Jul. 1st, 2019 11:05 pmI've played for "Nature of Hell" before, and last time it was a bit stressful. That time around I had a few weeks to prepare, I decided to try and go back to bass guitar for some reason and I'd never heard any of the songs before.
This time around however, I'm loving it. I have a full month to prep, I still remember how a lot of their songs work. Plus I'm sticking to my trusty double bass (although I might do a few guitar style, but that's an optional extra).
Another factor is I'm in a much better mental state for practicing. I write a lot of this up to the mediation routine I'm in, I'm very conditioned to: wake up early, walk the dog, meditate and then practice a NoH song before I start work. A few years ago I was still in the "Drag self out of bed in time to have breakfast and work" mode and then my evenings were pretty cluttered as well.
I guess all this is summed up by: I'm enjoying playing with NoH this time around, I'm looking forward to the gig!
