: Cali Oversized Cab Pack! I ran the Cab IR's through my Axe FX and the result was insane, mix ready guitars almost instantly! Nolly and the GGD team nailed these IR's like they always do and I'll probably be using them from now on as my main cabs.
Hope you guys enjoyed the track! Here's a link to get the cab packs for yourself, I highly recommend them!

I'm super excited to show you guys my newest project Bizkitbox! This project has been in the works since Spiritbox and Limp Bizkit started to go on tour together, so I'm glad I finally finished it! Basically I took Limp Bizkit songs (before knowing a surprise album was going to be released lol) and rewrote them how I imagined Spiritbox would write them using their released songs pre-Eternal Blue.
Doing this project made me realize how talented of guitarists both Mike Stringer and Wes Borland are, and that there are a lot more similarities in their play styles than you'd think. Let me know if you'd like me to do more projects like these, I had a lot of fun doing it!
Here's the tracklist:
0:00 Break Stuff
0:22 Nookie
0:42 Rollin'
1:13 The Story
2:03 My Way
2:53 Counterfeit
3:55 Re-Arranged
Let me know in the comments if you've figured out which Spiritbox songs I used as influences for each song!
