Date: Early Spring - 2005

I remember this piece coming after a dry spell on the guitar. Late 2004 and into early 2005 wasn't a great time for me personally. As a result, I let my playing slide a bit. This piece represented a return to form. It's a little rough around the edges, but I like the way it turned out overall.

During this time, I was influenced by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. I was studying a lot of his riffs. The B section was definitely inspired by him; I wanted to write something that had some of his sludgey style.
