"Through The Storm"

Tutorial on guitar effects in this track
This track was inspired on a rainy and windy day.
It sets the mood with some rain, wind and thunder
effects at the start of the track. As you can hear it
leans heavy on the drums. It gives the track a good
punchy base to work with.
The track starts a bit slow paced to build up the mood.
Long guitar notes are used to give it that stretched
guitar feel. I'd image it to fit with the wind and rain howling past your house and you knowing that you'll have to eventually get outside and pass through this weather. The piano helps to set up this emotion even further.
When the track kicks off at 1:07min, It's like leaving your house through the front door and getting a face-full of bad weather for the first time. The pace change is a musical representation of battling through the wind and rain. There is a brief moment of shelter at 1:40min a bit, just to get back at full swing 2:28min. The last part of the track at 2:44min is depicting a safe return back home again.
