The Flood
The Flood An epic new release from Julience! 'The Flood' features themes of foreboding doom cleverly paired with a heavy guitar sound to inflict the emotion onto the listener. A captivating and passionate track that will draw in listeners from all areas of music. Classic rock and roll is evident in this track and we cannot wait to hear what Julience 'rocks' up with next.

Sax setup is Selmer Mark VI with a Meyer 7m mouthpiece. Overall, it's not perfect (I recorded this in one take just to check the quality), but it syncs really well, and is a good way to overcome the somewhat average microphone in the Sony camera.
