I play in an unsigned band called Nerve End. You can check out our latest music video (featuring my Ibanez UV7S) here:

I also recorded and mixed our newest release, so if you have any questions regarding the production, I'm really happy to answer them!

Since I joined in just recently, I'll make a brief introduction:

I've been playing Ibanez guitars for over 10 years. A few years back had a brief and devastating act of infidelity with Schecter, but now I'm back playing mostly Ibanez guitars

Here are my main tools!

The guitars in the picture are (from top-left to bottom right) Ibanez UV7S, Ibanez RG827QMZ, Ibanez JPM100P4, Ibanez LS300 and Ibanez ST200.

In early 2013 I got endorsed by the Finnish importer/retailer Levytukku. I'm really glad and lucky to be a part of the official Ibanez artist roster!

(Here's the photo they put on ibanez.com. It's me doing my "angry metal singer" expression )

Awesome, one of the best things I've heard for ages. Made an epic sound look effortless, well envious - you do Ibanez proud!! Love the RG827 as well. Also major drooling over the bass players $$... Would love one of those for the collection.

Awesome stuff Yonas, i have shared this with a friend of mine who is a DJ on an internet radio station in the UK, he loves it, PM me some details if you don't mind so i can put you in touch with him, he will want to give it some air time.

Wow, that's great production on that song. Fun to crank up LOUD!

My little criticism: I would prefer a the vocals to be a little more prominent and distinct. Sometimes they get a little lost in the mix.

Thanks!

Yeah, I've heard that a lot about the vocals. Every single lead has three takes blended as one, which gives the vocals a kind of a chorusy vibe, but also makes them a bit muffled. "Hiding" the vocals was consious decision, since I wanted everyone to turn up their volume when listening to the songs.

That being said, I want to make the vocals much clearer on our upcoming full lenght album, since I've gotten way better as a singer, and there should be no real reason to hide the vocals
