Playthrough: “Flies” from The Black Dahlia Murder!
The fifth and final part of a series of drum playthrough videos from Alan Cassidy of The Black Dahlia Murder filmed and recorded with Aaron Lumsden at Akuro Productions and mixed by Eliot Bayless has arisen from the black depths in “Flies“. Interestingly enough for this one he is joined by John Kempainen, a man who played guitars in The Black Dahlia Murder from 2002 to 2008 and therefore never actually played in the band with Cassidy, who joined in 2012.
Alan Cassidy comments: “Flies has always been one of my favorite Black Dahlia songs and I have wanted to cover it for a while now. I met John a few years ago and when I finally had the time to learn and record the song I thought it would be cool to ask him to do guitar for it and get something better than an AI stem extraction. Luckily, he had already been learning and practicing this song so it didn’t take long to get him out to Akuro Productions to record it. We purposely decided to keep it just drums and one guitar to try and create a live feel of the two of us playing together in the same room which I think gives it a little more raw energy to the recording.”
